This Work serves to till up the chasm so long existing
in our Parliamentary History; the new facts and argu-
ments contained in it, clearly develope the project of Crom-
well for the assumption of the Royal dignity; the real ex-
tent of his power as Protedtor ; the manner of his Admi-
nistration, and the rapid decline and speedy extinction of
that power under the short Protectorate of his Son.

AGENERAL- CATALOGUE of his
extensive STOCK of SECOND-HAND BOOKS
for 1828 ; comprising one of the largest, best-selected, and
lowest-priced Collections extant, embracing Works of every
variety of class and subject, abounding chiefly with those
of the more useful and profitable description, and the best
calculated to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge in every
branch of study : with others of a picturesque and illus-
trated order, and many splendidly embellished ones in
Architecture, Antiquities, the Arts, Voyages, Travels,
History, &c. ; numerous General and County Histories,
and ancient Authors of considerable rarity and value ; with
an assemblage of real Oriental Drawings of great scarcity
and of very uncommon occurrence, &c.
J. D. having lately purchased the unsold Stock of sonic
of the best Works in Voyages and Travels of recent ap-
pearance, is enabled to offer them now, for the first time,
very considerably under their original publication price.
Among them the following are of peculiar interest in our
present political relations with Turkey, Greece, Russia,
Persia, the Brazils and Chili—of which countries they give
the fullest and best accredited accounts.
1. WALPOLE'S MEMOIRS on EUROPEAN and
ASIATIC TURKEY, from the Manuscript Journals of
Modern Travellers in those Countries. Also, Travels in
various Countries of the East, in continuation of the " Me-
moirs." Illustrated with many fine engravings. 2 vole.
Ito, boards, 305., published at 61. 6s.
Among the best critics of England, France, Germany,
and Italy, there has been but one opinion of the merits of
this Work, as throwing unusual light upon oriental and
ancient literature, and as forming a collection of rare intel-
ligence and extraordinary value relative to countries and
people with whom we arc at present but imperfectly ac-
quainted.
2. Sir R. K. PORTER'S TRAVELS in GEORGIA,
PERSIA, ARMENIA, ANCIENT BABYLONIA, and
other interesting Parts of the East. Illustrated with nearly
one hundred fine engravings, in maps, portraits, views,
antiquities, &c. 2 thick vols. Ito. of 1600 pages, V. 155.,
published at 9/. 9s.
The Author has treated with a just and impartial atten-
tion every thing in the history, manners, politics, laws, and
religion of the various countries he visited ; and being an
accomplished draftsman, has delineated with great taste
their costumes, antiquities, and persons, in a series of en-
gravings in great number and of unrivalled excellence.
3. BURCHELL'S TRAVELS in SOUTHERN
AFRICA, with an entirely new and very large map, and
ornamented with 61 large and small engravings, some of
which ai e finely coloured. A thick vol. of 580 pages. Ito.

These Travels extend, in the whole, over not less than
8,500 miles ofground, embracing a large portion of country
never before trodden by European foot, i❑ which nothing
has escaped his penetrating eye, or that he has failed to
describe with fidelity and truth ; his indefatigable industry
in the pursuit of Natural History alone has added 60,000
additional objects to the study of Botany and Zoology.
As the Ist volume relates to the Cape of Good Hope, it is
sold separate.

ZIL, and Residence there during the years 1821-2-3; in-

This Authoress possessed peculiar facilities for observing
and collecting the most correct information upon whatever
became the object of her inquiry, and her Works arc, from
the importance of the subjects they refer to, her faculties for
acquiring information, and her talents as a writer, at the
present moment calculated to excite great interest, and
claim particular notice.
7. DR. LEYDEN'S HISTORICAL ACCOUNT of
DISCOVERIES and TRAVELS in AFRICA, from the
earliest ages to the present time, with Geographical Illus-
trations, and views of the present state of the Continent.
By H. MURRAY, Esq. F.R.S.E. Map, 2 vols. Bvo.
boards, Ss. 6d., published at 275.
There is no work relating to the vast Continent of
Africa, besides this, that contains so much valuable infor-
mation, in so condensed a form, and in so small a com-
pass, or that can convey a greater share of information► and
interest in its pursuit, than this is calculated to afford to
every class of readers.

CHRONOLOGICAL, and GEOGRAPHICAL ATLAS,
translated from the last, and much improved French Edi-
tion. Edited by the celebrated Las Casas. Royal folio,
half-bound, neat, maps, plain 355., or coloured 405., pub-
liaised

Las Casas, Vin his Memoirs of Buonaparte, says, that
when he first presented this work to his notice, " the Em-
peror said that had it been known to him sooner, all the
Schools and Lveeurns in France should have been furnished
with it, and that he shimld have liked to see all historians
reprinted, with similae documents, to assist and explain
them."
A sheet list, containing, these, with many others, is to
he had gratii.

