CRITICAL NOTICES FOR 1841.

" Every Protestant Family should possess a copy of this
almanack. It is an invaluable epitome of facts bearing upon
the history constitution, and working of the Papal system.
Amongst other items of information this year we have a
memoir of Archbishop Cranmer, a list of bad popes, a registry
of the births and deaths of British reformers, a statement of
the money paid by government for the support of Popery in
the colonies, a table of Popish errors, with the dates of their
origin, an account of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, with
an engraving and description of the medal struck at Rome to
commemorate that event, and a chronological list of remark-
able events, ranging from the earliest periods of the Christian
era to the present day, in addition to the calendar and tide-
table for the year, and other useful matter. The compiler is
deserving of great credit for the design, as well as for the in-
dustry exerted in following it out."—Liverpool Courier,
Nov. 25, 1841.

" This almanack is likely to prove one of the most valuable
published, and we should be quite delighted to hear that a
copy of it has been hung up in every counting-house and shop
in the kingdom, the owners of which pride themselves upon
their conservative and Protestant principles. It is well com-
piled, and contains matter of a highly interesting and valuable
character. The embellishments exhibit some taste in their
arrangement and selection, as well as being appropriate to
the principles of the almanack We recommend this
almanack to notice. Every Protestant bookseller in the
kingdom ought to push the sale of it. It reflects great credit
on the compiler, (the Secretary to the Protestant Association,)
and is another proof of his active industry and suitable
qualifications for his office."—Liverpool Standard.
" This very cheap, useful, and elegant almanack, compiled
by Mr. Crisp, (and the second which he has issued,) is in
every way worthy of a place in the house of every Protestant
family."—Liverpool Mail.
" A new kind of almanack has made its appearance at
Liverpool,—one, we trust, which will prove the beginning
only and the precedent for many more of a kindred character.
It is in the shape of a broad sheet, and most suitable for
being pasted wherever au eye can reach it. The form of it
for 1841 is an improvement on that of 1840. We would re-
commend the proper authorities to frame it, and hang it up
above the Speaker's chair in the House of Commons • also
near the woolsack, and exposed to the view of their lordships ;
and it may be useful to send a few copies to Lord Melbourne,
which, owing to that ' great national boon from Whig wis-
dom,' the penny-post, can be very easily accomplished. We
must, however, beg Mr. Crisp, the ingenious composer of

this useful document, to strike off for 1842 two editions, one
precisely the facsimile of that on our table, and another im-
pression, of not less than a thousand, round, and exactly the
size of the crown of an ordinary hat, to be transmitted as
a new year's gift to every member of parliament. It must
prove a comfort to the Hon. Member for all Ireland; cheer-
ing his heart with the momentoes of those happier days when,
instead of abusing that intrepid heretic M`Neile with the
tongue, he and Dr. Mac Hale might have piously roasted him
at a slow fire, and made Nl`Ghee and O'Sullivan carry fagots
to enable them to perform the praiseworthy exploit. We
sincerely wish Mr. Crisp's almanack a vast circulation.—
