It would be difficult, perhaps, to find two books on archæological subjects, published in England during the past year, which can compete with these in the excellence of their production, and the logical and argumental value of their teaching.” [Illustration: DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS—JONAH (1) CAST INTO THE SEA; (2) DISGORGED BY THE WHALE; (3) REPOSING UNDER THE GOURD.] RHIND LECTURES. _Now ready, in One Vol. 8vo, 372 pp., with 148 Woodcuts, price 15s._ THE PAST IN THE PRESENT: WHAT IS CIVILISATION?
