THE FIRST VOLUME of The Camden Library, recently
published, is entitled
THE ANTIQUITIES AND CURIOSITIES
OF THE EXCHEQUER.
By HUBERT HALL, F.S.A., of H.M.’s Public Record Office.
With illustrations by RALPH NEVILL, F.S.A., and an Introduction by Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, Bart., F.R.S., F.S.A.
‘This, the first volume of a valuable series, is perhaps one of the most interesting works of its kind. The facts and anecdotes which are woven into the pages are curious, and no doubt will be perfectly new to many readers.’—Public Opinion.
‘Will be immensely superior to the ordinary kind of serial handbooks, if Mr. Hubert Hall’s scholarly and well-written book is a fair sample.... His account of the origins of our national finance is full of valuable information which cannot be easily found elsewhere.’—St. James’s Gazette.
‘It does great credit to the persevering industry, discrimination,
and literary skill of its author.’
—Daily Telegraph.
