" The plan of the publication appears to he a very judicious
one. The book is suitable both fur an antiquary and general
reader, and will convey much intelligence in au agreeable
manner. The illustrations and views of houses, churches,
tombs, monuments, &c., are very goad ; they possess the merit
of being representation: of the places and things they are in-
tended to convey a notion of, and are not mere compositions
ith the names of objects written under tl em at random.
The work is beautifully got np, and printed in a good type.
APogether, this Is a publcation tiori which ever) body will
derive some new knowledge ; it i, full of anecdote, and is
written with taste and accuracy."—Times, May 9, 1542.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
On SAT II RDA V, the 14th of May, will be published,
No. 1, of a New Weekly Newspaper, entitled the ILLUSTRA-
TED LONDON NEWS, price 6d. stamped, containing 30
engravings every week, from designs by eminent Artists, beingb
pictorial representations f the most interesting events of the
day, in addition to 43 columns of news. The object of this.
publication is not merely to register the current events of in-
terest at home, to give lengthened details of occurrences ahr,ad,
but to heighten the one and make char the other by the in-
troduction of 1 ictorial representations of the scenes described.
Calling in the aid of pencil to depict that which can only be
but partially accomplished by the pen, we are but following the
text of a le coed writer, who has said that " we can convey to
the mind by means of a picture those circumstances of relative
situation, and peculiar interest, that no wriven description could
ever achieve, but which the pencil must at all times materially
enhance." The war in Afrghinistan, the sad defeats and suf-
ferings of the British Army, and we hope its also glorious tri-
umphs, will open a wide field for pictorial representation, and
our artists sill not fait in their task. Foreign circamstances,
however, are but a slight feature in our gallery—the realities of
London life, the physiognomy of its police courts, its theatres.
exhibitions, public amusements, its out-door society, its daily in-
creasing public buildings, its works of art—all that has the charm
of novelty will be brought before the reader in a pictured form,
and will give to the country resident that exact impression of
London progress which no other Journal, by description alone
can convey. Correspondences hava•eabesepnortoipnegnseedetiens,ear:\hyinogf
our provincial towns to insure a quick trzinqt of illustrations
of all matters of interest. Racing n
and sailing matches, military reviews, public festivals, cattle
shows, and other Agricultural assemblies, will be reported with
the pencil as well as by the pen ; while, for the particular en-
tertainment of our fair couritr3 women, engravings of the
fashions, gal-der:hie., fancy needlework, sketches of public balls
arid concerts, will be from time to time provided. A vigorous
tone will be adopte.i in politics, freed at the same time from all
party views. Arrangements are made for giving with more
than usudl effect the fullest and latest reports of the Parlia-
mentary debates, public meetings, police intelligence, theatrical
information, &c. Critical reviews will be given of all British
and Foreign literary publications of sterling interest. The
latest accounts of markets, &c., with the fullest commercial
information, and all the usual contents. The illustrations are
entirely confided to Messrs. Vizetelly and Co., and will be en-
graved under their superintendence, to insure the public against
anything of an inferior character being introduced into the
columns of this Newspaper.
