LIVES OF TEE QUEENS OF ENGLAND. BY AGNES
STRICKLAND. VOL. X.—ln this new volume, as in all the
previous volumes, we are struck with the very
great labour
which Miss Strickland has expended in its preparat is the
tion.
is no compilation from second-hand authorities, bu
result of a careful reference to original manuscripts and other
authorities never before consulted for a similar purpose. The
present volume continues and concludes the Life of Mary
Beatrice, and also contains a Memoir of Mary, daughter of
James IL Both the biographies are written with much care,
and are quite as attractive as any of those contained in the
preceding volumes. In the career of both these Queens there
was much of a very eventful nature, and Miss Strickland
has worked up the new materials which she has collected in
that fascinating manner which gives so great a charm to the
work. The " Lives of the Queens of England" will, when
completed, form one of the most valuable biographical works
in the English language.—Observer.
THE LATE MR. FITZGERALD, M.P.—This gentle-
man, who has just fallen a victim to the epidemic 'which has
lately made such ravages in various districts in Ireland, was
descended from a younger branch of the Leinster family, and
possessed considerable property, both in the counties of
Tipperary and Cork. He was a native of the town of Clon-
mel, and bad but entered his forty-first year. In 1836 he
married the Signora Donna Emilia, the daughter of Signor
D. Frizoni, of Lisbon. By religion Mr. Fitzgerald wis
of
a
Roman Catholic; and, in point of politics, he was a disciple
the late Mr. O'Connell. It is rather a curious circumstance
that, scarped a tha two days previous to his demise,
the deceased gentleman n issued an address to the electors of
Tipperary, zanou.ncing his retirement from Parliamentary
me. This is .the third vacancy that has been occasioned by
death in tht representation of the county of Tipperary
since the ginera:l elect f 1841,

having died in 1840.. and the Honourable Otway Cave in the
following year. ,
