“The best antiquarian handbook we have ever met with—­so clear is the arrangement, and so well and so plainly is each subject illustrated by well-executed engravings....  It is the joint production of two men who have already distinguished themselves as authors and antiquarians.”—­Morning Herald.

“A book of remarkable interest and ability....  Mr. Worsaae’s book is in all ways a valuable addition to our literature....  Mr. Thoms has executed the translation in flowing and idiomatic English, and has appended many curious and interesting notes and observations of his own.”—­Guardian.

“The work, which we desire to commend to the attention of our readers, is signally interesting to the British antiquary.  Highly interesting and important work.”—­Archaeological Journal.

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 judgement 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.
