Abstract
THIS book appears to us a very useful one. The author observes that Wilson and Berkeley are out of date, that Hobkirk's synopsis is too compressed to be of great service to the less practised collector, and that Braithwaite's great work is expensive and at present incomplete. There is, therefore, room for a new work on the subject, and the present volume appears to be a very praiseworthy attempt to fill the vacant space.
