Rayham Abbey. (J. Hogarth, Haymarket.)—A series of photographs of these

well-known ruins, and of the seat of the Marquis Camden, in whose gardens they stand. The pictures are really admirable, though on rather too small a scale to bring out fully the architectural details. The same cause gives also a certain blackness and solidity to the shrubberies. The text is unpretending, giving the reader such in- formation as he needs to enjoy the photographs, and no more.
