the different Changes through which our National Architecture passed, from the Heptarchy to the Reformation. Twelve Steel Engravings and Woodcuts. Each Period, except the First, is illustrated by portions of the Interior and the Exterior of one of our Cathedral Churches of corresponding date, beautifully engraved on Steel, so presented as to enable the Student to draw for himself a close comparison of the characteristic features which distinguish the Architecture of each of the SEVEN PERIODS, and which are of so striking and simple a nature as to prevent the possibility of mistake.

"The table of Anti-Logarithms is, I think, all that could be wished, in extent, in structure, and in typography. For its extent it is unique among modern Tables. Of accuracy I cannot speak, of course; but this being supposed, I have no hesitation in recommending it without qualification. "The form in which Gauss's Tables are arranged will be a matter of opinion. I can only say that Mr. Filipowski's Table is used with ease, as I have found upon trial; and that its extent, as compared with other tables, and particularly with other FIVE-FIGURE tables, of the same kind, w
