THE CHORAL RESPONSES AND LITANIES OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND
IRELAND. Collect from Authentic Sources. By the Rev. JOHN JEBB, A.M.,
Rector of Peterstow.

The present Work contains a full collection of the harmonized compositions
of ancient date, including nine sets of pieces and responses, and fifteen
litanies, with a few of the more ancient Psalm Chants. They are given in
full score, and in their proper cliffs. In the upper part, however, the
treble is substituted for the "cantus" or "medius" cliff: and the whole
work is so arranged as to suit the library of the musical student, and to
be fit for use in the Choir.

Kurdistan; the Yezidis, or Devil-worshippers; and an Enquiry into the
Manners and Arts of the Ancient Assyrians. By AUSTEN H. LAYARD, D.C.L.

"This is, we think, the most extraordinary work of the present age, whether
with reference to the wonderful discoveries it describes, its remarkable
verification of our early biblical history, or the talent, courage, and
perseverance of its author. We have had our Bruces and Mungo Parks, as well
as our Parrys, Franklins, Backs, and Rosses, but we question whether a more
