Messrs. Batrroer and BRAVLEY, who arc fellow labourers in the

field of antiquarian topography, have combined their expe- rience and research in elucidation of the History of the Ancient Palatial Edifices of Westminster, of which the late Houses of Parliament formed an important portion. The descriptions will be illustrated by views of the old buildings in the various stages of their existence. Those of the ruins of the Houses of Parlia- ment, in the First Part, are neat and spirited etchings, from sketches by BILLINGS. This work possesses a more than tem- porary interest, as a record, historical and pictorial, of edifices which have become famous as the seat of Government, and which ,perhaps in a year or two will no longer exist.
