as authors and antiquarians.  It is a book of which it may be said, that in every sentence is to be found an interesting fact, and that every page teems with instruction, and may be regarded as a sure guide to all antiquarians in their future archaeological inquiries.”—­Morning Herald.

THE JUDGES OF ENGLAND; from the TIME of the CONQUEST. By EDWARD FOSS, F.S.A.

“A work in which a subject of great historical importance is treated with the care, diligence, and learning it deserves; in which Mr. Foss has brought to light many points previously unknown, corrected many errors, and shown such ample knowledge of his subject as to conduct it successfully through all the intricacies of a difficult investigation, and such taste and judgment as will enable him to quit, when occasion requires, the dry details of a professional inquiry, and to impart to his work, as he proceeds, the grace and dignity of a philosophical history.”—­Gent.  Mag.

PINACOTHECAE HISTORICAE SPECIMEN; sive Illustrium Quorundam Ingenia, Mores, Fortunae, ad Inscriptionum formam Expressae.  Auctore F. KILVERT, A.M.  Pars Secunda.

“The production of an English clergyman, and bears unequivocal marks of refined taste, elegant scholarship, and a liberal, generous, and candid mind.  The idea—­to us a novel one—­carried out in this work is, to bring up for judgment (as the Egyptians used to do with their departed kings) the characters that figure most in the page of history, and to pass sentence upon them.  Summoning them, as it were, into his presence with the lamp of history to guide him, exquiritque auditque dolos; and whether it be praise or blame, or a mixture of both, that he awards, the judgment is pronounced in a temperate spirit, and with judicial impartiality; and it is expressed in pure and elegant Latin, and often with epigrammatic felicity.”—­Scotsman.

THE ENGLISH GENTLEMAN:  his Principles, his Feelings, his Manners, his Pursuits.

    “We like him so well as to wish heartily we might meet many
    such.”—­Theologian.

“The object of the first of the four essays is to form the principles of a gentleman on a Christian standard.  In the other three subjects, of feelings, manners, and pursuits, the views, though strict, are of a more worldly kind.”—­Spectator.
