Its most remarkable portion bears upon an important question, on which there still exist some differences of opinion, vis. the intrigues which led to the junction of the Duke of Newcastle and Pitt, in 1757- The letters respecting the state of Ireland under the Viceroyalty of the Duke of Bedford also, are not a little interesting.”—Morning Herald. *»* Vol. III. to complete the work, is in preparation.

BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY Of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Half-volumes. 1 to 7- (AA to Az-Zubeydi —comprising the letter A). 8vo. 12*. each, cloth. *»* Published Quarterly.— The work will probably not exceed Thirty Volumes. “ VVe have carefully examined the articles under letter A, now completed, and have no reason to complain of any want of uniformity. There seems to have been, on the whole, a judicious apportioning of space, according to the importance of the individual. In order to secure this necessary uniformity, a society, which had no pecuniary profit as its end, was more likely to succeed than a private publisher, or body of publishers. In style, execution, and completeness, the lives are far superior to those of any biographical dictionary with which joe are acquainted. The only one, indeed, icith which, for completeness, it can be compared, is the Trench ‘ Biographic Universele,’ but in this respect it has very greatly the advan- tage.” [ The reviewer institutes a comparison in favour of the English work, too long to be quoted, and ends his paragraph as follows -•]—“So that the Society’s Dictionary must be regarded as a labour not only for Great Biitain, but for Europe. In all the articles there are two points in which they are fuller and more accurate than any previous work of the kind; and these are, the titles, dates, and places of publication of books, and their editions, and the sources from whence the materials have been derived for the biography.”—Athenaiuro.

Gd. cloth. 11 This comprehensive and informing essay will be found invaluable to the practical brewer and private families; to the former we recommend it as a work ably treating of their art; to the latter, as one which they will find an ef/lcient and correct guide. This edition fully bears out the statement on the title-page —that it has been * much enlarged and improved.' ’’ Chemist.

Uuder the revision of Sir Henry Ellis, lv.H., Principal Librarian of the British Museum. Imperial Svo. 31*. Grf. half-bound morocco. “ The arrangement adopted in this extended edition of Dr. Blair’s valuable work is most admirable; each table comprising the space of half a century, and exhibiting, in parallel columns, contemporary kings and rulers, the chief events that marked the history of their time, and the most celebrated characters who flourished in their age. As an aid to the study of history, and as a general work of reference, the tables are of great utility ; and we are satisfied that, as their merit becomes knoicn, no one to whom they are accessible will ever take up a history without having this volume open before him. It is to our view an indispensable companion to every collection ofhistoiy, however small.— Britannia.
