Gi-eat Britain and Ireland 945 and chief officers of manors : a bibliography of manorial literature, which will, together with the society's collection of manorial books and manu- scripts, be open to the inspection of members and correspondents; the compilation and publication of histories of manors, and the collection of information which may serve as material for such purposes; the circulation amongst members of copies, translations, and explanations of ancient documents of interest relating to manors, and an annual report of the transactions of the society ; and genealogical work. The headquarters of the society are at i, Mitre Court Buildings, Temple, London, E. C. During the twenty-five years since the Wyclit Society was founded for the purpose of bringing within the reach of students the works of the Reformer, which until then had existed only in manuscript, some thirty volumes have been published, dealing with scholastic logic, philosophy and theology ; the abuses in the Church, and the doctrines by which these abuses were upheld : and the theory of state government.

Two treatises of moderate length will complete the Siiinma Theologiae; among what remains there is a very interesting series of tracts which according to the editor.

The Honorary Secretary and Treasurer is Miss Dorothy G. Matthew, 56. Fellows Road, London, N. W. In the Historical Bulletin of the Rczkc Hisioriquc, for ^Larch-April and May-June, M.

The Cambridge University Press issues a collection of Ballads and Poems illustrating English History, edited by Frank Sidgwick and in- tended for use in schools. A few years ago Mr. L. O. Pike delivered at Oxford, at the request of the Regius Professors of Civil Law and Modern History, a lecture
