Extracts from Reviews.

"The Excitement will be found gold from end to end. We have never, in truth, scen a book, the contents of which correspond better with its title, or more calculated to promote the design intended by its publication."-Saturday Post, Dec, 26, 1829.

"The Excitement is embellished sufficiently to captivate the juvenile eye, and the subjects are exactly of that description which the fresh, sanguine, and inquisitive mind of youth most delights to unravel."-Edinburgh Observer, Dec. 29, 1829.

"It would not be easy to speak in terms of too strong approbation of this volume."-Edinburgh Literary Gazette, Dec. 26, 1829. "This neat little volume seems admirably adapted to the purpose the editor has in view." Edinburgh Advertiser, Dec. 29, 1829.

NEW JOURNAL.

THE NORTH BRITON.

A NUMBER of individuals having severally express

ed a wish for the establishment of a Newspaper in this city, to be conducted by an Editor unfettered by any party connexions, unshackled by subserviency to any local interest, and free from the dictation or caprice of a limited proprietary; and considering the great utility of such an organ for the fair and free discussion of public affairs, whether national or provincial; it is proposed that a Journal of this description shall, as soon as possible, be established in Edinburgh, under the exclusive management and direction of JAMES BROWNE, LL.D., who has for the last three years edited the Caledonian Mercury newspaper. Of Dr Brown's fitness for the task assigned him, and his practical acquaintance with the details of a newspaper no less than the duties of Editor, the readers of the Mercury, while it was under his management, and the public generally, have had sufficient experience; and without making any professions for the future, he wishes his pretensions to public favour to be judged of by his past exertions.

This Journal, under the denomination of "THE NORTH BRITON," will be published twice every week, viz. on the Wednesdays and Saturdays; and as there will be a Second Edition of each paper published soon after the arrival of the London Mail on these days, it is respectfully requested that Subscribers will be pleased to intimate whether they wish for the morning or evening edition.

Price of a single paper, 7d. ; price per annum, L.3, 3s.; when paid in advance, L.2, 18s. Price per quarter, 16s.; when paid in advance, 11s. 6d. Advertisements will be inserted at the lowest rate charged by any Edinburgh newspaper.

As it is proposed that the publication of THE NORTH BRITON shall commence early in January, it is peculiarly desirable that those who are friendly to the undertaking transmit their orders, without delay, to the following Booksellers :

nation of his pupils in Cupar Academy, we can speak of him as an
author under lights and illus rations of high import. It is our deci-
ded opinion, in which we shall probably be borne out by every one
acquainted with Mr Graham, that his method of teaching is original,
and his way of communicating instruction most successful; his mind
is well fitted to strike out for itself pathways of improvement, which
minds of less energy and compass would infallibly be blind to.
shall establish the truth of these remarks by a reference to the work

"This appears to us really what it professes to be, a very useful school-book. Too much care cannot be bestowed on opening the understanding of the pupil, as well as in exercising the memory; and by no plan can this be done more effectually than in explaining the meaning of vocables, and tracing derivatives to their roots-a plan which teaches boys to reason and reflect, as well as to attain a correct apprehension of the structure and force of language. Another advantage of Mr Graham's method is that of shortening the time spent in the acquisition of the classics, and placing the study of philology in general on a more secure and natural basis, as many of the initiatory difficulties are here smoothed down, and by tracing the ramifications and connexions of meanings, the mind is gradually stored with a treasure of words which it can easily combine and anations, we can safely recommend Mr Graham's Exercises,' as calculated to facilitate a correct knowledge of the English language, and as containing a great deal of curious philological information."

The Westminster Review for January, 1830, (No. XXIII, just published) thus speaks of Dr Browne's Editorial talents, in connexion with the Journal which he lately conducted :

"We think this little work is calculated to be useful, or we should not have noticed it here. To teachers who exercise their pupils in that department of etymology on which it is written, it may render considerable assistance, and it may also be of advantage to those who have some knowledge of Latin and Greek, by enabling them to apply the learning which they have gained to the better comprehension of their own tongue. The author concludes with a few extracts on the history of languages, which may be interesting to the etymological student."-Montrose Review.

"Among the most distinguished papers on the liberal side, is the Caledonian Mercury, edited by Dr James Browne, a man of distinguished ability, and the writer of several articles in the Edinburgh Review. *** Ít was reckoned a Tory paper, although belonging to Mr Thomas Allan, a wealthy banker, whiggishly inclined. Indeed, till the Scotsman started, it was supposed impossib e that a paper, oppo sed to the Tories, could prosper, or do less than bring destruction on its editor and proprietors. But since Dr Browne became its editor, this paper has become a bold exposer of abuses of all kinds, whether in the city or in the government. It has also outstripped its compe- "The system which, under Mr Graham's own care and inspection, titors in presenting early reports, and in procuring exclusive infor- has been found to work so well beneath the eyes of the public of this mation. In fact, this paper is an evidence of what the active atten-place, is in the present volume explained and illustrated in such a tion of a single mind can accomplish, even of a mind engaged in manner as to render its results attainable in other places, and under many other pursuits."-ART.

