SMITH A.M., Glasgow; stereotyped and printed at the Glasgow University Press: and embellished with a fine Portrait. Price only 2s. 6d. in boards.

"To ensure the correctness of this work, every reference has been compared with the Scriptures, and some hundreds of errors, which have crept into preceding editions, have been discovered and corrected.

The Geography is accompanied by An ATLAS, exhibiting, in connexion with the Outlines of Countries, the prevailing Religions, Forms of Government, degrees of Civilization, the comparative size of Towns, Rivers, and Mountains, and the Climates and Productions of the Earth; in royal 4to, coloured, price 8s. half-bound.

This Atlas has been compiled from the best Authorities, and contains all the late Discoveries of Parry, Weddell, Denham, and Clapperton. But its principal claim to attention is founded on the entire novelty of the plan; each Map presents, not only the geographical outlines of countries, but a series of numbers affixed to the Mountains, Rivers, and Cities, which indicate their comparative rank, and enable the Student, by reference to the Table of Classification, to discover their actual magnitude. The Isothermal Chart exhibits the Climate of different Regions, as determined by Thermometrical Observation, with their most important Productions, and presents a striking illustration of the diversity existing in the same Latitudes, according to the situation of Countries.

In the Moral and Political Chart, the outlines of each country con tain a number, showing its Population, and several emblems indicating its Government, Religion, and State of Civilization; and form, in effect, a Moral Picture of the World.

THE SCOTTISH TOURIST and ITINERARY;

or, a Guide to the Scenery and Antiquities of Scotland and the Western Islands. With a Description of the Principal Steam-Boat Tours. Second Edition, with considerable Additions and Improvements.-Illustrated by Maps and Views. Price 9s. boards, or 10s. 6d. bound.

The rapid sale of the first Edition of the Scottish Tourist is a decided proof of the superiority both of its plan and execution over any similar work. The second Edition, besides being illustrated by four new Plates, will be found to contain very considerable Additions and Improvements.

"We have no hesitation in praising it, since we happen to know the the most distinguished personage in literature, whom Scotland can or ever could boast of, has deliberately pronounced it to be the best book of its kind that has fallen into his hands. It is chiefly remark able for skilful condensation of much matter, which has lost none of its value by undergoing that process-accurate and extensive hist cal knowledge, and elegance and vigour of diction. The formation of the plan of the work, and its various details, and the preparatory study, must have cost much more labour than the composition sel for a plan more perfect-embracing such a variety of objects (all that is interesting and curious in Scottish scenery)—and showing the go graphical relations in which these objects, and the roads conducting to them, stand to each other, never came under our observation"The value of the whole work is much enhanced by a number Maps, upon such a truly original and ingenious plan as do credit to the inventor.-Each of these is devoted to an entire tour, occupiesa page, and consists of three columns, in which are distinctly fraest all the places of any note, (mountains, lakes, rivers, towns, village, villas, &c.) along the route to be pursued, their relative distance, and the roads that diverge from the route."-Caledonian Mercy 11th May, 1829.

"Those, however, who desire to extend their knowledge of Loeb Lomond, I would refer to Stirling and Kenney's Tourist's Guided 1827-one of the best books of the kind I have met with."-Ser man, 16th April, 1828.

DERS,-produce an extremely refreshing Effervescing Drink, preferable to Soda, Seidlitz, or Magnesia Water, and at the same time A MILD AND COOLING APERIENT, peculiarly adapted to promote the healthy action of the Stomach and Bowels, and thereby prevent the recurrence of Constipation and Indigestion, with all their train of consequences, as Depression, Flatulence, Acidity or Heartburn, Headache, Febrile Symptoms, Eruptions on the Skin, &c. &c. and by frequent use will obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salts, and other violent medicines, which tend to debilitate the system. When taken after too free an indulgence in the luxuries of the table, particularly after too much wine, the usual disagreeable effects are altogether avoided. In warm climates they will be found extremely beneficial, as they prevent accumulation of Bile, and do not debilitate.

Prepared, and sold in 2s. 9d. boxes,-and 10s. 6d. and 20s. cases, by BUTLER, CHEMIST TO HIS MAJESTY, No. 73, PRINCE'S STREET, EDINBURGH; and (authenticated by the Preparer's name and address, in the Label affixed to each box and case,) may be obtained of all the principal Druggists and Booksellers throughout the United Kingdom.

Of whom may also be procured,

BUTLER'S CARBONATED EFFERVESCING HARROWGATE SALTS,-which contain all the solid ingredients of the celebrated Springs of Harrowgate, with the very important addition of the Volatile Gases in an immediate state of disengagement, by the addition of pure water, and altogether will be found a valuable substitute, proper for those Invalids who are unable to reside at Harrowgate. The Water of the Harrowgate Springs is very successfully used in cases of Scurvy, Scrofula, and Bilious and Gouty Affections; and it has, in particular, acquired great celebrity for the removal of the most complicated and obstinate Cutaneous Eruptions. The Salts are sold in 4s, 6d. and 10s. 6d. Bottles.

Sold at 10s. the thousand Caps, and 28s. the thousand Tubes,-by BUTLER & Co., Chemists, 73, Prince's Street, Edinburgh,-also by most respectable Gunmakers in all parts of the Kingdom.

N.B. Several articles of a very inferior and injurious description having recently been introduced into the trade, it is of much imavoid even the chance of disappointment in the field, to supply them portance to gentlemen who value their guns, and who are anxious to selves with such Caps only as can be fully and completely depended on.-COLLINSON HALL will have his name engraved on the label, which is pasted on the top of the boxes containing them.
