Sir Walter Scott has observed, in writing of this work, "This valuable and extended Series of the Portraits of the Illustrious Dead affords to every private gentleman, at a moderate expense, the interest attached to a large Gallery of British Portraits, on a plan more extensive than any collection which exists, and at the same time the essence of a curious library of historical, biographical, and antiquarian works."-Extract of a Letter from Sir Walter Scott.-(See Prospectus.) "Largely as we have been tempted to speak of the graphic part of these volumes, we do not hesitate to say, that even were the engra vings absent, they would form a most valuable addition to the Engfish library. This strong language we use deliberately."-Quarterly Review. PLAN OF PUBLICATION. This work was originally published upon a scale exceeding two hundred guineas in price; an expense so large for a single work, as to preclude it from the possession of all but the inheritors of princely fortunes. The high character it acquired, and the very general expression of regret at its removal beyond the attainment of the public, induced the Proprietors to republish it in a smaller form, to admit of a wider dissemination of the Work, which had obtained universal favour. The success of the undertaking equalled the endeavour to merit it, for the patronage which attended this republication was wholly without precedent, and one edition has followed another in a succession so rapid, as at times to have suspended the means of supplying the demand until new Plates could be engraved. To keep pace, therefore, with the still increasing patronage of the public, another entirely fresh set of Plates has been commenced, with the same attention to excellence of execution, and the work is now republishing in the same popular manner of Monthly Numbers, at a price scarcely exceeding that of the Magazines and Reviews, in order to render it accessible to every class of purchasers, and thus to introduce it, at the charge of a few shillings monthly, to the shelves of every well-furnished book-case in the kingdom. THOMAS JEFFERSON, Late President of the United States. Edited by THOMAS JEFFERSON RANDOLPH. "A work of extraordinary interest-a work full of acute observation and of the materials of political knowledge. Mr Jefferson, it a well known, was a man of great shrewdness and imperturbable tem per, and as Minister at Paris, for several years before and during the French Revolution, he enjoyed opportunities of studying the charac excrcised upon the destinies of their country, such as no other man ters of public men, and the influence which particular tempers have perhaps could avail himself of, before or since."-Standard.

THE EDINBURGH LITERARY JOURNAL; OR, WEEKLY REGISTER OF CRITICISM AND BELLES LETTRES. "The truth is-and truth, like murder, will out-that the Edinburgh Literary Journal has no equal in Scotland, scarcely a superior in England."-Carlisle Patriot. "We suppose that many of our readers are natives of the north countree. To such we should recommend the Edinburgh Literary Journal, a weekly Register of Criticism and Belles Lettres, to which the greater number of distinguished Scottish writers are regular contributors." The Spirit and Manners of the Age. THIS Periodical being now established in a very lect some piquant morsel for the entertainment of our own readers. extensive and still increasing circulation, the Proprietors feel themselves entitled to recommend it strongly to public attention. Besides the earliest and most impartial Reviews of all New Works of interest, it contains weekly miscellaneous articles, in prose and verse, from many of the most eminent writers of the day. The two First Volumes are now completed, and no exertions will be spared to render the contents of the third still more varied and interesting. The following testimonials, taken at random from many others, show the estimation in which the JOURNAL is held in Scotland, England, and Ireland: "From what I know of the Editor, a gentleman of talent, spirit, and perseverance, I foretel the book will prosper."-CHRISTOPHER NORTH, in Blackwood's Magazine for November, 1828. "We have watched the progress of this able and enterprising periodical with no common interest. The Edinburgh Literary Journal has already become part and parcel of the existing system of our periodical literature, and will soon, we are convinced, be as thoroughly incorporated therein, as the Edinburgh Review or Blackwood's Magazine. Its success, indeed, has been quite extraordinary, and would be somewhat difficult to account for, did we not look to the array of distinguished names which appear in the list of its contributors, and to the singularly varied, spirited, and attractive articles, whether in the shape of reviews or original essays, which diversify and adorn its columns."-Caledonian Mercury. "As far as the Journal is concerned, we will venture to say, that no weekly publication in Britain has been conducted with greater spirit, or has secured a greater number of first-rate contributions. In the critical department, we hold Mr Bell to have few rivals. When he sets himself, whether gravely or gaily, to dissect a book, no critic that we are acquainted with-excepting perhaps the inimitable Christopher North, when in what he calls a merciful humour-can outdo him. If his fancy sometimes runs riot-as in his Slippers, for instance-and his wit sometimes cuts deeper than groundlings admire, what is it but the effervescence of a mind, enriched by an inexhaustible and irrepressible flow of original and brilliant ideas."-Edinburgh Observer. "For various kinds of work, the Editor is a host within himself; his range, in fact, includes the wide extremes of a song and a sermon,' and we may truly say of him in the words of the proverb, that ⚫ nothing seems to come wrong he puts his hand to.' In addition to this, he has excellent backing, by means of which he is enabled to present the public with a weekly bill of fare, prepared by some of the first cooks of which Scotland can boast at present."-Dumfries Courier. "Our readers do not require to be informed of the high estimation in which we hold the Edinburgh Literary Journal. Since the commencement of our undertaking, scarcely a week has passed in which we have not gratified a very great number of our readers, by transferring to our columns some part of its valuable contents. When we consider how many able individuals are engaged in supporting the Journal, by their literary exertions, we cannot wonder at the unexampled success which it has experienced. The number before us contains a greater variety of able literary articles than we have ever before met with in any similar publication."-Aberdeen Observer.

