She was delighted to hear that before Burton's starting for Mecca, I had examined his muscular arm, and foretold that he would succeed. I got up an Arabic Lexicon in an Oriental guise, which volume accompanied him to Mecca. During the Burtons' married life we were constant friends and correspondents. After Burton's death Lady Burton occasionally consulted me. I saw her last whilst she lay on her sick-bed crippled by the internal disease which caused her death. Siebold (Dr. Ph.

Three hundred facsimiles, of the choicest Manuscripts in Europe, need no other recommendation than to state the fact. The work cost nearly twenty thousand pounds in getting up, and the expense was chiefly defrayed by His Majesty the late Louis Philippe, who subscribed at the outset for sixty copies, at about £75. each.

ALFRED CHABLES SMITH, M.A., Rector of Yatesbury, Wilts. 1 vol. atlas 4to. 248 pp. 17 large maps and 110 woodcuts, extra cloth, price £2. 28 1885 This work, the materials of which have been accumulating for twenty-five years, is the result of innumerable rambles and rides over the Downs of North Wiltshire, and deals with one of the most important archæological districts in Europe. It consists of a large quarto volume, containing an account of all the Barrows, Camps, Roads, Dykes, Enclosures, Cromlechs, Circles, and other British and Roman stone-and earthworks of a most primitive district, with references to and extracts from the best authorities as well as figures of many of the various urns, and other objects found in Barrows, Views of Cromlechs, Plans of Camps, &c. Bound up with this volume in sections, are maps on the scale of 6 ins. to a mile, com prising one hundred square miles round Abury, and including thirteen miles from East to West, and eight miles from North to Sonth, being the great plateau of the North Wiltshire Downs, on which all the antiquities are shown and may be readily found and referred to by means of letters and figures. This is a reprint undertaken by the Wiltshire Archæological and Natural History Society, in consequence of more than one-third of the first edition having been destroyed at the binders in the great fire in Paternoster Row, in 1883. The work can be obtained from BERNARD QUARITCH, 15 Piccadilly, London, W. G. NORMAV AND SON, PRINTERS, FLORAL STREET, COVENT GARDEN. |
