Mr. Mantell has other philosophical labors in hand, the result of 
which we may hope to hear of in due time. 
_ We must not omit to mention the History of the Antiquities of Lew- 
es and its Vicinity, by the Rev. T. W. Horsfield, F. S. A., of which 
the part relating to Natural History is by Mr. Mantell. This work 
is in two splendid quarto volumes, rich in plates, illustrating buildings 
ancient and modern, scenery, ancient tombs, coins, weapons, uten- 
sils, &c. &c. It is a most curious and instructive work, and possess- 
es a familiar interest even to a transatlantic reader. Sussex and the 
vicinal counties were, for centuries, the principal seat of the Roman 
Empire in Britain; and in this part of the island happened many 
memorable battles, and other great events in Danish, Saxon and 
Norman warfare, and political sway. Hastings, where Harold lost, 
and William the Norman gained a crown, is but a few miles from 
Lewes. We, in this country; have almost an equal interest with
