ARCH RoL oaIcA l. ISsTIrurE.--The secretary read
paper by MIR. Edward A. Freeman con the Anglo
Saxon Remains III Iver Church, Bucks Consider
able interest has been created by the discovery In
the course of the repairs which this church has
lately undergone, of some ancient masonry In the
northern side of the nave, which bears unquestion
able evidence of being some portion OF an edlhce
that existed anterior to the Norman arches OF the
north aisle; and from the reddened surface OF the
stone and other Indications there is strong ground
for the presumption that the original building was
DESTROYED by fire. Much difficulty, however, must
always exist Tin the absence of any record) in as
signing a positive date to buildings erected either
shortly previous, or Immediately subsequent to the
conquest II is known that Edward, the Confessor,
built in the Norman style prior to lO66; but 1t may
be fairly assumed that our Saxon forefathers con-
tinued to construct their sacred edifces Especially
in the remoter distrcts) without much reference TO
the prevailing taste of that precise period.
The Hon. w. Stanley communicated an account
of recent discoveries in North Wales relating to the
workino of the copper mines OF that district at
very early period. In October last an ancient work
ing of great extent broken into at the Lander
dero mine, Ormes Head. The roof and sides were
coated with xhibiting from
admixture of metallic substances. great number
of stone hammers mauls were found supposed TO
have been used in crushing the ore. Large quaint
ties of bones of animals lay in the cavern which
appeared to have been gnawed by wolves, but may
have been left by the miners. Some OF these, with
the rude implements Of stone were sent by Lady
Erskine, through MIR. Stanley, for exhibition; as
also portions of bronze tools, of interest indicating
the character of those metaurgic operations in re-
mote etimes-regarding which very little has been as
certaned. The Rev. w. Hasam sent some notices
connected with the same subject, in reference TO
the tin works of Cornwall, accompanied by draw
ings of some blocks of the metal, considered to be
o the times of the Phpnician traders with these
! islands.

From notice ofthis work in the London Sp.rtr
ior, we extract the following paragraph
"The distinguishing of the authors
style arc clearness, precision, and proprety Tber.
Is no redundancy OF words, no possibility of mis-
taking hs meaning; the reader fs never DELAYED BIZ
involved OF encountered sentences; and the dictio11
varies sufficiently with its subject 70 avoid mono,o

ne Is equal to his theme, and he rarely or never
iails into that rather stilted rhetoric from which
lew oil his couutrymen altogether free especial
~ when dealing with chivalrous subjects II might
perhaps be critically objected that his book is rather
an historical review of Spanish literature than in
strctness history but such would be theoretical
objection. II the work has not the condemned ard
comprehensive elevation Of history il is more u.efu
and informing than that species Of composition car
ever become when its subjcct-matte is books In
such case the reader must altogether rely upon his
author. Mr. Ticknor enables him 70 Judge In,
himself, so far as IL Is practicable 10 do So The
critical reviewer, indeed, - not altoge,ber frce

This, however, is 90 difficult to avoid that we c.
conceive no other method than structural a.
rangement, assisted by mechanical means The
orlginators or principals of class or school might
De considered singly, and the others follow In a
smaller type. III, however, there is TO be any notice

tcristic and dismissal, il is almost impossible 10
avoid some exaggeraton Of bis attractive il not OF
