Argyllshire Galleys. By Lord Archibald Campbell. (Charles J. Clark. 3s.

65.)-The "galley" is the semblance of a ship, and was largely used in mediaeval times LIS an heraldic symbol. Lord Archibald Campbell gives in this volume twenty-four examples from tomb slabs and crosses, pointing out the varieties of rigging, &c. The number of examples might have been very much increased, as the figure occurs very frequently. The author has something to say about other subjects of a kindred nature, and we do not doubt that his book, giving, as it does, illustrations and explanations, will be found useful by the Scottish antiquary.
