Commercial Affairs of Nations, and to their relations with each
other, from the termination of the War in 1814, to the latest
period.

The Work has, until lately, been printed exclusively for the use of
Government, and of its Diplomatic Agents abroad; but the general
interest attached to these Collections has led to its publication.

"It is the most important work of reference that has appeared for
many years."--_Times_.

OPINIONS of the EUROPEAN PRESS on the EASTERN QUESTION. Translated or Extracted from Turkish, German, French, and English Papers, and Reviews. By DAVID ROSS, of Bladensburgh, Esq.

"* * * The papers from the '_Moniteur Ottoman_,' in the volume
before us, would produce no discredit to our English Journals; they
come to us with the strong impress of feeling, and conviction, and
truth. We recommend these papers to the special attention of our
readers, and we repeat our hopes and our wishes, that the whole
contents of this important volume will not remain unexplored by our
fellow countrymen."--_Scots Times_.

"These translations and extracts consist of some of the best Essays
and Papers that have been written since the commencement of the
year 1835, on the designs of Russia, the conditions and prospects
of Turkey, and the power, as well as duties, belonging to certain
of the great European kingdoms--England especially, to check the
encroachments of the Northern Autocrat. The Editor, from his
preface and notes, seems to have been a resident in Turkey for a
considerable time, and to possess a thorough acquaintance with the
Eastern question. We believe that the works which have been given
to the world, on the Eastern question, by the publishers of the
present volume, have greatly, nay mainly contributed to the
dissemination of sound views on this great subject; nor can we
doubt of those collected translations and extracts, so well chosen
and edited as they are, tending still further to enlighten the mind
and invigorate the arm of England in behalf of freedom and justice,
and to the effectual checking of the despot's ambition."--_Monthly
Review_.

* * * * *

ENGLAND and RUSSIA, being a Fifth Edition of England, France, Russia, and Turkey, revised and enlarged, 4_s._ 6_d._ boards.

"The action of Russia on Turkey--the treaty of Adrianople, of
Unkiar Skelessi--the convention of St. Petersburgh, have been so
completely laid bare, in 'England, France, Russia, and Turkey,'
that we need offer no remark on the subject; no attempt has been
made to controvert any of its positions; no doubt seems even to
remain as to their truth. That essay is too succinct to admit of
useful citation; it cannot be analysed, because it is itself a
condensed analysis of an overwhelming subject. We must content
ourselves with urging it on our reader's attention."--_British and
Foreign Review_, No. I.

"The effect of this publication on opinion in England, is, perhaps
unparalleled. The question interests now, because rendered
intelligible."--_Foreign Quarterly Review_, No. XXX.

EASTERN AFFAIRS.--A STATEMENT of FACTS. By A RESIDENT AT CONSTANTINOPLE. 8vo. Second Edition. 1_s._ 6_d._

"... And a clearer or more incontrovertible statement as to the
present posture of affairs in the East was certainly never penned.
It is evidently the production of a man who has not only been a
long time in Turkey, but has lived there under auspices which gave
him access to the most infallible sources of information."--_Times,
Oct_. 1.

extensively circulated throughout the country."--_Chronicle, March

PHENOMENA OF THE EARTH.

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

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. 8_s._ 6_d._ 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._

NEW POEM.

In 8vo. 6_s._ 6_d._, 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. 1_l._ 5_s._; or coloured 1_l._ 18_s._

PERSONAL SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING, &c. 1_s._

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. 1_s._ or 1_s._ 6_d._
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, 1_s._; or 1_s._ 6_d._ 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, 10_s._ 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 ENGLISH RACE HORSE.

A TREATISE ON THE CARE, TREATMENT, AND TRAINING OF THE ENGLISH RACE HORSE; with important Details applicable to bettering the Condition of Horses in general. By R. DARVILL, V.S. to the Seventh Hussars. Illustrated by plates. Vols. I. and II. 8vo. £1. 1_s._ each.

[***] 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, 8_s._ 6_d._

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._

In 8vo. with an Illustrated Title, Price 15_s._ cloth boards.

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. 9_s._ 6_d._

The FACTORY QUESTION and the TEN HOURS' BILL. By ROBERT HYDE GREG, Esq. 3_s._

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.

Each Number contains eight finely-coloured Portraits, from life, of the handsomest Flowering Plants and Shrubs grown in this country, accompanied by their History, Treatment in Cultivation, Propagation, &c.

No. V. of Vol. X., New Series, was published May 1, 1837.

The previous Volumes may be had separately, £.2 9_s._ each.

[***] All the Numbers which were out of print are now re-printed.

