LITERARY NOTICES. 6*85 



The MAP OP LONDON is, without exception, one of the most splenidicl 

 works of the kind we have ever seen. How the proprietors of the 

 United Kingdom can possibly afford to present it to their subscribers 

 gratis, is one of those mysteries which we cannot possibly understand. 

 A subscription of three months can scarcely pay for the Map alone. 



A most interesting work, ROSCOE'S NOVELIST'S LIBRARY, illustrated 

 by GEORGE CRUICKSHANKS, and with imaginary portraits by MEADOWS,

 novels of the old masters, and this edition it is impossible to surpass. 

 DON QUIXOTE and GIL BLAS are the first for publication.

The citizens are about to be astonished by a history of themselves, 

 entitled " THE CHARTERED HISTORY OF THE TWELVE GREAT LIVERY

 Mayor's show. The last work published under the express patronage 

 of the city was my Lord Venables' celebrated excursion to Oxford, 

 rendered immortal by the pen of the Chaplain.
