SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY

ROYAL SOCIETY.

Jan. 19. Dr. John Bostock, V.P., in the chair. The following papers were read:-' On the Theory of the Perturbation of the Planets,' by James Ivory, Esq., M.A., F.R.S., &c., and 'On Voltaic Electricity,' by William Ritchie, M.A., F.R.S.

Charles Boileau Elliott, Esq. was proposed Fellow.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

Jan. 16.-C. Lyell, Esq., in the chair.-Some extracts from the papers and journal of Captain Bannister were read, respecting the country between the Swan River and King George's Sound. The object of this expedition was to ascertain the condition of the country with regard to settling it. The party took a south-east direction from Freemantle over a range of hills which enclose the Swan River and the adjacent district at about forty miles from the coast. They travelled over the first hundred miles in ten days. They halted on Christmas day on the banks of a river in the midst of extensive fertile vales, which they examined carefully in all directions. This river is designated the Medway in the map, and the name of Woolcomb Vales is given to this fine district.

An extract of a letter also from Lieut. E. Day of the Bengal Artillery was read, dated from Chirra, in the Cossya country. In consequence of the favourable reports of this part of the country, a depôt was directed to be formed there by the East India Company in October 1830, and a party of invalids sent to it under the charge of Lieut. Day.

In mentioning the Cossyahs, Lieut. Day gives a favourable account, and says, they are a fine race of people, and superior to any Asiatics he had seen. They much resemble the Malays in appearance, but are stouter, owing to the nature of their employments-bringing loads from the plains, to which both sexes are accustomed from an early age. All their burthens are carried resting on the back by means of a sling made of split bamboo, which passes across the forehead. They are honest, but very fond of spirituous liquors. Distinctions of caste are unknown among them. They have a peculiar custom of burning their dead. The spot where this ceremony has been performed is afterwards marked by a stone inclosure. The ashes of the corpse being collected and put into earthen jars or pots, are deposited in a regular square stone box with a small door to it. They are then surrounded by immense slabs of stone about twenty feet in height. The hills near the village are covered with these monuments of the departed, bearing some resemblance to our church-yards. The succession to the throne is preserved in the female line, by which they believe that the royal blood is pure and uncontaminated. They speak a curious language, something resembling Chinese, but have no written characters. Their mode of reckoning is by cutting notches in sticks, and they fix anything in their memory by breaking eggs. This process they go through before setting out on an expedition, to ascertain whether good or bad fortune will attend them; and it is generally decided according to their inclination. It appears, that the invalids which accompanied Lieut. Day immediately recovered in consequence of the salubrity of the climate, and that it was expected that Chirra would be much frequented from Calcutta. It is nine hours march up the hills from the river.

The paper which excited most interest, was a communication from Mr. Barrow, giving an account of Alexander's Cave, near Tabriz, in Persia, by Sir Henry Wallack. The Cave of Iscendereea, about twenty miles from Tabriz, is supposed to be under the influence of a magic

spell, contrived by Aristotle for the security of treasure which Alexander the Great left in this place while he proceeded to conquer Persia and Judea. The tradition is generally believed among modern Persians, who regard Alexander as a necromancer. In the vicinity of the cave is a considerable village, which takes its name from it. The enchanted spot is situated in an elevated position, near a quarry, from which millstones are cut. The natural arch, which forms the entrance to the cave is high and imposing. The approach is rather inviting than otherwise: vegetation flourishes, flowers, wild-rose bushes, long grass, grow even near its mouth; and there is nothing in the exterior to indicate the existence of pestilential vapours, nor would the general formation of the cave warrant such a supposition. As the visitor enters it, his presence disturbs the wild pigeons from nooks in the vault where they have taken up their abode secure from molestation. The arch of the cave is about eighty feet high; and the whole extent of it is about one hundred yards. The guide conducts the visitor along the high sides of the interior of the cave, and, having placed him in safety, proceeds cautiously to the lower ground, occasionally stooping down his head to ascertain the limits of life and death. The visitor, watching with intense interest the progress of the guide, discovers immediately the presence of pestiferous vapour-the sudden jerk of the head, and equally sudden halt, denotes the presence of danger. The guide now flings forward a fowl, which he carries with a string fastened to it; a convulsive gasp, and one or two flaps of the wings bespeak approaching dissolution; and, having satisfied the visitor of the fetid nature of the vapour, the guide draws back the fowl, and, while it yet lives, cuts its throat in the name of God, in order that it may be lawfully eaten, being one of his perquisites. In the lower part of the cave were seen the skeleton of a fox, the body of a pigeon, or the remains of some other small bird, which had ventured within range of the destructive atmosphere. The extent of the vapour depends much on the season of the year. In August, it was dry, and nearly clear of bad air. The guide declares, that the richest treasure would reward the man, who had sufficient skill to dispel the enchantment. Many lives have been lost in it. A peasant disappointed in love, rushed into the infectious air, and met instantaneous death. On another occasion, a person seeking shelter in the cave from a storm, without being aware of his danger, was killed by its noxious vapours; and the guide has sometimes fallen a sacrifice to his zeal.

