CONSUETUDINES KANCIÆ. A History of GAVELKIND, and other remarkable
Customs in the County of KENT, by CHARLES SANDYS, Esq., F.S.A.
(Cantianus), illustrated with fac-similes, a very handsome volume,
8vo. cloth, 15_s._
FACTS AND SPECULATIONS ON THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF PLAYING CARDS.
By W. A. CHATTO, Author of "Jackson's History of Wood Engraving,"
in one handsome vol. 8vo. illustrated with many Engravings, both
plain and coloured, cloth, 1_l._ 1_s._
"It is exceedingly amusing."--_Atlas._
"A curious, entertaining, and really learned book."--_Rambler._
"Indeed the entire production deserves our warmest
approbation."--_Literary Gazette._
"A perfect fund of Antiquarian research, and most interesting even
to persons who never play at cards."--_Tait's Mag._
A DICTIONARY OF ARCHAIC AND PROVINCIAL WORDS, Obsolete Phrases,
Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, from the reign of Edward I. By
JAMES ORCHARD HALLIWELL, F.R.S., F.S.A., &c. 2 vols. 8vo.
containing upwards of 1,000 pages, closely printed in double
columns, cloth 1_l._ 1_s._
It contains above 50,000 Words (embodying all the known scattered
Glossaries of the English language), forming a complete key to the
reading of the works of our old Poets, Dramatists, Theologians,
and other authors, whose works abound with allusions, of which
explanations are not to be found in ordinary Dictionaries and
books of reference. Most of the principal Archaisms are
illustrated by examples selected from early inedited MSS. and rare
books, and by far the greater portion will be found to be original
authorities.
BRUCE'S (REV. J. C.) HISTORICAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL ACCOUNT OF THE
ROMAN WALL FROM THE TYNE TO THE SOLWAY. Thick 8vo. 35 plates and
194 woodcuts, half morocco, 1_l._ 1_s._
GUIDE TO ARCHÆOLOGY. An Archæological Index to Remains of
Antiquity of the Celtic, Romano-British, and Anglo-Saxon periods.
By JOHN YONGE AKERMAN, fellow and secretary to the Society of
Antiquaries. 1 vol. 8vo. illustrated with numerous engravings,
comprising upwards of 500 objects, cloth, 15_s._
"One of the first wants of an incipient antiquary is the facility
of comparison, and here it is furnished him at one glance. The
plates, indeed, form the most valuable part of the book, both by
their number and the judicious selection of types and examples
which they contain. It is a book which we can, on this account,
safely and warmly recommend to all who are interested in the
antiquities of their native land."--_Literary Gazette._
"A book of such utility--so concise, so clear, so well condensed
from such varied and voluminous sources--cannot fail to be
generally acceptable."--_Art Union._
COINS. An Introduction to the Study of Ancient and Modern Coins.
By J. Y. AKERMAN. Fcp. 8vo. with numerous wood engravings, from
the original coins, 6_s._ 6_d._
