    WORKS JUST READY FOR PUBLICATION. In 12mo., uniform with Pinnock’s Histories. The HISTORY of the OVERTHROW of the ROMAN EMPIRE, and the Formation of the principal European States. By W. C. TAYLOR, LLD., M.R.A.S., & F.S.S. 12mo. The LYRE of DAVID; or ANALYSIS of the PSALMS in Hebrew, critical and practical, with a HEBREW AND CHALDEE GRAM- MAR. By Vicrorinus BYTHNER; translated by the Rev. THOMAS DEE, A.B. Ex-Sch. J.C.D. To which are added, by the translator, TABLES of the Imperfect Verbs and a PRAXIS of the first eight Psalins. A desire to read the Sacred Scriptures in the original tongue has become of late evidently very prevalent in these kingdoms. Three months’ industrious study, with good books, will effect that desirable object. The number of Hebrew radical words is 1867 ; of these 1184 occur in the Psalms: it is plain, then, that a thorough knowledge of the Psalms very nearly amounts to a thorough know- ledge of the language. Bythner’s Lyra is, as all the learned know, the very best work on the Psalms; nearly two centuries have gone by since its first publica- tion, and it still stands in all its freshness of estimation, unrivalled by any work that has since appeared on the same subject. Yet, excellent though it is, until now there has appeared no English version of it, and so it has remained a closed book to the English student. Such a translation, so manifestly called for, will be presented to the English reader, with much unnecessary matter omitted, and several judicious additions made ; and which, as the editor trusts, will be found more correct than any preceding edition in the original Latin. New edition, carefully revised, and giving the latest state of the Representation, royal 32mo. Price 4s. bound, gilt and lettered. The PARLIAMENTARY POCKET COMPANION, for 1836. Contents :—All Peers of Parliament, their Ages, Marriages, Residences, Offices, Church Patronage, &c. List of Places returning Members, with their Population, £10 Houses, Assessed Taxes, prevailing Interests, &c. and several particulars connected with the last Election, including the Number of Voters registered, the gross Poll at each Contest, and the Number who voted for each Candidate. Members of the House of Commons, their Residences, Professions, Offices, Church Patronage, Political Principles and Pledges, the Places for which they formerly sat, and other Particulars of their Public Life. Lists of the Cabinet Ministers, the chief Public Functionaries, Parliamentary Agents, Offices of both Houses, British and Foreign Ambassadors, &c. Also, a Variety of Miscellaneous Information connected with the foregoing, and with the several Public Offices. The whole carefully compiled from Official Documents, and from the personal Communications of Members of both Houses. “It seems to be the most useful and the best executed of the many similar works that have issued from the press.”— ‘James. ‘* We can safely recommend this epitome of Parliamentary biography.”—New Monthly Magazine. “This is a very neat and compendious manual, which every man who either hears, or reads, or talks about the debates in Parliament, ought to possess.”—Morning Post. *“‘ It contains within waistcoat pocket dimensions, just what is required to apprise the ignorant, and to remind the forgetful of all that need be known or remembered in reading a newspaper, of the Peers, of the Commoners, and of the places which the latter represent.”— Record. “‘ Being entirely free from political bias, it must be acceptable to all parties. We know it to be surprisingly accurate.’—Hull Advertiser.
