This may be considered quite a new work from the author’s former Dictionary; it has been entirely remodelled and enlarged, bringing it down to the present state of Anglo-Saxon literature, both at home and abroad.

HOLBEIN’S DANCE of DEATH; with an Historical and Literary Introduction by an Antiquary.  Square post 8vo., with 54 Engravings, being the most accurate copies ever executed of these gems of art, and a Frontispiece of an Ancient Bedstead at Aix-la-Chapelle, with a Dance of Death carved on it, engraved by Fairholt, cloth, 9s.

“The designs are executed with a spirit and fidelity quite extraordinary.  They are indeed most truthful.”—­Athenaeum.

ENGLISH SURNAMES:  an Essay on Family Nomenclature, Historical, Etymological, and Humorous.  By MARK ANTONY-LOWER, M.A.  Third Edition, enlarged, 2 vols. post 8v., cloth, 12s.

This new and much improved edition, besides a great enlargement of the chapters contained in the previous editions, comprises several that are entirely new, together with Notes on Scottish, Irish, and Norman Surnames.  The “Additional Prolusions,” besides the articles on Rebuses, Allusive Arms, and the Roll of Battel Abbey, contain Dissertations on Inn Signs, and Remarks on Christian Names; with a copious Index of many thousand names.  These features render “English Surnames” rather a new work than a new edition.

THE CURIOSITIES of HERALDRY; with Illustrations from Old English Writers.  By MARK ANTONY LOWER.  With illuminated Title-page and numerous Engravings from Designs by the Author. 8vo., cloth, 14s.

HERALD’S VISITATIONS.—­An Index to all the Pedigrees and Arms in the Heraldic Visitations and other Genealogical MSS. in the British Museum.  By G. SIMS, of the Manuscript Department. 8vo., closely printed in double columns, cloth, 15s.

An indispensable book to those engaged in genealogical or topographical pursuits, affording a ready clue to the pedigrees and arms of above 30,000 of the gentry of England, their residences, &c. (distinguishing the different families of the same name in every county), as recorded by the Heralds in their Visitations, with Indexes to other genealogical MSS. in the British Museum.  It has been the work of immense labour.  No public library ought to be without it.

GUIDE to ARCHAEOLOGY Archaeological Index to Remains of Antiquity of the Celtic, Romano-British, and Anglo-Saxon Periods.  By JOHN YONGE AKERMAN, Fellow and Secretary to the Society of Antiquaries. 1 vol. 8vo., illustrated with numerous Engravings, comprising upwards of 500 objects. 15s., cloth.

“One of the first wants of an incipient antiquary is the facility of comparison, and here it is furnished him at one glance.  The places, indeed, form the most valuable part of the book, both by their number and the judicious selection of types and examples which they contain.  It is a book which we can, on this account, safely and warmly recommend to all who are interested in the antiquities of their native land.”—­Literary Gazette.
