Great Bri/avt 185 0/ Portland, Vol. V.; Report on Afanuscripts in the Welsh Language, Vol. I., Part II.; and Vol. VIII. (1598) of the 7?./<v-/ on the MSS. of the Manjiiis of Salisbury. Volume LXIII. of the Dictionary of National Biography is now pub- lished. With this volume, which extends from Wordsworth to Zuylestein, and which completes the dictionary, are published inde.xes for the first fourteen volumes, also an introduction giving an account of the incep- tion of the work and its progress during the last eighteen years. Mr. J. H. Round has in the press (Westminster, Constable) a vol- ume of Studies in Peerage and Farnily History. Messrs. Kegan, Paul, Trench, Trubner and Co. are to publish the essay on England under the Protector Somerset, with which Mr. A. W. Pol- lard recently won the Arnold Prize at Oxford. The Successors of Drake, by Julian Corbett (Longmans), designed as a concluding volume to the author's Drake and the Tudor Navy, is in press. The Hakluyt Society has published The Voyage of Rohtrt Dudley, af- terward styled Earl of IVarwick and Leicester and Duke of Northumber- land, to the West Indies, i^g^-i^g^, narrated by Captain JVyatt, by himself, and by Abram Kendall, Master, edited by Mr. G. F. Warner of the British Museum (pp. Ixvi, 104). Of the three narratives indicated, the first is derived from a Sloane MS., the second from the pages of Hakluyt, the third (practically a ruttier) is translated from Dudley's Arcano del Mare. The society has also issued The Jour7iey of William of Rubruck to the Eastern Parts of the World, I2^j—I2jj, as narrated by himself, toith two accounts of the earlier Journey of John of Plan de Car- pine (pp. hi, 304), translated from the Latin and edited with grea*- learning by Hon. W. W. Rockhill of the U. S. diplomatic service. Messrs. Duckworth and Co. publish A History of the Baronetage, by Francis W. Pixley, F.S.A., registrar of the Honorable Society of the Baronetage. It appears that no history of the baronetage has previously been written. It must therefore be regarded as curious that simulta- neously there should appear the first volume of a work called The Complete Baronetage (Exeter, Pollard) by G. E. C. , author of The Complete Peerage. This first volume relates solely to the baronets of James I.'s creation. The latest addition to the "Builders of Greater Britain" series (Longmans) is a volume on Sir Stamford Raffles by Mr. Hugh E. Eger- ton, author of the Short History of English Colonial Policy, reviewed in a previous issue of this Review (IV. 588). Under the title, Our Fleet To-day, and its Development during the Last Half- Century, Captain S. Eardley-Wilmot, R. N., has prepared a re- vised edition of his work The Development of Navies during the Last Half- Century (Seeley and Co.). Messrs. Seeley and Co. publish General John Jacob, Com?nandant of the Sind Irregular Horse and Founder of Jacobabad, by Alexander Innes
