"NOTES AND QUERIES ON THE ORMULUM, BY DR. MONICKE"
(_Programm der Handels-Lehranstalt zu Leipzig_, 1853).
Under the above title, Dr. Monicke has published what are considered by a
foreign critic some valuable observations on the admirable Oxford edition
(by Dr. Meadows White) of _The Ormulum_, an Anglo-Saxon work, now first
edited from the original MS. in the Bodleian Library. The attention of the
readers of "N. & Q.," who are occupied in the study of the Anglo-Saxon,
with its cognate dialects, and direct descendant, will be doubly attracted
by a title with which they are so familiar, and which is associated with
some of the happiest and most peaceful moments of their life. The title of
the Essay (which I have not yet seen, and which appears to be written in
English) seems to be entirely the choice of the author, and must be
somewhat flattering to the Editor of the original "N. & Q."
