“We confidently recommend the Cook and Housewife's Manual to all mistresses of families, and, short, to all whom it may concern ; and that is no small number of his Majesty's liege subjects ought to add, that in the receipts a due regard is had to economy." --Literary Chronicle.

" You are one of the greatest characters of the age; and it is our intention, as the summer adres, to make a journey to the north on purpose to see you, Mrs Dods ;-a sort of gastronomie pilgrimage to the Cleikum Inn."--New Monthly Magazine.

“ The introduction and notes are adorned by learning, wit, and humour, worthy to entertain a mas culine and cultivated mind; the receipts are all practicable, and many of them rare or new; and the style, though plain, is spirited and clegant." -Ackermann's Repository.

“ The Encyclopædia Britannica, and the Housewife's Manual, are alike an honour to Scotland, they are both the result of a combination of its living genius and enterprise."--Neres of Literettere and Fashion.

“ The individual who has ingeniously personated Meg Dods is evidently no ordinary writer; and the book is really most excellent miscellaneous reading.--Here we have twenty or thirty grave, sobe, is structive, business-like pages, right on end, without one particle of wit whatever ; then cone as many more sprinkled with facetia and then half a dozen of broad mirth and merriment. This alternatien of grave and gay is exceedingly agreeable." --Blackwood's Magazine.

“ It is, in short, a system of domestic management displayed on the favourite framework of a Nere The idea is ingenious, and the execution amusing."--Constable's Edinburgh Magazine.

“ To speak seriously, this book is evidently got up by some person who knows la Cuisine weil, ai something else besides. There are both wit and learning in it; and these not stuck on like the super Auous bay-leaves which grace a pyramid of jelly, but entering, like well-prepared condiments, inso its very substance." --Scotsman.

“On the whole, we conceive this volume a valuable compendium of culinary knowledge, displaying more talent and intelligence than have usually been devoted to the homely

recent in its information. We learn that it has been adorte ook in many large seminaries in Britain and America; and, what can be said of few punts tions of the kind, it may be recommended as an excellent manual for grown-up persons, who want to ney to purchase, or time to peruse, more bulky works."-Scotsman.

of youth.-Mr Stewart has merited the thanks of both old and young by the able manner in which he has performed his well-meant task."--Literary Gazette.

“ The arrangement is, in our opinion, altogether admirable ; indeed we have rarely met with a work so completely fitted either for the school-mom or the private student."-Literary Chronicle.

This work cannot fail of being regarded as a valuable addition to our elementary literature."-La Belle Assemblet.

“This is a work of great labour and merit, and well deserves the patronage of all enlightened instructors of the rising generation." --- Evangelical Magazine.

“ Mr Stewart's Continuation of Goldsmith's History of England, and the work now before us, are evidently the result of reading at once extensive and careful."-Edinburgh Theological Magazine.

“We certainly think that Mr Stewart has acquitted himself very ably in his task, and produced a History of Scotland that may be allowed to stand beside our Goldsmith's History of England. The volume comprises nearly as much reading as Dr Robertson's two octavo volumes, which sell for four times the price."Particular Baptist Magasine.

This is a very able, impartial, and well-digested narrative. The author has had recourse to the most authentic sources of information, and has displayed much judgment in rejecting what is obscure and uncertain, in giving a rapid sketch of unimportant occurrences, and in laying before his readers an ample detail of all important and interesting events." --Educational Review.

_" It is the production of an experienced teacher, as well as of a sensible and conscientious : and contains much valuable matter, in the nature of remarks on the present mode of teaching in sur universities, with suggestions towards a reform. We would gladly have analyzed it for the beneste our readers; but as it is not a long work, while it is written in a plain sensible manner, and in an iom ble style, we shall rather recommend it to their own perusal."-Westminster Reviete.

“ Independent of the merits of this work, as combining an excellent system of education, it indiuis some admirable and well-written essays on the science of the human mind, the origin and progres af written language, the improvement of the memory, the culture of the imagination, the elements of taste, and a variety of other subjects."-Literary Chronicle.

