THE CURTAIN; or, ENGLISH ENTR'-
ACTE.
On MONDAY, January 18, (and with the Morning Papers daily,)
will be published No, I. of the CURTAIN; or, English Entr'Acte,
price One Penny.
In announcing the early appearance of this long-desired addition
to our daily literature, it seems only necessary to remark, that with
all the attractions usually offered to the reading public, TILE CUR-
TAIN addresses itself more peculiarly to three classes :-
1. To the Lover of the Drama, in all its varied forms of Tragedy,
Comedy, Opera, Farce, Vaudeville, and Ballet, it will present a
complete herald and record of every occurrence of interest in the
vast theatrical world.
2. To the Literary, to all who love to trace the workings of fancy,
or relish wit and humour, abundant food will be offered and sup-
plied from the pens of the most celebrated and popular writers of
our time.
3. To advertisers it will prove of the highest importance, as a ve-
hicle for the widest possible dissemination of their announcements,
and afford the most unwonted facilities, inasmuch as, independent
of its general circulation, THE CURTAIN will, by exclusive and
express appointment of the several managements, be sold nightly,
as in Paris, in every theatre in the metropolis; and on the first day
of publication, no less a number than Ten Thousand will be gra-
tuitously distributed in the various theatres.

FNCYCLOP/EDIA BRITANNICA.
Seventh Edition. Edited by Professor NAPIER.
An Index of 68,000 References, compiled with great industry and
judgment, is appended to the work, forming a ready key to its multi-
farious contents.
" This is the really cheap Encyclopaedia, for that only is cheap
which is excellent. New that the country is being deluged with diluted
stuff, compounded from Germany and America, what hope is there
for the science and literature of England, that publishers dare ever
again venture on such another work as this,"—Athenaeum.
" An Australian or New Zealand settler, who left his home with
no other accomplishment but that of being able to read, write, and
count, might, with such a companion, beguile his long and weary
voyage, and become a well-informed man before he reached his desti-
nation."—Quarterly Review.
Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh; and sold by all Booksellers.

The Work is In every respect accommodated to the present ad-
vanced state of Geographical Research ; and wheth, r on the ground
of accuracy, beauty of execution, or cheapness, the Publi,hers invite
a comparison with any other Work of its class.
Large enough to be distinct, without being so large as to be un-
wieldy ; it has all that any one can require for general use, and all
that could be introduced without making it too bulky or too expen-
sive, and so counterbalance its principal intention.''—Church of Eng-
land Quarterly Review.
