SHARP'S BRITISH GAZETEER.

Just published, uniform with Johnston's New General Gazetteer of
the World, in Two Volumes, Bvo., price £2 16s, cloth.
itNEW GAZETTEER, or TOPOGRAPHI-
CAL DICTIQNARY of_.the BRITISH ISLANDS plid
NARROW SEAS. ByJAME A. SHARP, Esq.

" e have already had occasion to mention this book, and a careful
examination of its contents has convinced us of its great value. The
remarkable clearness with which its condensations and abbreviations
are made, appears to us its most admirable feature. We have no book
or similar bulk In the language containing anything like the amount
of information of various kinds so w.. 11 arranged and so easily acces-
sible as in this new gazeteer. Every article bears the mark et studied,
careful, and exact compilation. It comprehends both the topography
and hydrorraphy of the United Kingdom, and is constructed on the
plan of facilitating reference by bringing together as many articles as
possible under distinct heads.. • . All the positions have been retaken
rom the maps ; and not only the county but the quarter of the county
given in which a name might be looked for. We must, in short, re-
peat VT ith a liberal acquiescence what Mr. Sharp himself remarks of
his five years' diligent labour, that it will be found to comprise, in a
clew and legible type, more substantial info. mation, collected from
orit,lll,l sources, and put Into a convenient form, than the bulkiest of
its cIass."—EXAMINER.
