THE LITERARY GAZETTE, ESTABLISHED
IN 1817.

THIS Weekly Journal of Literature, the.
Arts, and Sciences, having for twelve years eonel
on progressively and largely increasing in numbers and
in influence, till it now possesses not only ut home but
on the whole continent and the most remote parts of
America and India a circulation far exceeding that of any
literary periodical
ever published in England, the Pro-
prietors are dasirous of announcing la the public at- this
season that still greater and more extended exertions have
been made to improve its columns, so that the ample re-
want they have received- for their past endeavours may be *
gratefully employed in obtaining the best intelligence from'
every quarter, securing the co-operation of the highest
talents, aid, in short, rendering the LITERARY GA...
ZETTE yet more deserving of universal favour. With
the first number for 1829 the introduction of new and im-
portant resoutces will commence; and preparations will
be made for more than the usual annual addition of
Subscribers, whose early orders are respectfully requested.
Published every Saturday, by W. A. Scripps, No. 7,

ADCOCK'S ENGINEER'S POCKET-
BOOK, for Engineers, Manufacturers, Millwrights,
and others, for the year 4329. .By HENRY ADCOCK,
Civil Engineer. Dedicated by permission, to Henry
Mantislay, Esq.
This Improved Pocket-BoOk is far superior to the En-
gineer's Pocket-Book, published last year; the treatises on
geometry, and fractional and decimal numbers, have been
left out entirely; and the treatise on the mensuration of
surfaces and solids has been much simplified and condensed,
to ►make room for more valuable information. It contains,
by tables and short rules, and by the application of a pe-
culiar property of numbers, British weights and measures ;
miscellane.ous information on digging, well-sinking, brick-
laying, carpentry, &e. ; tables of the quantity of bricks
necessary to construct any piece of brick-Work, and of the
number of rods of brick-work contained in any quantity
of suPerficiar feet ; tables of the relative value of British
and Foreign, old and imperial, and English and Scottish,
weights and measures; multiplication and division, squares
and cubes, and square and cube roots, obtained by inspec-
tion; the mensuration of Surfaces and solids; tables of the
areas and circumferences of circles, the areas of. circular
segments avid zones, and of the lengths of circular and
semi-elliptic arcs ; rules to calculate the mechanical powers,
the gravitating property of bodies, -tlm centres of gravity,
gyration, and percussion, the vibration of the pendulum,
and the central forces.
Next to these follow a tabular comparative view orani-
mal exertion, rules for the construction of water and wind
mills, tables of the elastic force of steam, and rules and ap-
proximating rules to compute the powers of steam•engines ;
rules:to find the quantity of water discharged by simple
apertures, by:cylindrical, conical, compound, and bent tubes,
by horizontal, vertical, inclined, and bent conduit pipes,
and by weirs and rectangular notches ; tables exhibiting the
ratios between the theoretic and the real discharges, the
comparative discharge by pipes and tubes, and the ratios
between time initial and final velocities.

A section of pneumatics, showing the weight of air• at
different altitudes, the velocity of the wind, the expansion
of air by heat, and the method of computing distances:by-
sound ; a section on heat, exhibiting the quantity of heat,
produced by the combustion of different substances ;_a ta-
bular view of the freezing points of liquids, the melting
points of solids, the points at which liquids and' solids are
volatilized, or converted into gasses, and the eipansion and
contraction of substances by heat; a section en artificial
light, another on the teeth • of wheels, another on mecha-
nism, and another on friction.

To these are added, a section on the strength of mate-
rials ; exhibiting, in a tabular form, the adhesive force of
nails, iron pins, screws, and glue ; the cohesive farce of
metals, metallic alloys, wood, leather, chain cables, ropes,
and miscellaneous substances; with observations on the
strength of materials, when pulled or compressed in the di.
rection of their length, when exposed to a lateral strain,
and when twisted. .

And, finally, a section on the weight of materials ; being
a tabular view of the weight of bar, square, and bolt iron,
wrought and cast iron plate, iron pipes, lead pipes, sheet lead,
bricks, tiles, and miscellaneous substances, with the weight
and dimensions of coppers and boilers, the weight and bore
of cocks, and tables of specific gravities. - -
N.B.—This improved Pocket-book is embellished with
wood engravings; has every rule given fully, clearly, and
distinctly, and free from algebraic formulae, and is no larger •
than the pocket-books annually sold.
ADCOCK'S COMMERCIAL POCKET-BOOK, for
Merchants, Brokers,. Wharfingers; and others, Dedicated,
by permission, to Alexander Baring, Esq., M.P. Price 10s.
This improved Pocket-book contains an analyiis of coin-
mercial science, and, owing to the application of a peculiar
'property of numbers, as much matter as is usually com-
prised in from five to six thousand octavo pages, or ten
thick octavo volumes.

Besides the usual quantity of ruled paper for cash ac-
counts and memoranda, and the mast important of the in.
formation comprised in the former annuals, it will contain
the weights and measures of every commercial province, city,
sea-port, town, and country, their value relative to each

obtainedttis
at 4,4 i. and 5 per cent., from one to 366 days; tables of
the cable of annuities and leases, and of the calculations of
Eurapean Exchanges.

To show the value ni this extraordinary property of
numbers, it may be necessary to state, that most of the
articles, enumerated above, are in a tabular form ; that this
Pocket Book will he no larger than the former annuals;
and that the interest of auy sumot.a...7-at 4, 43-, and
5 per cent., although occupying but ten pages each in this
improved Pocket-book, can be obtained with the sante fa-
cility as that of 4 and 5 per cent. from the more expensive
winks, which are charged U. lls. 6d.
