“Mr. Bryan’s history is an excellent record of the rise and progress of
the Matlocks up to the present time, and for many years to come local
people will regard it as the standard work for consultation on all
questions arising out of local customs, local government, local
institutions, local events, and prominent local people.”—_Derby
Mercury._

=THE FRENCH STONEHENGE.=
An Account of the Principal Megalithic Remains in the Morbihan
Archipelago. By T. CATO WORSFOLD, F.R.HIST.S., F.R.S.L., Member of the
Council of the British Archæological Association; Author of “Staple
Inn,” “Antwerp, Past and Present,” “Porta Nigra, the Treasure of
Treves,” &c. Second Edition. =With numerous additions and
Illustrations.= Size 9 in. by 6 in., cloth, price =5/-=.
“Mr. Worsfold has compressed into a small space a great amount of
interesting detail with regard not only to the megalithic and other
stone monuments, but also to the Roman and early Mediæval remains in the
district he has sought to illustrate. His style is easy and attractive,
and his little work may induce visitors to France, who are interested in
objects of remote antiquity, to take the opportunity of seeing a part of
the country which abounds with them.”—_Athenæum._
