ANTIQUARIAN. 



SACEED AECHiEOLOGY J a Popular Dictionary of Eccle- 

 siastical Art and Institations, from Primitive to Modem Times. Compris- 

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

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

 the Church Catholic in all Ages. By Mackenzie E. C. Walcott, 

 B.D. Oxon., F.S.A., Prsecentor and Prebendary of Chichester Cathedral. 

 Demy 8vo, 18*. 

 Mr. Walcott's ' Dictionary of Sacred Archseology' 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 Ecclesiastical History, the Archeeology, the 

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

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

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

 supply 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 in view in the compilation now ofiered to the 

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

 had 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 he invited 

 is the copious 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 WOELD ACCOEDING TO 



HOLY SCRIPTURE AND SCIENCE. By an Essex Rector. Demy 



8vo, 264 pp., 8*. 6d. 

 The Author, recognizing the established facts and inevitable deductions of 

 Science, and believing all attempts to reconcile them wilh 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 

 general 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 soiurces.
