THE ANTIQUARY’S BOOKS
Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. net each.
“The ‘Antiquary’s Books’ makes an excellent commencement in the first volume. It is in outward respects a shapely demy octavo in scarlet cloth, well printed, illustrated with thirty or forty plates.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“The publishers have been fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. Dr. Cox, one of the most learned and painstaking of antiquaries, as general editor of the series. Antiquarian books too often are as dry as matchwood, but there is no reason why they should be so, and the present volume abundantly testifies to this.”—Birmingham Post.
MESSRS. METHUEN are publishing a series of volumes dealing with various branches of English Antiquities.
It is confidently hoped that these books will prove to be comprehensive and popular, as well as accurate and scholarly; so that they may be of service to the general reader, and at the same time helpful and trustworthy books of reference to the antiquary or student. The writers will make every endeavour to avail themselves of the most recent research.
The series is edited by the well-known antiquary, J. Charles Cox, LL.D., F.S.A., Member of the Royal Archæological Institute, Corresponding Member of the British Archæological Association, and Council Member of the Canterbury and York Record Society, and of the British Numismatic Society. Each book is entrusted to an expert in the selected subject, and the publishers are fortunate in having secured the services of distinguished writers.
A special feature is made of the illustrations, which will vary, according to the requirements of the subjects, from 50 to 150. Some are in colour. The type is large and clear, the length of each volume is about 320 pages.
