Historical Sketches of Old Charing. By James Galloway. (John Bale,

Sons, and Danielsson. 10s. 6d. net.)—These interesting studies in the history of London were written by Dr. Galloway at the reqnest of his students at Charing Cross Hospital, for the benefit of which admirable institution they are to be sold. They deal chiefly with the hospital and chapel of St. Mary Roneevall, founded in the reign of Henry 1IL at the village of Charing—where Northumberland Avenue now runs. Dr. Galloway appends an account of Charing Cross and the other monuments to Eleanor of Castile.
