letteyelopedia Britannica. Whittaker, Treacher,
and Co.—W e have no ordinary degree of satisfaction in
calling public attention to the commencement of a new edi-
tion of this work, which has so long maintained an impor-
tant station, if it may not, indeed, be said to stand at the
very head of the department of literature to which it be-
longs. We have now before no the first part of the say MR
EDITION • and under the judicious superrmtendance of the
learned Editor, Professor NAPIER, we can feel warranted
in anticipating, that the forthcoming volumes of this
splendid Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous
ottelligence, will be worthy of the celebrity which the
work has long enjoyed, and of the distinguished talents
of its conductor.

The Encyclopedia—particularly since the commence-
ment of the third edition, which, we believe, was in the
year 1789—has invariably. been regarded as a standard
work of the first order. Its enlarged plan, at that time,
uas so skilfully combined, and so well adapted to the
great body of general readers, that not less than from
.20,000—0 r we might rather say 25,000—copies have
been sold, exclusive of the reprints which have been
made in America. But even that popular plan which
then recommended the work to public favour, has, in
the present edition, undergone very considerable im-
provement ; the invaluable preliminary dissertations by
Professors STEWART, PLAYFAIR, and LESLIE, which
formed so great an ornament to the
,supplement of the
last edition, together with a new* introductory disser-
tation br Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, are to constitute
the first volume. We likewise find that each of the
!fret twelve parts will consist, half of the first volume,
and half of the second, or alphabetical part; the twelfth
part will complete both first and second volumes.—
At the same time, the text of the several articles—so
far as we have seen—has been carefully revised ; and
those on scientific and historical subjects brought to the
level of the latest discoveries and the most recently ac-
pired information. In confirmation of this assertion, we
would beg to point out to the reader,tbe interesting article
on Abyssinia, in the part just published.
So far as the specimen given enables us to pronounce,
we think that the talented Editor and the enterprising
Publisher have done their duty to the public. The paper,
printing, and engravings are all—as they ought to be—
decidedly superior to the last edition ; at the same time
that the text page embraces more matter than before.—
The extreme correctness of the typographical arrange-
ment entitles them to the highest praise ; and withal, the
price—that very important feature in such a publication
—has been made so reasonable, as, together with the con-
venience of receiving it in monthly parts, must bring it
ithin the reach of the most moderate fortunes.