We are now reluctantly compelled to leave this atnost and most instructive volume; but we cannot permit ourselves to finish our very imperfect review of it, without recommending to our readers, not only the book itself, but more particularly the principle upan which it is written, the attempt to trace all spectral illusions to their physical cause." - British Critic

tion; 8vo, with Wood Cuts, 10s. 6d. boards. "We must, however, take leave of Legendre's Treatise, which we cannot sufficiently recommend. The Elements of Lacroix are also extremely valuable, though not marked so strongly as the preceding with the characters of originality and invention."-Edinburgh Review, vol. XV. pp. 2, 3, & 1.

-“The consequence has been, a series of treatises, some of them very inferior, but gradually improving, so as recently, in the hands of Legendre, to have reached a degree of ercellence that in many respects surpasses even that of the Greek geometer.- Edinburgh Review, vol. XX. p. 80.

“ To such as are entering on the study of geometry, we would recommend any of the following works: -Simson's Euclid, Playfair's Geometry, Legendre's Geometry, Leslie's Geometry. Indeed we would recommend the perusal of Legendre's work with any of the others. We have chiefly kept it in view in drawing up the following article."-Article Geometry in the Edinburgh Encyclopeedia

-" There is one, however, which we must particularly mention, on account of its great excellence, and the use we have made of it in the system we are now to present to our readers. It is that of Mr Legendre, which we consider as the most complete and extensive that has yet appeared."- Article Geometry in the Encyclopædia Britannica.

XV. JOHNSON'S DICTIONARY in Miniature ; improved and

In this edition, it has been the object of the Publishers to present such a work as may be useful to every class of readers not merely to those who are only acquiring a knowledge of the niceties of English pronunciation, but to every person desirous of speaking or writing his native language with precision.

With this view, the first attention of the Editor has been given to accurate accentuation; and he trusts it will be perceived that the method of placing the accentual mark, which has been adopted in this work, is not only preferable to that employed in all former miniature editions of the Dictionary, but what is of the first importance is such as cannot be mistaken by any reader of ordinary attention.

Much labour has been bestowed in selecting, from the lexicographers who have succeeded Dr Johnson, such words as seemed necessary for rendering this work a complete repository of the treasures of the English language.

It is enriched, also, with carefully-accented Vocabularies of Classical and Scriptural Proper Names, - concise Account of the Heathen Deities, -a Collection of Phrases from the Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish Languages, a Chronological Table of Remarkable Events, and a Historical Record of Men of Genius and Learning.

In short, the Publishers have spared neither pains nor expense to render this work in all respects accurate and complete ; and they anticipate with confidence, that its superiority, to all other abridged ediLions of the large Dictionary, will speedily be acknowledged.

With all these advantages, it is offered to the Public at a price as low as the most common editions.

“The aged, we think, are too much neglected from the pulpit and the press, and it is, the with the greater pleasure that we apprise our readers, that Dr Belfrage bas devoted a rousse as courses to them.

CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON, post 8vo, 10s. 6d. boards. “This book deserves a careful perusal, and an extensive circulation. It presents to the reader SE tural principles, striking exemplifications, and judicious advices, on a subject of vital importance de church and to the world."-Evangelical Magazine.

Nature, Obligations, Change, Proper Observance, and Spiritual Advantages of that Holy Day. By the Rev. John Glen, Minister of the Chapel in Portobello ; 12mo, 5s. boards.

" Mr Glen has presented the public with a very excellent work on a most important subject. This small volume possesses no ordinary merit. It obviously comes from the hand of a master, wbo las thought much and correctly

on the subject which he discusses, and who has written upon it in a styk plain, perspicuous, and unaffected. Our author does not confine himself to the illustration of practical topics, but argues the doctrine of the Sabbath with great energy and propriety, in a manner, we think, calculated to make a very favourable impression on the mind of every candid and Intelligent reader, Christian Recorder.
