I shall, with the most plodding diligence, go over every
line, word, and letter of each play or poem, in order to be
sure that the new edition corresponds with the ancient
copies, as far as they are to be followed, and that no syllable
is passed over or omitted that can be corrected or recovered.
Upon this task I have been more or less employed for many
years, as I was able to procure copies of the original editions ;
but of late I have enjoyed facilities for the purpose of going
through the plays again, and of completing my undertaking,
such as, I may confidently assert, no other editor ever
possessed.

superior advantages of model mapping (by which is meant
the construction of maps or plans of estates, towns, &c., of

some plastic material, so as to show, along with its mere
acreage, and lineal form and divisions, the irregularities upon
the surface) over the ordinary maps in use, as being far more
intelligible, and at the same time allowing accurate data for
ascertaining, without the necessity of continually surveying
and taking levels upon the land itself, the best direction for
carrying drains, and diverting water for the purposes of

irrigation,

The importance of proper drainage of land cannot be too
much insisted upon the friends of nativ agriculture ; and we
must express our conviction that the adoption of the plan of
mapping, explained by Mr. Denton, will materially facilitate
and cheapen ultimately the operation of the practical farmer,
to whom we, therefore, cordially recommend its perusal.

The Asiatic Journal, for December, 1841. W. H. Allen,
and Co., Leadenhall-street.

We are compelled to defer for the present a detailed notice
of this valuable publication, which has only just come into
our hands. The mass of useful and interesting matter which
it contains deserves attentive perusal ; and to all those who
are interested in the state of our Indian empire, must at the
present crisis be of increased value. We shall return to it
perhaps in our next.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tats DAY

Grain up Coastwise since this day week, and except a further
good supply of Oatmeal, the receipts from Ireland are very
moderate. Of Foreign and Canadian produce, the arrivals
fresh In contain 5510 qrs. of Wheat, a few parcels of Beans
and Pease, with 3382 barrels of Flour, as specified below.
Although we had a tolerable number of town and country
millers at this day's market, the demand for all descriptions
of free Wheat continued upon a very moderate scale; holders
in general, however, remained firm, and the currency of this
day week was supported in the sales which took place. A few
further parcels of bonded Wheat, in granary and to arrive,
have changed hands, on terms rather exceeding the rates
stated on Friday.
Free States and Canadian Flour continued to meet a steady
sale at the advance above mentioned ; but English and Irish,
nearly without inquiry, scarcely sustained former

prices.
Malting Barley continued in very languid request, at the
reduced rates of Friday ; and grinding parcels were nominally
a shade lower in value.—Malt was dull, and Is. per quarter
.—Beans were in moderate demand, and the turn
dearer.

Oats, appearing to claim somewhat more attention than of
late, fully maintained our last quotations, and very fine qua-
lities, if at hand, would have realised some amendment.
Oatmeal, upon an improved demand, commanded 3d to 6d
per 240 lbs, over the rates of this day se'nnight.
