Wakeman's Handbook of Irish Antiquities. Edited by John Cooke, M.A.

(John Murray. 10s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Cooke has accomplished his task successfully, so far as we have been able to test his work, bringing up to the present state of knowledge a book that has long been in good repute. The Neolithic and Bronze Ages of Ireland have left many remains of both kinds, those which are to be examined in situ and those which are preserved in museums. The reader will find these and other kindred matters systemati- cally treated in this volume. He must not forget to observe the curious fraud of the " Druids' Judgment Seat" figured on p. 40.
