The first volume containing the printed Texts is divided into, firstly, the author's Rayione di questo secondo volume, thus implying that this work should be considered as a second volume to that published in 1889. "To this follows a descriptive account of such pieces of wares, attributed by the author to the potteries of Faenza, as he had been able to examine in the museums and private collections of Northern Italy and Tuscany. These were especially visited by him under direction of the Minister of Public Instruction, with a view to a careful study and elucidation of the subject."-C. D. E. FORTNUM, The Nineteenth Century, February, 1899. Armour : 30 ALBUM OF JACOBE, Master Workman at the Armoury, Greenwich, 1590, 35 coloured plates, in facsimile, by W. Griggs, on handmade paper in demy folio, with Monograph by VISCOUNT DILLON, F.S.A. For Subscribers It is proposed to publish in facsimile the above-mentioned work as a valuable record of the Armourer's art as practised in England in the second half of the sixteenth century. The Album contains drawings in ink and colours of suits of armour made by Amongst these are suits for the Dukes of Finland and Norfolk; the Earls of Special interest attaches to this MS. as it formerly belonged to the Harleian Although armour in England was, at the time referred to, fast disappearing from use, the suits shown in the work were all of a high class of workmanship and remarkable for their excellence, no less than interesting as the personal and intimate panoply of some of the brightest stars of the golden age of Elizabeth. It is hoped that the publication of this unique MS. may lead to the identification of other suits and portions of armour still scattered through the country, ar d as yet not correctly connected with famous names in English history. The reproductions will be accompanied by a short note on the MS. and brief notices of the individuals for whom the suits were made. 1 EGERTON (Hon. W.)

Every leaf and plate of the present edition was submitted to his correction, and it was published with his entire approval. "This most superb Archæological work is animated with numerous novelties, curious and historical disquisitions, and brilliant and recondite learning-Learning going to Court in the full rich costume of the Order of the Garter-Plates as fine as the monuments of Westminster Abbey. Really and truly the work is admirably executed, and deserves every eulogy."-Edinb. Review. "While the splendour of the decorations of this work is well calculated to excite curiosity, the novel character of its contents, the very curious extracts from the rare MSS. in which it abounds, and the pleasing manner in which the author's antiquarian researches are prosecuted, will tempt many who take up the book in idleness to peruse it with care. No previous work can be compared in point of extent, arrangement, science, or utility, with the one now in question. 1st. It for the first time supplies to our Schools of Art correct and ascertained data for costume, in its noblest and most important branch-historical painting. 2nd. It affords a simple, clear, and most conclusive elucidation of a great number of passages in our great dramatic poetsaye, and in the works of those of Greece and Rome-against which commentators and scholiasts have been trying their wits for centuries. 3rd. It throws a flood of light upon the manners, usages, and sports of our ancestors, from the time of the Anglo-Saxons down to the reign of Charles the Second. And, lastly, it at once removes a vast number of idle traditions and ingenious fables, which one compiler of history, copying from another, has suceeeded in transmitting through the lapse of four or five hundred years."-Edinb. Review. 33 MEYRICK. ENGRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS OF ANCIENT ARMS AND ARMOUR, 2 vols. atlas 4to., with more than 150 very highly finished etchings of the Collection of LLEWELYN MEYRICK at Goodrich Court, Herefordshire; engraved by Joseph Skelton, with descriptions by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick, half morocco, £4. 4s; or uniform with the larger work in three volumes 1854 "We should imagine that the possessors of Dr. Meyrick's former great work would eagerly add Mr. Skelton's as a suitable illustration. Indeed, they are essential companions. In the first they have the history of Arms and Armour; in the second work engravings of all the details."-Gentleman's Magazine. 31 SWEDISH ARMOUR AND COSTUME: A.
