EPITOME of ENGLISH LITERA-
TURE; or, A Concentration of the Matter of
STANDARD ENGLISH AUTHORS, on a Plan en.
tirely New; with Portraits, Biographical Sketches, &c.

Vol. HI. containing

LOCKE ON THE HUMAN UNDERSTANDING.
Vol. IV. will commence CLARENDON'S HISTORY
of the REBELLION, to be condensed into about one-
third, and forming three or four volumes, printed like
Scott's Novels, with many Engravings.
*.* The only existing Edition of Clarendon is in Eight
Vols. Bvo. price 31. 12s.
The object of this undertaking is to publish, in monthly
volumes, in a concentrated form, a Series of Standard
English Authors.

In
hist2tx_nofacts, and in philosophy no reasoning,
omitted or distorted, so as to render a reference to
the original author requisite, and thus the youth especially
of both sexes may become perfectly acquainted with authors
repulsive from their bulk alone, at a comparatively little
cost of time as well as price.
" Were all books reduced to their quintessence, many
abulky author would make his appearance in a pamphlet;
there would be scarce such a thing as a folio; and the
Works of au age would be contained on a few shelves."—
.Addison.

" The pruning hand of an Editor is ,to go over the
historical and philosophical volumes, and the rising gene-
ration are to have all the old lumbering quartos and octavos
compressed into duodecimo, and to become masters of
philosophy, with a comparatively trifling cost of time,
labour, and money. So he it ! we only regret that we
were born a generation too soon. The present specimen
certainly speaks well for the work; and, with its portrait
and very excellent biographical sketch, will be welcome to
many a freshman, either in or out of the Universities."—
Athenwum, No. ISO.
The Series will be confined to the popular productions
of writers in prose, and the following will be first selected :
BURNET, CLARENDON, GIBBON, HUME, RO-
BERTSON, BACON, ADDISON, GOLDSMITH,
JOHNSON, MILTON, SWIFT, &c.

The two first volumes contai❑ PALEY'S MORAL
PHILOSOPHY, EVIDENCES of CHRISTIANITY,
and part of LOCKE, with a Portrait of each Author.
Edited and printed under the superintendence of A. J.
Valpy, M.A., Red Lion-court, Fleet-street; and sold by
all Booksellers in town and country. Of whom Pros-
peetwes may be had.

AN OUTLINE of SEMATOLOGY ;
or Essay towards establishing a New Theory of
Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric.

*„* In this Work the Author explains, for the first
time, the nature of the relation which exists between
thought and language, a subject which has been left in a
very imperfect state by Stewart, Tooke, and other writers
on Metaphysics and Philology. He proposes to explain
the operations of the mind by Setnatology, or the Science
of Signs, and thus to explode the Doctrine of Ideology by
Locke. By this theory also the Author detects the vicious
peculiarity of the Syllogi.m called Aristotelian.

SCENES.
" The object of this book is to describe the more re-
markable edifices and situations of 'the French capital, in
association with the great events of which that city has
been the theatre. Paris has, unquestionably, many other
features of commanding interest,—its arts, its luxuries, its
municipal arrangements. But these are incessantly vary-
ing in their expression. Its Historical Scenes are per-
manent and indelible. They are to be traced, not in
monuments and inscriptions, but in the multifarious nar-
ratives of chronicles and memoirs, in the obscure records
of the middle ages, and in the pamphlet of yesterday. The
Barricades of the eague, and the Three Days of 1830, are
equally within thLe range of this subject. Extract from
Introduction.

The Second Part will be published on the 11th of
June, when the Volume may be had, bound in cloth,

11. CAPTAIN BASIL HALL'S NAVAL LIFE and
EARLY VOYAGES. Three small Vols. Vignette
Titles, 15s. boards.

" Captain Basil Hall, under the title of Fragments of
Voyages and Travels,' has published a kind of Autobio-
graphical Miscellany, the perusal of which has afforded us
several days of great enjoyment. It might have been
called Recollections of the more Striking Passages of a
Life at Sea. .It consists of a sort of retrospective view
of his career—of his experience—of his adventures—with
a pretty constant moral commentary upon the best mo-
tives and guides of action. The author intends his book
for the perusal of youth ; but we doubt much whether
youth will take the lively interest in it that we are very
sure age will. Of this agreeable work, we may add, that
it ought to be considered as a companion to all books of
voyages and ti aye's. We trust confidently to Captain Hall
for a continuation ; for be tells us that he wants only the
3pprobation of the public—which we take the liberty of
promising him."—Spectator.

SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT
OF ARTS.

Yesterday the rewards adjudged by the above
Society, during the present season, were presented
to the respective candidates, at Exeter Hall, in the
Strand, in the Strand, in the presence of a numerous
and highly respectable assemblage of the patrons
of the Society, and several hundreds of elegantly
dressed ladies, who graced the meeting by their
attendance.

JOSEPH III;ME, Esq., M.P., presided in the ab-
sence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex,
the President of the Society, who sent a letter, re-
gretting his inability to attend the meeting.
After the CHAIRMAN had enumerated some of the
benefits derived from the Society, a list of the
rewards adjudged by the Society to the respective
candidates was then read; and as the candidates ap-
peared, the Chairman complimented them on their
ingenuity and talent.

Among the candidates most worthy of notice,
from the utility of their inventions, we may include
the following:—
To E. S. Graeff, Esq., for his apparatus to enable
a woman who has lost a hand to work at her needle,
the large silver medal.

To Sir James Jamieson, New South Wales, for
his method of extirpating the stumps of trees, the
large gold medal.
To James Henderson, Esq., St, John's Wood,
for his communication on Piloga bark, the gold Isis
medal.

To Mr. D. Lockhart, of the Isle of Trinidad, for
nutmegs and mace, grown in a British `'Veit Indian
colony, the large gold medal.
In the class of design, or polite arts, several can-
didates were presented with medals. Among them
was one to whom the CHAIRMAN called the parti-
cular attention of the meeting,
Master J. Pasmore, 6, York-street, Covent-garden,
for an original composition of still life, the silver Isis
medal.

The CHAIRMAN observed that this lad, although
not more than eleven years of age, had already
received two medals from the Society; and his
brother, who was but a few years older, had received,
he believed, no less than seven.
The business of the day having concluded, the
CHAIRMAN congratulated the company on the highly
gratifying spectacle they had witnessed.
