In One Volume, post 8vo. 427 pages, with two Plates, 7s.

THE REVOLUTIONS OF THE GLOBE FAMILIARLY DESCRIBED: By Alexander Bertrand, M.D. &c. &c. &c.

The above work, it is hoped, will prove to the general reader in this department of science what Dr. Lindley's "Ladies' Botany" is doing for that delightful pursuit.

"'The Revolutions of the Globe,' by Dr. Bertrand, is one of the most agreeable we have met with. The object of the Author is to convey to the idlest and least learned reader an idea of the wonders of Geology. To accomplish his intention in a manner which requires the easiest, and admits with propriety of the most trifling mode of treatment, he addresses his nineteen letters to a lady. This matter consists of the striking facts of Geology, rather than of a view of the principles, or a statement of the evidence, on which they rest. His manner of discussion will be best shown by some specimens. The surface of the globe is not a new subject; yet see how interesting our author makes it."—Spectator, January 31.

THE MOSAIC DELUGE. Mr. George Fairholme's New and conclusive Natural Demonstrations both of the Fact and Period of the Mosaic Deluge, and of its having been the only event of the kind that has ever occurred upon the Earth; illustrated by numerous Wood-cuts, &c., executed in the best manner, will be published early in May, in 1 vol. 8vo.

THE CARTOONS OF RAPHAEL.

Second Edition, in 8vo. 8s. 6d. cloth boards.

CARTONENSIA; or an Historical and Critical Account of the Tapestries in the Vatican; copied from the designs of Raphael of Urbino, and of such of the Cartoons whence they were woven, as are now in preservation. With Notes and Illustrations. To which are subjoined, Remarks on the Causes which retard the progress of the higher departments of Paintings in this country. By the Rev. W. Gunn, B.D. Second Edition, with Additions.

"Mr. Gunn's commentary upon this beautiful production (the Nativity) is well written, and contains canons of criticism which we conceive to be in the most correct taste.... Indeed we would strongly recommend 'Cartonensia' to general attention. It bears about it all the marks of a liberal and accomplished mind, cordially devoted to the prosperity of the fine arts; and we trust that its criticisms, founded, as they generally are, in good sense, and always elegantly expressed, will exercise a salutary influence upon the public taste."—Monthly Review.

"In dismissing this work, we would recommend it most cordially to our friends. The artist will find much information, coupled with much admirable advice, in its pages, while the general reader will be amused with its details, and instructed by the remarks, both historical and theological, which he will meet with in perusing it. Mr. Gunn is a man of much critical acumen, softened down and polished by his gentlemanly feelings, and amiable spirit; and we think that few will arise from his book without sensations of gratitude for his labours in its compilation, and of satisfaction for the information he so pleasingly communicates."—Arnold's Magazine of the Fine Arts.

Mr. Forbes's new Work on Horticulture.

HORTICULTURAL TOUR THROUGH GERMANY, BELGIUM, and FRANCE, in 1836. By James Forbes, F.H.S. &c., Author of "Hortus Woburnensis; or, the Gardens and Grounds of Woburn Abbey." In royal and demy 8vo.

NEW POEM.

In 8vo. 6s. 6d., cloth boards.

ALFRED THE GREAT. A Poem. By G. L. Newnham Collingwood, Esq., Editor of the 'Life and Correspondence of Admiral Lord Collingwood.'

"At any other time than the present, when the tide of literary taste is running against poetry of the severely heroic character, the appearance of such a work as 'Alfred the Great' would have excited a general interest, and ensured the author a high place among the writers of his country. * * * We may add that the interest of the poem never flags, and has the additional merit of keeping pace with the progress of the story from its commencement to its conclusion."—New Monthly Mag., August 1.

THE HON. and REV. WILLIAM HERBERT'S NEW WORK, ON AMARYLLIDACEÆ. Illustrated by numerous Plates, coloured and plain, with a Treatise on Hybrid Vegetables subjoined, may be certainly expected in the course of the present month. 1 vol. royal 8vo. 1l. 5s.; or coloured 1l. 18s.

PERSONAL SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING, &c. 1s.

Directions for ensuring Personal Safety during storms of Thunder and Lightning; and for the right application of Conductors to Houses and other Buildings. By John Leigh, Esq. Third Edition. With the Instructions of the Humane Society.

"The whole of the little tract being of that plain, sensible, and accurate character, as particularly to enlighten not only the ignorant peasant, but the public in general, as to the best ascertained means of escaping destruction, or damage, from thunder storms."—Monthly Review, May 1.

Third Edition, with a Plate and two Diagrams. 1s. or 1s. 6d. bound and gilt.

WHAT IS A COMET, PAPA? or, a familiar Description of Comets; more particularly Halley's Comet. To which is prefixed, a Concise Account of the other Heavenly Bodies. By Rosina Maria Zornlin.

"A timely question, answered after the German fashion, by telling plainly, 'all, how, and about it.' The first, a conversation among a family of clever children, the boy relating the leading truths of Astronomy to his sisters, while they are waiting the return of their parents: the second part is papa's own account of the passing Comet, in answer to the question which forms the title. Both are very well done, and the authoress deserves great credit for the thought and its realization."—Atlas, August 28.

