"It is something more than a drawing-room ornament. It is an elaborate and careful summary of all that one of our most learned antiquaries, after years of pleasant labour on a very pleasant subject, has been able to learn as to the condition of women from the earliest times. It is beautifully illustrated, both in colours--mainly from ancient illuminations--and also by a profusion of woodcuts, portraying the various fashions by which successive ages of our history have been marked."--_The Times._ _In one handsome Volume, Super-royal Quarto, cloth gilt, price 21s._ RURAL CHURCHES THEIR HISTORIES; ARCHITECTURE, AND ANTIQUITIES.

HOME INFLUENCE.--"To those who really knew Grace Aguilar, all eulogium falls short of her deserts, and she has left a blank in her particular walk of literature, which we never expect to see filled up."--_Pilgrimages to English Shrines, by Mrs S. C. Hall._ MOTHER'S RECOMPENSE.--"'The Mother's Recompense' forms a fitting close to its predecessor, 'Home Influence.' The results of maternal care are fully developed, its rich rewards are set forth, and its lesson and its moral are powerfully enforced."--_Morning Post._
