AN HISTORICAL, FINANCIAL, AND STATISTI-
CAL ACCOUNT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
CHILI, from 1822 to 1839. By the Retired Governor of the
Island of Juan Fernandez.
Captain Basil Hall, R.N., F.R.S., has just published his
sixth edition, entitled, " Extracts from a Journal written on
the coasts of Chili, Peru, and Mexico, in the years 1820, 1821,
and 1822." And in the advertisement to his work, after al-
luding to it and the momentous scenes passing at that period,
says as follows :

A. similar work, or one executed in the same plan, at the
present moment, after an interval of nearly twenty years,
would unquestionably afford matter for one of the most in-
teresting, and, perhaps, useful comparisons between promise
and performance, that the political world has ever witnessed."
—London, March, 1840. _ •

This ha;gemboldened me to offer the above information to
my countrymen : the MSS. are ready for the press, and if
encouraged by a sufficient number of subscribers, those who
are interested with the history of that part of South America,
and more especially the bond holders, may soon have a re-
trospective view of what has been the occasion of the non-
payment of their d'vidends ever since 1826 ; as well as a
faithful and impartial statement of the resources of Chili.
The work will be completed in 2 vols., Bvo., price 205..
illustrated with maps and engravings. Subscriptions received
at the Standard-office, Liverpool; and by Mr. SUTCLIFFE,
Welbeck-street, Ashton-under-Lyne.
