MODELS OF MERCANTILE CORRESPONDENCE, BY
WILLIAM ANDERSON.—" This work consists of a series
of three hundred letters, on every subject that can come
before a mercantile man. The style of them is simple,
clear, concise, and c3rrect; it is accompanied with an
analytical index, an explanation of mercantile technicali-
ties, with forms of all commercial documents and ac-
counts, evidently the result of practical experience. It
will form a most useful intermediate step between the
school and the counting-house; and for all young men
intended for mercantile life it will be indispensable. In
fact, we have rarely seen so much useful commercial
matter in so small a compass; we cordially recommend
it, not only to merchants, but also as an appropriate
exercise book for the use of schools, and we venture to
suggest that every pupil destined for mercantile life
should be required to copy the book from beginning
to end."
Miss STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF
ENGLAND."—We are requested to state that a new and
revised edition of the first six volumes of this work is
published this day, by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marl-
borough-street, and may be had of all booksellers
throughout the kingdom. Mr. Colburn has also just
published a new and cheaper edition, with additions, in
2 vols., uniform with ," The Lives of the Queens of
England," of" Letters of Mary, Queen of Scots," edited,
ith an historical introduction and notes, by Miss
Strickland. " Undoubtedly the most valuable, and by
far the most interesting, work illustrative of the life and
character of Mary Stuart ever given to the world."—
