THE PRIMAEVAL ANTIQUITIES OF ENGLAND ILLUSTRATED BY THOSE OF DENMARK.

THE PRIMAEVAL ANTIQUITIES OF DENMARK.  By J.J.A.  WORSAAE, Member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Copenhagen.  Translated and applied to the Illustration of similar Remains in England, by WILLIAM J. THOMS, F.S.A., Secretary of the Camden Society.  With numerous Woodcuts. 8vo. 10s. 6d.

“The best antiquarian handbook we have eve met with—­so clear is its arrangement and so well and so plainly is each subject illustrated by well-executed engravings....  It is the joint production of two men who have already distinguished themselves as authors and antiquarians.”—­Morning Herald.

“A book of remarkable interest and ability....  Mr. Worsaae’s book is in all ways a valuable addition to our literature....  Mr. Thoms has executed the translation in flowing an idiomatic English, and has appended many curious and interesting notes and observations of his own.”—­Guardian.

“This work, which we desire to commend to the attention of our readers, is signally interesting to the British antiquary.  Highly interesting and important work.”—­Archaeological Journal.
