This is one of the handsomest of art publications. The plates are executed in the highest style of art, and the printing is equally well done. The various objects depicted are treasured in a number of different places in England, many of them not open to the tourist: hence the especial value of such a work, by which they are made public property. A full list of them cannot be given here, but will be sent to any intending purchaser. The selection given below will serve to show the extraordinarily interesting character of the whole. To any library, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure so valuable and interesting a collection of objects concerned with many of the greatest events of English history, at a nominal price. To collectors, also, the work will prove of great interest, covering as it does, the period from Elizabeth to Victoria. From the list of illustrations I select: I. The Swords of Oliver Cromwell and John Hampden. II. The Walking Stick of Sir Francis Drake and the Sword of Captain Cook. III. The Sword of General Wolfe. IV. The Main Royal Masthead of “L’Orient,” Flagship of the French fleet at the battle of the Nile. V. The Sash by which the body of Sir John Moore was lowered to the grave. VI. Wellington’s Waterloo Sword and Cocked Hat. VII. Swords surrendered to Major Hodson (of “Hodson’s Horse”) by the King and Princes at Delhi. VIII. The Bible and Silk Scarf of General Charles George Gordon, of Khartoum. I OFFER A FEW COPIES ONLY AT $20. (Two Copies in Half Morocco, at $25.)