Several gentlemen were elected members in the course of the evening.

GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Jan. 18.-R. I. Murchison, President, in the chair. The Hon. and Very Reverend the Dean Wetherell, Esq., were elected Fellows. of Windsor, T. E. Sampson, Esq., and N. T.

A memoir was first read, 'On the Geological Structure of the Crimea,' by Baron Stanislaus Chaudoir, and communicated by Sir Alexander Crichton.

A paper, by Thomas Bell, Esq., was afterwards read, 'On a New Species of Fossil Tortoise found in the lacustrine formation of Enin

gen. The memoir was illustrated by the fossil specimen, and by the skeleton of the recent allied species, Chelydra Serpentina.

Presents were announced from various contributors to the museum and library.

After the business of the evening, it was announced, that the Ordinary Meeting on the 15th of February would not take place, in consequence of the Annual General Meeting being fixed for the 17th of the same month.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Jan. 3.-A paper containing an account of the Horsforth seedling grape, was read; which stated the mode of treatment pursued in its cultivation, together with its peculiarities and character. The quality this grape possesses of keeping well, the fine appearance of the bunches when grown in sufficient heat, and the vigorous nature of the plant, render it a desirable variety. The colour of the berries is black, and the bunches have been known to attain the weight of 11 lbs and upwards. Specimens of the fruit illustrated this communication. Mr. Chandler, of Vauxhall, contributed to the exhibition, by sending some very beautiful camellias-a seedling pine-apple was also received from Mr. Daniel Moneychimonanthus, were included, from the Society's pears, and the sweet-smelling flowers of the garden.

Thomas Tomkyns, Esq., was elected a Fellow of the Society.

Jan. 17.-The results of the meteorological observations for the last three months, made in the garden at Chiswick, were read, as were also some notes respecting the Cannon Hall muscat grape. It was described as being a very beautiful and delicious kind, nearly resembling the muscat of Alexandria, equally rich, and by the side of which, it ripens fully a fortnight earlier. The exhibition was composed of Charlesworth Tokay grapes, from Mr. R. Buck, of Blackheath-Swedish turnips, (grown under peculiar circumstances,) from Mr. G. Mills, of Ilford, and pears, stalks of rheum undulatum, and apples from the garden of the Society. Major General Viney, was elected a Fellow of the Society.

LINNEAN SOCIETY.

Jan. 17.—A. B. Lambert, Esq., in the chair. -A portion of Mr. Ogilby's paper' On the Genera and Species of Marsupial Animals' was read in continuation. Mr. Allan Cunningham, John Bushman, Esq., and Dr. Wight were elected Fellows of the Society, and Mr. James Forbes, gardener to His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, at Chatsworth, was elected an Associate. Various donations, chiefly of books, were announced and placed on the table. The meeting was very fully attended; among the most distinguished members we noticed Mr. Brown, Mr. Burchill, Professor Henslow, Dr. Wallich, the Rev. W. D. Conybeare, Dr. Fitton, Mr. Charles Lyell, Mr. R. I. Murchison, Professor Sedgwick, &c.

WESTMINSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY.

