WOOD'S ATHENÆ OXONIENSES: the History of all the Writers and Bishops who have had their Education in the University of Oxford, from the Year 1500. First written by Anthony A. Wood, M.A. of Merton College; and now very considerably augmented in Text and Notes by Rev. Phjilip Bliss. Fellow of St.John's College, Oxford. 3 vols. royal 4to. 11l. 11s.—Volume IV. is in the press.
In the present of this publication of this very valuable body of English Biography, every word of the two former edition: has been retained with the most exact fidelity, so that the curious reader is no longer subject to the troublesome necessity of collecting the book as, first published by the author with the subsequent edition given to the world under the true of Bishop Tanner.
Besides the text of the two former editions, the present contains a vast number or Notes by Bishops Humphreys, Kennet. and Tanner, by Sir Philip Sydenham, Dr Rawlinson, Mr. Baker. Loveday, Morant, Peck, Wantey, Whalley, and Watts; with several by the present Editor, and many or great value, which have been communicated by intelligent collectors of the present day: Add to which, each Volume contains some few new Lives, of Persons whose connexion, with the University had escaped the industrious inquires of the Oxford Biographer.
"With unwearied diligence. and a mind devoted to the subject. Mr. Bliss most actively pursues his labour; and the writing of Anthony Wood appear before the public, not only in a new, but a much improved edition. Scarcely a Lite but has its additamenta, either in the text or in the notes: and these are carefully distinguished from the original. There are also some Lives entirly new."" In such a multiplicity of additions as these ample volumes contain, it would be wane than affection—would be untrue—to say that we had perused them all, and selected the best. The fact is. a few have been taller) on a cursory turning over me leaves."—Gent. Mag.
