Leopards of England; and other Papers on Heraldry. By E.

E. Dorling. (Constable and Co. 7s. 641. net.)—Mr. Dorling gives a detailed historical account of the variations through which the Royal Arms of England have passed since the time of Richard I. The great charm of the book lies in the numerous coloured illus- trations contained in it ; for Mr. Dorling is a most admirable heraldic draughtsman. Of the other essays in the book perhaps the most interesting is that dealing with the "King's Beasts" on the newly restored Tudor bridge at Hampton Court.
