By CHARLES KNIGHT. •
" ills pleasant gallery of vpular antiquarianism, alternately mak-
ing our heart yearn upon the good times that are gone y.ever to
return, and causing us to wonder a.,d to rejoice at the mighty strides
the world has made in the road of improvement."—John Bull.

" Tnis varied, pfeasant, and, what i 9 not always the case, inform-
ing co lection of Faaays, is in part a selection from the writings of a
man who bas done more to popu'arise literature than perhaps an 3
other man of the day. The volumes consist of a number of notice a
illustrative o manuals or archeology, arranged in chronologica
order."—Spectator.
