The ENCYCLOP/EDIA BRITANNICA forms a Dictionary of
Arts, Sciences, and Literature, on the most improved and
comprehensive plan. It was the first work of the class which
aspired to embrace all the departments of human knowledge;
and the superiority of its methods, as well as the general merit
of its articles, have obtained for it a larger share of success
and approbation than ever attended any similar undertaking.
It has been the leading object of its conductors to combine
abstract with practical, and solid with pleasing information,
in such proportions as Ayuuld be most useful and most accept-
able to the pblic—to dellVer the truths of science in the most
accura6 and intelligible form, and, RA the same time, to pay
due attention to those branches of knowledge "hick: though
not admitting of a scientific shape, are yet deservedly popular,
and have a powerful influence on' the taste, habits, and cha-
racter of the individual—in 4/4vord, to render the Work at
once a Dictionary of Science,Va copious abstract of Literature
and Philosophy, and a book of Universal Reference. Of their
success in carrying this plan into execution, it is scarcely
necessary to speak. The publication of Six EDITIONS, with
successive improvements, and the sale of upwards of
.17tirty
Thousand Copies, afford unequivocal proofs of the high estima-
tionin which the work has been held.

The SEVENTH EDlTlO;,lloiV—ili—course of publication, has
received a variety of important corrections and improvements.
In the execution of these, the EDITOR enjoys the assistance of
the eminent Literary and Scientific men whose labours have
reflected so high a lustre on the late SUPPLEMENT; and he has
also secured the co-operation of many other distinguished
authors who had not before contributed to the Work. The
Proprietors therefore feel assured that the present EDITION of
the ENCYCLOP/EDIA BRITANNICA will form the most valuate
Digest of Human Knowledge that has yet appeared in Britain,
in the convenient form of a Dictionary.

Opened on MONDAY, the 27th instant, when he trusts that the'

support of a liberal and enlightened public.
Considerable misapprehension having prevailed with respect
to the terms already announced, which have been very gene-
rally objected to, as being too high for families, Mr. ATKINS
begs leave to submit another sqhle of charges, which he trusts
will be found generally acceptaige. He has also been induced
to withdraw the charge for entrance, to which many objections
have been urged, being anxious to meet, in every possible way,
the wishes of the public. The entrance fee will be returned to
those subscribers who have already paid it on application at the
Gardens.

Mr. ATK INS respectfully solicits those who intend to honou
the Zoological Gardens with their patronage, to favour him with
their names and address as early as possible, either at the Gar-
