A DICTIONARY of ARCHAIC and PRO- 
VINCIAL WORDS, Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient 
Customs, from the Reign of Edward I. By James Orcuarp 
HALLIWwELL, F.R.S, F.S.A. &e. 
It contains above 50,000 Words (embodying all the known 
scattered glossaries of the English Language), forming a complete 
key to the reader of the works of our old Poets, Dramatists, 
Theologians, and other authors whose works abound with allu- 
sions, of which explanations are not to be found in ordinary dic- 
tionaries and books of reference. Most of the principal Archaisms 
are illustrated by examples selected from early inedited MSS. and 
rare books, and by far the greater portion will be found to be 
original authorities. 
ANGLO-SAXON.—A DELECTUS in 
ANGLO-SAXON, intended as a First Class-book in the Lan- 
guage. By the Rev. W. Barnes, of St. John’s College, Cam- 
bridge, Author of the Poems and Glossary in the Dorset Dialect. 
12mo. cloth, 2s. 6d. 
** To those who wish to possess a critical knowledge of their own 
native English, some acquaintance with Anglo-Saxon is indispen- 
sable ; and we have never seen an introduction better calculated 
than the present to supply the wants of a beginner in a short space 
oftime. The declensions and conjugations are well stated, and 
illustrated by references to the Greek, Latin, French, and other 
languages. A philosophical spirit pervades every part. The 
Delectus consists of Short pieces, on various subjects, with ex- 
tracts from Anglo-Saxon History and the Saxon Chronicle. 
There is a good glossary at the end.”—Atheneum, Oct. 20. 1849. 
ANGLO-SAXON.—GUIDE to the ANGLO- 
SAXON TONGUE; with Lessons in Verse and Prose. For the 
use of Learners. By E. J. Vernon, B.A., Oxon. 12mo. cloth, 
5s. 6d. 
*,* This will be found useful as a Second Class-book, or to 
those well versed in other languages. 
ANGLO-SAXON.— A COMPENDIOUS 
ANGLO-SAXON and ENGLISH DICTIONARY. By the 
Rev. Josepu Boswortn, D.D. F.R.S. &c. In 8vo. closely 
printed in treble columns, cloth, 12s. 
*,* This may be considered quite a new work from the author’s 
former Dictionary ; it has been entirely remodelled and enlarged, 
bringing it down to the present state of Anglo-Saxon literature, 
both at home and abroad. 
HOLBEIN’S DANCE of DEATH; with an 
Historical and Literary Introduction by an Antiquary. Square 
post 8vo., with 54 Engravings, being the most accurate copies 
ever executed of these gems of art, and a Frontispiece of an 
Ancient Bedstead at Aix-la-Chapelle, with a Dance of Death 
carved on it, engraved by Fairholt, cloth, 9s. 
“The designs are executed with a spirit and fidelity quite ex- 
traordinary. They are indeed most truthful.”—Atheneum. 
ENGLISH SURNAMES: an Essay on 
Family Nomenclature, Historical, Etymological, and Humorous. 
By Mark Anrony Lower, M.A. Third Edition, enlarged, 2 yols. 
post 8vo., cloth, 12s. 
*,* This new and much improved edition, besides a great en- 
largement of the chapters contained in the previous editions, 
comprises several that are entirely new, together with Notes on 
Scottish, Irish, and Norman Surnames. ‘The “ Additional Pro- 
Jusions,’’ besides the articles on Rebuses, Allusive Arms, and the 
Roll of Battel Abbey, contain Dissertations on Inn Signs, and 
Remarks on Christian Names; with a copious Index of many 
thousand names. These features render “ English Surnames” 
rather a new work than a new edition. 
THE CURIOSITIES of HERALDRY; with 
Mlustrations from Old English Writers. By Mark AnTony 
Lower. With Illuminated Title-page and numerous Engravings 
from Designs by the Author. 8vo., cloth, 14s.

Genealogical MSS. in the British Museum. By G. Sims, of the 
Monusenpt Department. 8vo., closely printed in double columns, 
cloth, ls. 
*,* An indispensable book to those engaged in genealogical or 
topographical pursuits, affording a ready clue to the pedigrees and 
arms of above 30,000 of the gentry of England, their residences, 
&c. (distinguishing the different families of the same name in 
every county), as recorded by the Heralds in their Visitations, 
with Indexes to other genealogical MSS. in the British Museum. 
It has been the work of immense labour. No public library ought 
to be without it. 
GUIDE to ARCH AZOLOGY.— An Archezo- 
logical Index to Remains of Antiquity of the Celtic, Romano- 
British, and Anglo-Saxon Periods. By Joun YonGr AKERMAN, 
Fellow and Secretary to the Society of Antiquaries. 1 vol. 8vo , 
illustrated with numerous Engravings, comprising upwards of 
500 objects. 15s. cloth. 
“ One of the first wants of an incipient antiquary is the facility 
of comparison, and here it is furnished him at one glance. The 
plates, indeed, form the most valuable part of the book, both by 
their number and the judicious selection of types and examples 
which they contain. It is a book which we can, on-this account, 
safely and warmly recommend to all who are interested in the 
antiquities of their native land.” —Lilterary Guxette. 
“A book of such utility —so concise, so clear, so well condensed 
from such varied and voluminous sources, cannot fail to be gene- 
rally acceptable.””—Arl- Union.
