"Castelfranco is of course Giorgione: Giorgio Barbarelli, "born in the year 1478, at Castelfranco, in the territory of Treviso, and . . . at a later period called Giorgione [big George], as well from the character of his person as for the exaltation of his mind."

Sec. :-W. A. DALZIEL, Esq., 67, Victoria Road, Finsbury Park, N. To do honour to CHAUCER, and to let the lovers and students of him see how far the best unprinted Manuscripts of his works differd from the printed texts, this Society was founded in 1868. The founder (Mr. Furnivall) began with The Canterbury Tales, and has given of them (in parallel columns in Royal 4to) six of the best theretofore unprinted Manuscripts known. Inasmuch as the parallel arrangement necessitated the alteration of the places of certain tales in some of the MSS., a print of each MS. has been issued separately, following the order of its original. The first six MSS. printed have been: the Ellesmere (by leave of the Earl of Ellesmere); the Hengwrt (by leave of W. W. E. Wynne, Esq.); the Camb. Univ. Libr., MS. Gg. 4.27; the Corpus, Oxford; the Petworth (by leave of Lord Leconfield); and the Lansdowne 851 (Brit. Mus.). The Harleian 3374 will follow. Of Chaucer's Minor Poems,-the MSS. of which are generally later than the best MSS. of the Canterbury Tales,-all the available MSS. have been printed, so as to secure all the existing evidence for the true text. Of Chaucer's Troilus, a Parallel-Text of the 3 best MSS. has been issued, and a 4th text set opposite its englisht original, Boccaccio's Filostrato, is all in type. The Bocce from the best MS. is now in type too, Mr. F. J. Furnivall has read and will read all the texts with their MSS. Autotypes of all the best Chaucer MSS. either have been or will be publisht. The Society's publications are issued in two Series, of which the first contains the texts of Chaucer's works; and the Second, such originals of and essays on these as can be procured, with other illustrative treatises, and Supplementary Tales. Messrs. Trübner & Co., of 57 & 59, Ludgate Hill, London, E. C., are the Society's publishers, Messrs. Clay and Taylor of Bungay its printers, and the Alliance Bank, Bartholomew Lane, London, E.C., its bankers. The yearly subscription is two guineas, due on every 1st January, beginning with Jan. 1, 1868. More Members are iranted. All the Society's Publications can still be had.

The Early English Text Society was started by Mr. Furnivall in 1864, for the purpose of bringing the mass of Old English Literature within the reach of the ordinary student, and of wiping away the reproach under which England had long rested, of having felt little interest in the monuments of her early life and language.
