THE FLOWERS of MODERN VOYAGES
and TRAVELS; comprising those ui*st worthy of Re-
cord, between the years 1806 and 1820.
By W. ADAMS, A.M..
These " Flowers,;' embracing Europe, Asia, Africa, and
America, have been selected from the most valuable and au-
thentic Sources ; and are particularly adapted for such Per-
sons as do not possess the means, or the opportunity, of per-
using expensive or volumiqous Statements.—Each of the
Four Volumes is complete of itself, and may be had se-
parately,
The Purchasers of " Dr. Mayor's Collection of -Voy-
ages and Travels" are respectfully informed, these Volumes
were undertaken, principally with the view of perfecting his
valuable Work ; for, since its publication, large Accessions
have been made to our general Stock of Voyages and Travels'.
With this Addition, however, it is hoped, '' Dr. Mayor's
Collection" will continue to rank, as the most comprehen-
sive and perfect of its kind.

" Of the utility of such a Work there can be no doubt,
while LONDON abontols as it does with imposture and tertip.
cation. As far as it has proceeded; it is executed with Consid-
erable taste and truth, and deseit'es.to till a respectable rank
among works of practical philosophy. It is one of the most
amusing books lately published; for our own pat t, (but, per-
haps, we are partial), we prefer it* to many of the sketches
of mankind which have appeared since the days of the
Spectator.' Le Franc Parleur,' does not speak half so
plainly as our hero. • L'Hermite de la Chaussee d'Ani in,'
leads Lou retired a life,—and the ' I%ertnit in London,' is too
dandyish and rapid,—to compare with him. Geoffrey
Crayon' presents mere sketches, while CORINTHIAN TOM
gives
.finished portraits;—with all the delicacy and precision
of GERARD DOLTW, he unites the boldness of ItUBENS,
and the intimate knowledge of TENIEECS."—European Ma-

ANEW and COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM
of MODERN GEOGRAPHY, MATHEMATICAL,
PHYSICAL, POLITICAL, and ,COMMERCIAL; being a
perspicuous Delineation of the present state of the Globe,
with its Inhabitants and Productions; preceded by the His--
tory of the Science,—interspersed with Statistical and Sy-
noptical Tables,—and accompanied with a Series of correct
Coloured Maps, a great Variety of appropriate Views, and nu-
merous other Engravings, illustrating the Manners, Customs,
and Costnmes of Nations.
BY THOMAS MYERS, A. M.

Of the'Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.
There has never, perhaps, been a period in Modern His-
tory, when it could be less necessary than at the present mo-
ment, to enforce reasons for publishing a new system of Geo-
graphy. The political Eventsr of the last few years, have
eo entirely changed the territorial relations of datrent
States, that all existing Geographical Works have been ren-
dered, in a mtnsure, obsolete. In this Work, the mutations
which hate taken place will he fOund minutely explained, by
an accurate development of facts, foundtA on official and
authentic Documents.

During the -last four or fire years also, large Accessions
have been made to our general stock of Grog aphical Know-
ledge; and the energies of unimpeded intellect have been ap-
plied to the survey of the World in such a manner, as spreads
an ample share of Novelty bef.re- the induttrions Compiler at
a Geographical System. While, therefore, the reader will
find in this all that is unquestionable in preceding Works, he
may expect to receive, in addition,. the concentrated Informa-
tion which subsequent resOarches:bave supplied.
'.' This Wuxi' will be completed in 24 parts,'forming.two
very large and splendid Volumes.

LETTER from.GEO. WEBB:HALL, Ese.
CHAIRMAN to the GEI.ERAL COMMITTE.E of MANAGEMENT for
the AGRICULTURAL ASSoCIATI9NE in GREAT BRITAIN,

TO THE RIGHT HON.FREDERICK JOHN ROBINSON,
President of the Board of Trade, zi.e. 4c.
On the INIPOLICY of the PRESENT CORN LAWS,
AS AFFECTING THE GENERAL INDUSTRY OF

THE UNITED KINGDOM.

(Concluded from our Paper of Yesterday.)

Having thus, Sir, endeavoured to exhibit to you, in the
clearest light which I am able, the operation, and pernicious
tendency, to the whole industry of this country, of import-
ing" foreign proildetions similar to those of our own soil
duty free or at inadequate duties, for the purpose of lower-
ing the wages of the labouring classes, and thereby enab--
ling our manufacturers to compete with foreigners in foreign
markets, and also-the insufficient and futile protection whiei
the 55th George 111. c.,26) professes to interpOse, if that
can be called protection at all which admits- foreign grails
without ditty the moment the average price, must imper-
fectly ascertained, shall exCeed;hy one farthing per quarter,
the lowest price at which grain can be grown in this country
on an average of years; I come now ro the most-painful part
of my duty in this letter; and that is, to call your attention
to the view which you have taken of this Subject) ip which,
upon more mature reflection and consideration, I am con-
vinced you will be the first to admit, you have been most
comp! tely and thoroughly mistaken. I allude to what fell
from you on' this questiou, in the debate in the Haase of Com-
mons in the month of May last, upon the agricultural
In-that debate yon es pressed yourself in these words:
" The Home had beets told of the existing distress of the
agiiCl:ltmist: but how was it posstble to charge that distress
on the existing Corn Laws, and to maintains that the low price
of corn was attributable to them, when the fact was, that no
foreign corn had-been imported since Feb. 18 19 , before which
period, you believed, there wat not a single quarter of foreign
corn in the (bonded) warehouses ? How low, therefore, the
present price of,corn, it could not, with any justice and rea-
son, be attributed *.o any inefficiency in the present law."
To convince you, therefore, tio,.v completely you have over-
looked the operation aild effects of this law, I need only refer
you to the returns of imports laid before Parliansent, and you
will there find, that in the dear ended the sth January, t g to,
there wereimprtedluto thlibingdorn, duty fru., the enormous
