WORLD.
Editesl by CHARLES ED WARDS, Es,q.
Being a collection of Engravings of Views in all countries,
Portraits of Great Men, and specimens of Works of Art of all
ages, and of every character, will be published in monthly parts,
each containing Four highly-finished Steel Engravings, from
New Plates, engraved ex; ressly for this work, printed on demy
quarto paper, and will he accompanied with e:ght to twelve
pages of letter-press, uniform with " China," " America," &c.
Three Premiums will be given with the 4th, Bth, and 12th
Parts. (See Pro•pectus.)
"This is the first Number of a very superior work, both with
regard to engraving and printing; and the letter-press matter
is exceedingly good. The present mania for illustrations must
necessarily bring into the market much that borders on the
ridiculous, in the attempt at pictorial embellishment; and,
therefore, we are the better pleased when plates of such supe-
rior kind are brought before us. And the four in this Number
may fairly challenge comparison with their numerous brethren
that have preceded them. Whalers attacked by Bears,' is
a gem of art; and Ave- Marie,' is as characteristic as it is
wollex,evciuthtetdhe executed. We

Surgeon Acconcheur.

" As more than one clergyman whom we know have received
benefit from the treatment of Mr. Van Butchell, we gladly
call attention to this work, containing, as it does, accounts of
numerous cases which have fallen within his practice, and the
perusal of which may be of advantage to others similarly af-
flicted. The work is very clearly an 'd
well written,
and to be
understood without any labour."—The Church Intelligencer.
" This is a useful work—the complaint being the too fre-
quent attendant upon sedentary pursuits and habits. The
public reception of the work, which has reached seven editions,
is a sufficient stamp of its worth and ability. We can recom.
mend it to that largo class who are unfortunately suffering
under the complaint of which it practically treats. Its state.
ments are confirmed by a collection of letters and cases."—Bell's
