Gordon, Mrs. Old Times in Britain [for use on Bank 

 Holidays] : (Pamphlet) : 8vo., 20 pp. ; six illustrations. 

 Dedicated to Lord Avebury — " who, by founding Bank Holidays, revived 

 four ancient national holidays." Stonehenge and Avebury are monuments 

 of the piety of the Ancient Britons, who brought with them (from Asia 

 and the Holy Land) 4000 years ago the " knowledge of the one true God." 

 Stonehenge is both " a sanctuary and a sundial." The authoress sees 

 many points of resemblance between British and Hebrew customs.

Beport of a paper read before the Society of Antiquaries. The author 

 described the discoveries made during the raising of the great leaning 

 stone in the previous September, all of which went to prove that Stone- 

 henge was erected by " the sun-worshippers of the Neolithic Age."

The Professor's first visit to Stonehenge was paid in 1833. His account of 

 his second trip, during 1886, is contained in pp. 163 — 171, which include 

 some charming verses entitled " The Broken Circle."

" In the North Sea the honey and sherry-coloured amber is by far the 

 most common, and ruby-coloured specimens are exceedingly rare. In the 

 Catanian amber, on the other hand, the darker tints prevail, and a large 

 proportion of the amber beads worn by the peasantry of Sicily are of a 

 syrup or ruby or plum-bloom colour." 



This excellent paper — and also the book upon the same subject by Dr. 

 Conwentz — should be studied in connection with the amber objects found 

 in the Wilts barrows.
