THE BELL: its Origin, History, and Uses. By the Rev. ALFRED GATTY, Vicar
of Ecclesfield. "A new and revised edition of a very varied, learned, and amusing essay on the subject of bells."--_Spectator._ GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street. * * * * * Just Published, Octavo Edition, plain, 15s.; Quarto Edition, having the Plates of the Tesselated Pavements all coloured, 1l. 5s. REMAINS of ROMAN ART in Cirencester, the Site of Ancient Corinium: containing Plates by De la Motte, of the magnificent Tesselated Pavements discovered in August and September, 1849, with copies of the grand Heads of Ceres, Flora, and Pomona; reduced by the Talbotype from facsimile tracings of the original; together with various other plates and numerous wood engravings. In the Quarto edition the folding of the plates necessary for the smaller volume is avoided. "The recent discoveries made at Cirencester have been the means of enlisting in the cause of archælogy two intelligent and energetic associates, to whose exertions we are mainly indebted for the preservation of the interesting remains brought to light, and our obligations are increased by the able manner in which they have described and illustrated them in the volume now under notice. |