CHOLERA, with its varied phenomena, has been the subject of debate at the several meetings since our last report. Papers have been read by Mr. Searle, Dr. Wilson Philip, and Dr. Whyte, each offering different opinions on the nature, peculiarities and treatment of the disease. Many members bore testimony in favour of the

exhibition of mustard as an emetic, in the onset of the disorder, and the application of the actual cautery (as Dr. Lange, of Cronstadt, recommends) to the spine, in the more severe stages of the complaint. Dr. Johnson especially called the attention of the Society to the fact, that in almost every case of cholera now prevailing epidemically in Sunderland, Newcastle, &c., there had been premonitory symptoms of gastric irritation, and on that account he also advised the early exhibition of emetics. The interest of the subject was at last so materially diminished, that the discussion was adjourned sine die.

The Society met at their old rooms in Sackville Street on Saturday last, when Mr. Winslow read a very able paper on Phrenology, in connection with the cure of Insanity. We were not able to remain the whole evening, but have un

The King. This portrait of William IV. is drawn on stone by Lane, from a sketch by Morton, and will, no doubt, be considered very like. It is, however, too feeble in the whole character for our taste, and wants vigour about the mouth to be a correct resemblance of the original.

Mazeppa.-There is great freedom, and not a little extravagance in these two beautiful engravings by the Lucases after the celebrated paintings of Horace Vernet. Our readers will, no doubt, recollect from the first engravings, which had so extensive a sale, that the pictures represent the future Lord of the Ukraine in his adventurous journey, accompanied by wolves, and eagles, and horses of the desert. In our opinion, the anatomy of the Desert Born' is too visible, and the agony of the naked rider is not visible enough.

Landscape Illustrations of Byron.-This work is at once cheap and beautiful, and cannot fail to be acceptable to all who are purchasers of Murray's monthly volumes of the works of the noble poet. There are four landscapes-viz. Lachin-y-gair, in the Scottish Highlands, Belem Castle, Lisbon, the Eastern Yanina, and Corinth. Of these, Yanina is very beautiful: but perhaps some purchasers will prefer the portrait of the 'The Maid of Athens,' who, to much loveliness, adds

The drowsy look that speaks the melting soul. The portrait is by Allason, but the landscapes are by Stanfield. Of these illustrations there will be fourteen monthly parts at half-a-crown each; they are engraved by the Findens.

Lakes of Scotland. This is the fifth part of a very beautiful national work. The lakes and mountains of Scotland, the hills of Wales, and the valleys of England, are full of the finest pictures; and our artists would do well to study the beauties of their native land a little more than they do. The scenes in this undertaking are painted by Fleming, engraved by Swan, and described by Leighton: and the Part before us has a view of Loch Veol, and two views of Loch Earn. We have heretofore given this work high praise, and we see no reason for abating it. Characteristic Sketches of Animals, by Thomas

Landseer.-Our favourite in No. VII. is 'The Ourang Outang.' There is something grave and statesman-like in his looks: he has a forehead

which Spurzheim would love, an extent of mouth worthy of a corporation dignitary, and he sits in the cleft of his old tree like a hoary and crabbed critic in his easy chair, pronouncing judgment on works of genius.

Spirit of the Plays of Shakspeare. No. 22. London, Cadell.

THE present number, containing twenty-three plates illustrative of Troilus and Cressida, and Pericles, is one of the best we have seen: there is truth and simplicity in many of the designs. We need not add, that character and costume are preserved throughout with great care,

MUSIC

Old Friends with New Faces: for the flute. Book I. T. Lindsay. Cramer & Co. THE Address prefixed to this collection of national melodies explains Mr. Lindsay's object in publishing "Old Friends with New Faces," or, rather, "Old Tunes with New Graces;" and the explanation has saved him from a premeditated attack. Simple melodies are sacred things with us: the very mention of embellishments roused our anger, and we inclined to discourse fully on the much abused licence of musical embellishments. Mr. Lindsay's observations on this subject, however, are sensible, and deserve perusal. The work is to be brought out in numbers, and will form a pleasant collection of popular melodies, exclusively British.

