The possession of such knowledge will necessarily teach them how to improve their methods of cultivation, and lead them to the discovery of new and better modes.

A long and valuable appendix is added to the work, being a copious table of expenses in all departments of farming, and forming a complete guide for the inexperienced gentleman-farmer or proprietor, in his dealings and doings, who, with this book in his hand, may, however extensive his estate, dispense with that often costly appendage, a Scotch steward, and, even if himself a cultivator of the soil, may gain a degree and kind of knowledge certain to be serviceable to him in more ways than one."-GARDENERS' CHRONICLE

"This is one of the happiest productions of its distinguished author. It has seldom happened that the career of a great man has been described with a sympathy at once so warm and discriminating. The narrative is brief, easy, and graceful, and omits nothing calculated to convey a vivid image of Sir Thomas More as he was both in public and private. The impression of the story is quite unique; its moral lesson worth a thousand homilies. The biography, in its present beautiful form, is in every sense a gem of the purest water."-MORNING CHRONICLE.

M'CULLOCH. —A DICTIONARY, PRACTICAL, THEORETI

CAL, AND HISTORICAL, OF COMMERCE AND COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION. Illustrated with Maps and Plans. By J. R. M'CULLOCH, Esq. Member of the Institute of France. Au entirely New Edition, corrected throughout, enlarged, and improved. 1 very thick vol. 8vo. 50s. cloth; or 55s. strongly half-bound in russia, with flexible back.

"Without exaggeration one of the most wonderful compilations of the age. The power of continuous labour, the wide range of inquiry, and the power of artistical finish, which have been brought into play by this work, are probably unrivalled in the history of literature.....Compared with all previous attempts to compile a commercial dictionary, Mr. M'Culloch's appears as the realisation of an idea which former projectors had conceived too vaguely to be able to carry into execution. It is superior to them all, quite as much for the spirit of judicious selection brought by the author to his task, as for any other quality. The great merit of the work is, that, while omitting nothing of essential importance, it contains nothing that is useless or merely cumbrous.....The success of the earlier editions of Mr. M'Culloch's Dictionary is, after all, the best proof of its merit: the facts attending it, prove that the mercantile, political, and literary public were in want of such a work, and that they were satisfied with the manner in which Mr. M'Culloch had performed his task. No reader can rise from the perusal of any one of the larger articles without feeling that no previous writer has concentrated so much valuable information within so small a compass, or conveyed his information in so agreeable a style. And the remark is equally applicable to all the numerous articles of which this crammed volume is composed..... It is, indeed, invaluable as a book of reference to the merchant, the insurance-agent, the statesman, and the journalist; and its articles, from the care and talent with which they are executed, are as well calculated to supply the wants of the patient inquirer as of the hurried man of business. Mr. M'Culloch occupies a high place amongst the authors of the day as a hard-headed original thinker in political economy; a still higher, as one of the most zealous and successful labourers in rendering that science popular; but, of all his publications, his Commercial Dictionary is the one least likely to encounter the rivalry of a work of superior or even equal value."-Abridged from THE SPECTATOR of March 16, 1844.

M'CULLOCH.-A DICTIONARY, GEOGRAPHICAL, STATIS

TICAL, AND HISTORICAL, of the various Countries, Places, and Principal Natural Objects in the WORLD. By J. R. M'CULLOCH, Esq. 2 thick vols. 8vo. illustrated with Six Large important Maps, 4. cloth.

"The extent of information this Dictionary affords on the subjects referred to in its title is truly surprising. It cannot fail to prove a vade-mecum to the student, whose inquiries will be guided by its light, and satisfied by its clear and frequently elaborated communications. Every public room in which commerce, politics, or literature, forms the subject of discussion, ought to be furnished with these volumes."-GLOBE.

"An encyclopædia of history in miniature-some hundreds of volumes compressed into one. The author first gives a general sketch of ancient and modern history-a sort of explanatory chart by which we perceive the relations of one state and empire to another, and mark how their boundaries advance or recede, fluctuate or become defined; and then furnishes a neat and concise digest of the history of each kingdom or division of the world. The book is an universal storehouse of historical facts, classified, chronologically arranged, linked by succinct narrative, and brought down to the present times. To the historical student, and to all general readers, the work is invaluable for constant reference, if only for its copious and minutely-accurate dates; and it must form an indispensable complement to all libraries."-BRITANNIA.
