By JAMES PELLER MALCOLM, F.S.A.

In 4to. Price 21. 2s. in Boards, the 4th Vol. being the Completion. "This may indeed be considered as an original History of London. No subject at all connected with the undertaking seems to have escaped the author's notice. The work is full of biographical notices, curious anecdotes, local peculiarities, charters, presentments, &c. &c.; and what is not less deserving praise, the extracts from Registers are so various, that certificates may be obtained if necessary of upwards of a thousand eminent names, exclusive of inscriptions on monuments. The labour of such an undertaking is so manifest, and its utility at the same time so obvious, that it seems a sort of public duty to promote it by all possible accommodation. We have no doubt that when finished this will be the most comprehensive account of London that has ever been published." Brit- Crit.

The Purchasers of the former Volumes are requested to complete their Sets.-The Three first Volumes may be had either separately or together. Price 5l. 5s. in Boards.

THE LIVES OF BRITISH STATESMEN.

By JOHN MACDIARMID, Esq.

In 1 vol. 4to. elegantly printed by Bensley, embellished with Four beautifully engraved Portraits by Freeman. Price 21. 2s. in Boards.

The Influence which the Conduct of our Statesmen has had on our National Character, renders their Biography an important and attractive Subject. This Volume contains the Lives of Sir Thomas More; Cecil, Lord Burleigh; Wentworth, Earl of Strafford; and Hyde, Earl of Clarendon.

The Plan of the Work is to unfold the private History and Character of the Man, to explain his political Views, and record his public Actions. The cotemporary History, the Delineation of Manners, and of the State of Knowledge, are introduced as far as was requisite to illustrate the Biographical Picture.

VOYAGES AND TRAVELS.

A DESCRIPTION OF LATIUM; OR, LA CAMPAGNA DI ROMA. In 1 vol. demy 4to. illustrated by Etchings by the Author, and a Map. 17. 11s. 6d. in Boards.

This Description is intended to give an Idea of the Cities, Towns, and Villages, in the Neighbourhood of Rome; of the Paintings, Sculptures, and Vestiges of Antiquity which they contain, as well as of the picturesque Scenery which surrounds them.

VOYAGES AND TRAVELS.

"It is not our fortune often to meet with a volume, where more information and entertainment are combined. Twenty etchings, by the author, are introduced in the volume. These are slight, but executed with remarkable neatness and precision. A map also of the Campagna is prefixed. The work is confidently, and we believe rightly, attributed to a lady already celebrated as a writer, the accomplished Cornelia Knight," Brit. Crit. "The writer of the work before us is entitled to considerable praise, for conveying nuch agreeable information in polite and easy diction. It may suffice to add, that no place of ancient or modern celebrity, within the confines of that part of the late Papal territory which was called Latium, is here passed without some remarks, interesting to those who either have visited or may visit Italy." M. Rev

The Sixth Edition. In 3 vols. Price 17. 4s. in Boards.

"After many a dull and uninteresting tract, to which our duty enforces attention, it is with a lively pleasure that we sit down to review the volumes before us. And the delight which we feel is similar to that of the traveller, who hath past from the long and sandy desert, where he had wandered with fatigue and anxiety, into a fine diversified country." Anti Jac.

"The author continues to merit the character he has long and deservedly maintained, of a sprightly and agreeable writer; of an intelligent, and often a sagaeious observer of human life and manners." Brit. Crit. "The English Gleaner has here formed a golden sheaf upon English ground." Anti Jac. "He is one of those writers who endeavour to speak to the heart and to disseminate those virtues which constitute at once the glory and the felicity of social man." M. Rev.

ON EDUCATION, &c.

from the German. By the Rev. WILLIAM TOOKE, F. R.S. In 2 large vols. 8vo. Price 17. 1s. in Boards.

The concurrent testimony of all the periodical journals, both at home and abroad, in favour of the Sermons and devotions of this celebrated divine, not only on account of the unaffected and captivating strain of eloquence in which they flow, but for the benign and truly evangelical spirit with which they are animated, is sufficiently known. That they breathe the pure and genuine spirit of christianity, and exhibit religiou "to our view in a form the most animated and alluring, is indeed their peculiar praise, as thousands can happily testify, from their own experience of the cheerful and placid influence they have had upon their heart and life. In short, they irresistibly recommend themselves to all who would see christianity rescued from the jargon of the schools, and imbibe it as the pure and immortal religion of the Son of God.
