 with a map of the department from surveys executed by order of govern- 

 ment. Every care seems to have been taken to complete a work which 

 will leave very little to be desired in point of geographical information on 

 the kingdom of Wurtemberg.

Geological Map of the north-west of Germany, composed of 

 24 sheets. By Mr. Fr. Hoffjian, Berlin, 1829.— 200/ra«c*. 



Professor Hoffinan has proposed to himself, in this map, to represent the 

 local departition and the connexion of the rocks which cover the surface of 

 the noith-west of Germany, and to give precise notions of the mineral 

 riches of the country which it represents. 



This map is also to serve as a basis to a geographical acquaintance with 

 the country, the conformation of the land, the nature of the soil, and cl}- 

 material relations which depend on these. The facts collected by this na-
