"Uncle Peter is a fellow of infinite humour. There is a concealed vain of sharp satire running through the substratum of his tales, which it requires something more than a superficial glance to enable a reader to detect. We shall anxiously look for his reappearance in another story shortly. He is a most amusing writer, and though his tales are professedly written for children, there is in them much from which even old heads might derive advantage and instruction."-SUNDAY TIMES.

URE. DICTIONARY OF ARTS, MANUFACTURES, & MINES;

Containing a clear Exposition of their Principles and Practice. By ANDREW URE, M.D. F.R.S. M.G.S. M.A.S. Lond.; M. Acad. N.L. Philad.; S. Ph. Soc. N. Germ. Hanov.; Mulii. &c. &c. 3d Edition, corrected. 8vo. illustrated with 1240 Engravings on Wood, 50s. cloth.

TURES, and MINES; being a Supplement to his Dictionary. By ANDREW URE, M.D. F.R.S. &c. 8vo. with numerous wood Engravings, 148. cloth.

"The great progress which our arts and manufactures have made within the few years since the publication of Dr. Ure's celebrated Dictionary-at once the ablest and most popular work of the kind which ever was written-has furnished ample materials for the present most acceptable addition to it; and we are happy to say that the author has made the best possible use of them. The practice of every branch of industry treated of is brought down to its latest existing state; the improvements introduced are clearly stated, and the value of them estimated with discrimination and sagacity. Much of the information is entirely new-to scientific literature at least, being either the result of investigations in which Dr. Ure has himself been professionally engaged (as an analytical chemist), or derived from private sources, to which he has had exclusive access."-MECHANICS MAGAZINE.

"A very complete account of the game in modern times, which, as it has become more a rage than ever, and nations look on its contests with almost national passions, every chess-player will find deserving of his best attention No trial of skill, certainly, excités such cariest desire to conquer; and those who are ambitious of victory must study Walker."-LITERARY GAZETTE.

SECOND SERIES. With Continuation of Mr. WATERTON's Autobiography. 2d Edition, fcp. 8vo. with a new Vignette by T. Creswick, A.R.A. 68. 6d. cloth.

It gives us hearty pleasure to meet with Mr. Waterton again. He is a charming writer. Candid, cordial, good hearted, and full of the most masculine sympathies. His AUTOBIOGRAPHY will rank with the most piquant and comprehensive pieces of that kind of writing in the language. His ESSAYS, with little of the learned pretences, have a store of cheerful wisdom in them which yields unfailing instructiveness and pleasure."-EXAMINER.

WEBSTER.-AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY; Comprising such subjects as are most immediately connected with Housekeeping: as, The Construction of Domestic Edifices, with the modes of Warming, Ventilating, and Lighting them-A description of the various articles of Furniture, with the nature of their MaterialsDuties of Servants-A general account of the Animal and Vegetable Substances used as Food, and the methods of preserving and preparing them by Cooking-Making Bread-The Chemical Nature and the Preparation of all kinds of Fermented Liquors used as Beverage-Materials employed in Dress and the Toilette-Business of the Laundry- Description of the various Wheel Carriages-Preservation of Health-Domestic Medicine, &c. &c. &c. BY THOMAS WEBSTER, F.G.S. &c.; assisted by the late Mrs. Parkes, Author of "Domestic Duties." 1 large vol. Svo. illustrated with nearly 1000 Woodcuts, 50s. cloth.

"The title-page sufficiently indicates the wide range of topics included in this most useful encyclopedia, and all are treated with a fulness which leaves nothing to be desired. It has been the object of the editor to combine science with practice, a knowledge of principles with the ordinary details and daily recurring duties of domestic life. In some departments of the work, Mr. Webster has been assisted by a lady whose qualifications are beyond dispute, and the result of their united labours is the production of a volume which exhausts the subject, and defies all competition. The work is richly ilustrated with woodcuts, adding greatly to its value. We strongly recommend every Isdy, and all others who are concerned in the management of domestic affairs, to make themselves familiar with Mr. Webster's volume, which must speedily be regarded as an indispensable book of reference to every housekeeper."-ECL. REV.

WIGAN (DR. A. L.)-THE DUALITY OF THE MIND,

Proved by the Structure, Functions, and Diseases of the Brain, and by the Phenomena of Mental Derangement; and shewn to be essential to Moral Responsibility. With an Appendix: -1. On the Influence of Religion on Insanity; 2. Conjectures on the Nature of the Mental Operations; 3. On the Management of Lunatic Asylums. By A. L. WIGAN, M.D. 8vo. 128. cl. The volume is full of knowledge, and the author's remarks, even when he fails to convince, are strikingly acute and ingenious. We apprehend that none who take an interest in the physical structure of the brain, and its intellectual action, or even who have a desire to ameliorate the condition of the insane, will delay to consult a work which contains views singularly original and sagacious on all those subjects. Combining from the writings of the most distinguished men who have studied the anatomy, the mental action, and the derangement of the brain, all the light their studies have enabled them to collect, with that derived from extensive experience of his own, Di. Wigan concentrates it into a focus, and pours it out upon his pages."-BRITANNIA,

WILKINSON.-THE ENGINES OF WAR, &c.

Being a History of Ancient and Modern Projectile Instruments and Engines of Warfare and Sporting; including the Manufacture of Fire-Arms, the History and Manufacture of Gunpowder, of Swords, and of the cause of the Damascus Figure in Sword Blades, with some Observations of Bronze, &c. By H. WILKINSON, M.R.A.S. 8vo. 9s, cloth.

WILLOUGHBY (LADY).- A DIARY,

Purporting to be by the LADY WILLOUGHBY, of the Reign of Charles I.; embracing some Passages of her Domestic History from 1635 to 1648. A New Edition, in a smaller size. To give additional interest to the work, it has been printed and bound in the style of the period to which it refers. Square fcp. 8vo. 8s. boards; or 13s. bound in morocco (old style). "So rarely have we met in our literary walks with so sweet a character as the Lady Willoughby, that we know not whether the feeling of regret or pleasure has prevailed as we have closed the volume of her beautiful fragment. She looks out upon us from her opened casement with such freshness and beauty, that we are compelled to regard her with admiration and delight. There is no aim at effect in what she has written, no indication of a woman's vanity: her whole mien is that of subdued grace and feminine loveliness. That the exquisite passages purporting to be extracts from her diary have flowed from a woman's pen, alone we cannot for a moment doubt. A woman only could have so justly and tenderly portrayed the character of an affectionate daughter, a gentle and loving wife, and a faithful and devoted mother. All this her ladyship, whether a real or an imaginary personage, has done, with a gracefulness and truth worthy of female nature in its best and loftiest mood. If her work is indeed only an imitation of days gone by, then the genius of Chatterton is far surpassed by that of the successful author. In taking leave of her unique and interesting book, we express our cordial hope that it will find its way to the toilette of every titled and untitled lady in Great Britain."-EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE.
