The same publisher offers a valuable help to the pursuit of the closely allied science of sphragistics in the shape of Descriptions des Collections de Sceaux Matrices de M. Dongé, by P.

Of this work, we regret to see, only a limited impression is to be struck off, thus enhancing the value of the book no doubt, but at the expense of the general public. particularly well acquainted with the architecture, ritual, and customs of the earlier ages of the Church in England, a subject on which his pen never tired of writing. He was only fifty-nine years of age, and till within the last few weeks he seemed to be as likely as any one to reach the allotted span of life. But in November he was attacked with an illness which nearly proved fatal at the time, and from the effects of which he never perfectly rallied. The only son of the late Admiral J. E. Walcott, some time M. P. for Christchurch, Hants, he was born in 1822, and was educated at Winchester School, under Dr. THE Rivista Europea-Rivista Internazionale (Flo-Moberley, and afterwards took his degree at Exeter rence, Via del Castelaccio), with the commencement of College, Oxford.

WHAT can possibly be added to what has already been said a hundred times over respecting the eminent merits of Whitaker's Almanac? So cosmopolitan, however, has the almanac become, owing to the information, toilsomely and carefully garnered from all quarters, which it annually affords, that we may be forgiven by the editor for suggesting that he should adopt as a motto for his next year's issue: 66 'Quæ regio in terris nostri non plena laboris?" SIR JULIUS BENEDICT's imprimatur will be sufficient to commend to all concerned The Professional Pocket-Book; or, Daily and Hourly Engagement Diary for 1881 (Rudall, Carte & Co.). AMONG the gift-books of the season, from the specimen furnished us of its illustrations, Mr. Wise's New Forest, published by H. M. Gilbert (Southampton), would seem to be very attractive. MR. JAMES STILLIE (Hanover Street, Edinburgh) sends us specimens both of his bound and unbound catalogues. The bound volume is quite a book of reference for the library shelves. Mr. Stillie, as the last survivor, we believe, of the Ballantyne firm in the days when the author of Waverley was one of its members, has a considerable store of "Scottiana," besides many works of great interest to various classes of students, e.g., Piranesi's Lapides Capitolini, Letters to Lord Charlemont, &c., the Funeral at Rome of Maria Clementina [Sobieska], wife of James VIII, and III., and other rarities. IN these days of Hibernia excitata Irish book-catalogues are few and far between. Therefore M. W. Rooney (Wicklow Street, Dublin) deserves to attract the attention of collectors to his catalogues of works on Irish history, Cruikshankiana, &c.

Mr. Walcott had held the Precentorship at Chichester for about seventeen years; he was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, of the Society of Northern Antiquaries, of the Society of Antiquaries of Normandy, and a Corresponding Member of the Archæological Society of France.
