TESTAMENTA VETUSTA : Being Illustrations from WILLS of Manners and Customs, as well asof the Descents and Possessions of many distinguished Families.From the Reign of Henry the Second to the Accession of QueenElizabeth. By NICHOLAS HARRIS NICOLAS, Esq. Barrister at Law ; Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. Of all evidence for illustrating the manners and customs of ourAncestors, their furniture, dresses, plate, jewels, armour, books, andin short every thing connected with their domestic arrangements orcostume, as well as their pedigrees and possessions. Wills are un-questionably the most satisfactory. It is, therefore, unnecessary topoint out the highly valuable information which abstracts of aboveone thousand testaments of individuals in every rank of life must af-ford to the Antiquary and Historian ; whilst the data which theypresent for tracing the gradual approach to existing manners, and ofcomparing the habits of past times with those of the present, canscarcely fail to interest the Philosopher. 2.The LIFE of WILLIAM DAVISON, Secretary of State and Privy Counsellor to Queen Elizabeth.

In ^vo, price 125. in boards.*< This Volume opens to us some new and important sources ofinformation on two subjects of the higiiest interest to every Britishreade, — the fate of Mary Queen of Scots, and the conduct of Eliza-beth. — Reflecting and enquiring readers will, we are persuaded,eagerly turn to the pages of Mr. Nicolas ; and they will join with usin tendering thanks to the Author, as well for the moral tendency, asthe historical curiosity of his work." — Literary Museum. 36 3. Shortlj will be published, in one Quarto Volume, beantifally printed^imd illuitrated bj upwards of 100 wood>cuts of Arms, THE SIEGE OF CARLAVEROCK: A FRENCH POEM, containing an account of the Siege and Cap-ture of Carlaverock Castle, in Scotland, by King Edward the First, inJune 1301, with a description of the Arms and merits ot each Knightin the English Arroj who was present on the occasion, written soonafter that event. With a Translation ; an Historical and Topogra-phical Account of the Castle ; and Memoirs of all the Individuals whoare mentioned. By NICHOLAS HARRIS NICOLAS, Esq. Barrister at Law; Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. This interesting Poem merits much more attention than it has hi-therto received ; for the Historical and Heraldic information which itcontains, is not only important in relation to the event and the indi-viduals commemorated, but it is peculiarir deserving of notice fromits presenting the earliest blazon of Armonal bearings which is extant;aud thus proves that Heraldry was reduced to a science at so remotea period as the close of the Thirteenth Century. In an Historicalpoint of view, it is scarcely less valuable, for the account of the Siegeof Carlaverock Castle by the few contemporary Chroniclers whospeak of it, does not exceed a few words ; whilst by many of them itis wholly unnoticed. The Poem was copied from a MS. in the Col-lege of Anus, which is certified by Glover, Somerset Herald, to havebeen transcribed from the original in 1587 ; and has been most care-fully collated with a cmitemporary copy in the British Museum, thevarious readings between which are inserted in notes. As its authen-ticity has been established by incontrovertible evidence, the volumewill, it is presumed, possess singular claims upon the attention of theHistorian, the Antiquary, and the Herald«
