Cicero remarks, that not to know what has been trans-
acted in former times, is to continue always a child. If no
use he made of the labours of past ages, the world must
remain always in the infancy of knowledge ; and the learned
Dr. Parr says, " if you desire your son, though no great
scholar, to read and reflect, it is your duty to place in his
hands the best Translations of the best Classical Authors."
To those therefore, who are desirous of obtaining a know-
ledge of the most esteemed Authors of Greece and Rome,
but possess not the means or leisure for pursuing a regular
course of study, the present undertaking must prove a va-
luable acquisition ; for, so diversified are the objects to
which general education is at present directed, that suffi-
cient time cannot generally be allowed, for laying the
foundation of an adequate acquaintance with the most
popular Authors in the Greek and Latin Languages ; and
even in those instances, in which the object has been at-
tained—where the taste has been formed, and the habit of
occasional recurrences to the Classics has been preserved—
the facility of reference to a Series of correct and elegant
Translations must afford pleasure, and occasional assistance
even to the scholar.
The Selection is intended to contain those Authors,
whose works may with propriety be read by youth of both
sexes ; and the whole will be presented in a cheap, elegant,
and uniform size.
The excellence, as orators and historians, of Demosthenes,
Cicero, Herodotus, and Xenophon, will place them fore-
most in the collection of Prose Authors : these will be
followed by Thucydides, Livy, Sallust, Tacitus, tl/4c.
Homer, Virgil, and Horace, will justly take precedence
among the Poets.
Three Numbers are already published, comprising the
Orations of Demosthenes, Sallust, and the Anabasis of
Xenophon, and the publication will be regularly continued
on the first day of every month, so as to be delivered with
the Magazines and Reviews.
The testimonials in favour of this important undertaking
and its execution, being far too numerous to quote in an
advertisement, the publishers beg leave to refer the public
for them to the leading Journals and Periodicals of the day.
Orders (which to prevent mistakes, should be particu-
larly, pecified as being for Valpy's Family Classical Library)
are received by every Bookseller throughout the Kingdom.
Agents for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Brildfute ; for
Ireland, Mr. John Cumming.

PALMER'S IMPERIAL NEUROTIC BALSAM, OR
NERVOUS AND STOMACHIC RESTORATIVE.
THE very great success which has attended
the administration of the above medicine in cases
of low nervous debility, and the surprising effects which
have been produced in speedily restoring tone to debilitated
stomachs; and, by so doing, strengthening the digestive
organs, creating an appetite, and invigorating the whole
system, have induced the proprietor most strongly to re-
commend it to the notice of the public, and to assure them,
that, as an antidote against sickness, fainting, and hysteri-
cal affections, and as a Nervous and Stomachic Restorative,
it stands unrivalled, and is a speedy cure for the Ague.
The most satisfactory and respectable references might he
brought forward in its favour; but, as this method is fre-
quently adopted merely to deceive, and as a single bottle of
the Balsam will almost invariably afford tbe greatest relief,
if not ►wholly remove the complaint, the proprietor prefers
recommending a trial, and leaving it to stand on its own
merits.

THE TRAVELLER'S MEDICAL COMPANION ! !
MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAG-
. NESIAN APERIENT, for Bilious Affections,
Indigestion, Gout, Costiveness, &v. Patronized by a
numerous circle of the Nobility, and recommended by
most of the Faculty.
This agreeable and Efficient Purgative is universally
approved, and bids fair to supersede the Siedlitz Powders
and most other Saline Aperients.
Its purgati-te properties are not, however, the only quali-
ties it possesses ; it is equally useful in correcting acidity,
abating Fever, and restoring the tone of the stomach when
disordered by excess.
It forms an indispensable article in the outfit of all
Travellers, especially those visiting Tropical Climates—its
portability rendering it peculiarly eligible.
Whenever admitted to the Family Circle it becomes the
Medicine of favourite resort—Children as well as Adults
giving it the preference. From its agreeable taste, there
is no reluctance to the timely use of a purgative which is
wail known to prevent the accession of dire diseases.
Sold in Bottles at 21. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each, duty included,
• and may be had, Wholesale and Retail, of Moxon, Smith,
and Co., Chemists, Hull ; E. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's
Church-yard; Sutton and Co., Bow Church-yard; Bar-
! clay and Sons, 97, Fleet-market; Butler and Co.,

Dublin, and Edinburgh ; and in all the principal towns in
the United Kingdom ; Campbell, Exchange, llarnburgh ;

son, Quebec ; and in many other parts of the world.
N.B. Hand-bills, descriptive of the properties of the
above Medicine, with recommendatory testimonials, may
be had of the respective ♦enders.
To prevent imposition, the Stamp on each Bottle has
B. Moxon's signature, without which itcannot be genuine.

