"The Subject of Al/ Verse." An Inquiry by Philip Sidney.
(H. Frowde. 25. net.)—Mr. Philip Sidney believes, but without being certain—and certainty, perhaps, is • scarcely attainable— that the famous epitaph on Lady Pembroke was written, not by Ben Jenson, to whom it is commonly attributed, but by William Browne. The thesis was put forth, we remember, not very long ago. Some particulars are added as to the personality of Lady Pembroke.