"This Series, placed under the superintendence of Professor
Lindley, comes forth with increased splendour of illustration, and
increased accuracy of description. The present number contains many
plants and shrubs, of extreme beauty, delineated and coloured, so
as almost to rival the tints of nature, and bestow perpetuity on
her loveliest, yet most transitory, productions. The letter-press,
in addition to the ordinary information, as to the habits, mode of
culture, and organization of the plant, occasionally introduces
points of vegetable physiology, or observations respecting its
economical uses, which possess much interest."--_Athenæum._

"The Botanical Register, from containing most or all of the new
plants introduced by the Horticultural Society, from the great care
with which its plates are executed, and the judicious remarks on
culture and general habit, by Dr. Lindley, is, in consequence, the
superior publication."--_Loudon's Magazine of Botany, &c._

"Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this
work."--_Horticultural Cabinet._

* * * * *

LADIES BOTANY. In Two Volumes. By Dr. LINDLEY, Editor of the _Botanical Register, Fossil Flora of Great Britain, &c. &c._ Third Edition. 8vo. Vol. I, with numerous illustrative plates, 16_s._, and finely coloured, 25_s._

"We consider it quite needless to recommend this work: it must find
its way into the library of every lady, and it ought to be in the
coat pocket of every young gardener."--_Gardener's Magazine._

"Let it be known--let it be introduced into every library,
reading-room, and seminary throughout Britain; let it become the
class-book of botanical study."--_Horticultural Register._

The Second Volume, which will complete the work, will be published in May.

* * * * *

Second Edition. One Volume, royal 8vo. with Eighteen coloured Plates. 21_s._ cloth boards.

A CATECHISM of GARDENING, intended for the use of Village Schools and Cottagers, containing plain and brief Directions for cultivating every kind of Vegetable in common use. By an old Practitioner. Second Edition, enlarged, 1_s._ 6_d._

"This is a cheap little work, and far better adapted for its avowed
purpose than any of the tracts which have preceded it. The small
type and closely-printed page of the Catechism show that the author
is perfectly serious in his wish to extend a knowledge of
Horticulture to the humblest classes of society."--_Loudon's
Gardener's Magazine._

"This is not only a useful, but a cheap publication, and
excellently adapted for its purpose."--_Analyst._

GARDENS and GROUNDS of WOBURN ABBEY. Illustrated by numerous Views, Plans, &c. One Vol. Medium 8vo. 21_s._

HORTUS WOBURNENSIS; a DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, comprising Generic and Specific Character, Colour of the Flower, Native Country, Year of Introduction, Soil, and Mode of Propagation, of upwards of SIX THOUSAND of the finest Ornamental PLANTS and SHRUBS, both Exotic and Indigenous, for the Decoration of the British Flower Garden, Greenhouse, Plant Stove, &c.; with an Account of the Routine of Culture pursued in the Forcing Department throughout the Year, a List of the Fruits cultivated; including short Treatises on the Management of the superior Fruits, Vegetables, &c. together with Designs for the Erection of Forcing Houses, Melon, and Culinary Pits, and a mode of heating by Hot Water Pipes, by which a genial steady Heat is produced, with a great Saving of Fuel, and the Houses left with perfect safety, for full fifteen hours, at even 28 degrees of Frost, Fahrenheit. By JAMES FORBES, A.L.S. C.M. H.S. &c., Principal Gardener at Woburn Abbey.

_A few Copies are printed on Royal Paper, for such of the Nobility
as may desire them. Proofs_, 2_l._ 2_s_. _Ditto, coloured_, 2_l._
12_s._ 6_d._

"The plan of this Work is good. The objects of cultivation, the
routine of cropping, the periods of forcing fruits and flowers, and
the hothouses employed for such purposes, are nearly the same in
all large gardens; and a well-digested and accurate account of what
is found most useful or beautiful in one, will serve as a rule of
practice in nearly all the others. The Duke of Bedford's Garden is
one of the best in England, and Mr. Forbes is one of the most
experienced Gardeners; so that a better model, or a better man,
could hardly be found, to illustrate the most efficient plans which
are followed in the management of horticultural affairs in England
* * * We can recommend Mr. Forbes's Work to our gardening
Friends."--_Athenæum._

FRUIT AND FRUIT TREES.

Second Edition, in One Volume, price 6_s._

THE FRUIT CULTIVATOR. By JOHN ROGERS, Nurseryman, formerly of the Royal Gardens.

"Directions are given for planting, pruning, training, the
formation of Fruit-Tree Borders, and Orchards, the gathering and
storing of Fruit; in a word, every thing which can be desired is
handled in a plain instructive manner, in such a way as a practical
man alone is capable of doing it."--_Irish Farmer's and Gardener's
Magazine._

"It remains only to say, that we think Mr. Rogers has here produced
a most valuable practical work, which deserves to be in universal
use; and which adds to its other recommendation that of
cheapness."--_Gardener's Magazine._
