LOUDON'S A ItCU ITIiCT UR L MAU Zi The two Hum-
bert; before us contain lour exquisitely engraved plates of St.
Paul's Cathedral, a beautiful wood engraving of the Cathedral,
as it appeared before the fire in lfifiu. and others of the monu-
ments to Lord Nelson, the Margois Corowo ilis, and Bishop
Lieber.. The letter-press appears to Le compiled with taste and
judgment, combining historical relation with critical and 'pro-
fessional remit' ks ; arid on the wrapper of each number is given
a .glossary. of technical expressions firr the use of non-professional
readers. The exi reme cheapness of the work, and the superior
manner in which it is gut up, cannot Call to ensure a very ex-
tensivefide."

Tue GENII Ell A N'S M AG A ZINE.—" When it is borne in mind
that some exceedingly good specimens of ecclesiastical a rchi•
tecture are to be witm,sed.in the works of Wreu, it seems
perfectly unaccountable that so few of them hare received that
degree of attention, trout writers on the subject ot church alehi-
tecture, which their merits and importance were eiVilled to
demand ; and in addition to the beautiful examples with which
the great master we .haVe just named has embellished the me-
tropolis, there are a few of its ancient glories still existing.
-Very few indeed of these subjects have been adequately illus-
trated; and indeed the whole have been treated w►th an inex-
cusable neglect. It is therefore pleasing to see the wutk takeu
up by able hands."
THE liiitrtsu 111AGAzINE.—" It was a bold thing, in so
small a publicat►on, to Venture on St. Paul's: but there is much
cleverness in the way in which many details of that magnificent
church have been given. The letter-press is very good and
useful."
Tut: LITI4IZARY GA ZETTE —" This undertaking is Worthyof.
the iising talent of Mr. G-idwin, and promises to be a very cum-
. plete,and interesting production. j number before is alto 7
get her a fa%out able specimen.'
THE STAN OA RD.--" It WOUid seem ahnost impossible to give
ail air of novelly to a subject SO familiar as this; yet the con-
ductors of this work have contrived to do so. Even St. Paul's
itself ►s presented to the eye in points of view which never
before occurred. The view front the Whispering Gallery is
bold in conception, and successful in execution."
Tits: ATLas.--A r. Godwin. fun., assisted by the indefati-
gable antivarian, J. Britton, Esq., has commenceo a work ot•
great interest and equal merit, if we may judge from the first
number. It presents, us with two views of St: Paul's, the
second of which is of a remarkable character, combining- the
eljeci of two views within the dome. The striking effect of this
extraordinary print is sufficient of itself to give a character to
the work."

TUN ASIATIC JOURNAL.—". Three parts of this elegant,
acceptable. and very cheap work, have appeared, anti they do
infinite credit to the artists and the authors. Each number con-
tains two views of a church, with historical and antiquarian
matter."

The Work will continue to appear in monthly numbers, at
one shilling each ; and for the convenience of those who do not
wish to tike the whole, each parish is paged separately : the
two volumes below-mentioned are therefore each coulidete in
themselves.
