    narrative, but througli the medium of inferen(;e and induction (one of the most delightful exercises of an intelligent antiquary) in the compotuses of the religious houses. To the stores of this nature, which are reposited in the libraries of ancient families, and still perhaps unexplored, the author looks with anxious expectation: but in the Harleian and Cotton libraries and above all, in the indigested, but almost inexhaustible, collections of Dods- worth, he reckons with certainty on much original intelligence. Architecture, ancient and modern, civil, military, and ecclesiastic, will always be regarded in this work with peculiar attention ; and the magnifi- cent seats of the nobility and gentry, with which this great county abounds togetlier with the distinguished specimens of art in pointing and sculpture,' with which they are severally adorned, will not fail to receive a due tribute of respect. The entire text of Domesday, Leland's Itinerary, and many portions of that of Camden will be incorporated with the work. The late returns of population will also be subjoined to the account of every parish. Subsidiary to the Author's department in this laborious work are those of the draftsman and the engraver, concerning which the public have a n^ht to be informed, that no expense will be spared to render the History of Yorkshire what, in the present state of the national taste, can alone procure for it a favourable reception—truly magnificent. To this end distinct but superior artists will be engaged for subjects of landscape and architecture. It is sufficient to name J. M. W. Turner, Esq. R.A. in the former of these departments, and Mr. Buckler in the latter. The following subjects, d rawn by J. IVI. W, Turner, R. A. are engrav- ing by Messrs. Landseer, J. Pye, Middiman, J. Scott, J. Le Keox, H. Le Keux, W. Smith, &c. <Scc. &c.
