By the Right Honourable Sir ROBERT ADAIR, G.C.B. With a Selection from his Despatches, published by permission of the proper Authorities. 8vo. 18s. cloth. "Sir Robert Adair's valuable Memoir needs no commendation. Its obvious utility, the nature of its contents, and the name of the author, will command the notice and appreciation of statesmen and historians."-ATHENEUM. "The vindication of Mr. Fox from the observations of Mr. Gentz and others is complete; and the Memoir is altogether a work which must be deferred to by future historians as the authority on the important affairs of which it treats."-TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

By LUCY AIKIN. 2 vols. post 8vo. with Portrait from Sir Godfrey Kneller's Picture, 18s. cloth. "In the execution of her labour, Miss Aikin has exercised praiseworthy diligence; she has ransacked among those fine and inexhaustible sources of personal and national interest-family papers, and has succeeded in rescuing from the obscurity of worm-eaten chests, and from the bondage of red tape, many documents which throw light on the most doubtful parts of Addison's history, and relieve his character from the reproaches attempted to be cast on it. She has produced, both in style and matter, a very interesting work, creditable to her feelings and talents, and honourable to her industry."-BRITANNIA. ALLAN. A PICTORIAL TOUR IN THE MEDITERRANEAN; Comprising Malta, Dalmatia, Turkey, Asia Minor, Grecian Archipelago, Egypt, Nubia, Greece, Ionian Islands, Sicily, Italy, and Spain. By J. H. ALLAN, Member of the Athenian Archæological Society, and of the Egyptian Society of Cairo. Imperial 4to. with upwards of Forty Lithographed Drawings, and 70 Wood Engravings, £3. 3s. cloth.

Edited by the Rev. WILLIAM SEWELL, B.D. of Exeter College, Oxford. 2 vols. fcp. 8vo. 9s. cloth. "Amy Herbert' paints nature to the life. It is by a Lady,' for whose soundness Mr. Sewell is sponsor. It is admirably adapted for the young of the higher classes, and we sincerely hope it may not be the fair author's last production."-CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER. BAILEY.-ESSAYS ON THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH, And on the Progress of Knowledge. By SAMUEL BAILEY, Author of "Essays on the Formation and Publication of Opinions," "Berkeley's Theory of Vision," &c. 2d Edition, revised and enlarged, 8vo. 9s. 6d. cloth. "Mr. Bailey is an admirable writer, both as to the general tone of thought and sentiment, and as to his style, which is clear, forcible, and elegant. On the class of subjects to which he has chiefly directed his attention, no man writes what is more worthy of being read, or what is acceptable to a larger class of readers. The peculiar quality of his powerful essays is the practical and useful conviction they produce of truths as obvious as they are important, but which are strangely neglected by the majority of mankind. We do not often meet with a book which we can more strongly recommend."-INQUIRER. BAILLIE'S (JOANNA) NEW DRAMAS. 3 vols. 8vo. 1. 16s. boards. BAILLIE'S (JOANNA) PLAYS ON THE PASSIONS. 3 vols. 8vo. 1. 11s. 6d. boards. BAKEWELL.-AN INTRODUCTION TO GEOLOGY.

