Gossip from a Muniment Room. Transcribed and edited by Lady

Newdigate-Newdigate. (David Nutt.) — This book contains "passages from the Lives of Anne and Mary Fytton." It may be remembered that Mr. Tyler attempted to show that Mary Fytton was the dark lady of Shakespeare's "Sonnets." Upon this matter, however, we will express no opinion, and will only say that the letters (chiefly to Anne Fytton) contained in the present volume are very curious and quite worth publishing. The book is very well printed, as, indeed, are all books bearing Mr. Nutt's name.
