Translated and applied to the illustration of similar Remains in England, by WILLIAM J. THOMS, F.S.A., Secretary of the Camden Society. With numerous Woodcuts. 8vo. 10_s_. 6_d_. "The best antiquarian handbook we have ever met with--so clear is the arrangement, and so well and so plainly is each subject illustrated by well-executed engravings.... It is the joint production of two men who have already distinguished themselves as authors and antiquarians."--_Morning Herald._ "A book of remarkable interest and ability.... Mr. Worsaae's book is in all ways a valuable addition to our literature.... Mr. Thoms has executed the translation in flowing and idiomatic English, and has appended many curious and interesting notes and observations of his own."--_Guardian._ "The work, which we desire to commend to the attention of our readers, is signally interesting to the British antiquary. Highly interesting and important work."--_Archaeological Journal._ See also the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for February 1850. Oxford: JOHN HENRY PARKER, and 337. Strand. London |
