    • • U.L.C. — University Library, Cambridge. Wordsworth = Correspondence of Richard Bentley. [Ed. by Christopher Wordsworth.] 2 vols. London, 1842. We have reprinted in an Appendix (1) A Proposal for building a Royal Library (no. 250) ; (2) the Latin verses which Bentley contributed to two of those collections which it was the fashion to publish when any public event was important enough to notice (nos. 251, 252) ; (3) his English stanzas in imitation of Horace (n0- 253> The first of these is a piece of which only one copy is known— and though the ascription of it to Bentley has been called in question —it seems to us to be sufficiently interesting in itself to warrant reproduction ; the verses which form the second group are entombed in folios not readily accessible in libraries ; while the third, though printed in several places, and notably by Monk, obviously demands the same recognition as the others. At the end of the Appendix will be found a list of all the known portraits of Bentley. We have been at some pains to make this as complete as possible, as the subject has received little or no attention from Bentley’s biographers. J. W. CLARK. Scroope House, Cambridge. 24 April, 1908.
