THE ELEMENTS OF 'USEFUL LITERATURE.

pINNOCK'S CATECHISNIS of the ARTS and
SCIENCES, price Nine-pence each, are intended to form
the basis of every branch of Useful Knowledge, and are of them-
selves, in fact, "an epitome of the Arts and Sciences." The style
in which they are written is at (nice clear and simple, conveying
instruction to the youthful mind in a manner unattainable by the
use of more elaborate and comprehensive Works. In short, while
they fix °tithe mind the leading facts in History, and the funda-
mental principles of Science, the Memory is relieved front the
burden of retaining a mass of rninutix with which larger Books
necessarily abound. They consist of separate Catechisms on the
following subjects :
Agriculture
Algebra, 2 parts
Ancient History
Ancient Geography
Architecture
Arithmetic
Astronomy

The Proprietors of these Publications respectfully submit the fol-
lowing opinion of the Lord Chancellor of &lewd (the especia-
Guardian of British Youth), as delivered by hint in the Court of

Chancery, July S 7, 1819. ."
Mr. Wetherell having applied to the Lord Chancellor to grant an
injunction to restrain certain ilookseners from printing, publishing,
and selling, pirated Editiona of " Pinnock's Catechisms," the ori-
ginals of w hich he denominated " Useful Compendiums of Instruc-
tion for the Juvenile Classes of Society ;" his Lordship, on com-
paring the spurious copies with the Genuine Works, granted the
Injunction; and after having attentively examined the latter, was
pleased to make the following important observation on them :
" It appears to me that Adults might be greatly benefited by the
instruction these Books contain, as well as the Younger Blanches
of Society."
The Publishers respectfully beg leave to observe, that indepen-
dent of the high encomium abovementioned, " Pinnock's Cate-
chisms" have met with the general Dpprobation of a most numerous
and respectable Class of intelligent Teachers. They need only to be
seen to ensure their universal adoption; the information they con-
tain in so small a compass being unparalleled, and the style in which
they are written, combining ea..e, conciseness, and perspicuity.
" Being led to look into these works, we have been pleasingly
surprised at the variety and accuracy of the information they con-
tain, within se small a compass, and in- so excellent a form ; and
we must say, that more convenient, accurate, well-arranged, and
proper publications, wire never submitted to general observation."
—Literary Gazette.
It is necessary to remark, that many spurious Editions ex-
ternally resembling the ab&e, are circulated throughout the King-
dom. The Public should therefore be cautious to purchase none
hnt such as have the names of the Publishers (G. and W. B. Whit-
' taker) in the Title-pages.

FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH, &c.
WORMS ate the cau-e of many internalafflictions,
which vary so much in their effects that they may be mis-
taken by the most eminent physician, and prove equally fatal to the
constitutions of adults and children, though the latter more exten-
sively suffer from their destructive ravaus. Their more usual
symptoms are Fits, Pains,in the Stomach, Side, and Ilead, Los, of
Appetite, and pale, languid, and emaciated appearance in the Pa-
tient. The extraordinary efficacy of CIIING'S PATENT
WORM LOZENGES in all such complaints, as well as obstruc-
tions in the bowels, and every disorder where opening or cleansing
physic is required, is so universally known, and has seen publicly
acknowledged by so many persons of distinction and rank in so-
ciety. that it is unnecessary here to enlarge on their peculiar virtues.

LEAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for
curing, in all its stages, the VENEREAL DISEASE
One small I'ill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent
case; will soon ccnvince the patient of the certainty of his speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
conveanent than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go jemmies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of t)iet ; and
sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it
will effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods
avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chitnica ahsorders,
this Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,000 persons
of both sexes have been radically cured of the above cruel disor.
dere, within the last eight years. Prepared and sold by the vole
