ANTIQUARIAN. 



SACRED ARCIIiE0L(3GY ; a Popular Dictionary of Eccle- 



siastical Art and Institutions, from Primitive to ISIodern Times. Compris- 

 ing Architecture, Music, Vestments, Furniture Arrangement, Offices, Cus- 

 toms, Ritual Symbolism, Ceremonial Traditions, Religious Orders, etc., of 

 the Chm-ch Catholic in all Ages. By ]Mackenzie E. C. Walcott, 

 B.D. Oxon., F.S.A., Precentor and Prebendary of Chichester Cathedj-al. 

 Demy 8vo, 18*. 

 Mr. Walcott's ' Dictionary of Sacred Archaeology' is designed to satisfy a great 

 and growing want in the literature of the day. The increased interest taken by 

 large classes of the community in the Kcelesiastical History, the Archa;ology, tlie 

 Ritual, Artistic, and Conventual Usages of the early and middle ages of Christen- 

 dom has not been met by tlie publication of manuals at all fitted by their com- 

 prehensiveness, their accuracy, and the convenience of their arrangement to 

 sujiply this highly important demand. To combine in one the varied and general 

 information required by the cultivated reader at large with the higher and more 

 special sources of knowledge of which the student of ecclesiastical lore has need, 

 is the object which has been kept iu view in the compilation now offered to the 

 public. In no work of the kind has the English public, it is confidently believed, 

 liad presented to it so large and varied a mass of matter in a form so conveniently 

 arranged for reference. One valuable feature to which attention may be invited 

 is the co])ious list of authorities prefixed to Mr. Walcott's Dictionary. The 

 student will here find himself put readily upon the track for following up any 

 particular line of inquiry, of which the Dictionary has given him the first outlines. 



MAN'S AGE IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO 



HOLY SCRIPTURE AND SCIENCE. By an Essex Rectok. Demy 



8vo, 264 pp., 8s. Qd. 

 The Author, recognizing the established facts and inevitable deductions of 

 Science, and believing all attempts to reconcile them with the commonly re- 

 ceived, but erroneous, literal interpretation of Scripture, not only futile, but detri- 

 mental to the cause of Truth, seeks an interpretation of the Sacred Writings on 

 genenil principles, consistent alike with their authenticity, when rightly under- 

 stood, and with the exigencies of Science. He treats in successive Chapters of 

 The Flint Weapons of the Drift,— The Creation,— The Paradisiacal State,— The 

 Genealogies, — The Deluge, — Babel and the Dispersion ; and adds an Appendix 

 of valuable information from various souxces.
