PATERNOSTER-ROW.

1. A WORK OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE.

On the 1st of April was published, handsomely printed in Quarto, on fine wove paper, embellished with Five Maps and Plates, Price 7s. Part I. of

A NEW and COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM of MODERN GEOGRAPHY, Mathematical, Physical, Political, and Commercial; being a perspicuous Delineation of the present State of the Globe, with its Inhabitants and Productions, preceded by the History of the Science, interspersed with Statistical and Synoptical Tables, and accompanied with a series of correct Maps, a great variety of appropriate Views, and numerous other Engravings, illustrating the Manners, Customs, and Costumes of Nations. By THOMAS MYERS, A. M. of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.

There has never, perhaps, been a period when it could be less necessary than at present, to enforce reasons for publishing a New System of Geography. The political events of the last six years have, in fact, rendered all existing geographical works, to a certain degree, obsolete. Within this period likewise, enterprizing travellers have spread in every direction, and communicated to the world the result of their observations. Many doubtful points of science have thus been established, many unexpected facts have been verified, the moral aspect of nations has been vividly pourtrayed, the changes in manners and customs, and in political influence, have been ascertained, venerable errors have been corrected, important truths elucidated, and, in short, the energies of unimpeded intellect have been applied to the survey of the world in such a way, as offers an ample share of novelty to the industrious Compiler of a Geographical System. While, therefore, the Man of Science, the Statesman, the Merchant, the Student, and the Traveller, will find all that is unquestionable in preceding works, they may expect to receive in this, the additional information which subsequent researches have supplied.

CONDITIONS.

1. This Work will be handsomely printed in Quarto, with a bold and elegant type, and on fine wove paper.

2. It will be published in Monthly Parts, price 7s. each, and completed in Twenty-four Parts, forming two very large and splendid volumes.

3. The Work will be accompanied with a valuable and correct set of Coloured Maps, including the whole of the latest arrangements and discoveries. 4. It will be illustrated with a great variety of Views, and other Engravings, representing the Manners, Customs, and Costumes of different Nations.

2. MAVOR'S HISTORY OF ALL NATIONS.

On the 1st of May was published, closely printed in Demy 18mo. embellished with an Historical Frontispiece, Price 4s. 6d. boards, or elegantly printed on fine Royal Paper, 6s. Volume I. of

UNIVERSAL HISTORY, Ancient and Modern, complete in 25 vols. published monthly; comprehending a General View of the Transactions of every Nation, Kingdom, and Empire in the World, from the earliest period to the present time: illustrated with a correct Set of Maps and numerous Engravings. By WILLIAM MAVOR, LL. D. &c. &c.

Upon the importance and utility of historical knowledge, it would be trivial to insist. It is by history alone that we know what have been the great events of preceding generations. There are few students, however, who have either the leisure or the means, to consult the voluminous works

New Books Published by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones.

which have appeared in this branch of literature. Hence the value of such a Collection as the present, which combines in one general series, an authentic history of every civilized country, both ancient and modern. To the youthful reader, in particular, it must prove eminently acceptable.

Such persons as prefer taking the work complete, without waiting for the Monthly Publication, may have it, in 25 vols. Price 5l. 12s. 6d. boards, or on fine Royal Paper, 77. 10s.

3. THE SPORTSMAN'S REPOSITORY, comprising a Series of highlyfinished Engravings, representing the Horse and the Dog, in all their varieties: exécuted in the Line Manner. By JOHN SCOTT, from original Paintings by MARSHALL, REINAGLE, GILPIN, STUBBS, and COOPER: accompanied with a comprehensive historical and systematic description of the diffe rent Species of each, their appropriate Uses, Management, and Improvement; interspersed with Anecdotes of the most celebrated Horses and Dogs, and their Proprietors; also, a variety of practical information on Training, and the Amusements of the Field. By the Author of " BRITISH FIELD Sports." N. B. This work, which is beautifully printed in Quarto, is embellished with Forty highly finished Copper-plate Engravings, and numerous Woodcuts. It may now be had complete, Price 3 Guineas, in boards; or, in Six Parts, at 10s. 6d. each.

4. MORRICE ON BREWING AND MALTING.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE on BREWING the various sorts of MALT LIQUOR; with Examples of each Species, and the mode of using the Ther mometer and Saccharometer; the whole forming a complete Guide in Brewing every Description of Ale and Beer.

By ALEXANDER MORRICE, Common Brewer. Sixth Edition; with the Laws (now first added) relating to Brewers and Maltsters, by JOHN WILLIAMS, Esq. In 8vo. 10s. 6d. boards.

5. POULTRY, PIGS, AND MILCH COWS.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Breeding, Rearing, and Fattening all kinds of Domestic Poultry, Pheasants, Pigeons, and Rabbits; including also an interesting Account of the Egyptian Method of hatching Eggs by artificial Heat, with some modern Experiments thereon: from Memoranda, made during Forty Years' Practice. By BONINGTON MOUBRAY, Esq. Third Edition; with Additions on Breeding, Feeding, and Managing Swine, and Milch Cows for the Family Dairy. Price 68. boards.

Mr. Moubray's little Book on the Breeding, Rearing, and Fattening, all kinds of Domestic Poultry, Pigs, &c. is unquestionably the most practical Work on those subjects, in our language. The Third Edition, just published, contains some valuable information relative to the management of Milch Cows. The Author's aim seems to have been, to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. A small poultry yard, two or three pigs, with a breeding sow, and a cow for milk, cream, butter, and cheese, in an English country-house are indispensible; and, to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expence, appears to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his Book, any Family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets; and the Farmer and Breeder may render it the means of additional profit.
