London Directory for 1677, the Earliest Known list of
the London Merchants. See Review in the Times, Jan. 22.
%* This curious little volume has been reprinted verbatim from one of the only
two copies known to be in existence. It contains an Introduction pointing out
some of the principal persons mentioned in the list. For historical and genea-
logical purposes the little book is of the greatest value. Herein will be found the
originators of many of the great firms and co-partnerships which have prospered
through two pregnant centuries, and which exist some ot them in nearly the same
names at this d;iy. Its most distinctive feature is the early severance which it
marks of " goldsmiths that keep running cashes," precursors of the modern
bankers, from the mass of the merchants of London.
Now ready, price 5s.; by post, on roller, 5s. 4d.

Apollonius of Tyana: the Pagan or False Christ of the
Third Century. An Essay. By ALBERT REVILLE, Pastor of the Walloon
Church at Rotterdam. Authorized translation.
%* A most curious account of an attempt to revive Paganism in the third
century by means of a false Christ. Strange to say, the principal events in the life
of Apollonius are almost identical with the Gospel narrative. Apollonius was born
in a mysterious way about the same time as Christ. After a period of preparation
came a Passion, then a Resurrection, and an Ascension. In many other respects
the parallel is equally extraordinary.

ing matter.
