Each work will be sold separately; but, as the Publishers expect that
they will be enabled to extend the series until it shall approximate
to a complete collection of the Greek and Latin Classics, and as they
have reason to think that such a collection would be found an
acceptable addition to all public and private Libraries, they
hope to receive the names of persons who are willing to give
encouragement to the scheme, as Subscribers to the entire Series.

THE JUDGES OF ENGLAND; from the time of the Conquest
By EDWARD FOSS, F.S.A.
"It supplies what was much wanted--a regular and progressive
account of English legal institutions. The result is, a correction
of many errors, an addition of much new information, and a better
general view of our strictly legal history than any other jurist,
historian, or biographer, had heretofore attempted to
give."--_Examiner_
LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, and LONGMANS.

A CHROMO-LITHOGRAPHIC DRAWING OF THE PAINTED CEILING IN THE NAVE OF
PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL, coloured as in the original, by G. STRICKLAND.
This curious relic of Ecclesiastical Decoration of The Twelfth Century
is considered to be the finest specimen of its character and period in
Great Britain; it is in a high state of preservation and no
representation of it exists. The Drawing is six feet long, and its
details all bear the same relative proportions as the original.

A CHART OF ANCIENT ARMOUR FROM THE ELEVENTH TO THE SEVENTEENTH
CENTURIES: containing Eighteen Figures, with a Description and a Sketch
of the Progress of European Armour. By JOHN HEWITT.
"A graphic outline of the subject of military costume during the
period of its greatest interest to the English antiquary. The author
has made a judicious selection of examples, chiefly from the rich
series of monumental effigies; and, in the brief text which
accompanies these illustrations, a useful résumé will be found of a
subject which, not many years since, was attainable only through
the medium of costly publications"--_Archaeological Journal._
