THE PRIMAEVAL ANTIQUITIES OF DENMARK. By J.J.A. WORSAAE, M.R.S.A., of Copenhagen. Translated and applied to the Illustration of similar Remains in England, by WILLIAM J. THOMS, ESQ., F.S.A., Secretary of the Camden Society. Illustrated with numerous Woodcuts. 8vo. 10s. 6d. "This is the best antiquarian handbook we have ever met with--so clear is its arrangement, and so well and so plainly is each subject illustrated by well-executed engravings, that confusion for the future is impossible upon a variety of points on which the most grievous mistakes have hitherto been made by anxious and zealous antiquarians. * * * It is the joint production of two men who have already distinguished themselves as authors and antiquarians. It is a book of which it may be said, that in every sentence is to be found an interesting fact, and that every page teems with instruction, and may be regarded as a sure guide to all antiquarians in their future archaeological inquiries."--_Morning Herald_.

Mag._ London: LONGMAN, BROWN, GREEN, and LONGMANS. * * * * * Just published, price 4s. 6d. cloth.
