Guide to the Mediaeval Rosen at the British Museum. (Printed

by order of the Trustees. is. 6d.)—The British Mueeum seems to accept a very wide meaning of the word "Mediaeval." for in this book are included many seventeenth-century objects,—for instance, pipeclay wig-curlers, and even a Chelsea enamel of a century later. But apart from such eccentricities, the book is a Mine of curious information about the things made and used by our remote ancestors.
