On the Ist of MAY next will be published, 
ISTORIC RELIQUES; a Series of Repre- 
=z sentations of ARMS, JEWELLERY, GOLD and SIL- 
VEK PLATE, FURNITURE, ARMOUR, &c., in Royal and 
Noble Collections, Colleges, and Public Institutions, &e, and 
which formerly belonged to Individuals Eminent in History, 
drawn from the originals and etched by JOSEPH LIONEL 
WILLIAMS. 
Relics of antiquity, in themselves most interesting and instruc- 
tive, become doubly so when they have belonged to individuals 
whose deeds are chronicled in history. Who is there, ‘ to dull 
forgetfulness a prey,” who does not look with intense interest on 
objects connected with the “ mighty victor, mighty lord,’ Edward 
the Third, the Black Pxince, Henry VIII., the imperious Eliza- 
beth, the ill-fated Mary of Scotland, or the unh#ppy Charles I. ? 
Not only of kings, but of their favourites, and of the illustrious 
men who have shed lustre on the various epochs of history, are 
the relics most instructive and important. 
The aim of the present publication is to illustrate, by a series 
of original Drawings, the various relics which have historical 
interest, such as Arimour, Dresses, Jewellery, Gold and Silver 
Plate, Furniture, &c., formerly belonging to persons celebrated 
‘n history, and which are still treasured up in her Majesty’s col- 
lections, in the museums of the nobility and gentry, in colleges, 
halls, and public museums, &e. 
Some few of the relics of the past. having historical associations 
connected with them, have been represented in archeological 
works ; but it is necessary to search through many volumes to 
find even a limited number of them, and the present work would 
embrace a great variety hitherto unrepresented; at the same time, 
its peculiar feature, that every subject would be Historical, renders 
it a book of great novelty and importance. ‘lo the Historian aud 
Antiquary the proposed series of Illustrations recommends itself 
by its character and importance ; to the lover of ancient Art, for 
the beauty of most of the objects represented ; and its claims on the 
general reader are the connexion of the Relics with the dead whose 
actions are the theme of history and romance. ‘To the Artist 
these Illustrations will be of essential importance ; and to the 
Manutacturer of scarcely less value, as the Relics themselves are, 
in most cases, either of exquisite beauty of form or striking and 
characteristic style, and by furnishing data, will enable hin to 
carry out designs in the style peculiar to all periods. 
It is proposed to publish the Work in Monthly Parts, containing 
three Etchings drawn with the most scrupulous fidelity, and ilus- 
trative Vignettes beautifully engraved on Wood, The plates 
will be coloured, and the size of the Work be imperial 8vo.; a 
limited number in imperial 4to.; the subjects fully coloured, 
and the initial letters also. 
The Editor will be greatly obliged by communications respect- 
ing Relics of Historic Interest being forwarded to 198. Strand. 
Price 2s. 6d, each Part ; to be completed in Ten Parts. 
Office, 198. Strand.
