price 12s., with a Coloured Plate of King Alfred's Jewel, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ALFRED THE GREAT. By the Rev. J. A. GILES, D.C.L., late Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Author of "The History of the Ancient Britons," &c. "A useful volume, as collecting into one view all the facts that are known respecting the Life of Alfred, exhibiting the various opinions on disputed points, and containing a very fair, sensible summing up by the biographer."--_Spectator._ Two vols., 8vo., 30s. HISTORY of the ANCIENT BRITONS, From the Earliest Period to the Invasion of the Saxons. Compiled from the Original Authorities. By the Rev. J. A. GILES, D.C.L, late Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. "The longer and more important passages are full and clear in matter, always well presented, often in a masterly mode.... Dr. Giles is in thorough possession of his materials and of his intention, which produces the clearness that arises from mastery; and he exhibits the same general _bon hommie_ and chronicler disposition for minute and picturesque narrative which we noted in his 'Life of Becket,' with more of a critical spirit."--_Spectator._ 8vo., price 5s. A HISTORY of the PICTS' or ROMANO-BRITISH WALL, and the ROMAN STATIONS, and VALLUM, with an Account of their present State, taken during a Pilgrimage along that part of the Island during the month of June, 1849. Foolscap 8vo., with Woodcuts and Map of the Locality, price 5s. THE BALLAD of EDWIN and EMMA. By DAVID MALLET. A New Edition, with Notes and Illustrations, by FREDERICK T. DINSDALE, Esq., LL.D., F.S.A. "This volume is a curious instance of the effect of early association ... Early knowledge of the genius loci has left an impression on the editor's mind which has produced this very completely illustrated edition. All that research can furnish touching the families of Wrightson and Railton, the surnames of Edwin and Emma, is collected."--_Spectator._ "The editor's great merit is that of exhausting every probable source of information, and equal industry spent in illustration of a more important subject, would have led to equally curious and more important results."--_Athenaeum._ GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street. * * * * * Printed by THOMAS CLARK SHAW, of No. 8, New Street Square, at No. 5. New Street Squa
