A Biographical and Historical Library, in the form of a Dic-
tionary, and in the compass of an octavo volume, answering the
purpose of reference on all points of Biography, Chronology, and
Historyt challenges the respect of every Student, and every Lover
of Literature.
This Dictionary consists of ono closely printed pages, each
containing 600 words, and consequently includes as much mat-
ter as any large and expeenive quarto. After the sale of three
editions of this Dictionary, each 6000 in number, and the credit and
authority which it had acquired in the literary world, it Gar
conies matter of surprise that another Author, parodying its con-
tents, should have had the temerity to bring out a sitntlyr work
haying the same object, and not coatainiscg one-twelfth more
matter, at the enorttious price of three guineas ! The public are
invited to make the comparison, both as to matter and quantity,
between Dr. Watkina's work and this other, four times tbe price.
Let it be added, that Dr. Watkins's Dictionary contains the au-
thorities of each article, an essential requisite In every work of
reference, wbich, however, is omitted in this new and unneces-
sary quarto.