By J. S. BAYLDON, Author of "Rents and Tillages." 1 vol. 8vo. 7s. 6d. boards. BEALE (ANNE). THE VALE OF THE TOWEY; Or, Sketches in South Wales. By ANNE BEALE. Post 8vo. 10s. 6d. cloth. Miss Beale has been sojourning in the Vale of the Towey; and has thrown her enjoyment of its scenery, and her observations on the manners of its rustic population, into the form of a series of sketches. These, either by original design, or by the mode in which she happened to cast them, become connected together, as the book proceeds, by means of the characters, incidents, and fortunes involved in a rural love-match,-which, like all other love, does not run quite smooth to its ending. The great merit of her book is its truth; which leaves a strong impression on the reader's mind."-SPECTATOR. BEDFORD CORRESPONDENCE.- CORRESPONDENCE OF JOHN, FOURTH DUKE OF BEDFORD, selected from the Originals at Woburn Abbey: with Introductions by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. 8vo. Vol. 1 (1742-48), 18s. cloth; Vol. 2 (1749-60), 15s. cloth. "The second volume of this publication includes a correspondence having relation to the period from the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle to the death of George II. Its most remarkable portion bears upon an important question on which there exist some differences of opinion at the present time, viz. the intrigues which led to the junction of the Duke of Newcastle and Pitt, in 1757. The letters respecting the state of Ireland under the Viceroyalty of the Duke of Bedford, also here, are not a little interesting."-MORNING HERALD. Vol. 3, to complete the work, is nearly ready. BELL.-LIVES OF THE MOST EMINENT ENGLISH POETS. By ROBERT BELL, Esq. 2 vols. fcp. 8vo. with Vignette Titles, 12s. cloth. BELL. THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA, From the Earliest Period to the Treaty of Tilsit. By ROBERT BELL, Esq. 3 vols. fcp. 8vo. with Vignette Titles, 18s. cloth. BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY Of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Half-volumes 1 to 7 (AA to AZ-ZUBEYDI, comprising the letter A), 8vo. 12s. each, cloth. *** Published Quarterly.-The work will probably not exceed Thirty Volumes. "We have carefully examined the articles under letter A, now completed, and have no reason to complain of any want of uniformity. There seems to have been, on the whole, a judicious apportioning of space, according to the importance of the individual. In order to secure this necessary uniformity, a society, which had no pecuniary profit as its end, was more likely to succeed than a private publisher, or body of publishers. In style, execution, and completeness, the lives are far superior to those of any biographical dictionary with which we are acquainted. The only one, indeed, with which, for completeness, it can be compared, is the French Biographie Universelle,' but in this respect it has very greatly the advantage." [The reviewer institutes a comparison in favour of the English work, too long to be quoted, and ends his paragraph as follows:]-So that the Society's Dictionary must be regarded as a labour not only for Great Britain, but for Europe. In all the articles there are two points in which they are fuller and more accurate than any previous work of the kind; and these are, the titles, dates, and places of publication of books, and their editions, and the sources from whence the materials have been derived for the biography." ATHENEUM. BLACK.-A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON BREWING, Based on Chemical and Economical Principles: with Formulæ for Public Brewers, and Instructions for Private Families. By WILLIAM BLACK. Third Edition, revised and corrected, with considerable Additions. The Additions revised by Professor Graham, of the London University. 8vo. 10s. 6d. cloth. "This comprehensive and informing essay will be found invaluable to the practical brewer and private families; to the former we recommend it as a work ably treating of their art; to the latter, as one which they will find an efficient and correct guide. This edition fully bears out the statement on the title-page-that it has been much enlarged and improved.'"-CHEMIST. BLAINE. AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RURAL SPORTS; Or, a complete Account, Historical, Practical, and Descriptive, of Hunting, Shooting, Fishing, Racing, and other Field Sports and Athletic Amusements of the present day. By DELABERE P. BLAINE, Esq. Author of "Outlines of the Veterinary Art," "Canine Pathology," &c. &c. Illustrated by nearly 600 Engravings on Wood, by R. Branston, from Drawings by Alken, T. Landseer, Dickes, &c. 1 thick vol. 8vo. £2. 10s. cloth. BLAIR'S CHRONOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL TABLES, From the Creation to the present time: with Additions and Corrections from the most authentic Writers; including the Computation of St. Paul, as connecting the Period from the Exode to the Temple. Under the revision of Sir HENRY ELLIS, K.H., Principal Librarian of the British Museum. Imperial 8vo. 31s. 6d. half-bound morocco. "The arrangement adopted in this extended edition of Dr. Blair's valuable work is most admirable; each table comprising the space of half a century, and exhibiting, in parallel columns, contemporary kings and rulers, the chief events that marked the history of their time, and the most celebrated characters who flourished in their age. As an aid to the study of history, and as a general work of reference, the tables are of great utility, and we are satisfied that, as their merit becomes known, no one to whom they are accessible will ever take up a history without having this volume open before him. It is to our view an indispensable companion to every collection of history, however small." BRITANNIA. |
