r Barclay, from whose article on Stonehenge inThe Illustrated Archaeologist we have borrowed an excellent illus-tration (see p. 137), has also a lengthy paper on the same subjectin the Journal of the British Archaeological Association. In thispaper Mr. Barclay sets forth his views of the astronomical sym-bolism of the ancient temple, and illustrates his points with severaldiagrams, which go far to prove them. A Government Return has recently been issued, being aDigest of the Endowed Charities in the County of Wilts, theparticulars of which are recorded in the Books of the CharityCommissioners for England and Wales, but are not recorded inthe General Digest of Endowed Charities in that county, 1867-9.A large number of entries relate, of course, to money left forcharitable purposes since the date of the last return, but a notice-able feature is the large number of Trusts in connection withNonconformist bodies, many of which one would have thoughtshould have appeared in previous returns.
