Abstract
A FAMOUS handbook, written seventy years ago and now in its ninth edition, would call for little comment, if it were not that it is claimed by the editor, Mr. R. G. Collingwood, than whom no one is more competent to pronounce an opinion, that it is now the most complete account of the Wall that has appeared since 1867. Much matter of antiquarian interest that would now be considered irrelevant has been excised, the information has been brought fully up to date, and a bibliography appended. The utility of the handbook has been enhanced while its attractiveness as an account of the Wall is unimpaired.
