Atlas), and appropriate Views, engraved from the latest
Observations and Drawings of Modern Travellers.

The great' practical utility of Gazetteers, or Geogra-
phical Dictionaries, has been long acknowledged, and they
have been published, at various times, in every civilized
part of the world ; but, from their very nature, they re-
quire frequent revisal, to keep pace with the mutations
and discoveries which are continually occurring in human
affairs ; and the most cursory observer of the recent poli-
tical changes must be sensible that, at the present time,
a new publication of this kind is urgently required. To
meet such demand, it is intended that this work shall be
of size sufficient to contain every needful particular, yet
not be so diffuse as to put it beyond the reach of any class
of readers. It will contain ample descriptions of every
part of the known world, of which any authentic intelli-
gence has been received; and embodying a complete
Topographical Dictionary of Great Britain and Ireland;
in which every County, City, Borough, Township,
Parish, and Village in the United Kingdom, is introduced,
according to its relative importance to the whole commu-
nity, as respects its Commerce, Trade, or Manufactures ;
its Agricultural Produce, or its Mines and Mineralogical
Treasures; the Value of its real Property, agreeably to the
last Assessments; its Population, from the Census of 1831
—its Parliamentary Representatives, if any, as settled by
the Reform Bills ; with interesting accounts of remark-
able Antiquities, Natural Curiosities, &c
tfir The work will be published in Monthly Parts, in
royal octavo, each containing a Quarto Map, drawn and
engraved on steel, expressly for this work, and a highly-
fiaished Engraving of some celebrated City or Place. A
Part will be produced regularly with the Magazines on
the First of the Montb, price 2s. with plain Maps ; or,
with the Maps coloured, 2s. 6d. ; and the work will be
completed in Forty Parts, so as to form four handsome
volumes.

LITERARY PRESENTS.

MAJOR'S EDITIONS of WALTON'S
ANGLER and LIVES, Hogarth moralized, the
Pilgrim's Progress, and Robinson Crusoe, have been uni-
versally adopted for the above purpose, from their conspi-
cuous union of high and profuse embellishment with
standard literary merit.
The FIRST ENTIRE VOLUME of MAJOR'S CA-
BINET GALLERY of PICTURES, with 33 Line
Engravings, super royal Bvo., elegantly bound, only 365.,
will also be found to possess every requsite of a perpetual
treat for every genteel family circle ; unparalleled variety,
and unobjection dale selection of subject—admired writing,
calculated to improve and elevate the taste, and a style of
engraving calling to mind the days of Sharpe, Strange, and
Woollett! It is complete in itself if so desired, although it
cannot fail to secure an equally extensive patronage for the
second and concluding volume, when the whole will form
a Universal Monument of Pictorial Genius and Intelligence
never before attempted in a single work.
" The selection of subjects is unexceptionable, while
the charm of the letter-press contributes to enrich the
whole. Mr. Cunningham is as shrewd, ornate, and po-
etical as ever: every one goes cheerily along with him,
always wishing that the flowery path was longer."—
Morning Chronicle.
" In this age of finikin t Books of Beauty' and Annuals,
which go far in our opinion to destroy the school of en-
graving and of literature in this country, it .is pleasant to
see and to comment on a work like the present."—Na-
tional Standard.
"The great rush of the Annuals is probably drawing to
a close, and we are sure that Mr. Major's work will afford
a substitute preferable in many respects."—Gentleman's
Magazine.
" The whole may safely be pronounced one of the most
splendid additions to the libraries of men of taste that has
for many years issued from the press."--Lo Studio.
" The high merit of the engravings, and the cheapness
of time price, make it a sort of wonder."--Sunday Herald.
"Every one who has seen Major's Crusoe and Pilgrim
will be aware how be can superintend works of art.".--.
Glasgow Free Press.
" He gives years, and a constant yet calm attention,
and spares not money, in order that the subject of his
daily thoughts may appear at last beautiful and accom-
plished at every point."—Atlas.
"Art is much indebted to Mr. Major for the manner
in which this work is got up; his artists seek rather to
give the spirit of the originals than display their own exe-
cution. It is this which makes Major's Edition of Ho-
garth so truly valuable; it is free from meretricious
prettiness and pettiness."—Liverpool Journal.
"Ha !—Hogarth !—in a cabinet size, for the library
and for the pocket—and by Major too?—Good. This is
a desideratum that has often been attempted, but never
before supplied. The engravings are excellent, and pos-
sess the rare but essential merit of faithfully representing
in miniature the spirit, expression, and meaning, as well
as the style of the originals, even to the manner in which
the engravings are executed."—Spectator.
" The Walton and the Bunyan ought to be upon every
table, and the present cheap and delightful edition of Ho-
garth as extensive in its sale as the Bunyan, we hope and
believe has been."—Athenaeum.

Booksellers.

TREMAINE, or the MAN of REFINE-
MENT ;

New Edition, in 3 vols., price I2s.

" No fastidious person can read ' Tremaine' witlout
being persuaded that it affords most useful and practical
lessons of conduct. Our youth look to the poetry, and
not to the reality of life; and it is the object of this book
to show that the individual who adopts such an idel,
mars his own happiness, as much as he fails in his duty
towards the community."—Quarterly Review.
DE VERE, or THE MAN OF INDEPENDENCE;
in 3 vols. Price 12s.

" De Vere will be regarded in the light of a precious
legacy from an Artist of the highest order.".—Monthly
Review.

" De Vere is one of the ablest productions of its kind
which has ever been published ; we have met no work
of such extraordinary merit."—Literary Gazette.
_ _ _ _ _ _

" The author of De Yore has shown his unquestionable
title to rank among the true historical painters of manners
and human nature."—New Alorithly Magazine.
