On the Ist of June, Part I. of the
—ENOOK' OF 13RITISII BALLADS.
Edited by S. C. HALL, Esq., F.S. A.
The work will consist of British Ballads taken from the col-
lections of Percy, Evans, Kitson, Pinkerton, Scott, Mother-
well, Jamieson, Buchan, Herd, and others, by whom they have
been gathered with so much industry and care ; and, also, from
sources comparatively unexplored by the general reader.
It will be issued in Monthly Parts, small Quarto ; each Part
will consist of five sheets (forty pages), and every page will
contain an illustration engraved on wood, in the finest style of
which the art is capable. The present intention of the Editor,
is to complete the Work in Twelve Parts, at ss. each.
Part I. will contain the Ballads of—

Chevy Chase ; illustrated by J. Franklin ; the engravings
by Linton, Smith, Landells, Armstrong, Bastin, &e.l
The Children in the Wood ; illustrated by J. IL Herbert,
A.R. A. ; engraved by Green.
Fair Rosamond ; illustrated by J. Franklin ; engraved by
T. Williams, Miss Williams, Walm.ley, Evans, &e.
The bemon Lover; illustrated by J. Gilbert; engraved by
Folkard.

The Nut-Browne Mayd; illustrated by T. Creswick ; en-
graved by J. William?.

Each Ballad will be preceded by two pages, giving its his-
tory, and supplying such information concerning it as the Editor
may be enabled to obtain ; and in every Ballai the designs will
be drawn by one artist on the wood, so as to secure uniformity
of character : and such arrangements have been made, that as
the work progresses, it, will exhibit examples of the genius of
a large proportion of the most accomplished artists of Great
Britain.

The supremacy of our English Engravers on wood is univer-
sally admitted. This important department of the work will be
entrusted only to artists of acknowledged skill and eminence.
Th.e printing is confided to the establishment of Messrs.
Vizetelly and Co.
The aim of all parties engaged in the production of the work
will be to render it worthy of the Country and the Arts.
cr Specimens of the work may be seen at all Booksellers.

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
On SATURDAY, the 14th of May, was 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, being
pictorial representations f the most interesting events of the
day, in addition to 48 columns of mews. The object of this
publication is not merely to register the current events of in-
terest at home, to give lengthened details of occurrences abroad,
but to heighten the one and make clear the other by the in-
troduction of pictorial 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 learned 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 written description could
ever achieve, but which the pencil must at all times materially
enhance." The war in Affghanistan, 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 will not fail in their task. Foreign circumstances,
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. Cilltiespondences have been opened in each of
our provincial towns to insure a quick transit of illustrations
of all matters of interest. Racing and sporting scenes, rowing
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 countrywomen, engravings of the
fashions, gardening, fancy needlework, sketches of public balls
and concerts, will be from time to time provided. A vigorous
tone will be adopted in politics, freed at the same time from all
party views. Arrangements are made fur giving with more
than usual effect the fullest aid 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. Tile 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.

out the kingdom. Office,