Every week it produces something new, something instructing and amusing; in short, the object of the learned and ta lented Editor evidently is, to blend the useful with the agreeable, and hitherto his endeavours have been crowned with success."-Berwick Advertiser. "The highest compliment that we can offer to the conductors of this periodical, (and these embrace the greatest names known to our literature,) must go forth to them in the simple statement, that we. value it for its research, its animation, and its variety, more than any other weekly brochure that comes to our office.

It treats scientific subjects with all the master's acumen, and seems familiar with every thing that is encompassed within the sweeter and brighter walks of the light departments of literature-those, particu larly, that lead to the cultivation of poetry, the fine arts, and, indeed, the Belles Lettres generally. We have already made several extracts from this admirabie Literary Journal, and at the earliest opportunity shall continue to turn it to account,"-Dublin Freeman's Journal.

THE COUNTRY CURATE. By the Author of "The Subaltern." CONTENTS.-The Pastor-The Poacher-The SchoolmistressThe Shipwreck-The Fatalist-The Smugglers-The Suicide-The Miser-Tke Rose of East Kent and the Parish Apprentice. Few persons can have forgotten the sensation which was produced by the appearance of Crabbe's Village Tales. What Mr Crabbe did in poetry, the author of the Country Curate has effected in prose; his materials, like those of Mr Crabbe, being collected from real life in some of its remarkable forms. The story of the Poacher, for example, contains the history of a singular character, who lived not long ago in a village near Ashford. The Miser, again, died about ten years ago, after having served a cure in Romney Marsh, upwards of a quarter of a century; and the Parish Apprentice ran his course within the memory of the last generation; his career is a very exThe same may be said traordinary, though a very honourable one. of each of the remaining sketches, which describe a variety of character."-Courier.

By HUGH MURRAY, Esq. F.R.S.E. "Mr Murray has conferred a substantial favour, not only on the literary world, but on the public generally. Either by good fortune, or by felicity of tact, he has moulded his work into that popular form which combines, in due proportions, amusement with instruction; he has interspersed with his historical details various traits of individual adventure, and sketches of national character and manners."London Literary Gazette. "In one word, this is a work which teems with important information, and from which more real profit may be derived than from a whole cartload of the ephemeral productions of the day."-Edinburgh Literary Journal. The work before us is undoubtedly the best that has fallen under our notice since we commenced our critical career.-In this department of literary labour, to which Mr Murray principally confines his attention, he is second to none, and superior to almost all, of his contemporaries who devote themselves to the same pursuits."Edinburgh Literary Gazette. "It is in truth a neat compendium of all the knowledge which exists on the subject."-Edinburgh Courant. "Mr Murray, in short, has brought to his task learning, industry, good sense, with a mass of information such as few persons in the kingdom possess; and his work is executed in a style which will establish and extend the fame he has acquired by his previous publications."-Scotsman.

