Minor Notes.

_Vallancey's Green Book._--Perhaps your readers are not aware of the

existence of the curious and interesting volume mentioned in the following

cutting from Jones's last _Catalogue_ (D'Olier St. Dublin). It may

therefore be worth making a note of in your columns:

"1008. Vallancey's Green Book, _manuscript, folio_.

*** Vallancey's Green Book, so named from being bound in green vellum,

was the volume in which the celebrated Irish antiquary, General Charles

Vallancey, entered the titles of all the manuscripts and printed works

relative to Ireland which he had occasion to consult in his antiquarian

researches. The copy now offered for sale is believed to be the only

one extant. Bound in the same volume is a collection of the titles of

all the manuscripts relating to Ireland, which are preserved in the

Archbishop of Canterbury's library, at Lambeth, London."