N.B.-The above, of course, applies to the Mercury, while under The management of Dr Browne, who, however, resigned the editorship of that journal on the 1st of December last, at which date his connexion with it finally ceased. Edinburgh, January, 1830.

The attention of the Public, and particularly that of the United Services, is respectfully invited to this New Periodical, which was commenced on the 1st of January, 1829, in Monthly Numbers, price 2s 6d. each, and embraces subjects of such extensive variety, and of such powerful interest, as must render it scarcely less acceptable to readers in general, than to the Members of those Professions for whose use it is more peculiarly intended.

Independently of a succession of Original Papers on innumerable interesting subjects, Personal Narratives, Correspondence, Anecdotes, &c., each Number comprises Biographical Memoirs of Eminent Officers-Reviews of New Publications, either immediately relating to the Army and Navy, or involving subjects of utility or interest to the members of either-Parliamentary Proceedings, as far as they relate to Naval or Military Affairs-Trials by Courts Martial, General Orders, Circulars, &c.-Distribution of the Army and Navy-Promotions and Appointments-Births, Marriages, Obituary --and Miscellanies, Naval and Military, comprehending such brief Notices, Professional, Literary, and Scientific, as cannot with propriety be arranged under the preceding heads.

It would be impossible, however, within the compass of this announcement, to enumerate all the subjects which this Miscellany is designed to embrace. The Publisher will therefore only add, that it is conducted by Officers in his Majesty's Service, who have ensured the effective co-operation of gentlemen of high professional and literary character, and that it will be uniformly animated by the same ardent spirit of patriotism and loyalty which achieved the triumphs of Trafalgar and Waterloo.

The first Number for JANUARY 1830, price 2s. 6d. contains: Sketch of the Battles of the Pyrenees--Service afloat, being the Personal Narrative of a Naval Officer during the late War-Arnold and André-Traits of Admiral Byng, from the Journal of an Officer engaged in the Action off Minorca in 1756-Biographical Sketch of General the Earl of Harrington, G C.H.-Russian Conquests in Asia -Memoir of the late Captain Richard Sainthill, R.N.-Remarks on Military Surveying-Suggestions in Naval Economy, by General Sir Samuel Bentham-Popular View of Fortification and GunneryProposition for employing Men-of-War as Transports-Preliminary Naval Education-Law for recruiting the French Army-Comman der Marshall's Work on Naval Gunnery-Royal Military College, Sandhurst-East India College, at Addiscombe-Aphorisms of Sir Philip Sydney-Foreign Miscellany-CORRESPONDENCE; Breaking the Line; Indian Army: Naval Surveys, &c.-EDITOR'S PORTFOLIO: United Service Museum-Newly discovered Rock in the West Indies-General Orders and Circulars, including the New Regulations-MONTHLY NAVAL REGISTER, Annals of the British Fleet, the British Army-Distribution of the Entire British Army on the 1st of January, 1830, &c. &c.

HENRY COLBURN and RICHARD BENTLEY London; and BELL and BRADFUTE, 6, Bank Street, Edinburgh; To whom communications for the Editor and Advertisements may be addressed.

SEVENTH, including the recent Supplement to that Work: with Preliminary Dissertations on the History of the Sciences. By the late Professors STEWART and PLAYFAIR, and by the Right Hon. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH and Professor LESLIE. Illustrated with a new set of Engravings on Steel. To be published in Monthly Parts, and completed in Twenty Volumes quarto. Edited by Professor NAPIER.

MODE AND TERMS OF PUBLICATION.

I. By augmenting the contents of the page, but without decreasing the size of the type, the work, while much improved in appearance, will be comprised, notwithstanding the great extension of its matter, in Twenty Quarto Volumes, handsomely printed on paper of a superior quality, twenty volumes of the present being nearly equal to twenty-four of the former Editions. Each volume will consist of 800 pages, containing a much greater quantity of matter than any similar publication; and the Proprietors hold themselves distinctly pledged to the Public, that the work shall not, on any account, exceed Twenty-One Volumes; their present confident belief, at the same time, being that it will be completed in Twenty.

II. The publication will proceed in Monthly Parts, of which Six will form a volume; each part thus averaging above 133 pages. The First Part will be published on the 31st of March 1850. As the printing of the whole will be finished long before the expiration of the period required for issuing the successive Monthly Parts, the Subscribers will have the option, at the close of that operation, of completing at once their copies of the work, or of abiding by the publication in Parts till the end of the Series.

III. Each Part will be sold for Six Shillings, thus making the price of a quarto volume, of 800 ample pages, only Thirty-Six Shillings-a price very considerably lower than that of any similar publication of the day; and which, when the quantity of Matter in each volume, the quality of Paper and Printing, the numerous Engravings, and the ability of the Articles, are taken into account, must be allowed to place the work in a highly advantageous point of view. Considering its Execution and Extent, it will, indeed, present the cheapest Digest of Human Knowledge that has yet appeared in Britain, in the convenient form of a Dictionary.

Printed for ADAM BLACK, Edinburgh, and to be had of all the Booksellers.
