THE HISTORY OF THE CONSULATE AND EMPIRE OP
FRANCE UNDER NAPOLEON.—We understand that the
publication (so long expected) of this important historical
wo:k, written by M. A. Thiers, the late Prime Minister
of France, and which forms a Sequel to his celebrated
History of the French Revolution, is announced to take
place during the present month. Mr. Colburn, of Great
Marlborough- street, has become the purchaser of the sole
and exclusive right of prior publication of the work in
Great Britain, and his translation has been made under
the express suction and appio,..al of the author, by-1).
Forben Campbell, Esq. The first and second volumes,
price ss. each with illustrations, may be received in the
country on the 20th of March, by being previously or-
dered ; aad an edition is also to be issued at the same
time in weekly shilling parts. The period embraced by
this work forms decidedly the most important era in the
History of Modern Times. On the qualifications of the
author it would le superfluous to descant. If the cha-
racter of M. niers, as a statesman,weie not well-known
to the wholo world, the merits of his preliminary " His-
tory of the French Revolution" would irresistibly claim
the pablie favour in behalf of this now production, which
becomes inNeited with a deeper importance to us the
nearer the history approaches to our own times, and the
more British interests are involved in the events which it
records.

ARE LATE LAMAN BLANCHAILD'S FAMILY..—The
Committee of the •Itoval- Corporation of the Literary Fund,
at its meetin; on-Weancsday-, unanimously voted 1001. to-
wards the fund now raisin.. for the benefit of the family of
this talented and laraenteil gentleman. The committee of
distribution thus testified theit're.,,pect for Mr. Illancli,ard's
memory and their commiseration P.m- the circeniatances in
which the'ae tlependent on his literary exertions wete left by
his premature death. We believe this is bat the second in-
stance in th4tidtory of this truly munificent society in Which
so large a sum has been voted to au individual case. Never
can the exception to the general rule be mon fully justified
by -the committee, nor more warmly commended by the sub-
scribers, than by the affecting circumstances which combine
to take this case out of the rule which applies to ordinary
elaimi upon the Literary Fund.
