"There is much, certainly, in these sermons, to attract and reward attention. The subject precludes novelty in their essence, nor does there seem much attempt at originality in their method and style of treatment. But the sermons are manly and earnest in their resolution to look the truth in the face, and to enforce it against a prejudiced resistance, of which the writer evidently knows but too much; and they show, moreover, a true conception of the tone by which that resistance is to be met.... The more valuable part, after all, of Mr. Trevor's present volume is, the set of Sermons on 'The Seven Words,' because they are practical, and are raised by their solemn theme high above the limits of controversy, which, necessary as it is, is yet the earthly part of theology."--_Scottish Episcopal Journal._ GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street. * * * * * SPECIMENS OF TILE PAVEMENTS. DRAWN FROM EXISTING AUTHORITIES BY HENRY SHAW, F.S.A. Although some few examples of the original designs, and many separate patterns taken from the scattered remains of these most interesting Pavements, are figured in divers Architectural and Archæological Publications; it is presumed, that if a series of specimens of the many varieties of general arrangement to be found in those still existing, together with a selection of the particular Tiles of each period, the most remarkable for the elegance and beauty of the foliage and other devices impressed upon them, were classed chronologically, and brought within the compass of a single volume, it would prove highly valuable as a work of reference; not only to architects, but to to all who are engaged in furnishing designs for any kind of material where symmetrical arrangements or tasteful diaperings are required. The present work is intended to supply such a desideratum. It will be completed in Ten Monthly Parts. Each Part to contain Five Plates, royal 4to. printed in Colours. Price 5s. A Preface and Description of the various Pavements will be given with the last Number. No. I. was published on the 1st of May, 1852. * * * * * Works by Mr. Shaw.
