long time in preparation in England.
Its title is "The History of Signboards,
Ancient and Modern, with anecdotes Of
Famous Taverns and Remarkable Charac-
ters.'' Upwards Of four hundred pages of
interesting particulars and anecdotes have
already been printed, and q great many
drawings Of old signs have been made for
the work. Such signboard oddities rs the
"Bull and Last Elephant and Friar,n
"Bull and Two Calves" with hundreds OF
other tavern decorations, will receive, we
are assured, full eluoidation. The London
ReUasao gives the following anecdote, which
very recently was an item OF gossip ia
Brussels: Az
some morning, few weeks since, an
elderly and respectable gentleman might
have been seen on the Place do Pliotel De
Vile gazing with much curiosity Mt sign
over tobacconist's. The words when
excited his surprise were AN Peut GAY

then ut the number OF the house, he SAID
TO the friend who WAS with him, i really

here Without more consideration he
entered, and, speaking TO an elderly iady,
