Description

It is a notes book. In Roger de Hoveden's account of the accident which proved fatal to Leopold, Duke of Austria, the jailer of Richard I. (Bohn's edit. , vol. ii. ), St. Stephen's Day, on which it occurred, is twice stated to be before Christmas Day, instead of after it. Is this an error of the author, or of translator? or are they right, and was St. Stephen's martyrdom in those times commemorated on a different day from what it now is? I cannot find, on reference to the authorities within my reach, that this last was the case. Mr. Riley does not notice the discrepancy at all.
