Common Council.

111 HE unrivalled satisfaction which the abovenamed work has
given to the Subscribers, and the very high encomiums
which have been passed upon this undertaking by the most
competent judges, renders it unnecessary on the part of the

Yellowing select Testimonials from the high and distinguished
authority of the Right Hon. Lord Brougham and Vaux, Olinthus

mile, is the finest thing I ever saw."—LORD c ouGuast.
" I had opportunities of inspecting varto • portions of Mr.
Gage's Plan of the Town, Port, and Vicizi,s f Liverpool, during
its progress, and have now the pleasure ~.'•xamining it since its
completion. Both as an interesting an' valuable result of the
application of scientific principles, and as a beautiful work of
art, it may be unhesitatingly characterized as altogether unique.

this extraordinary specimen of his talents, accuracy, and per-

LITERARY NOTICES.
" I believe your arrangements are perfectly in accordance
with the principles of my Harmony.
" It is unavoidable in a scheme like that of your Chart, that
it appears at first sight crowded and perplexed by the multitude
of its details; followed up, however, by the aid of the Key, it
becomes simple and distinct; and I have no doubt, when once
studied and understood, will be thought to have realized your
proposed object, as well as anything of the kind that could have
been attempted." - Frcnn the Rev. Edward Creswell, BD. &c. c.
" We strongly recommend it to families and schools, and also
for lecture-rooms."-Christian Observer for Dec. 1832.
"The whole is admirably calculated to impress on the mind of
the Biblical Student, and especially of young persons, a precise
and correct idea of the personal history of our Lord."-Chris-
tian Guardian, Feb. 1833.
" The most valuable assistance that ancient or modern times
have ever produced."-Christian Advocate, Feb. 11, 1833.
"We must confess we never formed any adequate conception
of the force of the declaration, that our Lord went about doing
good,' till we traced his journeyings on this Map."-Protestant
Journal for August, 1833.
" This Chart is really not only very beautiful, but very useful.
There is nothing more difficult than to keep before one's mind
the order of our Lord's journeys, and their direction. This
Chart brings each journey before the eye, and nothing can
more effectually fix things in the mind. And when to great
beauty of execution, one feels that he can safely add the praise
of high accuracy, as far as learning, like Mr. Greswell's, can
insure it, nothing more need be said on the merit of the work."
-British Mag. Feb. 1834.
" It would be unjust not to spare one line for mentioning the
splendidly elaborated Chart of Mr. Mimpriss, a work of vast,
and, we hope, of well repaid toil."-Theoloyical Review for April

It forms a most valuable auxiliary in the lecture-room, and
a useful asssistant in the study of divinity."-Rey. 77sos. Hart

and greatly aid his gospel,discoveries."-Sunday School Teach-
er's Magazine, July, 1834.
" Is one of the most remarkable works of the kind that the
age has produced, and we most sincerely wish the author ade-
quate encouragement."-Wesleyan Methodist's Mag. Nov. 1834.
" We regard each of these publications as a valuable addition
to our stock of educational works, and as peculiarly valuable,
not only to families and schools, but to clergymen engaged in
cathecatical instruction."-Record, Feb. 2, 1835.
" We have never seen the attempt made in combination with
so many useful objects, or executed with any thing like the gra-
phical beauty of the present work."-Congregational Magazine,
Feb. 1831.
