The Antiquary. (Elliot Stock.)—This is the twentieth volume of this

" magazine devoted to the study of the past," and contains the issue during the second half of 1889. The interest is, as usual, of a very varied kind. Mr. Talfourd Ely, for instance, describes a " Visit to the Shrines of the Kabiri." Mr. C. A. Ward gives a sketch of the life of Isaac Barrow. We have a Winchester citizen's bill of expenses during his visit on municipal business to London in 1581, a series of articles on " The Records of St. Thomas's Hospital," and many other matters, among which must not be forgotten the chronicle of the proceedings of Anti- quarian Societies.
