one volume instead of two, and at a reduced price, his _Pictorial Book of
Ballads Traditional and Romantic_. _A Monumentarium of Exeter Cathedral_, carefully compiled by the Rev. J.W. Hewett, the result of six months regular labour, has been printed in the _Transactions of the Exeter Architectural Society_. By this work Mr. Hewett has done good service to all genealogists, local and general historians, &c., and we know no greater benefit that could be conferred on this branch of literature, than that some of our now super-abundant brass-rubbers should follow Mr. Hewett's example, and note with accuracy all the inscriptions, monuments, coats of arms, &c., preserved in the churches in their respective neighbourhoods. They may then either hand them over for publication to the nearest Archæological Society, or the Archæological Institute, or the Society of Antiquaries; or transmit a copy of them to the MS. department of the British Museum. Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson, of Wellington Street, will sell, on Monday next and two following days, the valuable Collection of Ancient and Modern Engravings of the late James Brown, Esq. We have received the following Catalogues:--W.S. Lincoln's (Cheltenham House, Westminster Road) Sixty-fourth Catalogue of Cheap Second-hand English and Foreign Books; John Miller's (43. Chandos Street) Catalogue Number Sixteen of Books Old and New. * * * * * BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE. LELAND'S HISTORY OF IRELAND. Vol. II. |
