SEARLE'S TREATISE on-AFFECTIONS of
the STOMACH and BRAIN ; showing that Indiges-
gestion, and Impairment of the Con titution, arise from
improper regimen ; and that nervousness, morbid excitation of
the brain, epilepsy, paralysis, apoplexy, and insanity, originate
in an impaired state of the brain, and not in determination of
blood to the head.

The Supplement will present an elegant novelty, copiously

In the Number which opens the new Volume, a correct
View of the Royal Exchange will be given, with a great variety
of entertaining, valuable, and curious matter. A Lord Mayor's
Stories, as told two hundred and forty-three years ago, will

The Proprietors have the satisfaction to find, as is very
generally acknowledged, that during the past year no efforts
have been spared to give additional interest and importance
to a publication which has ranked as a favourite with
the higher as well as the middle classes for more than
twenty years. The promises made by Popular Writers and
eminent Professors who had engaged to enrich its pages with
their communications have been made good, and no Ma-
gaz;ne'of the day has been able to lay before its readers
more varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely-
extending connexions enable the. Proprietors to furnish the,
earliest and most correct announcements of all discoveries in
Art, Science, and Nature, that arc interesting to the friends of
Literature.

Some of the most striking historical tales which the season
has prdsluced, tales not composed of maudlin sensibilities, but
valuablAillustrations of the annals and mariners of former days;
translations of standard works of French and German authors
by the ablest hands, for " The Mirror" exclusively, have also
within the same period diversified its columns.
The Reviews which have appeared have been free and im-
partial, not merely authors' prefaces and booksellers' puffs,
which indolence and meanness have often been content to
adopt as such.
Engravings of the Heraldic honours of Noble Houses have
been introduced one in each week. In the accompanying
notices no party spirit has been allowed to enter, and some
memorable scenes have been recalled, which in ordinary Peer-
ages would be sought for in vain. The valuable assistance of
a Gentleman most intimately acquainted with everything that
relates to Heraldry, and with the history of all the moat illus-
trious names of England, will in future enable the Conductors
of " Tne Mirror," as it proceeds, to correct errors which may
have unavoidably occurred in their own case, as well as in
'other publicitions. Additional care will be bestowed, so that
the series, when complete, may 'form a most valuable and
original work for reference. It will comprise interesting facts
drawn from the most authentic sources (in many cases exclu-
sive), relative to the origin of all the'great families of the nat ion.
The general varieties which, for more than twenty years,
have received the stamp'. of public approbation—historical
facts, amusing anecdotes, graphic descriptions of remarkable
localities and celebrated edifices, ancient and modern, will suc-
cessively appear, with embellishments of a superior order.
