Oxford.
[We have received, with something like a sense of neglected duty, this
notice of _The Ormulum, now first edited from the Original Manuscript
in the Bodleian; with Notes and a Glossary by Robert Meadows White,
D.D., late Fellow of St. Mary Magdalene College, and formerly Professor
of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Oxford_, 2 vols. 8vo. The fact is,
we have long intended to call attention to this book, alike creditable
to the scholastic acquirements of Dr. White, and to the authorities of
the Oxford press; but have from week to week postponed doing so, that
we might enter at some length into the history of _The Ormulum_, and a
notice of the labour of its editor. In the mean time Dr. White's
labours have received from foreign scholars that recognition which his
countrymen have been too tardy in offering.--ED. "N. & Q."]
