we gave to the early volumes we are 
happy to give to the succeeding ones: 
The plates are, if possible, even in a 
superior style of .execution. Among 
those in the fourth voltime we- more 
particularly: notice two views of the - 
keep of Guilford Castle; the entrance 
to ©6Warwick Castle, and Warwick 
biidge; five plates from Ifley Church in 
Oxfordshire; and five views of the town 
and castle of Launceston in Cornwall. 
In the fifth volume we are best pleased 
with seven plates illustrative of the hos- 
pital of St. Cross near Winchester; an 
yaterior view of Thundersley Churc ‘hin 
Essex; four views of the Manor-house. 
of Wingfield in Derbyshire; and the re- 
mains of the chapel, Ludlow Castle, 
Salop. And, in the sixth volume, with 
the views of Latton Priory, Essex; 
Plympton, Devonshire; Netley Abbey; 
Chichester Cathedral; ‘and Stow Church 
in Lincolnshire. The letter-press, which 
is concise, is judiciously selected, as 
may be instanced in the accounts of 
Hiley Church, Launceston, the Hospital 
of St. Cross, and the Manor-house of 
Wingfield. We shall continueat proper 
intervals to record the progress of the: 
work.

Nor must we forget m this class The

Almost every tourist in Wales, the 
omipiler observes, has found either the 
inconvenience of conveying und refer- 
ving to many volumes, or the want of a 
guide im every direction from a dinate 
book. To supply such desideratuna’ is 
the abject of the present work. In the 
preface we have a shart review of the 
prineipal’ publications quoted in’ the 
body of the beok; an account’ of the. 
modes of travelling; ‘rand some short ob- 
servations on the Welsh language. The 
arrangement of the towns Is alphabetical: 
at the head of each division, are refer- 
ences to the places whence the difierent 
tourists. whose productions have lbeen’ 
consulted, came; andat the end of each 
division are noted ‘the places to which 
they passed. Among the more valuable 
articles we may mention the accounts of 
Chepstow, Conwy, Hafod, and Mon-. 
mouth. © At the end; is a. list of plants, 
and several copious indexes. 
Here also we have to notice “ Dom 
Boc ; a Translation of the Record called 
Domesday, so far as nelutes to. the County 
of York, including also Amounderness, 
Lonsdale, and Fur ROSS, in Lancashire ; 
and such paris of Westmoretansl and 
Cumberlo4ed as are contained in the Sur- 
“ey. Also the Counties of Derby, Not- 
tinghum, Rutiand, und Lincoln.) With 
an ‘Tn moelies tion, Glossary, and Endexes.”

It will be in tre recellection of most: 
readers, that a. printed copy o] the ori- 
vial Bscand appeared under his Majes- 
ty’s auspices so long ago as 170, for the

parliament, and of the evant libraries 
of the kingdom. 
A Glossarial Tudex to the work was, a 
few years after, published by Mr, Kel- 
ham; and partial illustrations; of if have 
appeared in subsequent warks of dif. 
ferent kinds, but principally; in county- 
histories, such as those of D¢rset, Leices- 
tarshire, and, Surney. Mr. Baw id en, in 
the event of his present ef ort suveeed-

the public, preposes to cdntinne his la-
