Now publishing, in Monthly Parts, with Two Illustrations,
Price 3s each,
THE HOLY BIBLE, with Notes, Practical Observa-
tions, and Marginal References.
By the late Rev. THOMAS SCOTT,
Rector of Aston Sandford.
WITH EIGHTYPOUR ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS.
(To be completed in Forty.two Parts.)
The Lord Chancellor having dissolved the injunction ob-
tained against Messrs. Fisher and Co., on the ground that
the distinction between the two editions was so obvious that
no one would be deceived by their advertisement, and there-
fore no injury would be sustained by the plaintiffs, the Pro-
prietors of the Standard Edition (the only one which does
contain the -author's last corrections and additions) feel it
necessary to state fully and explicitly the difference which
exists between that edition and the fourth, from which
Messrs. Fisher and Co. are reprinting.
Five successive editions of Mr. Scott's great work were
printed (excepting a few sheets of the last edition) in the
author's lifetime. The first edition appeared in the years
1788-1792 ; the second in the years 1802-1807 ; the third
in the years 1807-1811. All these three editions were re-
vised and carried through the press by Mr. Scott himself.
In the year 1811, Mr. Scott sold the copyright of his work
to the present proprietors, who, in the year 1812 published a
fourth edition, which was printed with too great haste, and
in carrying which through the press Mr. Scott had no part.
In a letter printed in his Life, of the date of March 3, 1818.
he says, " As I was not employed about the last edition,"
&c. He continually complained of its incorrectness, and in
another letter, now in the possession of the proprietors, he
adds, " Few things have more mortified me than it has
done ; especially as, while I live, the public in general will
impute its inaccuracies to me." _ _

This edition, then, the fourth of the date 1812, being the
only one printed in his lifetime which Mr. Scott did not su-
perintend, and the one whose numerous errors caused him
so much mortification, is the one which Messrs. Fisher and
Co. are now republishing ; and which they announce •as
" the last which was published by Mr. Scott when in the
vigour of life." The fact being that it was never published
or edited by Mr. Scott at all !

Subsequently, however, ' to this edition of 1812, Mr. Scott
undertook, at the request of, the proprietors, another and a
~ f
final revision of the work, ran edition," as he himself
expresses it, " which should for an
STANDARD OF THE
wonx as long as it might exist"—(Life, p. 310.) This
longest and most laborious revisii occupied the greater part
of his time, for several of the lastm years of his life. In the
course of this revision he made many
work to the extent ofny most important addi-
tions ; increasing the bulk of t
four hundred Rages; none of which new matter, being copy-
right, can be given in Messrs. Fisher's
edition.
Under these circumstances, Messrs. Fisher,the public would not readily purchase so defective
foreseeing that
an edition,
have latterly tried to make
it appear that thesimprovements
eatite
were not Mr. Scott's. Observing that Mr. co
avail t, like most
other authors of voluminous works, was obligedg
him-
self of the services of a literary assistant, a
name of Dawes, who resided with him for the last eight
of the
years
of his life, they have recently asserted (without h
, Mr.
Dc !
a
ground whatever for such an assertion) that the having
additions in
question were made by Mr. Dawes, and not by mt. any
.
In answer to which most unjustifiable assertion
has himself come forward, and in a letter to the editor of the
s el
Record newspaper, of April 12, has distinctly declared that -
tire whole authorship of that edition was Mr. Scott's, and
Mr. Scott's alone ; and that " it is insufferably insulting to
the memory of that great man, to convey the impression that
he would permit his principal work to be patched up by
another person."
And with this full explanation, the proprietors now leave
the whole case with the public. They cannot doubt that
every purchaser who is at all careful as to the intrinsic
character of the work he is ordering, will prefer that
edition which Mr. Scott designed to be „the standard of
the work so long as it should exist." The price ot the com-
plete work in six volumes, with a large type, is only six
guineas ; and a new edition, with engravings, is publishing
in 42 monthly parts, at 3s. each : while the imperial octavo
copy, which is greatly superior to Messrs. Fisher's, is now
reduced to the very low price of three guineas in cloth.

QUENCE;
it is A PRINCELY DOMAIN IN EXTENT,

who pay their rents withoat a murmur; the word arrear
could not be found in their vocabulary ; they are held on
leases for lives, with fines on renewal, at most inadequate
rents; indeed the rental may be assimilated to
FREEHOLD GROUND RENTS;
and to demonstrate this fact more clearly, it need only to be
remarked that the present rental is only £l,BOO, and the
value exceeds
FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.
The situation of this fine demense is almost beyond com-
mendation ; it has been compared, and with great truth, to

GENEVA'S FAVOURED SCENERY.
It is on the road from Dublin to Drogheda, encircled by the
estates of Lord Clifton, Sir Compton Domville, Bart., Sir
Capel Molineux, and Sir Henry IVlnte Jervis, Bart., and it
may be remarked the rents paid are not subject to any de-
duction.

On FRIDAY next, the 20th instant, at One o'clock, on the
Premises, (if not previously disposed of by Private Con-

tract,)
THE beautiful and picturesque Marine Villa of FORT
ANNE, in the Isle of Man.

FORT ANNE is finely situated on an eminence command-
ing magnificent views over the Town of Douglas, the whole
of the Bay, and the surrounding Country, combining an ex-
tent and diversity of scenery which but few Marine Villas in
the United Kingdom can boast.
The Mansion, which is too well known to require any mi-
nute description, was built at an unsparing expense by the
late celebrated Thomas Whalley, Esq., for his own Residence.
The principal Apartments are large, arranged with great taste
and judgment, for the accommodation of a family of distinc-
tion, and finished in the most substantial and superior style,
with Mahogany Doors and Plate Glass in the Windows.
The Bedrooms, Offices, Stables, Coachhouse, and Pre-
mises are numerous, extensive, and commodious. The en-
trance is through a Conservatory nearly sixty feet long ; there
is also a Warm and Cold Bath, and other accommodations.

The whole of the Property comprises fully Six Acres, ex-
tending nearly a quarter of a mile along the south side of
Douglas Bay, commanding the anchorage and the entrance of
the Harbour, the value of which is greatly enhanced from its
being the only frontage on that side of the bay not already
disposed of, and which would most unquestionably be greatly
augmented by the construction of the contemplated Break-
water, by which Douglas would become a grand Central
Harbour of Refuge for the Irish Sea.
The Grounds are now laid out in very picturesque Walks
and Shrubberies, a well-wooded and romantic Glen, and
four walled and well-stocked Gardens.

Fort Anne is equally desirable as a permanent Residence
for a Family, or as a Marine Villa for a Nobleman or Gen-
tleman frequenting these Seas during the Summer Season in
his own Yacht; or it is capable, at a moderate expense, of
being so enlarged as to afford every accommodation for an
Hotel of the first class, peculiarly situated for facility of land-
ing from and embarkation on board the Steam-packets which
continually frequent the Bay, and is so ready of access to
Douglas as to ensure a constant succession of Visitors at
every Season of the Year; it also unquestionably possesses
the finest situation for Sea Bathing at all times of the Tide,
in the purest water, and in perfect retirement, which the Isle
of Man affords.

For particulars and Tickets to view the Premises apply to
Messrs. FOSTER and STEWART : or to Messrs. WINSTAN-
LEY and SONS, Liverpool; to J. B. HARRISON, Esq.,
Atholl-street ; J. C. BLuLTT, Esq. ; or L. CRAIGIE, Esq.,
