37. AN HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE FRENCH RE-
VOLUTION OF 1848, from the Reform Banquets to the Elec-
tion of the National Assembly, and the Establishment of the
Republic.
38. RICHMOND, HAMPTON COURT, AND KEY. A
Guide for Visitors, including a Catalogue of all the Pictures in
Hampton Court, valuable historical information, &c. With a
Map of the surrounding country.
" This is an unpretending but a very useful publication, now
extending to 38 parts, treating of many subjects of general
importance. Thus we have excellent practical treatises on the
management of the Flower, Fruit, and Kitchen Garden ; an
account of every Vegetable Production cultivated for the table
by the plough and the spade; one of the best manuals for the
study of Botany with which we are acquainted ; Vegetable Phy-
siology, and the British Forest Trees, are the subjects of two
parts ; a popular view of the Natural and Domestic History of
the Cotton Plant, of a third ; whilst Cookery, Confectionery,
and Brewing, the Diseases and Management of Children, the
Functions of Human Body, and Domestic Medicine, have
each a part devoted to their elucidation. There are treatises
on Geology, Mineralogy, and the Steam Engine; descriptive
accounts of Australia, Canada, and China—how to spend a
Week in London, and a Guide to Excursions in the Vicinity of
the Metropolis; Directions for Letter-writing, and the Young
Man's Mentor;—an account of every sect professing Chris-
tianity; a popular view of the Progress of Music on the Conti-
nent of Europe; instructions for the Breeding, Feeding, and
Management of Domestic Animals; and of the Habits, Dis-
eases, &c. of the Horse. From this enumeration of some of
the contents of the Library,' as far it has progressed, it will be
seen, that it embraces a circle of the sciences, fine arts, and phi-
losophy; not neglecting the more important subjects of reli-
gion and ethics. To render this ' circle' complete, other subjects
must be treated of—and we have no doubt but that they will
be in due order; and the work will thus be rendered a most
valuable compedium, either for reference to refresh the memory
of those who have made the various subjects their study in
early life—or as substantive sources of information for those
whose means do not enable them to resort to the original well-
springs of knowledge. Each subject is completed in one part ;
and the labour bestowed on the work can only be duly appre-
ciated by those who have undertaken any portion of it. We
have gone through most of the parts already published, and
have been surprised by the quantity of information which is
comprised in them.—The price is extremely low, and places
this ' Library' of really Useful Knowledge' within the reach
of all readers."—Norfolk Chronicle.

JOSEPH. GUY, late of the Royal Military College, Great Mar-
low, Author of the " School Arithmetic," "School Geography,"
"Elements of Ancient, Modern, and British History," " School
Question Books," &c. The popularity of this established book
is unrivalled. Since its first appearance its sale has exceeded
1,000,000 copses, and it still holds the first place in all schools
and families. In justice to the admired author, (the best wri-
ter perhaps that ever gave his mind to works of education,) the
publishers wish to remind teachers that his name was "Joseph,"
--`' •

books, by adventurers of a similar sirrnamre, have been made.
This, and all JOSEPH GUY'S popular School-books, are
