Papers of the British School at Borne, Vol. IL (22

Albemarle Street. 30s.)—This volume consists of a reproduction of a hundred and seventy drawings of Roman monuments, dating from the early part of the sixteenth century, and attributed to a certain Andreas Coner. The originals are in the Soane Museum, and it is needless to enlarge upon the utility of the publication. We may take the opportunity of commending to our readers the case of the Romids Schd151. Its income is less than £600, and is unequal to its expenditure. When one sees the sums that are continually paid for the gratification of fads and caprices— perhaps it would be prudent not to specify them—one is ashamed to know that such undertakings as these are starved for want of help.