Caprice Brillant. Chaulieu. Purday. THE melody of Mr. Purday's song, 'The Maid of Llanwellyn,' is here presented to the English public after the caprice of Monsieur Chaulieu, enveloped in a cloud of rapid and common-place passages. Publishers should use a little discretion in selecting themes for the factory of Mons. Chaulieu-amongst those least adapted for manufacturing into a pianoforte-piece, is time, is difficult to deal with for variations and Mr. Purday's melody. A thema, in six-eight

A tragic drama, in three acts, called 'Catherine of Cleves,' was presented here for the first time on Wednesday. It is, as is very modestly stated by Lord Leveson Gower, in his preface to the printed copy, an adaptation of Mons. A. Dumas's tragedy of 'Henri III.' M. Dumas's play has been acted in Paris with very great success, and the work of the noble author of the English version has been, as he says, one rather of omission than alteration. Still, when a fiveact play is reduced to a three, the omissions must necessarily involve considerable alterations: in the present case, at all events, they have done so, and such alterations are not, to our thinking, for the better. It has not been our good fortune to see the original acted, but we read it with much interest, and certainly thought it capable of being done for the English stage much more effectively than it has been by his lordship. The English play is unquestionably a graceful production, and one which must be allowed to be free from offence; but there is a

conduct. It is a production which might have want of vigour both in the writing and general come from the pen of any one of liberal education and good taste, who had the French play before him. It is, in short, more suited to the closet than the stage-more like what we should expect to be done by his lordship or any nobleman, gentleman, or lady of a literary turn, suddenly called upon to prepare something for private theatricals, when

"Cloudy mist every valley and hill buries"

[blocks in formation]

"Block up that staring mahogany door." Lord Leveson Gower says, in the same preface, in speaking of M. Dumas's play, that he (M. Dumas)

[ocr errors]

has aimed at combining, with the attainment of the usual objects of tragic representation, copious illustrations of the manners of the historical period at which his action is laid ;" and then continues, "In pursuit of this object, much and minute allusion to the persons, the events, and the costume of the day, has been skilfully interwoven into his scenes, which could not have been made intelligible to any but a Parisian audience." This appears to us a strange mistake into which his lordship has fallen. It is precisely a faithful representation of the costume, the peculiar pursuits, and even the traditional frivolities of courts and individuals of any given period, which puts the hall-mark of truth upon a scene of performance, and gives to a historical drama an interest over and above that which can possibly attach to any work of unmingled fiction.

In M. Dumas's play, for instance, if we remember rightly, the nobles and others engaged in the scene in which the quarrel takes place between the Duc de Guise and cording to the effeminate custom of that day, Paul Caussade, are amusing themselves, acwith various games which are now the exclusive property of children. Thus, Caussade answers the challenge of Guise, by blowing a sweetmeat at him through a pea-shooter. Shakspeare would have used this incident, Dumas has done so, and we do not see why Lord Leveson Gower should have omitted it. Neither can we understand why it would have been unintelligible to an English audience: they can surely comprehend, as well as any other audience, that which they see; and this act, though frivolous in itself, would, we should think, have been respected for its historical accuracy. The incident of Henri's turning the tables upon Guise, after he has promised to grant him a boon, by naming himself chief of the League, is wholly lost in the English play. It is highly dramatic, and might have been made very effective, yet we hear nothing of it, except from Henri himself, who mentions, in an after-conversation with St. Megrin, that he has done so. The acting, like the play itself, was even and good; but the language, though, as we have before said, smooth and graceful, was not so dramatic or so forcible as the situations called for, and the consequence naturally was, an evident want of excitement in all concerned. Mr. Kemble seemed scarcely recovered from his recent illness, but he acted with much elegance, and with his wonted discrimination and good taste. Miss Kemble in the Duchess of Guise, was much applauded-her delineation of the character was very effective, but we think it would have been more so, if it had been less vehement in certain passages. The other principal characters were well sustained by Mr. Warde, Mr. G. Bennett, Mr. J. Mason, and Mr. Abbott. Some of the situations are extremely good, and the piece was received by a full and fashionable audience, with considerable satisfaction, and without the slightest disapprobation. We have no complaint to make of what his lordship has done, we only complain of what he has not. The play reads better than it acts, and will most likely have a considerable

sale.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

"Take care of your pockets," is a cry which is common outside a theatre, but "Take care of your sides," seems likely to be the common cry inside this little Temple of Momus. Madame Vestris has added another burletta, called 'He's Not A-miss," to her laughing stock. Aided by the admirable acting of Mrs. Glover and

