The various works and sources of information above mentioned will be found to lead on to many others, so that it will not be difficult for those who wish it, and can afford the time, to enter fully into the highly interesting and curious history of the North--a subject which once entered upon is not easy to quit. The literature of Scandinavia is considerable: although that of Denmark and of Norway is less known, distinctively, in this country, than the Swedish portion; partly, no doubt, because the semi-barbarous Gothic character is still much used instead of the clearer Roman type. English literature is much liked in Norway, and they have translations of Scott, Bulwer, Laing, Washington Irving, and some others. I am very anxious to obtain information on the unanswered points referred to at page 370. WILLIAM E.C. NOURSE. _Postscriptum._--In enumerating recent works on Iceland and the North, I omitted to mention Dillon's _Winter in Iceland and Lapland_, 2 volumes, London, 1840 an excellent work not sufficiently known. The trading vessels to Iceland are exceedingly rough and dirty. The Dart, Madeira packet, a fine brig of 350 tons, will probably go thither this summer with passengers. W. E. C. N. HUGH HOLLAND AND HIS WORKS. (Vol. iii., p. 427.) MR. BOLTON CORNEY having favoured your readers with "a notice of some of the statements" contained in my article above-named, I deem it a duty incumbent upon myself to make a few remarks upon these "notices," which I shall do in the briefest manner possible. The object of my paper was to call attention to a forgotten poet, and to endeavour to obtain some information regarding the locality of his manuscripts. Had I been writing the life of Hugh Holland, I should, of course, have investigated the dates of his biography and works more fully than it was necessary to do for a trifling article like that in question. But, as it is, the facts and dates which I have given are all derived from creditable and well-known sources and all the facts and dates in question are the _facts and dates_ of older writers than myself, as will appear by the following. 1. "He was born at Denbigh in 1558." He was born at Denbigh, but not in 1558. In 1625 he thus expressed himself: "Why was the fatall spinster so vnthrifty? To draw my third four yeares to tell and fifty!" _Answer._ Where are these lines taken from, and what do they mean? What is the proof that they relate to _Hugh Holland_? "Hugh Holland, an esquire's son of Denbighshire," was matriculated at Baliol College, Oxford, anno 1582, aged twenty-four. My authority is Wood's _Athenæ_, edit. Bliss, vol. ii. p. 560. 2. He did not quit Westminster school till 1589. If ever he pursued his studies at Baliol College, it was some ten years afterwards.
