A GENUINE AND ORIGINAL PORTRAIT

OF

ROBERT BURNS,

PAINTED IN 1786, BY THE LATE MR PETER TAYLOR, AND FINISHED IN THE FIRST STYLE of line enGRAVING, By MR JOHN HORSBURGH.

Size of the Print, 9 by 12 inches.

"Altogether, it is a very interesting production; and, when we consider the enthusiastic regard in which the memory of Burns is

held by every Scotsman who possesses a single grain of feeling, or a sense of the charms of poetry, we may safely predict that it will be a universal favourite, not only in that country, but throughout many distant quarters of the world."-London Literary Gazette.

"Till the present moment we never could realize the idea of Burns from the Portrait affixed to his works. But here indeed is a fine, open, manly, and sensible face, the features indicate sterling intellect with sensibility; they are transparent as crystal, and kind.. ness and gentleness shine through them. The print (a line engrareminds us of the late celebrated Mr Sharpe's mode of handling his subject. It ought to have, and it will have, an extensive sale."-The Atlas.

London: Published by TREUTTEL and WURTZ, TREUTTEL, Jun. ving) is worthy of the man, bold, clear, and distinct, and in its style and RICHTER, 30, Soho Square.

THE SPLENDID PANORAMA

OF THE

CITY OF ST SEBASTIAN, AND THE BAY OF
RIO JANEIRO,

IS NOW OPENED IN THE NEW ROTUNDA,
MOUND.

THIS PICTURE is one of the best efforts of
ROBERT BURFORD, Esq. London, and a more befitting subject
for Panoramic Representation cannot possibly be conceived. The
city of St Sebastian, the capital of the province of that name, and the
metropolis of all Brazil, has been the admiration of every Traveller.
The Bay is in every respect one of the finest known, and forms a
key to all the southern parts of the empire.

The view taken from the harbour, about a mile from the city, is the finest and most extensive that can be obtained, from whence its lofty eminences, crowned with monasteries and convents, and the beautiful hills on its environs, interspersed with villas and gardens, have a rich and magnificent appearance. The city occupies a plain on the north-eastern part of a tongue of land of an irregular shape,

the price of which, to Subscribers, will be L.2, 12s. 6d. ; and also a stretching towards the north, and on the south connected with the splendid Bust of his late Majesty,

Extract from the Author's Preface." The volume now introduced to public notice has been compiled with the view of furnishing, for the first time, to strangers and others, a connected, comprehensive delineation of the chief Institutions in Scotland, as well as the more prominent and peculiar Laws and Usages by which this northern kingdom is still distinguished from the other portions of the British Empire, and more especially from England; and, as such, to form a useful companion to the PICTURE OF SCOTLAND. While the latter publication adheres principally to a description of things of a tangible nature, the present may be best depicted as an attempt to expose the mechanism regulating Society in its public relations. In other words, while the one presents a luminous picture of the body of the country, the other aspires to exhibit the soul with which it has been endowed."

FRENCH LANGUAGE.

LAST SATURDAY, in the Hopetoun Rooms,

Mons. SURENNE, French Master to the Scottish Military and Naval Academy, concluded his Philological Course, with a Lecture consisting of Elucidations of Universal Literature, in ended to throw a light on the vicissitudes of fortune experienced by Authors. After which, the awarding of Prizes to his Pupils took place. But previous to this grateful task, four Ladies of the COMPOSI TION AND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE CLASS, having volunteered to compose French Extempore Essays, on any Historical Subject, the following were proposed by several Gentlemen present: Demosthenes, Alfred, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, and Charlemagne, Emperor of France. The first subject fell to the lot of Miss Minnoch, the second to Miss Davidson, the third to Miss Wilson, and the fourth to Miss Douglas.

The Essays, each consisting of two long pages in French, besides the translation, were accomplished without the help of books in any language whatever, and were, in a neat and elegant speech, delivered by the Reverend Mr Chapman, who kindly undertook to deliver the Prizes, esteemed by him as astonishing efforts, replete with proofs of talent and ingenuity, as well as sound and extensive know. ledge.

Besides the above Essays, several French Sentences, on subjects given by the audience, were, by the same Ladies, and Miss M. Ross, also written with the view of showing their readiness at composing the French Language, and, like the Essays, elicited marks of approbation on the part of those present.

The following are the names of those to whom the prizes were awarded:

"In our present number, as indeed in nearly every number of our publication that issues, our readers may observe that we are indebted to the Edinburgh Literary Journal for one or more contributions to the literary and miscellaneous department of our paper.

This excellent and entertaining publication has just completed the third volume of its series, and that event offers us an occasion to pay its able, diligent, and spirited conductors a compliment more express than that of merely borrowing from its contents, as some slight return for the good service its agreeable pages so often afford us. What we admire in this work, more perhaps than even the literary talent which it displays, is the honesty of its literary principles. We never find it, as almost all the papers of its kind do, prostituting its praise by bestowing it unworthily, still less exercising any ill-natured partiality to the prejudice of a work or author of merit. We always yield, therefore, a pleasing confidence to its reviews, within those bounds which we of course prescribe to our confidence in the opinion of any critic, and we have not at any time found that confidence misplaced. With respect to the ability of the Journal, we have more than once before taken occasion to express ourselves in the strongest terms of approbation. The pleasing experience of another term of its labours only confirms in us, in the strongest manner, that favourable opinion. The reader will find in the pages of the Journal an extraordinary variety of entertainment, from the excellent reviews and critical notices of works, which may be considered the highest of its pretensions, down to the agreeable chat concerning provincial art and letters which has been recently added to the catalogue of its contents. The extensive intermediate space and reading is supplied by original articles, in prose and verse, of a very high degree of merit, ranking at least on a footing of equality with the best contributions to the annuals. We desire to recommend the patronage of this work to those of our fellow townsmen in particular who naturally feel a peculiar interest in the reputation and success of Scottish literature. Without being exclusively Scottish, it has yet of necessity that peculiar character, with reference to Scottish letters, which must make it most acceptable to Scotchmen, and the natives of that country will do themselves credit by patronising it." -Liverpool Saturday Advertiser, July 17th, 1830.

EDINBURGH LITERARY JOURNAL.-"We have much pleasure in announcing a new era in the existence of this able periodical. All who take an interest in the literary criticism of Scotland, were aware that there was not room for two weekly journals in Edinburgh. Accordingly, one of them (the Gazette) has ceased to exist, and the copyright has been purchased by the Proprietors of the Journal. This is a result which was foreseen by many, and is now matter of congratulation with more; for the honesty and judgment of the critiques, and the ability displayed in the original articles, of the Journal, have always been conspicuous, and have led to its being firmly fixed in public estimation, as well as fostered by great and still increasing public patronage. It is but fair, therefore, that the Editor and Proprietors should pledge themselves to increasing and still greater exertions."-Scots Times.

The Journal is published every Saturday Morning, and delivered in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, to Subscribers, before breakfast. It is also published in London, and several of the principal towns in England, every Monday; and the stamped edition may be sent to any part of the Kingdom.
