The Canadian journal of science, literature and history. 558 LAPIDARIUM SEPTENTRIONALE, Bruce frequently refers to it, and often uses its suggestions; as in a similar way, the omission by Professor Hiibner, of reference to Britanno-Roman Inscriptions, is plainly due to his having read only parts of that volume, but the same excuse cannot be pleaded in Dr. Bruce's behalf, as he was evidently familiar with the whole of it. The omissions in the " Additions, Notes, and Emendations," of which we have given specimens, are greatly to be regretted, as the volume is remarkably attractive, and affords the distant enquirer an excellent opportunity of inspecting well and faithfully-executed copies of the originals. In this respect it is far superior to Professor Hiibner's book, which has almost no illustrations; but the latter, it must be admitted, is better adapted for the use of the student, even in the limited range to which the Lapidarium Septentrionale is coii'- fined. Dr. Bruce's diligence and fidelity deserve the highest com- mendation (especially when we look back on the successive editions of " The Boman Wall"), and his editorial labors have been admirably seconded by artistical and typographical skill, but he has not produced a volume that can compete with foreign works in those scholarly characteristics that mark the successful pursuit of Latin Epigraphy^.
