NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. in. JUNE, 1917.
of the Royal Society of Medicine, vol. ix
-pp. 116-19. Dr. Wallis, who is the firs
modern scientist to criticize these pamphlets
evidently regards Marat as a medical writer
who was far in advance of his times. In the
face of such a pronouncement from so high
an authority it would be gross presumption
on my part to question Marat's scientific
attainments, but in spite of the degree con-
ferred upon him by the University of St
Andrews in 1775, I consider that we have
not sufficient evidence at present to con-
clude that Marat achieved any considerable
reputation in England.
Dr. Wallis informs me that Abraham Marat occupied 32 Church Street, now known as 37 Greek Street, whiqh is Kettner'f famous restaurant.

A Handbook to County Bibliography, being a Bibliography of Bibliographies relating to the Counties and Towns of Great Britain and Ireland. By Arthur L. Humphreys. (187 Picca- dilly, W., 21s. net.)
THE true reviewer of this work would be a person who had made some years' use of it in his own studies. We fancy that in the coming twenties there will be an increasing number of persons who, being occupied with topography and kin- dred subjects, antiquarian or historical, will find themselves indebted to Mr. Humphreys for considerable economy of time, money, and eye- sight, and wondering how they and their brethren, when setting out on some new field of exploration, ever did without him. The help he gives is pitched at the crucial point for economy, that is at the starting-point ; for which reason it is all the more likely that the compiler of this ' Hand- book ' by no means a handbook really, but a handsome, finely printed, and massive volume will presently be accorded the highest of all compliments belonging to a work of this kind, that of being taken as a matter of course, as an institution.
A brief preface explains the plan of the biblio- graphy, which comprises several features here for the first time appearing in a general record. The notes of collections still in manuscript form one of the most valuable of these ; another is the nsertion of bibliographical items buried in the
- ransactions of learned societies a most welcome
nstance of benevolence ; and yet another is the nclusion of bibliographical matter connected with 'oik-lore, chapbooks, ballads, and such subjects. The amount of detail which belongs to these leadings alone discovered by Mr. Humphreys's vigilance, and here brought together, is truly remarkable.
It must have been somewhat difficult to draw he line between topographical work of the first nstance, which does not come within the scope >f this work, and books which possess just ufficient bibliographical character to justify heir appearance. Doubtless their being on this jorderline accounts for the omission of several books which we should have expected to find here, ^he " Early English Text Society " does not ppear in the Index ; and the Registers of Oseney and Godstow published by it, as well as he Coventry Leet-book, are conspicuous by heir absence.
