    CRITICAL NOTICES OF WORKS By JOHN MURRAY, F.S.A., F.L.S., F.H.S., F.G.S., §c. I. AN INVENTION FOB FORMING AN INSTANTANEOUS COMMUNICATION IN SHIPWRECK. In Svo, with a Plate.—Price 2s. Qd. Note.—The National Institution for Preservation from Ship- WKECK has already established this Invention on the Sussex Coast. Tliis Invention is exceedingly simple, but appears capable of much useful application. The design seems entitled to high commendation.— Friends'Magazine, April 1. We trust that this pamphlet will meet with immediate attention from the numerous bodies of humane associations which have been formed in this country on the same benevolent principles as seem to have actuated Mr. Murray. The compliment is challenged with tenfold force in favour of a contrivance which has for its author a gentleman with the information, ex- perience, and abilities of Mr. Murray.—Monthly Review, April 1. The Life-Preserving Arrow.—Mr. Murray's description is perspi- cuous, and the simplicity and apparent efficacy of the Invention are such as to recommend it strongly to general attention.—Spectator, April 16. Mr. Murray's active and philanthropic mind has been turned to the discovery of a simpler and less expensive apparatus for conveying a line from the shore to a vessel in distress than that of Capt. Manby.—Leeds Mercury, May 21. Mr. Murray's Invention is most important, and will, no doubt, be pro- perly appreciated and encouraged. In its success every man of common feeling must take a deep interest.—Liverpool Mercury and Kakidescope, July 30. •' —It is a subject of much importance to a nation like ours, and every attempt to save Shipwreck Mariners, deserves close examination and due encouragement. The merits of Capt. INIanby's invention have been honor- ably rewarded, and we hope that the efforts of Mr. Murray will not be dis- regarded.—Imperial Magazine, Aug. J. Note.—A SUPPLEMENT, descriptive of New Experiments, &c., is also pri nted. II. In l2mo., Price As. REMARKS ON THE DISEASE CALLED HYDROPHOBIA; PROPHYLACTIC AND CURATIVE. Mr. Murray (who always recommends himself to our attention by his skill in the valuable art of condensation) has furnished us with a great deal of what may be called the Literature of Hydrophobia.—Monthly Review, July 1. The work displays both ability and learning, and is calculated to be j)opular and uscl'ul.—Leeds Mercury, June 19. We hail with ])leasure the excellent little volume of Mr. Murray, an able Chemist, on this subject. We think his opinions of the nature of the disorder are worthy of great attention, and that his chemical plans of cure
