TO MECHANICS AND ARTISANS•

---
An entirely new Work, now publishing in Monthly Parts, peke Is.
each, entitled
THE MECHANIC'S GALLERY of SCIENCE and
ART: comprehending a Series of distinct Treatises on the
following Subjects:—
Architecture and Building • Comb-Making
Basket-Making Coopering
Block-Making Cotton Manufacture
Book-Binding Currying
Brewing Cutlery
Brush sk ing Dyeing and Bleaching
Button-Making Engineering
Cabinet-Making Enamelling
Carpentry and Joining Engraving
Carving and Gilding File-Making
1 winch-Making Foundery
And every other description of Science and Art throughout the
Alphabet ; combining all the advantages of a large and expensive
Encyclopedia, at a comparatively small coat.
By C. F. PART INOTON,
Of the Loadott jnsutution, Author of an Historical and Descrip-
tive Account of the Steam Engine, /lc. &c.
The prominent advantages of this work to artisans and mechanics
will be, that every department of science and art will be complete
in itself, sod may be purchased separately. Watch and cluck.
making, for instance, will exclusively occupy the first and second
parts ; so of other arts, some of which will be completed in one
part ; others in two or three, according to the extent of their rupee.
tive treatises. By which means, every practical man, who may
not require the whole work, may, at any time, furnish himself with
such portions of it as best accord with his particular pursuit.
For the greater convenience of Mechanics, the Work will also be
published in Weekly Numbers, price 4d. each. The First Part
and the First Number are now ready for delivery.

•' We take the liberty of recommendinp to the notice of such of
our readers as ate concerned in the education of youth, the labours'
of Mr. Hodgkin, which we consider as peculiarly calculated to faci-
litate the adoption of that plan for the improvement of the memory,

A COMPENDIUM of ALGEBRA, with Notes and Dc.
monstrations, spewing the reason of every Rule, designed for the
use of Schools and those Persons who have not the advantage of a
Preceptor; the whole arranged on a plan calculated to abridge the
labour of the ;faster and facilitate the improvement of the Pupil.
By George Phillips. Author of •• A Treatise on the Construction
and Use of a Case of Mathematical Instruments." 3s. hound.
" This is a clever compendium of a most useful branch of %lathe-
mati,Al Science, for every person ought to be acquainted with
' Algebra. The Author's object is to abridge the labour of the
Master, or to render a Master unnecessary, by familiarizing the
subject so as to facilitate the study, and, consequently, lessen the
period usually spent in acquiring this essential part of education.
Such are his avowed objects, and his work is well calculated to in-
sure them."—Literary Chronicle,. March 16, 1112 d.
A KEY to the above.
A NEW GRAMMAR of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE, in-
cluding the fundamental principles of Etymology, Syntax, and Pro-
sody; in which it is attempted, by a new arrangement of the Verb,
to remove the perplexity and confusion hitherto found in several
Tensca of the Potential Mood, and the future of the Indicative:
with notes and illustrations, critical and explanatory. By T. (S.
Churchill, translator of " Herder's Philosophy of History," and
0 Bossut's History of 3lathematics." 12ino. tos. bound.
'• The Grammar of !.oath seems especially. to have served this
Author for a model; but he has made many just corrections in it,
and many valuable additions to it, and has enlarged that compendious
introduction ,to the English Language into a comprehensive
treatise, illustrated by numerous critical notes. Murray and
Crombie have been consulted; so have Sheridan's Orthoepy and
Walker's Rhyming Dictionary; and the result is a copious body
of information concerning tbe analogies and anomalies, the peculiari-
ties and niceties, of our tongue, more adapted, perhaps, for the
proficient than the beginner, but truly instructive, and perpetually
elegant. On the whole, this Work frequently deserves consulta-
tion, and will tend to a critical acquisition of our language."