A WORK OF THE MOST SPLENDID AND COSTLY
DESCRIPTION,
CONSIDERABLY REDUCED IN PRICE.

ACRITICAL INQUIRY into ANCIENT
ARMOUR,' as it existed in Europe, but particularly
in England, from the Norman Conquest to the Reign of
King Charles IL, with a Glossary of Military Terms of
the Middle Ages.
By SAMUEL RUSH MEYRICK, LL.D. and F.S.A,
Advocate in. the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts.
3 vols., folio, 121., (published at 211.,) neatly half-bound
in calf, lettered, and uncut.

J. DOWDING, Bookseller, 82, Newgate-street, having
become the sole Proprietor of this magnificent and popular
Work, most respectfully informs the Public that, in conse-
quence of the heavy outlay in the purchase of a Property so
valuable, and to insure as speedy a return as possible, he
has determined to offer a limited number of copies, at little
more than half the publication price ; a most important
opportunity for the tasteful collector of rare and beautiful
hooks, as the immense expense of a publication of this pe-
culiar nature must render a re-print impossible. This
superb Work will, doubtless, shortly resume its original
standard price, from which it can never again be reduced ;
and, as it is perfectly unique, it may reasonably be expected
that its value will rapidly rise in proportion to its scarcity.
J. D., therefore, submits to his friends the advantage of au
early purchase.
This work is the produce of the most extensive research
in the field of antiquity. Every statement contained
within its pages is founded upon original documents and
authentic records, and thus it is admirably adapted to ex-
plain the origin, progress, and decline, of the various sys-
tems of warfare " inby-gone days." Its invariable adhe-
rence to historical tlizts is the basis of its intrinsic value;
and the correctness of its delineations renders it highly inte-
resting, not only to the learned and the curious, but to every
one desirous of becoming advantageously acquainted with the
history of nations and of men. History, both ancient and
modern, abounds with descriptions of renowned martial
heroes and their deeds, and with allusions to the prominent
local customs of every age. The beautiful work of Dr.
Meyriek is, therefore, expressly calculated to throw a neiv
and a brilliant light upon the attractive pages of Hume,
Robertson, Gibbon, Mitford, Roscoe, and Hallam, and even
of Shakspeare himself. After a brief account of the rise and
progress of warfare, and the use of arms among the ancient
nations, the armour and the weapons, not only of
the warrior, but of the plumed Knight engaged in the
courtly tournament, are minutely described as they existed
in England from the Norman Conquest to the reign of
Charles the Second ; and the Descriptions are accompanied
by a numerous sad splendid assemblage -of exquisite En-
gravings, inlaid with gold and silver, and coloured in a
style of great delicacy and beauty. The Initial Letters of
the chapters arc richly illuminated, in the manner of the
ancient missals, and embellished with curious antique
Representations of the Customs and Characters of the
Times. The Edinburgh Review justly observes, that " the
ground of dead silver upon which the Initial Letters arc
raised, has an effect that is extremely beautiful." Many of
the illustrations display the figures of celebrated Heroes on
horseback in full armour, with the weapons they used, and
with the horses superbly caparisoned, as they appeared in
the field of battle. What can be more appropriate for the
elucidation of the History describing the glorious scenes in
which they were engaged ? Such an Illustration of the
most interesting branch of general knowledge has long been
a desideratum in British Literature, and it has been ably
supplied by the talents and the labours of Dr. Meyrick,
who has thus become entitled to the thanks of his country
for an important National Work, in which accuracy, mag-
nificence, and utility, are equally combined.
,s J. DOWDING'S • GENERAL CATALOGUE
of Second-hand Books is just published, and contains an
extensive collection of superior standard works, in every
class of literature, at extremely moderate prices. Also, a
" Cheap List," on a large sheet adapted for. sending gratis,
by post, containing many valuable modern works, of which
all the copies remaining unsold have been purchased by
him, on the failure of an eminent house, upon terms which
enable him to offer them at from oneL.third to half the ori-
ginal publication prices.

Aserved with regret, that the petition contained nothing. in
favour of the Catholics, hut confined itself to the repeal of
the Corporation and Test Acts. lle believed• the great
body of the Dissenters were favourable to the Catholics,
and surely, although they might not feel disposed to make
common cause with them, there were other ways of show-
ing that they' were friendly to their claims,
instead of leaving it, even up to this hour a mooted
point, as to whether they were favourable or otherwise to
~heir Roman Catholic coumtrymen.
