ENCYCLOPiEDIA EDINENSIS.
This Day was published,
PART 11. of VOLUME 111. of

/TINE. ENCYCLOP.EDIA EDINENSTS; or,
it DICTIONARY of ARTS, SCIENCES, and MISCEL-
LANEOUS LITERATURE. To be completed in Six Volumes
Quarto, and illustrated by ISO Plates.
By JAMES MILLAR, M. D.
Editor of the Fourth Edition and last Fifteen Volumes of the
Fifth Edition of the Encyclopmdia Britannica, with the

assistance of the principal. Contributors to that. Work.
From the portion of this Work now before the Public, a
just estimate of its plan, execution, and style of embellish-
ment may be formed; from the labour and attention of the
Editor and his Associates, in the methodical arrangement
and condensation of the different Branches of Literature,
Science, and Art, the Volumes now completed will be found
to contain as much information, that is useful or interesting
to the general reader, as nearly Seven Volumes of its con-
temporaries; and, in all these points, the Proprietors, con-
fident of the re,tilt, earnestly invite a comparison with other
Works of a similar nature.

" This is a very well executed Work, and may, perhaps, in
the end, prove a very formidable rival to most of its more
bulky predecessors and contemporaries. We approve eery
much of the Editor, who is.a man of sound ssitse, and sound
information, and no pretensiou."—Blackwood's Magazine

THE DIRECTORS of This Office, witl► confi-
dence, derived from the many yea's experience which
they have had of its success, invite the Piddle to a considera-
tion of its printiples and conduct. They have no motive to
tempt persons to join their extensive Association by the dan-
gerous lure of a further reduction of the deposits: they re-
quire such deposits as are proved to be safe and under favour-
able circumstances profitable, and such profits the depositors
share in proportion to their respective contributions.
Thus, by the specific sums insured, and contingent profits,
they have the fullest value for their payments, in a manner
nearly similar to that until lately adopted in the Equitable
Office, hut with this prestimed improvement, viz. that as the
original Members have raised a permanent fund, deemed
amply sufficient for the purpose of indemnity, it is provided
that list personal responsibility shall attach to the Policy
Holders. Hence those who seek protection are secured from
uncertainty and risk of loss as in a Propriety Ofike, baying
a large inheritable capital, and are entitled to a participation
in the profits, sta in a Contributionship Society.

TO THE Er roll 01~ GALIONANI'S MESSENGER.
varion4 Nullifiers of your Jotirnal; I have seen men-
tinned a work entitled "The Vampire," with the addition of
my name as that of the author. lam not the author, and never
heard of the work in 4uestiiin until now. In a more recent
paper, I perceive a formal annunciation of " The Vampire,"
with the addition of an account of Ley ".Residence in the
Island of Mitylene," an Island which I hare occasionally
sailed by in the course of ravelling, some years ago, through
the Levant, and where I should have no objection to resid!,
but where I have never yetresided. Neither of these per-
foramoces are mine, and I preemie that it is neither unjust
nor utwacious to request that you will favour me by contra-
dictirg the advertisement to which I allude. If the book is
clever, it would be base to deprive the reed writer, whoever
he may be, of his honours; and if stupid, I desire the re-
sponsibility of nobody's dullness but my own.
You will excuse the trouble I give you ; the imputation is
of no great importance, mid as long as it was confined to stn-
miles and reports, I should have received it as I have ri -
caved Manly others—iirsilenee. But the formality of•a pub-
lic advertisement of a hook I never wrote, and a residence
where I eever resided, is a little too much, particularly as I
have no notion of the contents of the one, nor the incidents
of the other. I base, besides, a peronal dislike to " Vam-
pires," and the little acquaintance I have with them would
by no means induce me to divulge their secrets.
You did me a much less injury by your paragraphs about
44 my devotion" and " abandonment of society for the sake
of religion," which appeared in your Messenger during last
Lent; all of which ate not founded on fact, but you see I do
not contradict them, because they are merely personal,.
whereas the others, in sonic degree, concern the reader.
You will oblie,e the by complying with my request of con-
tradiction; I assure you, that I know nothing of the work or
or works in question, and have the honour to be (as the E;or-
respondents to Magazines say) " yOUr zonstant reader," and
very obedient bumble servant,
Venice. BYRON.
