for the general furnishing of Bed-rooms. HEAL & SON, Bedstead and Bedding Manufacturers. 196. Tottenham Court Road. * * * * * 8vo., price 21s. SOME ACCOUNT of DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE in ENGLAND, from the Conquest to the end of the Thirteenth Century, with numerous Illustrations of Existing Remains from Original Drawings. By T. HUDSON TURNER. "What Horace Walpole attempted, and what Sir Charles Lock Eastlake has done for oil-painting--elucidated its history and traced its progress in England by means of the records of expenses and mandates of the successive Sovereigns of the realm--Mr. Hudson Turner has now achieved for Domestic Architecture in this country during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries."--_Architect._ "The writer of the present volume ranks among the most intelligent of the craft, and a careful perusal of its contents will convince the reader of the enormous amount of labour bestowed on its minutest details, as well as the discriminating judgment presiding over the general arrangement."--_Morning Chronicle._ "The book of which the title is given above is one of the very few attempts that have been made in this country to treat this interesting subject in anything more than a superficial manner. "Mr. Turner exhibits much learning and research, and he has consequently laid before the reader much interesting information. It is a book that was wanted, and that affords us some relief from the mass of works on Ecclesiastical Architecture with which of late years we have been deluged. "The work is well illustrated throughout with wood-engravings of the more interesting remains, and will prove a valuable addition to the antiquary's library."--_Literary Gazette._ "It is as a text-book on the social comforts and condition of the Squires and Gentry of England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, that the leading value of Mr. Turner's present publication will be found to consist. "Turner's handsomely-printed volume is profusely illustrated with careful woodcuts of all important existing remains, made from drawings by Mr. Blore and Mr. Twopeny."--_Athenaeum._ JOHN HENRY PARKER, Oxford; and 377. Strand, London. * * * * * Literary and Musical Curiosities, the Collection of Richard Clark, Esq., Gentleman of H.M. Chapels Royal, Author of "An Account of the National Anthem," &c.
