MR. PARKER has recently published:—
A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN GRECIAN, ROMAN, ITALIAN, AND GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. Exemplified by upwards of Eighteen Hundred Illustrations, drawn from the best examples. Fifth Edition 3 vols. 8vo. cloth, gilt tops, 2l. 8s.
"Since the year 1836, in which this work first appeared, no fewer than four large editions have been exhausted. The fifth edition is now before us, and we have no doubt will meet, as it deserves, the same extended patronage and success. The text has been considerably augmented by the enlargement of many of the old articles, as well as by the addition of many new ones, among which Professor Willis has embodied great part of his Architectural Nomenclature of the Middle Ages; the number of woodcuts has been increased from 1100 to above 1700, and the work in its present form is, we believe, unequalled in the architectural literature of Europe for the amount of accurate information it furnishes, and the beauty of its illustrations."—Notes and Queries.
