    attention to their new Globe for the use of schools and private students . The accompanying illustration gives a good idea of this useful educational

    appliance . A neAv series , under new editorship , of the Antiquary will commence in January . It is proposed to devote special attention to

    folk-lore and legends , classical antiquities , genealogy , family history , & c . Amongst the contributors for 1890 we notice the names of Messrs . C . Roch Smith , J . P .