The taking off the leather tax, though small
in amount will be advantageous in various ways ; by the
vexatious nature of the excise regulations the process in the
tan-yard was so circumvented as very much to deteriorate
the quality of the article, while the duty was doubled and
trebled upon the consumer. It will also increase the
price of oak timber, by adding to the value of the bark.

OnWednesday,about one o'clock, as a hackney-
coach was driving out of Furnival's Inn, Holborn, it drove
over a lad about ten years of age, and the wheels passing
over his neck, injured him so much that he died within
five minutes afterwards. The driver of the coach was not
snore than sixteen years of age, and was taken to Hatton-
garden Office to answer for his carelessness.

SIR,-it appears, by an article in your valuable Paper
of the 16th tahen front the Morning Advertiser,
that the Chancellor of the I..4xclietithn‘ is determined to
carry into effect, as is there properly couched, Cie nffarious
measure of throwing open the Beer Trade, in order it ap-
pears to stamp ultimate ruin on the heads of that part of the
,:;onriunity which for so many years bore an unprecedented
burthen of the Ociiteintrit.nt.,,l say the burthen of the Go-
vernment (not the country) in cladding in the t,omfort and
support of his Majesty's troops, of which they bore di un-
exampled share. I beg leave, Mr. Editor, to ask through
the medium of your Paper, what the Chancellor has in
view to dispense with thequartering of his Majesty's troops
that are from time to time marching to and fro the king-
dom ? This question 3 Sir, I have not seen asked at any
time, or at any meeting that has been con*ened for the
consideration of this (I may, I trust, lie allowed to say)
impolitic step. For my own patil Mr: Editor; lam an
inhabitant of the city of Bath, where in the last :•,,er we had
billetted on us his Majesty's 2lst Regiment of Fusileers for
near three months, and from that circums'ance, I am sorry
to say, tan speak feelingly on that subject—most of the
small houses had six of that regiment billetted on them, for
Whom they were obliged to keep three beds and two
moths, besides the use of the kitiiheh, cooking utensils,
firing, and other necessaries for their accommodation. I
need not, Sir, tell you or the public, our small:pittance
allowed from the Government for all these oblettiosis
imposed-upon us. These beds and rooms, in the absence
of troops, the publicans in Bath are obliged to let out to
assist them paying their hsavr retita, I scarcely need add
the extra weight of taxes that has been lately discussed be-
fore the Chancellor, who was waited upon with perhaps
the most :respectable deputation that has been for some
time past appointed for so weighty a matter. Thus, while
this regiment was here, living as it were on our vitals,
we were losing near a pound per week ; in addition to this
we are so connected with the line of march for the re-
cruits, &c. that are landed at Bristol to pass through the
country (with the addition of the Staff of the 2d Somerset
Militia), that we are seldom a week free from imposts of
this nature—not that I wish to construe any thing that
is unpleasant on the poverty and distress of the Sister
Kingdom—but to speak the truth of many of these tin-
fortunate objects, they frequently leave our bedding, &c.
in such a filthy state that we are obliged to change it
for one night's sleeping in them.
These, with many other unpleasant things attached to
it, we as innkeepers and publicans are necessitated to put
up with. Hoping, Mr. Editor, I may not intrude on your
patience and room, I beg to make a few more remarks,
which I hope the Chancellor of the Exchequer may take
seriously into his consideration, which are well known
facts ; they are as follows :—hest that enter into the
public business venture their whole store in purchasing
fixtures, furniture, &c. &c., with utensils of different de-
scriptions for the accommodation of their customers, which
are, without an exception, valued to them at a rack price.
Now, Sir, should the Beer Trade be thrown open, what,
I ask, are these purchasers to do with a stock of their
useless things? The little capital that they have thus em-
barked, expecting to assist them through life, is nearly
sunk into the abyss of the ruinous plan of throwing open
the Beer Trade, for all those who think proper to brew
and sell beer; drunkenness will then become more preva-
lent, and the good order that now exists under the rigid
laws which keep innkeepers and publicans in subjection,
must then become corrupt, and society at large be
laid open to greater violations than ever existed before.

In addition to this, Mr. Editor, a house that is rented at
60 guineas a year, has 15 guineas annually to pay fur
beer, wine, and spirit licenses, besides tobacco licence,
and magistrates' certificate; and so on in proportion are
our taxes laid on both for church, state, and poor. Should
the Beer Trade be thrown open, our houses which are now
worth from forty to fifty and one hundred per annum,
will not then be worth half the money : this will be
another great sacrifice of property which certainly shoult:
have some weight in the matter.

I remain, Sir,
Your respectful servant,
Bath, March 17, 1830. CHAS. LEWIS.
