"Mr. Maxwell's Life of the Duke of Wellington has no rival. It is free from flattery and bombast, succinct and masterly. The type and mechanical execution are admirable; the plans of battles and sieges numerous, ample, and useful; the portraits many and faithful; the battle pictures animated and brilliant; and the vignettes of costumes and manners worthy of Horace Vernet himself."-Times.

"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.

"The royal monastery of Batalha is one of the most celebrated edifices in Europe. Its beautiful arches are fretted and pinnacled and crocketed in the best style of Gothic at its best period, and the graceful arching of the roof, unsupported by console or column, is unequalled. The Plantaganet cast of the whole building conveyed home to my bosom a feeling so interesting, so congenial, that I could hardly persuade myself to move away."-Beckford.

NICHOLSON'S ARCHITECTURE,

1846

PRIN

[blocks in formation]

The text book of the profession, the most useful guide to the architectural student, and the best compendium for the amateur. This work has always been so highly appreciated, and its reputation is now so well established, that quotations in its praise would seem superfluous, but it may be permitted to adduce the opinion recently given of it by an eminent architect, who declared it to be "not only the most useful book of the kind ever published, but absolutely indispensable to the student," and added, that "he always kept a copy on his own table, as well as another in the office for the use of his pupils."

NICOLAS'S (SIR HARRIS) HISTORY OF THE ORDERS OF KNIGHTHOOD OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE; with an Account of the Medals, Crosses, and Clasps which have been conferred for Naval and Military Services; together with a History of the Order of the Guelphs of Hanover, 4 vols. impl. 4to, splendidly printed and illustrated by numerous fine woodcuts of Badges, Crosses, Collars, Stars, Medals, Ribbands, Clasps, &c., and many large plates, illuminated in gold and colours, including fulllength Portraits of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, the King of Hanover, and the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex, strongly boarded in cloth, with morocco backs, (pub. at 147. 148.) reduced to 57. 158. 6d. 1842

the same, with the plates richly coloured but not illuminated, and without the extra portraits, extra cloth, 37. 13s. 6d. 1842

"Sir Harris Nicolas has produced the first comprehensive History of the British Orders of Knighthood; and it is one of the most elaborately prepared and splendidly printed works that ever issued from the press. The Author appears to us to have neglected no sources of information, and to have exhausted them, as far as regards the general scope and purpose of the inquiry. The graphical illustrations are such as become a work of this character upon such a subject; at, of course, a lavish cost. The resources of the recently revived art of wood-engraving have been combined with the new

art of printing in colours, so as to produce a rich effect, almost rivalling that of the monastic illuminations. Such a book is sure of a place in every great library. It contains matter calculated to interest extensive classes of readers, and we hope by our specimen to excite their curiosity."-Quarterly Review. NOLLEKENS and his Times, comprehending his Life and Memoirs of Contemporary Artists, by J. T. SMITH, second edition, 2 vols. 8vo, port., cloth, (pub. at 17. 48.) reduced to 12s. 1829 NUMISMATA.

"His admirable discourses contain such a body of just criticism on an extremely difficult subject, clothed in such perspicuous, elegant, and nervous language, that it is no exaggerated panegyric to assert, that they will last as long as the English tongue, and contribute, not less than the productions of his pencil, to render his name immortal."-Northcote.

JAMESON, square 8vo, elegantly printed, gilt boards, (pub. at 9s.) reduced to 68. 1840

"There is scarcely a gallery or nobleman's seat in Britain but boasts some specimens of Rubens, and no work that Dr. Waagen could have written is more likely to win him English readers than the present, which Mrs. Jameson has edited and furnished with a very clever and discriminatory preface. With the pictures of Rubens Dr. Waagen is well acquainted; he has seen all that are to be seen in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and England; and his volume is especially valuable for its philosophic criticism-a rare merit in these days."-Athenæum.

"As handsome and complete a book of reference to the Coinage of Britain and its Dependencies as there are materials in existence to frame.

"The text of Ruding has been judiciously retained in its strict integrity, but much has been added in the shape of notes throughout the whole, which have greatly augmented the intelligence of the text, and improved its value. There are also copious corrections and elucidations of many doubtful and conflicting accounts, which the editor has been enabled to bring forward since the previous editions appeared.

"Among the new plates we observe some unique coins, and others of great rarity; and some which have never been described. These include the Hexham treasure trove of Stycas; some extremely rare coins of Alfred and Edward the Confessor. One unique piece of Horthacunt, a noble of Henry VIII.
