a distinct want, and speaking generally, supplies it well. Indeed Wilt- 

 shiremen and visitors to Wiltshire alike cannot do better than spend 

 half-a-crown upon it as soon as possible.

 preface and contents), xxiii. + 227 + 1 page of corrections and 11 of

In this volume are collected the valuable series of articles on the 

 Corporation Pictures which appeared in the Salisbury Journal between 

 Oct. 17th, 1906, and Jan. 26th, 1907, and have already been noticed in 

 Wilts Arch. Mag., xxxv., pp. 147—149. To these are added the article 

 on the Corporation Plate and Insignia which was printed in the Salishury 

 Journal for July 6 and 13, 1907, and was noticed in W.A.M., xxxv.^ 

 pp. 326, 327. A good deal of the information given in this latter 

 portion of the work is founded on descriptions of the Maces, &c., given 

 in previous volumes of the Magazine, but it is well that it should be 

 added to the very full information w^hich the volume contains as to the 

 unusually numerous collection of portraits possessed by the Corporation. 

 In all cases, full biographical notes on the lives of the persons depicted, 

 as well as the history of the portraits themselves are given, and the 

 volume makes quite a notable addition to the series of books on 

 Wiltshire, designed to supply information not readily to be found else- 

 where. 



The Author deserves well of Salisbury and of the County for the 

 good work he has here given us, and for that which he projwses to give 

 us shortly in a companion volume on the Ancient Guilds of Salisbnr>'.