Mr. Liston, it has had the good fortune to prove an admitted follower of its most favourite predecessors. Mr. James Vining also plays extremely well, in this airy trifle, which we may state, on the authority of The Times, to be 'a palpable hit." The Olympic is crowded every night, and, be the success of the pieces produced greater or less, the fair lessee continues to set before her brother managers a practical lesson upon the fallacy and absurdity of the puffing system, by rigidly abstaining from anything of the sort. Some people "don't know nothing, and won't be larned." The author of 'He's Not A-miss,' is Mr. Charles Dance.

MISCELLANEA

Birth-day of Robert Burns.-Our readers will see, from an advertisement in this day's paper, that it is intended to celebrate the birth-day of Robert Burns with unusual éclat. The circumstance of the Ettrick Shepherd being in London for the first time, and his birth-day falling on the same day, has suggested to the admirers of genius, to do honour to both on this occasion.

Fossil Forest discovered at Rome. In the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, for this month, there is a description of a fossil underground forest, lately discovered by a pedestrian tourist, (Dr. Weatherhead, we believe,) above forty feet in thickness, and extending along both sides of the Tiber, for several miles. The petrific matter is a calc-sinter; and, from the layers of ligneous débris being freely intermixed with volcanic dust, the discoverer of this interesting fact in volcanic geology is of opinion, that this colossal phenomenon was occasioned by an earthquake, of which the memory is lost, probably long prior to the foundation of Rome. Not less singular than the phenomenon itself, is the circumstance, that it should have escaped the observation of the scientific for so many

ages.

Exhibition at the Louvre.-The works of art for the Paris Exhibition this year, which commences 1st of April, will be received from the 1st to the 15th of March.

French Drama.-The Paris Theatres have produced, during the last year, 272 new pieces: -2 tragedies; 27 dramas; 19 comedies; 21 operas ; 30 melo-dramas; 2 ballets; 171 vaudevilles:-172 authors have received "the honours." Scribe, always the most prolific, has produced 13 pieces.

Alpine Phenomena." Soon after six o'clock in the morning of the 14th of November (says a letter from Bruneck in the Tyrol,) a broad stream of light suddenly descended from the centre of the firmament nearly down to the ground, and was then drawn gradually up again to the middle of the sky, whence, for several seconds, it stretched itself out towards the north in a long ray of light, which first appeared in a straight, and then changed to a wavy line; after this, it gathered into a light orb, resembling a white cloud, and remained stationary in the centre of the firmament for a full quarter of an hour, when it disappeared with the break of day. The appearance was accompanied by so vivid a degree of illumination, that the smallest pebble in the road was readily distinguishable, and those who were abroad at the time, were completely panic-struck. The sky, instead of being muddy with vapour, as is customary at this season and

at this time of the morning, was clear and cloud. less, and the air remarkably serene and tranquil. Between five and six o'clock, however, an unusual number of falling stars were observed in various parts of the heavens."

The Learned Vulgar in Poland.-As a proof that so far back as the fifteenth century, even the lowest classes in Poland were not shut out from the light of education, we may recall to mind, that three of the most eminent scholars of those times, namely, Janicki, a Latin poet, Kromer, one of the best Polish historians, and Dantiscus a Curiis, the poet, were sons of mechanics or countrymen. The latter was sent as envoy to England, the States of the Church, and other countries; Kromer rose to the dignity of Prime-bishop of Wärmeland; and Janicki was crowned as "Poeta Laureatus," by Pope Clement the Seventh.

Russian Navy.-One day, when I was on board the Azoff, a man fell from the main-yard into the sea, narrowly missing the admiral's barge, which was alongside. On rising to the surface, the admiral applied his cane pretty smartly to the man's shoulders; and on my expressing some commiseration for the poor fellow's misfortune, the admiral exclaimed, "Ah, the d-d rascal! he was near breaking my barge to atoms."MS. Journal of an Officer.

