under the headings of the more important subjects of HUMAN
ANATOMY, GENERAL, SURGICAL, and MORBID ; of
PHYSIOLOGY, of COMPARATIVE ANATOMY, and of
ANIMAL CHEMISTRY ; and in order to unite the advantage of
a Dictionary with the proposed form of the Work, a very copious
Index will be added, containing all the terms employed in the
sciences, with appropriate references.
The Publishers have mach pleasure in stating that upwards of
Forty distinguished Writers, eminent in Science, in Great Britain,
Ireland, and France, have kindly engaged to contribute to this
Work, which they trust will be no inconsiderable security for the
manner in which the great object of it will be accomplished.
ILLUSTRATIONS, by wood-cut and other engravings, to a
much greater extent than can be found in any publication profess-
ing to treat of the same subjects, will be introduced in the articles
on the ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY of the various classes
of the ANIMAL KINGDOM, and also wherever they may seem
requisite to elucidate descriptions which would otherwise be obscure.
The Work will be elegantly printed on superfine paper, double
columns, with a small and clear type, so as to compress as much
information into an octavo page as is usually found in a large quarto,
and will be completed in about Twenty Parts, price ss. each.

WALKER'S CRITICAL PRONOUNCING -DICTIONARY
ENTIRELY REMODELLED.
June Ist, 1835.—This day was published, in Bvo., price Is. 6d.
Part
ANEW ENGLISH DICTIONARY, adapted
to the present state of Literature and Science, and fitbed,
by its compact size, for general use.
By B. H. SMART,
Author of an Outline of Sematology ; a Practical Grammar of
English Pronunciation; Theory and Practice of Elocution, &c.
The undertaking for the Original Proprietors of Walker's Dic-
tionary was simply to improve the last Edition of their Work; but,
in fulfilling this task, Mr. Smart has really produced a new Work,
of which the chief features are :
1. A more accurate analysis of the sounds of the language, with
correspondent Schemes and Principles of Pronunciation.
2. A method of indicating the pronunciation of words, which,
by renouncing altogether the pretence of exhibiting no more
letters than sounds, is less barbarous to the eye, and at once intel-
ligible.
These are the altered features of the work as a " Critical Pro-
nouncing Dictionary ;" other improvements of a higher kind are
attempted, viz.-
1. To exhibit words in such a manner as to make those of the
same family throw a light on each other's meaning and application.
2. To furnish as much insight into the etymology and composi-
tion of words as can be given to a mere English inspector.
3. To mark, in instances that require it, the change from ancient
to modern usage, and to distinguish words that are obsolete or ob-
solescent, technical, unusual, partially authorised, or vulgar.
4. To restore from Johnson's Dictionary the obsolete words
which Walker omits, because they are necessary to the reading of
authors of the Elizabethan age; and to insert, from Todd, Webster,
and other sources, all the important words which the progress of
literature and science has accumulated since the days of Johnson.
5. To define, with cautious exactitude, words applied to the as-
sumed data in all general or abstract reasoning, and which refer,
in any way, to the process itself ; because, in a Dictionary meant
for general use, it is deemed highly important to indicate the fact,
that words are not merely the expositors, but are also the instru-
ments of thinking.
In addition to the necessary Schemes and Principles, the Work
will be accompanied by— .
1. Hints for surmounting Defects of Speech, Provincial, Vulgar,
and Impedimental.
2. An Etymological Index of Common Terminations.
3. Walker's Key to the Classical Pronunciation of Greek, Latin,
and Scripture Proper Names.
The Volume, including a great many thousand words which are
not to be found in the present edition of Walker's Dictionary—all,
in short, of any claim to notice which subsequent Dictionaries ex-
hibit--will comprise about fifty sheets, or, eight hundred pages
octavo ; it will be published in ten Monthly Parts of five sheets
eaah, price One Shilling and Siipence. .

A NEW EDITION, WITH IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL

REMARKS AND CASES.
Just published, the 19th Edition, price 4s.
AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency.,
these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption,
Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the
Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

" Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we eonsider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
1
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
Couch delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review.
