*** It is presumed that this work will be found the most accurate, comprehensive, and concise, which has hitherto appeared upon the subject; an unprecedented mass of information having been obtained from the highest sources. The lineage of almost every house is deduced from the earliest era, and the genealogical details are interspersed with many interesting anecdotes of the various families. The Baronets of Scotland and Ireland, with their armorial bearings, &c. form a new feature in this Edition; and an Essay upon the origin of titles of honour in England, with Engravings of the various orders of nobility and knighthood, considerably augment the interest of the whole.

“ Mirth and motion prolong life.” “These two volumes abound in practical instruction of a rare and useful kind.”

“ We recommend the “Traveller's Oracle' as a very amusing and instructive publication-it is worth buying and reading, and will become, we doubt not, a popular book.” -Atlas,

XV. The REMINISCENCES of HENRY ANGELO. 8vo. 148. *** This work comprises Memoirs of the elder Angelo, his friends, and connexions, from his first arrival in England in 1750. It will contain numerous original anecdotes and curious traits in the personal history of many noble and illustrious characters. But the book will abound, not only in piquant matter relating to persons of rank, but of talent also—for the elder Angelo's intimacy with Englishmen, as well as foreigners, professors of all the fine arts, &c. made his house, in Carlisle-street, for many years the rendezvous of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Garrick, the Sheridans, the Linleys, Gainsborough, Foote, Bach, Abel, &c.

XVIII. An OCTAVO EDITION of the DIARY and CORRESPONDENCE of Samuel Pepys, Esq., F.R.S., Secretary to the Admiralty in the reigns of Charles II. and James II., and the intimate friend of the celebrated John Evelyn. Edited by RICHARD, LORD BRAYBROOKE. In 5 Vols, embellished with Portraits and other Engravings.

“ There is much (in Pepys's Diary) that throws a distinct and vivid light over the picture of England and its Government, during the ten years succeeding the Restoration.

“ If, quitting the broad path of history, we look for minute information concerning ancient manners and customs, the progress of arts and sciences, and the various branches of antiquity, we have never seen a mine so rich as the volumes before us. The variety of Pepys's tastes and pursuits led him into almost every department of life. He was a man of business ; a man of information, if not of learning; a man of taste; a man of whim; and, to a certain degree, a man of pleasure. He was a statesman, a bel-esprit, a virtuoso, and a connoisseur. His curiosity made him an unwearied, as well as an universal learner, and whatever he saw, found its way into his tables."- Quarterly Review.

IN THE PRESS, THE DIARY of a MEMBER in the PARLIAMENTS of the PROTECTORS, OLIVER and RICHARD CROMWELL, from 1656 to 1659, now first published from the original Autograph Manuscript, in the possession of William Upcott, of the London Institution. Interspersed with several curious Documents and Notices, Historical and Biographical. By JOHN TOWELL RUTT, Esq. In 4 vols. 8vo. with Plates.

This Work will include a variety of Original Papers, tending to illustrate the Parliamentary Debates, which form the principal subjects of the Diary, and to fill that chasm, so long existing in our Parliamentary History. The new facts and arguments contained in these Volumes, will serve especially to develope the project of Cromwell for the assumption of the Royal dignity; the real extent of his power as Protector ; the manner of his Administration, and the rapid decline and speedy extinction of that power under the short Protectorate of his Son.

On the 1st of January was published, THE FOURTH NUMBER of the QUARTERLY JOURNAL

of Science, Literature, and Art. (New Series.) Edited at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. By W.T. BRANDE, Èsq., F.R.S., Prof. Chem. R. I., &c.

*** This work will in future be conducted upon a more extended and popular plan than "hitherto; and, instead of being chiefly confined to the abstract Sciences, and prin. cipally addressed to the proficient, it is proposed to render its contents more suitable to the general reader; for it cannot be denied that the elements of many of the Sciences, when treated in a popular manner, are as interesting in the perusal, as they are useful and important in their results. The subjects discussed will, accordingly, consist chiefly of such Sciences and Arts as are cultivated more or less in domestic circles, and which consequently number, among their Students, a large body of Amateurs of both sexes in various classes of society, particularly in the highest; as, for example, Chemistry, Botany, Horticulture, Geology, Astronomy, Natural History, in all its divisions (especially the very attractive one of Zoology), Music, Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. Popular Treatises on the Medical Art will also be included, particularly as it relates to Diet, Air, Exercise, &c.

Another portion of this Journal will be devoted to the Biographies of Scientific Men, and to Reviews of such Publications as may be considered to have relation to the general design of the work; including Voyages and Travels, Books connected with Antiquities, &c. &c. A full Quarterly Abstract will also be given of all that relates to the General Progress of the Arts in this and other Countries. The Proceedings of Learned Bodies, and of Scientific and Literary Institutions, will thus form a department, in which an opportunity will doubtless be offered of furnishing much that is new and interesting. The Transactions of the Members of the Royal Institution especially, will form a prominent article, and, from their varied nature, may be expected to confer a useful and distinctive character upon the Quarterly Journal of Science, Literature, and Art.

Communications for the Editor are requested to be addressed to the Royal Institution, Albemarle Street.

Priuted for Henry Colburn, New Burlington Street, London.
