It is confidently hoped that these books will prove to be comprehensive and popular, as well as accurate and scholarly; so that they may be of service to the general reader, and at the same time helpful and trustworthy books of reference to the antiquary or student. The writers will make every endeavour to avail themselves of the most recent research. The series is edited by the well-known antiquary, J. Charles Cox, LL.D., F.S.A., Member of the Royal Archæological Institute, Corresponding Member of the British Archæological Association, and Council Member of the Canterbury and York Record Society, and of the British Numismatic Society.

A special feature is made of the illustrations, which will vary, according to the requirements of the subjects, from 50 to 150. Some are in colour. The type is large and clear, the length of each volume is about 320 pages. ENGLISH MONASTIC LIFE Third Edition By ABBOT GASQUET, O.S.B., D.D., PH.D., D.LITT. With 42 Illustrations, 5 Maps, and 3 Plans. “This delightful book, so full of quaint learning, is like a painted window, through which, if one looks, one may see the old world of the Middle Ages as that world must have shown itself to a monk.”—_Daily News._ “Curiously interesting and highly instructive.”—_Punch._ “An extremely interesting summary of the laws which governed the religious and domestic life in the great monasteries.”—_Yorkshire Post._ REMAINS OF THE PREHISTORIC AGE IN ENGLAND By BERTRAM C. A. WINDLE, SC.D., F.R.S., F.S.A. With 94 Illustrations by Edith Mary Windle “It gives a tabulated list of such remains; divided into counties, and subdivided into earthworks, barrows, camps, dykes, megalithic monuments, and so on, with detailed explanations; to these are added a list of museums in which specimens of prehistoric remains are preserved. Confining himself almost entirely to accepted facts in the science of archæology, the Professor devotes no more space to what he describes as theory spinning about the dates of various epochs than is necessary to present the subject with completeness, especially on its geological side. Mrs. Windle’s excellent illustrations throughout the volume add greatly to its value.”—_Yorkshire Post._ THE OLD SERVICE-BOOKS OF THE ENGLISH CHURCH. By CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH, M.A., AND HENRY LITTLEHALES With 38 Plates, 4 of which are in Colour “It is infinitely more than a fascinating book on the treasures of past ages. It is the history of the making of a great and living book. The illustrations are most beautifully reproduced.”—_St. James’s Gazette._
