Hist. MSS. Comm. The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts owned by Institutions and Private Families was appointed in 1869. Its first Report appeared in 1874, and there have since been issued 16 more, with a large number of volumes of prints from manuscripts, their prefaces giving descriptions of the codices examined by the Commissioners. A number of Chaucer MSS receive brief mention in these Reports, the Campsall MS of the Troilus, two Longleat MSS, the Ashburnham codices now owned as on p. 193 ff. here. As the main purpose of the Commission is historical, general literature receives but slight attention. See Appendix B to Gross' Sources and Literature of English History, N. Y. 1900.

Ed. Pard. Tale. The Pardoner's Prolog and Tale, a Critical Edition; see pp. 112, 169 here. The elaborate text-construction of this monograph is rendered useless by the editor's assumption that in any MS what is true of one Tale is true of the codex.

II, the Romance of the Rose, the Learning of Chaucer, the Relations of Chaucer to the English Language and to the Religion of his Time; vol. III, Chaucer in Literary History, Chaucer as a Literary Artist. For reviews see Acad. 1892 I: 173 (Pollard); Amer. Jour. Phil. 19:439-445 (Garnett); Athen. 1892 I .462; Atlantic Monthly 69: 554; Dial 12:351 (Emerson); Mod. Lang. Notes 7: 164 (McClumpha); Nation 1892 I:214, 231 (Kittredge); Public Opinion 12:415; Sat. Review 73: 185.

Lounsbury's work has very great merits, and a few minor faults. His theory regarding the Romaunt is accepted by no other scholar; some of his remarks on pronunciation, etc., are combated by Skeat, VI :1 ff.; the treatment of the eight monographs contained in the book as distinct pieces of work occasions some repetition, which is furthered by a diffuse style; and the absence of bibliographical references is regrettable. But the mass of information brought together and presented in a form interesting and stimulating to both student and general reader renders the work of permanent value. The second chapter, on the ChaucerLegend, and the last two of the work, might be singled out as especially important.

Lowndes. The Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature, containing an Account of Rare, Curious, and Useful Books published in or relating to Great Britain and Ireland, from the Invention of Printing; with Bibliographical and Critical Notices, Collations of the rarer Articles, and the Prices at which they have been sold. By William Thomas Lowndes.

As will be seen from the dates, this work extends no further than 1864. It is full of errors and insufficiencies, but no other compilation has yet taken its place.

Macaulay. Works of John Gower, Oxford 1899, 4 vols. Reviewed Archiv 105 : 390, 110: 197 (Toulmin Smith); Engl. Stud. 32:251 (Spies); Amer. Jour. Phil. 24 (Hamilton); Quart. Rev. 1903, PP. 437-458 (Ker), repubd. in Ker's Essays on Medieval Literature.

In the Acad. 1895 I: 315, see ibid. II :71, 91, Macaulay announced his discovery of the supposedly lost poem by Gower, the Speculum Meditantis.

From July 1900 (Vol. III, No. 1) the journal is again entitled Modern Language Quarterly; it ceased in 1904, and was succeeded in 1906 by the Modern Language Review, as above.