The Peak of Teneriffe.-The summit of this peak (says M. Berthelot, in a letter to a friend written during a recent visit,) presents a cavity of about six hundred feet in diameter, and one hundred and twenty in breadth. The edges of this crater are going to decay; its bottom is covered with a reddish, slippery, heated substance, which appears to contain a considerable portion of oxide of iron. This species of volcanic paste hardens quickly upon removal. some spots is a substance, which is white and less doughy, and, upon being analyzed, yields sulphate in combination with ammonia. Beneath these layers of white and red substances, lie the well-known crystals of sulphur. The bottom and sides of the crater are full of fissures, from which issue infected vapours, and the vicinity of these ducts is of so parching a temperature, that it is impossible to remain long on the same spot. It is affirmed, that the heat of the crater has been gradually increasing for several years; if this be true, how painful is the inference to which it leads, under the critical situation in which the inhabitants of Teneriffe would be placed, if the Teyde should be roused from the slumber in which it appears to be buried! Hence the remark made by a preceding naturalist, "Under these circumstances, there is not a single hour which may not be the last of a whole race!"

Agricultural School for the Poor.-A Mr. Vernet, of Geneva, has a large estate called Carra, on which a school of this description has existed for the last ten years. It is under the care of M. Gerhardt, who founded the school for the poor at Hofwyl. None but entirely destitute children, such as would not have received any, or, if any, the most wretched kind of instruction, are admitted into it; they are carefully educated until they reach the age of twenty, are employed constantly in various pursuits connected with agriculture and mechanics, and are thus fitted for filling the situations of workmen, domestic servants, and agricultural labourers. There are forty acres of meadow, arable-land, and gardenground, entirely cultivated by them; and thirty of the children belonging to the school are maintained by the voluntary donations of the inhabitants of Geneva, at a cost of two hundred and fifty pounds per annum; though it should be observed, the labour of the children themselves produces as much as a moiety of that amount. Independently of the value of the food raised on the spot, the annual expense of their maintenance does not exceed eighty pounds. -Quarterly Journal of Education.

Each Part will be embellished with about Twelve Copperplates, supplementary to those published in the new edition of Trusler's 'Hogarth Moralized,' to which work this volume will form a suitable companion.

"We are glad to see this cheap and valuable republication. A dozen clever plates, and 80 pages of letter-press, for six shillings, is a bargain; and not the less so that the work is calculated to be bound up with Major's late reprint of notes and select plates from the same great moral artist."-Atheneum,

Each Number contains four exquisitely-coloured figures of the most suitable plants for ornamenting the Garden or Pleasure Ground, together with such information connected therewith as may be interesting to the botanist, useful to the cultivator, or pleasing to the general reader.

Comment on the execution, the cheapness, or the utility of this favourite of the public, would now be superfinous. Its success has exceeded that of any similar publication. Three Volumes and a half, or Seven Parts, are completed, and are universally allowed to constitute the most elegant, and, at the same time, the cheapest botanical work ever published.

By MISTRESS MARGARET dods, Of the Cleikum Inn, St. Ronan's. "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, sober, instructive, business-like pages, right on end, without one particle of wit whatever; then come as many more sprinkled with facetia; and then half-a-dozen of broad mirth and merriment. This afternation of grave and gay is exceedingly agreeable."-Blackwood's Magazine.

"We have no hesitation in saying, that if the humorous Introduction is not written by Sir Walter Scott, the author of it possesses a singular talent of mimicking his best comic manner, and has presented us with an imitation of the great novelist, as remarkable for its fidelity, facility and cleverness, as anything in the Rejected Addresses.-The Remarks on keeping Game, we should not omit to say, are very bold and judicious."-Monthly Review.

"There cannot be too many editions of Meg's precepts,"New Monthly Magazine.

"In addition to everything which the Cook or Housekeeper can desire in such a Manual, Mrs. Margaret Dods' Treatise is sprinkled with the salt of rare Scottish wit, and rivals Dr. Kitchiner's learned work, both in variety and pleasant humour," -Athenæum.

By GEORGE STANLEY FABER, B.D.
Rector of Long Newton.

