possible cost.” These 4to. plates are offered at the low price 
of ten for a rupee. It is no small merit of this work, that 
the labour of printing the greater proportion of these plates 
has been undertaken by Dr Wight himself. These plates 
are really excellent; especially those of the later numbers. 
No 5 is the last which we have received. Pages of letter-

convenience of reference. We heartily wish Dr Wight 
health and long life, and such abundant success as that he 
may see his important labours brought to a satisfactory con- 
clusion.

thelot. That work is rapidly progressing, and it has reached 
the 45th Livraison. The beautiful atlas on the Geographie

Will bring this splendid and useful book to a conclusion, a 
book worthy of ranking with the most*philosophical and 
Most scientific publications of the age; and of which the -
