"T UB RELIIJUARY AND ILLUSTRATED ARCH . EOLOIIIST , " London , Bemrose and _ Sons , Limited , 23 , Old Bailey . E . C , and Derby . This is the opening number of a blication representing a brace of old and valued friends joined into one— "T HE RELIQUARY , " which was founded L iSGo by the late Llewellynn Jewitt , F . S . A ., and the "I LLUSTRATED ARCH . KOLOGIST , " which was started a „ ear and a half ago , and of which only six quarterly parts

t ad been issued , lhe two have been amalgamated because they possessed so many features in common , and because also it has appeared to the proprietors that by combining all the excellent points of both , the present publication will appeal more strongly to the general public , to whom matters of special interest , and requiring special knowledge to appreciate them , will be presented in a popular form . Thepublishershope that their purpose may , be achieved

by the pains and enterprise they intend devoting to the new serial , and the present number augurs well for the fulfilment of their hopes . The most noteworthy of its contents are a paper on the " Monumental Effigy at Llanermon-in-Yale , Denbighshire , " by Stephen W . Williams , F . S . A ., with coloured illustration ; " Wall Paintings , at Kirkby Hall , " by H . Swainson Cowper ,

F . S . A ., wilh illustrations ; and "A Survey of the Existing Remains of the Priory Church of the Holy Trinity , Micklecate , York , " by Walter Brook , with illustrations . The whole is under the editorship of j . Romilly Allen , F . S . A . Scot ., and as the journal is beautifully printed on good paper , as well as numerously and ably illustrated , we have every hope that it will prove a great success . It will be issued quarterly at the modest price of half-a-crown per number .
