THE CALENDAR OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH ILLUSTRATED. With Brief Accounts of the
Saints who have Churches dedicated in their Names, or whose Images are most
frequently met with in England; the early Christian and Medieval Symbols;
and an Index of Emblems. With numerous Woodcuts.
"It is perhaps hardly necessary to observe that this work is of an
archaeological, not of a theological character; the Editor has not
considered it his business to examine into the truth or falsehood of
the legends of which he narrates the substance; he gives them merely as
legends, and in general so much of them only as is necessary to explain
why particular emblems were used with a particular saint, or why
Churches in a given locality are named after this or that
saint."--_Preface._

THE SEVEN PERIODS OF ENGLISH CHURCH ARCHITECTURE. Defined and Illustrated
by EDMUND SHARPE, M.A., Architect, M.I.B.A. An Elementary Work showing at a
single glance the different Changes through which our National Architecture
passed, from the Heptarchy to the Reformation. Twelve Steel Engravings and
Woodcuts.
Each Period, except the First, is illustrated by portions of the Interior
and the Exterior of one of our Cathedral Churches of corresponding date,
beautifully engraved on Steel, so presented as to enable the Student to
draw for himself a close comparison of the characteristic features which
distinguish the Architecture of each of the SEVEN PERIODS, and which are of
so striking and simple a nature as to prevent the possibility of mistake.
The First, or Saxon Period, contains so few buildings of interest or
importance, as to render its comparative illustration unnecessary, if not
impossible.

A TABLE OF ANTI-LOGARITHMS. Containing to Seven Places of Decimals, natural
Numbers, answering to all Logarithms from 0001 to 99999; and an improved
Table of Gauss's Logarithms, by which may be found the Logarithm to the sum
or difference of Two Quantities where Logarithms are given: preceded by an
Introduction, containing also the History of Logarithms, their
Construction, and the various Improvements made therein since their
invention. By HERSCHELL E. FILIPOWSKI. Second edition, revised and
corrected.
The publisher, having purchased the copyright and stereotype plates of
these tables, (published a few months ago at 2l. 2s.,) is enabled to offer
a corrected edition at the above reduced price.
_Testimonial of Augustus de Morgan, Esq._
"I have examined the proofs of Mr. Filipowski's Table of
Anti-Logarithms and of Gauss's Logarithms, and also the plan of his
proposed table of Annuities for three lives, constructed from the
Carlisle Table.
"The table of Anti-Logarithms is, I think, all that could be wished, in
extent, in structure, and in typography. For its extent it is unique
among modern Tables. Of accuracy I cannot speak, of course; but this
being supposed, I have no hesitation in recommending it without
qualification.
"The form in which Gauss's Tables are arranged will be a matter of
opinion. I can only say that Mr. Filipowski's Table is used with ease,
as I have found upon trial; and that its extent, as compared with other
tables, and particularly with other FIVE-FIGURE tables, of the same
kind, will recommend it. I desire to confine myself to testifying to
the facility with which this table can be used: comparison with other
forms, as to RELATIVE facility, being out of the question on so short a
trial.
"On the table of Annuities for three lives, there is hardly occasion to
say anything. All who are conversant with Life Contingencies are well
aware how much it is wanted. A. DE MORGAN."
GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street.