Sold Wholesale at the Manufactory, 97, High Holborn, and Retail throughout the Kingdom, in Bottles, Pots, and Tin Boxes, at Ed. 1s. and 1s. 6d. each. and FRANCE. By Lieutenant-General CHARLES WILLIAM VANE, Marquis of Londonderry, G.C.B., G.C.H., &c. &c. "That a detailed history of such a war should not yet have appeared is certainly not a little extraordinary; and it must be gratifying, at least to our military circles, to find the desideratum about to be supplied by an eye-witness and a soldier. As an accredited minister, and representative of British interests at the head-quarters of the Allied Sovereigns, as well as in his military capacity, Lord Londonderry had ample opportunities of obtaining the most complete and correct information, with full access to those councils which developed the secret views and objects of the various conflicting parties that prevailed at that eventful period."-Morning Chronicle.

In two vols. 8vo, with fine Portrait, LIFE and CORRESPONDENCE of Sir THO MAS MUNRO, Bart. K.C.B., late Governor of Madras, with Extracts from his Private Papers. "The Life and Correspondence of Sir Thomas Munro, just published, may be said to comprehend an accurate history of India, during the last forty-five years, told in the vivid language of one who writes the impressions he feels at the moment. Nor is this the only charm attaching to the work; his private letters to his parents, his sister, and his wife, are as replete with amiability, wit, humour, descriptive talent, and single-heartedness, as his official correspondence is comprehensive of accurate and extensive information; whilst his minutes and papers upon the opening of the trade, the system of internal government, and other questions relative to the general management of British India, will be read at this moment with the deepest interest."-Morning Journal.

Just published, price One Shilling, STRICTURES ON SIR HENRY STEUART'S "PLANTER'S GUIDE;" CONTAINING A Vindication of the Nurserymen and Gardeners of Scotland from the Aspersions cast on them in that Work, and an Exposition of the Singular Fallacy of the Report of the Committee of the Highland Society relative to the Transplanted Trees at Allanton By EDWARD SANG, Nurseryman, Kirkaldy, "We are not sorry to see this pamphlet, in which Practical Gardeners are relieved from the aspersions thrown out against them by Sir Henry Steuart. Sir Henry's own merits are carefully estimated; and the Committee of the Highland Society most deservedly censured. We do not know a man more worthy of esteem, both in his professional and moral character, than Mr Sang. Whoever possesses the Planter's Guide, will do well to possess also these Strictures." -Loudon's Mag. No. 24, Feb. 1830. JOHN ANDERSON, jun. 55, North Bridge Street, Edinburgh; and SIMPKIN and MARSHALL, London. In 8vo, with a Map of the Route, a View of Timbuctoo, and other Plates, representing the building of that City, TRAVELS to TIMBUCTOO, and other Parts of CENTRAL AFRICA, during the Years 1824, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Among the geographical problems which, during the last half century, have occupied the attention of the world, and awakened a spirit of enterprise and adventure, the existence of a large and populous city in the heart of Central Africa stands pre-eminent. To decide the long agitated question, various expeditions have been fitted out, but without success. In vain have Houghton, Browne, Horneman, Park, Tuckey, Peddie, Campbell, Gray, Ritchie, Bowditch, Oudeney, Clapperton, Denham and Laing-in vain have Burckhardt, Beaufort, Mollien, and Belzoni, endeavoured to remove the veil that enveloped this mysterious city. Of this number Major Laing alone reached the desired goal; but, through the barbarous murder of that officer, the results of his persevering exertions have been unhappily lost to his country. M. Caillie is the first European who has been enabled to penetrate to Timbuctoo, and to return to Europe with full and accurate information respecting this hitherto unknown capital.

HARDY'S TRAVELS in the INTE RIOR of MEXICO, in 1826, 7, and 8. "This work is certainly one of the most curious and valuable that has ever appeared on the subject of this interesting country. The author travelled far into the interior, and explored many parts never before visited by any European. The inexhaustible resources, productions, and capabilities of this mighty Empire, have, indeed we feel persuaded, never till now been properly known or appreciated." -Court Journal.

He has, however, left behind him a memorial of those scenes and of those labours, in two volumes, just published, under the name of 'Records of Captain Clapperton's last Expedition to Africa,' which are replete with intelligent remarks on the strange habits of the inte rior African tribes, and offer, besides, the particular charm of various of which the author himself was an actor, and which exhibit collectepisodes, simply, humorously, or feelingly narrated, in the incidents ively a picture of real life, under a form as novel as its locality is remote and singular."-Courier.
