" In point of binding, gilding, and ornament, the Oriental An
nual has hitherto been gorgeous, while its plates are always in a
first-rite style, and eminently illustrative of the glorious East.
The volume now before us, we are inclined to think, excels in these
particulars.—Monthly Review.

binding is perfeet.' —Literary- Gazette.

Humourous Engravings for ONE SHILLING.
On the Ist of December, (to be continued monthly, and to be com-
pleted in about Fourteen Numbers) was published,
SHE BLUE-COAT BOY, N 0.2.
or, DOMESTIC REMINISCENCES of MISTER
THOMAS BOUNCE,
By his friend and associate,
ABEL FUNNEFELLO.
With Three illustrative Etchings, by ANDREW CROOKED-
SHANKS.
" Pickwick having breathed his last, (observes the " True Sun"
of December 6, speaking of No. 2.) at least in the form of a
monthly—what will the town have next? The Blue-Coat Boy,
undoubtedly. We know not where to find a more fitting successor.
Although the author has not entered deeper than the outskirts of
his story, he affords too abundant evidence of that power of mind,
which with equal readiness assumes the droll, the serious, and the
satirical, to leave the most remote room for doubt of his ultimate
and most triumphant success. Many a rich scene is evidently in
store for the readers of this publication. The characters of
Bounce, and his half-and-half genteel-vulgar better-half, are de-
veloped with fine skill and discrimination. The etchings, of which
there are three in each number, are of themselves worth double
the price of the publication. Abel Funnefello deserves his name
richly, and will soon be heard of from the Lizard's point to the
Orkneys."

NEW PUBLICATION OF THE
141NCYCLOPIEDIA BRITANNICA,
11 In Monthly Half Volumes.
A REPUBLICATION of this great NATIONAL WORK,
in Monthly Half Volumes, price 18s. each, will be commenced on
the Ist of January next.
The high reputat►on which it has maintained throughout the Six
Extensive Editions which have already been disposed of, and more
especially the peculiar favour with which the present Edition, re-
modelled in all its departments, has been received, render alike un-
necessary any detailed explanation of its plan, or commendation of
the manner in which it has been executed. A provision of twelve
thousand pages of stereotype plates, and of four hundred engravings
on steel, afford ample security that the publication will proceed
with the most rigid punctuality to the completion of the Work.
In Paper, Typography, and beauty of Embellishment, as well
as in the Literary value of its contents, the present Edition will be
found very far superior to all which have preceded it. The style
of Binding will combine elegance with durability ; and the conve-
nient intervals at which the Parts will appear, recommends the
Work in an especial manner to those who wish to combine the ad-
vantage of a periodical supply of instructive and interesting reading
with the permanent possession of a great authoritative Repertory of
all the Departments of Human Knowledge. A Prospectus of the
Work will be found inserted in the leading Magazines and Review,
published during the months of November, December, and January.
