overy; and who is advertising for some competent person who will work
out what he has in progress. Although Assyrian literature may at present be
discouraged by the Church and neglected by the Universities, there can be
little doubt that it must ere long assume a very different position: and we
therefore trust that some means may yet be taken to prevent Dr. Hincks'
withdrawal from a field of study in which he has been so successful.

As we have deviated from our usual course in noticing subjects advertised
in our pages, we take the opportunity of calling the attention of our
antiquarian friends to the advertisement from the Rev. G. Cumming on the
subject of the casts now making from the Runic Monuments in the Isle of
Man.
