The English Archeologist's Handbook. By Henry Godwin, F.S.A. (Parker & Son.)

In a very judicious Introduction, Mr. Godwin points out the difficulties with which the student of archæology is surrounded from the bulkiness and expense of almost all books which treat of this interesting science, and shows that the student who may set forth to study our national monuments would require a very considerable outlay to secure the books, and then having expended a camel-load of copper in their purchase, would require the camel itself to transport them. But we will let Mr. Godwin tell in his own words the object of the book before us: "The experience of some years of irksome and humiliating, although unavoidable ignorance, has guided me in the selection of those subjects on which information is most necessary, and most difficult of attainment; and this information I have with much labour, and at no inconsiderable expense, endeavoured to collect, condense, and classify, rectifying as far as I could what I considered erroneous, and popularising, as far as the matter

Carrying out his object in this spirit, Mr. Godwin has produced a little volume in which the English archæologist will find a mass of information readily accessible, and we believe perfectly reliable, which will make it not only useful as a book of reference in the study, but really what Mr. Godwin aimed at-a handbook to the archæologist, a manual to the student of history, and an instructive companion to the English tourist.

circumstances did not then permit of it. The Leeds Com-
mittee, finding their opportunities greater, have now
requested that gentleman to superintend the formation
and arrangement of such a gallery in one of the principal
corridors of their new infirmary. We understand that
Mr. Hailstone has consented to undertake this task, and
also that he has been fortunate enough to associate with
himself the Rev. James Beck, who is well known to our
readers by his connection with the National Portrait
Exhibition and the South Kensington Loan Collections.
Under such care we are sure that the Gallery of " York-

very valuable to historical students.

Opinions of the Press.

"We must, on the present occasion, content ourselves with adverting briefly to the curious and minute inquiry just instituted by Mr. Thoms into this tale."-Quarterly Review.

"The Romance which Mr. Thoms has dissected with ruthless thoroughness."-Saturday Review.

"Mr. Thoms. the able Editor of that successful little farrago of learning, oddities, absurdities, and shrewdnesses. Notes and Queries, perhaps the one weekly newspaper which will be consulted three hundred years hence, has been trying very hard to get at the truth of the Hannah Lightfoot story. It is nearly impossible to prove s negative, and quite impossible to prove a negative about the secret history of Courts but Mr. Thoms has certainly succeeded in raising a violent presumption that the story is a delusion, probably based on some intrigue carried on by one of the Royal Family."

Spectator, June 22.

"A neat little volume, in which the tale of Hannah Lightfoot and George the Third are scattered to the winds. . . . Mr. 1 hoins has in fifty pages-readable and well worth reading-corrected the credulities of a century's gossip, and contributed some very important historical facts."-Birmingham Journal.
