A rOITTBSIVOILARY, in the course of some curious
and interesting researches into the pedagogic
literature of the 19th century, has disinterred and
brought to light a remarkable volume, bearing the
title of " English History for Children, by the
" Rev. J. M. Nsaza, M.A., Warden of Sack-
" vine College, East Grinstead." The work has
been for twenty years before the public, yet it
would be too much to assume that any consider-
able proportion of our readers are familiar even
with its name. It is, however, by no means
dead. It has enjoyed during that time such life
LS the fostering care of the National Society and
the sanction of the Committee of Council on Educa-
tion have been able to give it. It has circulated
among clergymen of " high " views, among national
schoolmasters, pupil teachers, perhaps also parish
clerks and other persons of semi-ecclesiastical posi-
tion and ultra-ecclesiastical pretensions. It has
been for nearly a quarter of a century the chosen
mental food of thousands and tens of thousands
of children ; thesource whence, under the cognizance
of the Government, they have drawn their first
impressions of the history of their country, its
constitution and traditions, and their own duties
and obligations as subjects and citizens. It has
directed their admiration and reverence, or their
disapproval and contempt, to the great cha-
racters who form the glory or the
shame of England. Viewed in this light,
it possesses an importance other than
that intrinsically belonging to it. If FLETCHER
of Saltoun lived now, he would hold that to
write the school books of a nation was a more
vital thing than to make its ballads. The Rev.
d. M. NEALE has applied himself to both tasks.
His name and works are not, perhaps, current in
the mouths of mere men of letters or of the world,
but they occupy half a column of " Crockford'a
" Clerical Directory." From that invaluable
hand-book to fame we learn that Mr. J. M. NEALE
is the author, besides a score or two of miscel-
laneous trifles, of " Mediaeval Hymns," " Lays
" and Legends of the English Church," and other
poetic works. He is at once the laureate and the
historiographer, the schoolmaster and bard, of the
extreme sacerdotal party in the Church of Eng-
land. Nearly a quarter of a century ago the
Ediaturylt Review stepped aside from a graver
controversy with more considerable men to bestow
a moment's notice on these sacred effusions. "In
" the ' Ballads' of such men as Mr. NEALE, a
" Pindar worthy of Tmetarianism, we find (it said)
" a bigotry of which contempt itself could say
" nothing more bitter than that it is in perfect
" harmony with the doggerel which embodies it."
The article, with its extracts, which we quoted
yesterday from the Pall Mall Gazette, will pro-
bably lead our readers to the conclusion that Mr.
Nam.s the historian is in every way worthy of
Mr. NasLE the poet.
It would be absurd to spend argument or re-
monstrances on Mr. NEALE. There is, perhaps,
no historical absurdity which some one may not
honestly believe. If Mr. NEALE wrote for full-
grown men, and supported his conclusions by
arguments laid bare to criticism, he would take
his place in the harmless ranks of paradox-
mongers. He would be refuted and forgotten,
and there would be an end of him ; but when,
writing for children who are absolutely at the
mercy of his candour, he places before them asser-
tions the most doubtful as universally-admitted
facts, when he blasphemes great reputations and
throws contempt on principles cherished by
nearly all Englishmen, he earns a different
treatment. The Warden of Sackville College,
East Grinstead, teaches that " all authority
" in civil matters conies directly from the
" QUEEN, and through her from GOD." If Mr.
NEALE is really aware of the parliamentary
tenure by which the QUEEN herself holds her
throne, ho is not only falsifying history in this
monstrous teaching, but preaching disloyalty to
the constitution of which the monarchy forms but
a part. The fanaticism which rejoices in the
early death of -Prince HENRY, the eldest son of
King J Ansa 1., "because he was a Puri-
" tan at heart," differs nothing in spirit
from the temper which sharpened the daggers of
CLEMENT and RAVAILLAC. It is neither more nor
lees than retrospective assassination. When
Mr. NEALE finds in the author of " Para-
" disc Lost " a proof that GOD does not
always bestow his choicest gifts on good men,
since MILTON wrote in defence of the murder
Of CHARLES the Mama, we can only pity
the insensibility to moral and intellectual great-
ness which the judgment evinces. All this is Mr.
NEALE'S loss. The bigotry which can see nothing
excellent or admirable in the Puritan and Repub-
lican poet, must equally fail to admire what is
truly deserving of regard in the Anglicans Jaunty
Tavioa and Kay, or the Catholics PASCAL,
FENELON, and MABSILLON. In one case the re-
pulsion, in the other the attraction, of sectarian
and party feeling is operated on ; and this is all.
One of the newspaper organs of the Church party
to which Mr. NEAL► belongs lately denied in rude
terms the claims of CRAMMER, LATIMER, and RID-
LEY to the crown of martyrdom. Certainly they
did not belong to any holy company of
which CHARLES I. MIS a member. But CHARLES
the MARTYR has vanished from the Book of
Common Prayer. How is it he manages to
retain his place in Mr. Nrazz's devout comme-
moration 1 It is refreshing to turn from these

