The Antiquities of Hastings and the Battlefield. By Thomas Holwell

Cole. (St. Leonard's : Burg.)-This volume consists of two papers, read before different associations, and published at the request of the hearers. Such a "request of friends" we can fully appreciate. The result is a most useful and interesting little book, and, the description of the battle of Hastings in particular deserves to be circulated beyond the neigh- bourhood.
