 synopsis of the systems, published from the time of Willughby 

 to the present day ; and intended to form a complete guide

Also in preparation, by the same author, Sketches in Bri- 

 tish Ornithology; being a work on the smaller British birds, 

 and intended as a plan for a complete work on British Orni- 

 thology. The author will be much obliged to any one who 

 will communicate to him any facts or anecdotes on any of the 

 species. Communications on the larger birds will also be 

 acceptable, and would, of course, be duly acknowledged. 

 These would appear in an appendix, which will contain mis- 

 cellaneous notes on the habits of British birds. All commu- 

 nications to be addressed to the author, at Foston Hall, near 

 Derby. — September 20. 1836. 



Of the Parent's Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction the 

 36th number has been recently published. In it is a notice 

 that the work will be discontinued for the present. Enough 

 of subjects in natural history are treated of in the work, and 

 are treated of sufficiently well, to render it worth the attention 

 of those who would promote in their children a tendency 

 towards an affection for natural history.
