ciently described in its title-page. The editor very properly explains that the work is of an archaeological, not of a theological character--and as such it is certainly one which English archaeologists and ecclesiologists have long wanted. The editor, while judiciously availing himself of the labours of Alt, Radowitz, Didron, and other foreign writers, has not spared his own, having, with the view to one portion of it, compiled a list of all the churches in England, with the saints after whom they were named. This is sufficient to show that the work is one of research, and consequently of value; that value being materially increased by the numerous woodcuts admirably engraved by Mr. O. Jewitt, with which it is illustrated. _Books Received._--_Helena, The Physician's Orphan_. The third number of Mrs. Clarke's interesting series of tales, entitled, _The Girlhood of Shakspeare's Heroines_. {127} _Every-day Wonders, or Facts in Physiology which all should know:_ a very successful endeavour to present a few of the truths of that science which treats of the structure of the human body, and of the adaptation of the external world to it in such a form as that they be readily apprehended. Great pains have been taken that the information imparted should be accurate; and it is made more intelligible by means of some admirable woodcuts. _Catalogues Received._--John Miller's (43. Chandos Street) No. 18. of Catalogues of Books Old and New; J. Russell Smith's (4. Old Compton Street) Catalogue Part II. of an Extensive Collection of Choice, Useful, and Curious Books. * * * * * BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE.
