Lee's Glossary-continued.

pages, profusely illustrated by woodcuts from rare or unique examples, and, not only for reference, but even for reading, will be found a most valuable and interesting work."-Birmingham Gazette. This very valuable and elaborate Glossary is a monument of its author's patient research and rious zeal. In all its elaborate chronicle of ancient terms and usages, it bears evidence in every page, and every line of every page, of the unity of Church practices in all times."

Weekly Register and Catholic Standard, October 28, 1876.

"The Glossary is, as a work of reference ought to be, firmly and substantially, though not expensively, bound; it opens well and its type has an ample margin. We can honestly affirm it to be a very useful kind of book in its way. It really contains a great deal of miscellaneous information of an odd kind which is worth possessing; it explains a large number of out-of-the-way ecclesiastical terms, any one of which the ordinary reader may chance to stumble upon, and to be thereby greatly mystified; while in many instances it supplies the true meaning of words in popular use, where the popular use is either ignorant or blundering. As an illustration under the last head may be quoted a group of names of wild flowers on pp. 178-9, all bearing, like the lovely Cardamine pratensis, the prefix of "lady's" to their English name, and all evidencing the loving reverence which once dedicated to the Blessed Virgin the brightest and most beautiful adornments of English rural life.

"It remains only to be added that the illustrations in the volume, which are numerous, and in many instances from the pencil of the author, are clearly and carefully drawn, and well engraved; and also that the ecclesiastical terms used in the Eastern Church have been collected and compared with the corresponding terms of the Western. The literary character of the work is that of which alone we profess to speak; and it may fairly be pronounced to be useful as a book of reference on subjects of increasing interest, and to supply in a commodious way information which is otherwise not easily accessible."-Saturday Review, November 18, 1876.

A beautiful and attractive work, containing etchings of a hundred objects of virtû: Arms, Jewels, Furniture, Crystals, Enamels, Porcelain, the work chiefly of great artists of the Renaissance, and exhibiting the highest form of Art as applied to things used in the ordinary transactions of life. They are chosen from different celebrated collections; and so far as the etcher's work is concerned, it has received eulogy from all sides, for the perfection with which it reproduces and seems to convey the most delicate lights and shades. Even the colourist's hand could hardly satisfy the eye and the perceptions more than these plain illustrations, in which any one with artistic feeling can almost discern the very hues and tints of the originals.

BERNARD QUARITCH'S CATALOGUE OF

LONDON.-Wilkinson's Londina Illustrata ; or Graphic and Historical Illustrations of the most Interesting and Curious Architectural Monuments of the City and Suburbs of London and Westminster, e.g., Monasteries, Churches, Charitable Foundations, Palaces, Halls, Courts, Processions, Places of early Amusements, Theatres, and old Houses (now mostly destroyed), 2 vols. impl. 4to. containing 207 copper-plate engravings, with Historical and Descriptive Letterpress, (pub. at £26. 5s) hf. bound morocco, uncut, top edges gilt, £5. 5s 1808-1825

This interesting and curious Antiquarian work cost the enterprising publisher more than twenty years of undeviating labour and many thousand pounds. Every rare old Print and Drawing, illustrative of London Topography, which he could discover, by the most active and diligent research, was made subservient to his purpose; and of many ancient buildings the Engravings contained in these volumes are now the only known records. What adds considerably to the value of the work, is that the letter-press gives extracts from Parish Registers and Munimental Documents not easily accessible elsewhere. An enumeration of a few of the plates will give some idea of the scope of the work.
