* * * * * MISCELLANEOUS. NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. It is long since the students of English Archæology received a more welcome or valuable addition to their libraries than the recently published _Antiquities of Richborough, Reculver, and Lymne, in Kent_, by Charles Roach Smith, F.S.A., _illustrated by_ F.W. Fairholt, F.S.A. Originally intended to have been a volume confined to Richborough, of which the well-known collections of Mr. Rolfe were to form the basis, it has been wisely extended to Reculver and Lymne, and now forms, both in its literary and pictorial illustrations of those highly interesting localities, a most valuable and instructlve Memorial. Messrs. Sotheby and Co. (3. Wellington Street, Strand) will sell on Wednesday, the 21st, and following Day, a rare interesting and valuable collection of Works, chiefly relating to the History of America, including an early edition of the Celebrated Letter of Columbus, some curious Books relating to the Quakers and Brownists, &c. We have received the following Catalogue:--John Petheram's (94. High Holborn) Catalogue (Part CXIV., No. 8. for 1850) of Old and New Books. * * * * * BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES _WANTED TO PURCHASE._ ACTIO IN HENRICUM GARNETUM, &c. London, 1607.
