"Outlines of the History of Printing, and Sketches of the Early Printers," 1839. "Historical Series," 10 vols. Mr. Munsell also published the Unionist; the Albany Daily State Register; Albany Morning Express; and Albany Statesman. He contributed papers to the " Transactions of the Albany Institute," on subjects connected with American history; and formed a fine collection of books on printing, which were mostly purchased by the New York State Library. He was an ardent lover of his art, and very many of the works he produced will rank with those of the masters in Typography. SIGUROSSON.-Jón Sigurdsson, President of the Icelandic Literary Society (Bókmentafélag), died at Copenhagen, December 7. Born at the parsonage of Rafnseyri, in Northwestern Iceland, June 17, 1811, he took his degree at the University of Copenhagen in 1834, and resided in that city the greater part of his life. He was well known to OldNorthern scholars as the author or editor of many Icelandic works, among which his "Diplomatarium Islandicum " holds a conspicuous place. As one of the Arna-Magnæan stipendiaries, as Icelandic Archivarius in Copenhagen, and as Librarian of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, he was always ready to render any services to foreign scholars, many of whose works bear witness to his generosity in this respect. To his countrymen he was best known perhaps, as the man who, after a protracted political struggle, succeeded in obtaining for them the right of self-government. He was during several sessions Speaker of the Icelandic Althing, both before and after his persistent exertions acquired for that body a legislative character. At his funeral in Copenhagen, December 13, his countrymen residing in the Danish capital placed upon his coffin a silver wreath, bearing the inscription: "Iceland's favourite son, her pride, her sword, her shield." His body, as well as that of his wife, who died three days subsequent to his funeral, is to be carried to his native country and interred at the nation's expense. His extensive library-the best collection of books relating to Iceland ever brought together, and including many MSS. was bought a few years ago for 25,000 crowns by order of the Althing, and now goes to Reykjavík to be incorporated with the National Library (Stiptisbókasafn) of Iceland. WHITE.-Henry White, who died on the 3rd of January, was born at Reading, and was educated at the Grammar School in that town while Dr. Valpy was head master. On entering into active life, he applied himself for some years to private teaching, and keeping school, during part of the time, in France. Subsequently he prepared pupils for examination, wrote for the periodical press, and compiled a few educational books, of which the best known is "Elements of Universal History," published in 1847 by Oliver and Boyd. He translated into English D'Aubigné's History of the Reformation; and wrote a history of "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew " (John Murray, 1868), a careful piece of work, as was acknowledged at the time, especially in an elaborate review by Alfred Maury in the Journal des Savants. In 1858 Henry White was engaged by the Royal Society to superintend the compilation of the now well-known "Catalogue of Scientific Papers," in which it was intended to print, under the authors' names, the titles of all scientific papers published in Transactions and other Periodicals in all parts of the world, from the beginning of the present century. Of this important work eight thick quarto volumes have been published; and the decade 1874-1883 was in hand at the time of the compiler's death. NEW AMERICAN BOOKS AND Adams (Rev. J.
