and other counties now in hand, for the principal control of 

 the ecclesiology seems, by general consent, to have been placed 

 in his hands. Mr. St. John Hope will, however, prepare the 

 account and plans of the cathedral churches and the more 

 important monastic remains, and as such, the Derbyshire abbeys 

 of Dale and Keauchief will be the work of his pen and pencil. 



" The Roman Fort of Gellygaer."" by Mr. John Ward, 

 F.S.A. (Messrs. Bemrose & Sons, Ltd., 7s. 6d. nett). The 

 publication of this excellent work comes opportunely to those 

 who are interested in the proposed excavation at Brough, for 

 it is the outcome of similar work by the Cardiff Naturalists' 

 Society, and is from the pen of a well-known Derbyshire 

 archaeologist, and one who is a member of the Council of our own 

 Society. Gellygaer, which is situated midway between Cardiff 

 and Brecon, bears a remarkable similarity to Brough, for not

 plan of the same order, but its outlying position on the Roman 

 lines and the mountainous nature of its surroundings bring 

 the parallel closely home. Mr. Ward's work is always as 

 reliable as it is interesting. 



" A Handbook to Hardwick Hall," by the Rev. F. Brod- 

 hurst, Vicar of Heath and of Ault-Hucknall, in which latter 

 parish Hardwick Hall is situated. This much wanted guide- 

 book, which will shortly appear, is the result of many years 

 of study and interest in a subject with which the author is 

 peculiarly competent to deal. It will describe the tapestry, 

 principal p>ortraits, and chief objects of interest at Hardwick, 

 and will be well illustrated; yet, it is expected that the price 

 will not exceed a very nominal sum. Mr. Brodhurst is a 

 member of the Council of this Society, and he has not hesitated 

 to allow some of his plates to be used in this volume for 

 Lord Hawkesbury's paper on the " Portraits at Hardwick," 

 although by so doing he is forestalling their publication in his 

 own book, a generosity which will be appreciated by the 

 members. He has also a larger and more historical work in