Ir is a disputed point where a parent's rights
over his child begin and end. It is with
reference to education that the question is oftenest
raised. Some persons think that a father
who chooses to bring up his child in utter
ignorance should be permitted to do so ; while
others maintain that the interest society has in
the youngest of its members entitles it to inter-
fere and take means to have the child educated.
When the question is one of physical neglect or
cruelty, we see our way more clearly. We un-
hesitatingly punish a man for starving, or exces-
sively beating his child. Sometimes we get a
more complicated case, where a well-meaning father
kills his child by his own presumptuous folly, and
then we are in doubt again. Of this kind seems
to be the Bethnal-green case, brought under the
notice of Mr. RICKARDS, the Coroner, on Satur-
day. A shoemaker had a boy, two years of age,
who fell ill of inflammation of the lungs. The
man would not call in a doctor ; he had by him a
" Family Medical Adviser," and would " treat "
the child himself. He seems to have imagined
that the child had the measles, and administered
medicines accordingly. The mother deposed :
"On Tuesday the child screamed violently. Its
" cries were frightful—l could not bear to listen
" to them, and while the child was dying I ran
" from the room." The father's confidence in his
own wisdom sustained him in these trying circum-
stances, and he persisted in refusing medical
aid, which probably would have been by that
time of no avail. It is well to be assured
by his wife that he idolised the child.
The jury, while severely blaming the foolish fellow
in their verdict, did not recognise any criminality in
his conduct. The parental character was appa-
rently made to cover an act which certainly would
have placed an unqualified person practising medi-
cine for gain in great peril. Before the court the
man justified himself, as he imagined, by alleging
the directions of the book. " I cannot criminate
" myself, for I acted according to the book. I
" put it in evidence. I did everything that the
" book told me to do." The fact being that
whatever the book might tell him about measles
it could tell him nothing about his child and what
was good for it. The father's good faith saved
him, but it is not universally safe to rely on good
intentions when doing that which may lead to loss
of life.

The Pope, although be abstained from visiting the
church of San Carlo* in state on Monday morning,
did not remain in the seclusion of the Vatican
in the afternoon, but drove about the city, encounter-
ing several ambulance waggons, and other vehicles
conveying wounded soldiers and Garibaldians to
the various hospitals, which bad to pull up and
wait until the tort,:ge and escort of his Holiness
passed by. It is difficult to speculate on the senti-
ments with which the poor sufferers of both parties
must have contemplated the rich equipage of the Supreme
Pontiff. At noon yesterday the new Spanish ambassador,
Don Alexander de Castro, had an audience of his Holi-
ness, and presented his credentials. I saw him on
his return, with all his diplomatic staff in
Ash uniforms, occupying three state carriages,
passing the Piazza Borghese precisely when eight or nine
ambulance waggons and omnibuses full of wounded com-
batants were proceeding towards Santo Spirit*. The
diplomatists looked out of their carriage windows rather
startled at such • sanguinary spectacle in the capital of
Christianity.

Observing that Garibaldi was defeated, as the world can
now see, by French troops armed with the deadly Chasse-
pot rifle, the Daily Noes says no one can deny the badly
armed and badly fed youths who followed Garibaldi the
praise of valour. They beat the Pontifical troops until the
latter were joined by the French, and then for several
hours made head against the first soldiers in the world,
armed with the most effective weapon which modern
science has produced. Their reputation is henceforth safe.
If the Italians are wise they will now leave the French go.

The Herald and Standard treat the conservative dinner
at the Crystal Palace yesterday as a significant demonstra-
tion of working class opinion. The Herald is delighted
that most of the men who were present were " fresh from
the workshop and rough-handed with toil." Who now, it
uks, an venture to deny the existence of the conservative
working man' The Standard adds that the conference of
delegates which is to be opened to-day at Freemasons Hall
will give a permanent force to the alliance symbolised in
yesterday's dinner. The Telegraph, however, takes quite
a different view of yesterday's celebration, and declares
that the working man, whose hard daily work and anxious
life ia an urgent problem, had no more to do with the
dinner than the walrus at the Zoological Gardens hod
with " the Revolutionary Epick."

FRANCE AND ITALY.
PARIS. Nov. 12.

The Moniteur publishes the following :
" The government of the Emperor has learnt
with the most lively satisfaction the spontaneous
resolution by which the royal troops were recalled to
Italian territory. By a special despatch our repre-
sentative in Italy is instructed to express to the
cabinet of Florence how fully our govern-
ment appreciates the sentiment of concilia-
tion and the soundness of the views which
have dictated this determination. The pa-
triotic efforts of the Italian government to re-
establish order and security throughout the
Peninsula, and its respect for treaties, inspire the
French government with the greatest confidence,
and give it the conviction that the friendly rela-
tions between France and Italy will continue to be
strengthened and developed. The Emperor has
decided that the French expeditionary corps shall
evacuate Rome and the other towns of the Pon-
tifical States which it now occupies as soon as
order shall have been assured there. The French
troops will gradually concentrate upon Civita
Veochia."

CABINET COUNClL.—Summonses were issued yes-
terday afternoon for a Cabinet Council this after-
noon at the Earl of Derby's private residence in
St. James's-square.
The Geographical Club held their first dinner
this season yesterday evening, at Willis's Rooms, King-
street, St. James's. A large party assembled. Sir Roderick
Murchison, the president, took the chair ; and among the
party were—the Portuguese Minister, Sir Bartle Frere,
E.C.8., Earl of Sheffield, Lord Houghton, Count Strzelecki,
Sir A. S. Waugh, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Sir IL Rawlinson,
M.P., Colonel Sykes, M.P., Admiral Sir William Hall,
Major-General Balfour, Captain Forbes, Colonel Shadwell
Sir Erskine Perry, Captain W. P. Eardley Wilmot, Captain
S. Osborn, Captain Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, Hun. G.

The year 1866 was one of unexampled liberality
