Archwologia Oxoniensis : Supplement to Part II. By J. Park

Harrison, M.A. (II. Frowde.)—Mr. Harrison gives some inter- resting particulars about Saxon architecture, with a special examination of the claim of the tower of St. Michael's Church, Oxford to belong to that period. His judgment is in the affirma- tive. Three plates give specimens of architectural ornament from pre-Conquest manuscripts. So-called Norman work may be advan- tageously compared with these.
