XIV., Part I. (University of Chicago Press, 2 dollars), the President, Mr. George Watson Cole, has an instructive essay, entitled" Bibliography—a Forecast," showing how much there is yet to be done by scholars working in co-operation and adopting scientific methods. Mr. Cole illustrates the value of- bibliographical research by reference to the first edition of Robert Greene'z Quip for an Upstart Courtier, a. copy of which appeared in the Britwell sale of December, 1919. The preface, which was modified in later editions, was a most venomous attack on Gabriel Harvey and his family, explaining clearly why Harvey was embittered against Greene and his friend Nash.
