yio Notes and News The Earl of Crawford intends to issvte in the spring of 1908 a bib- liographical description, precis, and census of copies of all Tudor and Stuart proclamations, manuscript or printed, that can be found. The material for the work has lately been sent to the printer; it will be published by the Clarendon Press. Professor C. H. Firth and Mrs. S. C. Lomas have compiled a useful handbook entitled Notes on the Diplomatic Relations of England and France, 160^-1688 (Oxford, B. H. Blackwell, 1906, pp. 47), consisting of lists of English ambassadors and diplomatic agents from England to France and from France to England, with references showing where the letters and instructions of each ambassador are to be found, both in manuscript and in print. We should have noted earlier an interesting book by Lewis H. Berens on The Digger Movement in the Days of the Commonwealth, as revealed in the writings of Gerrard Winstanley, the Digger, Mystic and Rationalist, Communist and Social Reformer (London, Simpkin, pp. 260).

Constable. In his Essai d'nne Psychologic de I'Anglctcrrc Contemporainc, Lcs Crises Belliqueuscs (Paris, Alcan), M.
