SOME BOOKS OF TIIE WEEK.

[Under this heading we notice such Books of the week as have not boot resorted for review in other form.] We have received Volume II. of Some Old Devon Churches, by John Stabb. (Simpkin, Marshall and Co. is. 6d. net.)—The first volume appeared in 1909, and has proved, we are glad to hear, a great success. It gave details as to dates, styles, monuments, registers, rood screens, &c., of some hundred churches. The volume now before us treats of one hundred and seven, and there yet remain enough to furnish material for a third volume. This is promised if the reception of the second is favourable. Certainly it is a work to be possessed. The epitaphs given should alone suffice to make good this claim. The illustrations number 162.
