The Antiquary, Vol. XX/X. (Elliot Stock.)—This volume is as interesting
as usual. We may notice especially an excellent article on "An Elizabethan Schoolboy and his Book,' by Mr. A. M. Bell. Mr. Bell, we gather, picked up the book for half-a- crown at a bookstall, and presented it to the library of B.N.C., Oxford. It is an illustrated edition of " Csesar de Bello Gallico," dating from the sixteenth century, and has had various owners, among them a Westminster schoolboy, John Silo by name, apparently a chorister (some of his numerous annotations and scribblings are of a musical kind). Another interesting article in this part is on "The Guanches, the ancient inhabitants of Canary," by Captain Gambier, RN. A third may be mentioned, "King Henry VI. Proceedings as to his Proposed Canonisation," by Mr. Edward Peacock.