Also, by the same Author,

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE; or, The Two Almanacs; containing more Inquiries in Astronomy. Plate and Diagrams, 1s.; or 1s. 6d. bound and coloured.

"Just the sort of book we love to put into the hands of young persons. It invites them to inquiry, and makes them laudably curious. There is in this little work much valuable information, both on the solar system and on Comets, which, just now, will be peculiarly attractive."—London Journal.

"There are editions on common paper which may be had for a trifle, and one of which should be in every family within the nation, where ignorance or children may be found. We cannot conceive of any means by which the majesty and power of the Almighty is to be so easily and forcibly impressed upon the uninformed mind, as by putting this little tract into the hands of such. That must be a heartless and wicked parent, who will not enjoy the earnestness and ingenuity of the thousand interrogatories that will thereafter be innocently proposed by the same inquirer."—Monthly Review.

THE YOUNG HORSEWOMAN'S COMPENDIUM OF THE MODERN ART OF RIDING.

In progressive Lessons; designed to give a secure and graceful seat on Horseback; at the same time so effectually to form the Hand, that, in a short time, perfect command of the Horse may be obtained. By Edward Stanley; with illustrative plates, 10s. bds.

"But we have said enough of this Manual, and have only to add that it is a very sensible and judicious publication."—Literary Gazette.

⁂ The Third and concluding Volume is in the Press, and will shortly be published, together with a Second Edition of Vol. I.

"Never before was such a book written in any language, so replete with those minute but indispensable particulars of practice; and by a writer who has personally performed his part throughout the whole of the practice. This is the true book of reference for every stud and training groom, and every jockey."—Vide Lawrence on the Horse, p. 297; also, The Sporting Magazine and British Farmer's Magazine.

GROUSE, PARTRIDGE, and PHEASANT SHOOTING.

Post Octavo, 8s. 6d.

THE OAKLEIGH SHOOTING CODE; containing 222 chapters relative to shooting Grouse, Partridges, Pheasants, &c. By Thomas Oakleigh, Esq., with numerous Notes. Edited by the Author of Nights at Oakleigh Old Manor Hall.

"We would advise all our sporting friends to buy this admirable digest, the first time they see it in any bookseller's shop; or—why—as well order it at once. It is the best thing of the kind extant."—Chambers's Edinburgh Journal.

"We have scarcely ever met with a volume containing so much light reading, and at the same time such a fund of instruction and practical advice to sportsmen, as the one now before us." * * Wigan Gazette, Oct. 14.

"Two hundred and twenty chapters of very useful hints."—Atlas.

"Since the publication of Daniel's Rural Sports we have seen nothing worthy to be compared with the canons or the Oakleigh Code."—Essex Mercury.

"Containing such a mass of information relative to shooting, that it ought to be in every sportsman's hands. Who would not wish to spend a week at the ancient and hospitable hall of the worthy 'Tom Oakleigh?'"—Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, Sept. 10.

* * * "Timely, therefore, is the appearance of Oakleigh Shooting Code; a manual for the tyro, and a book of reference to the veteran sportsman, who, though he may sneer at 'book-shooting,' as old farmers do at 'book-farming,' may yet condescend to pick up some useful hints in its pages." * * "It bears internal evidence of being the production of a real sportsman—one who has gleaned his knowledge from experience, who tests the value of theory by practice, and who, to a scientific acquaintance with his subject adds a hearty enthusiasm for the sport."—Spectator.

CHARGE of the RECORDER to the GRAND JURY of the City of Worcester, delivered at the last Epiphany Sessions. Published at the Request of the Magistracy and Council of the City. 2s.

LAOCOON; an Essay on the relative limits of Poetry and Painting; translated from the Original German of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, by William Ross, late Professor of Painting and Sculpture in the Andersonian University, Glasgow.

"We believe that this work is justly considered to have been Lessing's coup d'essai; and certainly, as translated by Mr. Ross, it is one of the most graceful and elegant pieces we ever perused. Its canons of criticism too, we cannot but feel, are the result of the profoundest reflection and most refined taste, being admirably calculated to enlighten the Critic, and to facilitate the studies of the Artist."—Monthly Review.

"A very elegant version of a beautiful critical essay, which has originated some of the finest views of Art."—Literary Gazette.

"Lessing, if still living, might feel cause to rejoice at the exhibition of his treatise in a dress so likely to preserve its value. The original notes show a refined taste and correct judgment."—New Monthly Magazine, Sept. 1836.

SKETCHES in GREECE and TURKEY, with the Present Condition & Future Prospects of the Turkish Empire. 8vo. 9s. 6d.

The FACTORY QUESTION and the TEN HOURS' BILL. By Robert Hyde Greg, Esq. 3s.

This pamphlet contains a concise history of Factory Legislation down to the present time, with copious extracts from the Evidence and Reports of the Factory Commissioners of 1833, and from the various reports, to the Secretary of State, of the Factory Inspectors since that period. It enters fully into the argument of the comparative healthiness of factory employment, and into the policy of further curtailing the hours of labour. It contains also the most recent and authentic information respecting the progress of foreign manufactures—the quantity produced by the machinery in the continental and American cotton mills, compared with those of England; and it shows the precarious tenure on which the cotton manufacture of this country is at present held.
