 226 MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES. and designed with the most scrupulous fidelity. Amongst these productions of Mr. Shaw's skilful pencil, ■will be noticed with pleasure several subjects which, by the liberality of their possessors, have been displayed at the meetings of the Institute ; for example, — the remarkable silver thurible recently rescued from Whittlesea Mere, and exhibited by Mr. Wells at the meeting in March (see page 195). "We hope to revert to Mr. Shaw's interesting and artistic labours on a future occasion. We would cordially invite the attention of our readers to the important periodical of which we formerly announced the establishment,^ — "The Museum of Classical Antiquities." Three quarterly numbers of this work are completed : they comprise memoirs of much interest, accompanied by illustrations which have rarely been equalled in any archaeological pubhca- tion. The representations of the remarkable paintings at Delphi, by Polygnotus, deserve especial commendation ; but independently of these attractions, the periodical has that sterling character, and must prove of such essential utility in promoting a taste for the higher branches of archaeology, that we desire it may meet with extensive encouragement. The notices of publications, English and Continental, form a very accept- able feature of the work. In the favourite department of architectural research, the valuable labours of Mr. HrDSOX Turner, in his beautiful volume produced by Mr. Parker, *' Domestic Architecture in England," claim especial attention. Mr. Sharpe's " Seven Periods of English Architecture," with Mr. Free- man's Essay on Window Tracery, are works of more than ordinary interest. A desideratum in this branch of Archaeology has at length been supplied by the establishment of an " Architectural Quarterly Review," just com- menced by Mr. Bell. A curious display of ancient municipal pageantry has been produced bj Mr. Muskett, of Norwich, entitled " Notices and Illustrations of the Costume, Processions, Pageants, «kc., formerly displayed by the Corporation of Norwich." Many readers will remember the curious exhibition of the last relic of old civic state, the " WLifilers," who appeared for their entertain- ment at the meeting of the Institute in that city, and whose performances figure in this unique volume. The Antiquaries of Wales are progressing with much activity : Mr. Free- man and the Rev. W. Basil Jones have finally arranged the publication of their " History of St. David's ; " and Mr. Morgan's " Memoirs of Owain Glyndwr," are announced ; both to be pubhshed by Mr. Mason, of Tenby, by whom and by Mr. Pickering subscribers' names are received. The Anniversary of the Cambriax Association at Tenby will commence on August 20. President, the Earl of Cawdor. In the interesting extracts from the Bursar's Accounts, at Winchester College, communicated by the Rev. William Gunner (see page 82), it was inadvertently stated that Wykeham gave commission to Simon, Bishop of Aghadoe, to consecrate the College Chapel. The suffragan who officiated on this occasion was the Bishop of Achonry, — " episcopus Accadeusis," in Ireland. He is named in Dr. Cotton's valuable Fasti, Connaught, p. 100. ' Archaeol.
