Just published, in One handsome Volume, 8vo., profusely illustrated with Engravings by JEWITT, price One Guinea,

CONQUEST to the END of the THIRTEENTH CENTURY, with numerous
Illustrations of Existing Remains from Original Drawings.

Period. By T. HUDSON TURNER.

Oxford: JOHN HENRY PARKER; and 377. Strand, London.

THE LANSDOWNE SHAKSPEARE.

On July 1st will be published, Part I., price 4s.,

To be completed in Four Monthly Parts, to form one Handsome
Volume, crown 8vo.

This beautiful and unique edition of Shakspeare will be produced
under the immediate and auspicious encouragement of the Most Noble
the Marquis of Lansdowne.

It is anticipated that its triumph as a Specimen of the Art of
Printing will only be exceeded by the facility and clearness which
the new arrangement of the text will afford in reading the works
of "the mightiest of intellectual painters." Its portability will
render it as available for travelling, as its beauty will render
it an ornament to the drawing-room.

Every care has been taken to render the text the most perfect yet
produced. The various folios and older editions, together with the
modern ones of Johnson, Steevens, Malone, Boswell, Knight, and
Collier (also Dyce's Remarks on the two latter), have been
carefully compared and numerous errors corrected.

The Portrait, after Droeshout, will be engraved by H. ROBINSON in
his first style.

London: WILLIAM WHITE, Pall Mall; and to be obtained of all
Booksellers.

NIMROUD OBELISK.--A reduced _Model_ of this interesting Obelisk is just published, having the Cuneiform Writing, and five rows of figures on each side, carefully copied from that sent by Dr. Layard to the British Museum. The Model is in Black Marble, like the original, and stands twenty inches high. _Mr. Tennant_, 149. Strand, London, will be happy to show a copy, and receive Subscribers' names. He has also Models of several Egyptian Obelisks.

Price 2_s._ 6_d._; by Post 3_s._

ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING To Mesmerism. Part I. By the
REV. S. R. MAITLAND, DD. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the
late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.

"One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever
read."--_Morning Herald._

"This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a
larger work, will well repay serious perusal."--_Ir. Eccl. Journ._

"A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the
practices of modern Mesmerism."--_Nottingham Journal._

"Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the
'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or
wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and
hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."--_London
Medical Gazette._

"The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say
important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most
successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this
brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to
those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or _angry_ (for it has
come to this at last) with the subject."--_Dublin Evening Post._

"We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by
one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the
genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much
disputed."--_Woolmer's Exeter Gazette._

"Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the subject
for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part the
result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in it
which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content
ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet
itself."--_Brit. Mag._

Next week, Volumes III. and IV. of

THE JUDGES OF ENGLAND. By EDWARD FOSS, F.S.A. Comprehending the

Lately published, price 28_s._

VOLUMES I. and II. of the same Work; from the Conquest to the end
of Henry III., 1066 to 1272.

"A work in which a subject of great historical importance is
treated with the care, diligence, and learning it deserves; in
which Mr. Foss has brought to light many points previously
unknown, corrected many errors, and shown such ample knowledge of
his subject as to conduct it successfully through all the
intricacies of a difficult investigation; and such taste and
judgment as will enable him to quit, when occasion requires, the
dry details of a professional inquiry, and to impart to his work
as he proceeds, the grace and dignity of a philosophical
history."--_Gent. Mag._

THE SEVEN PERIODS OF ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED.
An Elementary Work, affording at a single glance a comprehensive
view of the History of English Architecture, from the Heptarchy to
the Reformation. By EDMUND SHARPE, M.A., Architect.

"Mr. Sharpe's reasons for advocating changes in the nomenclature
of Rickman are worthy of attention, coming from an author who has
entered very deeply into the analysis of Gothic architecture, and
who has, in his 'Architectural Parallels,' followed a method of
demonstration which has the highest possible
value."--_Architectural Quarterly Review._

"The author of one of the noblest architectural works of modern
times. His 'Architectural Parallels' are worthy of the best days
of art, and show care and knowledge of no common kind. All his
lesser works have been marked in their degree by the same careful
and honest spirit. His attempt to discriminate our architecture
into periods and assign to it a new nomenclature, is therefore
entitled to considerable respect."--_Guardian._