+++ The object of this work is to combine together the various Prophecies both of the Old and of the New Testament, which treat of the grand double PERIOD of SEVEN TIMES: a period, coinciding with those times of the Gentiles, which, evolving in strict chronological succession, are thence justly styled by Mede THE SACRED CALENDAR OF PROPHECY. In the present both much more extensive and much more complete work, the author has been enabled, at once, to rectify various errors in his preceding publications, and to give a better arrangement (extending down to the present day) of that part of the prophetic volume which he believes to have been already unfolded.

AN HISTORICAL ATLAS.

By EDWARD QUIN, Esq., M.A.,

Of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, and Barrister-at-Law, of the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn.

Being a series of Maps of the world as known at different periods; constructed upon an uniform scale, and coloured according to the political changes of each period: accompanied by a Narrative of the leading Events exhibited in the Maps; forming together a general view of Universal History. Imperial Quarto, price 34. 10s. half-bound.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

New Monthly Magazine, March.

"We have seldom had the pleasure of reviewing a more ingenious, elegant, and at the same time philosophical and useful work. It is well worthy of public attention as a specimen of art, independently of its merits as an original and eminently-useful auxiliary to the study of the most important branches of human knowledge."

Christian Observer, January.

"Mr. Seeley has published a highly-useful series of twentyone Maps, with Historical Illustrations by Mr. Quin. They are all on the same scale, and successively point out, from the Creation to the year 1828, the progress of Geographical Discovery, the rise and decay of Nations and Empires, and their Political Changes; so that, by merely glancing the eye on any Map, we discover the actual state of the world at its date; and by comparison with any other, the alterations which have occurred; every place being in the same relative spot in the successive plates, and the tints and colouring being significant, and connected with the accompanying Text, which contains a well-condensed Syllabus of Universal History. We know of no publication which forms a more valuable and interesting Companion for the Historical and Geographical Student, or for the instruction of Young Persons."

Eclectic Review, December, 1830.

"The plan of this work is, as far as we are aware, as novel as It is ingenious. It is admirably adapted to facilitate the study of history to young persons. No memoria technica can be equal to lessons presented in a form which can hardly fail to impress even the imagination; for these Maps have almost the interest of a picture, and the changes they represent resemble the shifting of a dramatic scene. Upon the whole, the work strongly recommends itself to both teachers and pupils. It is got up with great neatness-will be found very useful and convenient for the purpose of reference, and forms an admirable basis of a course of historical lectures or private study.

Literary Gazette, October 9.

"The ingenious and beautiful work before us, is decidedly the best-constructed railway for the rapid and easy communication of extensive and accurate historical knowledge that we have met with, even in this age of improved mental as well as material machinery.

"The Maps are twenty-one in number; and nothing can be more interesting and amusing than to turn them over, one after the other, and observe the gradual advance of civilization; from the Rembrandtish effects of the first, in which Eden is the only bright spot, amidst a mass of deep shadow, to the Rubenslike difusion of light, and of gay colours, by which the world in its present state is represented. The descriptions contain a condensed, but perfectly intelligible, and, as far as our inspection allows us to judge, correct narrative of all the great contemporaneous events of history. Whoever reads them attentively, assisting his comprehension, and insuring his remembrance, by an examination of the accompanying Maps, will acquire a knowledge of general history possessed by few; and will be admirably qualified to prosecute, with advantage, more minute inquiries into the history of any country, or epoch, which may have peculiar claims on his curiosity."

II.

Aids to Developement, or Mental and Moral Instruction Exemplified; in Conversations between a Mother and her Children. Two vols. 12mo. Price 12s. boards.

"The author of the work before us has evidently applied a very sagacious and cultivated mind, with patient investigation, to the subjects here treated of; and the public have here the results of such long-continued and close application, laid before them in a plain and interesting manner,a manner which is likely to be of singular utility to children and young persons, if read by themselves, as well as to parents."-Evangelical Magazine, September, 1829.

For this reason, as well as for the excellence of its design and general execution, we cordially recommend this work to those who think for themselves. The religious conversations are arranged with great skill, and as mere pieces of divinity, many of them are highly interesting."-Eclectic Review, August.
