of Ely Cathedral in 1663, to his last, the Orangery at Kensington, 

 finished in 1706. There are a number of appendices containing a 

 chronological list of his architectural works, and many interesting 

 letters and reports, including his " Report on Salisbury Cathedral, 

 1669." "The whole pile," he says, " is large and magnificent, and may 

 be justly accounted one of the best patterns of architecture in that age 

 wherein it was built." There is also printed here the " Memorial from 

 Sir Christopher Wren to the Bishop of Eochester concerning the Abbey 

 Church of St. Peter at Westminster, 1713," as well as a genealogy of 

 the family of Wren. Altogether a book worthy of its subject.

The Author published at Liverpool in 1894 a thin " Vol. II." con- 

 taining the Annals of the Regiment " from 1884 to 1893," consisting of 

 forty-five pages. The present volume, also called "Vol II.," carries 

 down to the present time the history of what was officially recognised in 

 1885 as the Senior Regiment of Yeomany Cavalry in the Service. It 

 follows the fortunes of the Regiment year by year, its Centenary and 

 inspection by the Prince of Wales in 1893, down to the outbreak of the war 

 in South Africa. The raising of the three Wiltshire Companies of Imperial 

 Yeomanry and their experiences in South Africa in the campaigns against 

 Prinsloo, Olivier, and De Wet, are naturally dwelt upon at considerable 

 length, and the account here given of the different campaigns in which 

 they took part and of the work done by them is the most interesting part 

 of the book for the general reader. Another important landmark in 

 the history of the Regiment was the provision, as premier Regiment of 

 Yeomanry, of the representative detachment of that branch of the Service 

 under Major F. P. Goddard, to accompany the " Imperial Representative 

 Corps " sent to Australia to attend the Proclamation of the Common- 

 wealth, on January 1st, 1901. The full Rolls of the officers and men of 

 the three Companies serving in the South African war are given. 

 Altogether the annals seem very complete without being unduly prolix.
