The Spanish Flower-Girl. Engraved by R.
Graves, from a painting by Murillo.
THIS is to be the frontispiece to the Amulet
for 1829. Every body knows the exquisite
beauty and character of the original picture,
which is one of the most valuable ornaments of
the Dulwich Gallery, rich as that gallery is in
the works of Murillo. The name of Mr. Graves
is new to us as an engraver for any of the An-
nuals, and we rather think that this is his first
contribution to them. Under these circum-
stances, and without entering into any invi-
dious comparisons, we can justly say, that his
plate is highly creditable to him; and that we
have no doubt he will give us future oppor-
tunities of more unreserved eulogium.

DRURY LANE.

MR. FARREN made his appearance at this theatre last Thursday week, and played Sir Peter Teazle in his usual style of excellence. Mr. Liston was the Crabtree, and Mr. Harley the Sir B. Backbite-both, we believe, for the first time. They could not be otherwise than amusing; but they were certainly out of their element. Mr. Jones, who was evidently labouring under indisposition, played Charles Surface, and Mr. Cooper Joseph; but, next to Farren's Sir Peter, the Mrs. Candour of Mrs. Davison deserves the most honourable mention. A translation of La Reine de Seize Ans, was announced for representation yesterday; and we perceive by the bills that the popularity of The Green-eyed Monster has induced Mr. Price to put it into rehearsal at this theatre.

The king has contributed to it a thousand crowns; the prince royal five hundred; the princess royal three hundred. This is an example worthy of imitation in England. We hear constant complaints of bad servants; but no means are adopted of encouraging them to be better. Servants are very like their masters and mistresses; that is, they are very apt to be influenced by motives of interest.

MILLER. AN ESSAY on the MEANS of DISCO

In 2 vols. 8vo. price 17:11s. 6d.
"His (General Miller's) personal adventures form a prominent
in those various scenes; and his account of a multitude

featue persons who have acted a conspicuous part in the struggle,
as well as of the leading incidents, vicissitudes, intrigues, mar-
ders, battles, and massacres, in which they figured, give great
animation to the Memoirs."-Literary Gazette.

"These Memoirs are by far the most interesting and import-
ant work upon the recent revolutions of the new world. The
military portions of the work have all the charms of a romance,
united to the most scrupulous truth and fidelity; and the minut-
est details are rendered intelligible by the admirably executed
maps and plans."-London Weekly Review.

"On the whole, the work is one of extreme interest, as well as

of the highest authority. It is written without the slightest
tension, but in general, with perfect clearness and elegance."-
Atheneum.

"We venture to prophesy that the Cook's Oracle' will be considered as the English Institute of Cookery."-Edinburgh Re, viem, March 1821.

"For practical precepts, we recommend particularly and chiefly, the Cook's Oracle,' in which, along with the plainest directions, there is more of philosophy, and, if we may so speak, of the literature of gastronomy, than in any work we have seen."Supplement to the Encyclopædia Britannica-Article, Food.

The Cook's Oracle' we consider as the ne plus ultra of the science of eating, and the very acme of excellence in culinary literature. So much good sense, combined with such exquisite gourmanderie,-so much plain pot information, conveyed in so truly humorous and original a style,-place the work on the very eminence of the ample dome of cookery."-Monthly Review, Dec. 1881.

No better proof can be given of the justice of the opinions now quoted, than the simple statement of the fact, that above 30,000 copies of the Cook's Oracle have been sold.

The purchasers will never find their property in this work destroyed by the publication of a second edition. The arrangement is such, that particular volumes may be re-edited or rewritten without disturbing the others. The "Cabinet Cyclopædia" will thus be in a state of continual renovation, keeping pace with the never-ceasing improvements in knowledge, drawing within its circle from year to year whatever is new, and casting off whatever is obsolete, so as to form a constantly modernised Cyclopædia. Such are a few of the advantages which the proprietors have to offer to the public, and which they pledge themselves to realise.

Treatises on subjects which are technical and professional will be adapted, not so much to those who desire to attain a practical proficiency, as to those who seek that portion of information respecting such matters which is generally expected from welleducated persons. An interest will be imparted to what is abstract by copious illustrations, and the sciences will be rendered attractive, by treating them with reference to the most familiar objects and occurrences.

The unwieldy bulk of Encyclopædias, not less than the abstruse discussions which they contain, has hitherto, consigned them to the library, as works of occasional reference. From its portable form and popular style, the present work will claim a place in the drawing-room and the boudoir.
