Shortly will be published, Illustra-

the Meatus, or Tympanum, accompa- 
nied with diminution of hearing. By

of the University of Glasgow. 
In the ensuing month, Mr. G. Carry 
will publish a new edition of “ Every 
Man his own Stock-Broker,” consider- 
ably enlarged, including the Foreign 
Funds as well as our own. 
The Rev. W. Eastmeap has nearly 
ready for publication, a Memoir of the 
Hyzena’s Den, lately discovered at Kirk- 
dale, near Kirby-Moorside; with a His- 
tory of the latter place, and its vicinity, 
to the distance of fifteen miles. 
A Journal of the Sieges of the Ma- 
dras Army, in the years 1817, 1818, 
and 1819, is rearly ready for publica- 
tion, with Observations on the System, 
according to which such Operations have 
usually been conducted in-India, and a 
statement of the improvement that 
appear necessary. By Epwarp Lakxz, 
Ensign in the {Company’s Madras En- 
gineers; accompanied by an Atlas of 
Explanatory Plates. 
Karly in the ensuing winter will be 
published, A Description of the Island

Remarks on the Cape de Verd Islands ; 
and a Description of English Settle- 
ments on the River Gambia. By Mrs.

A very imperfect work on Bibliogra- 
phy having appeared within the month, 
whose chief object is to recommend ob- 
solete and black-letter books, the public 
are advised that a full and perfect Cata- 
logue Raisonnée of English Literature, 
ora guide to students and libraries in 
the purchase of the best books, which 
has long been in preparation, will be 
published in the ensuing winter, at a 
very moderate price. 
We have heard and seen much of the 
legends and popular superstitions of 
THE NoRTH, but in truth, all the ex- 
hibitions of these subjects which have 
hitherto appeared in England, have been 
translations from the German. Mr. 
Oxaus Borrow, who is familiar with the 
Northern Languages, proposes, how- 
Literary and Miscellaneous Intelligence. 
{Serr I, 
ever, to present these curious reliques 
of romantic antiquity directly from the 
Danish and Swedish; and two elegant 
volumes of them, now printing, will 
appear in September, They are highly 
interesting in themselves, but more so, 
as the basis of most of the popular 
superstitions of England when_ they 
were introduced during the incursions 
and dominion of the Danes and Nor- 
wegians. 
Among the works nearly ready for 
publication, which were destroyed by 
the late fire at Moyes’s printing-office 
in Greville-street, were Mr. Brirron’s* 
“ History and Antiquities of Bath Abbey 
Church,” and the third volume of his 
“ Beauties of Wiltshire.” A part of 
‘the Manuscripts for the concluding 
sheets, appendix, &c., was also destroyed ; 
together with Mr.C. Dispin’s account 
of the English Opera- House and Davis’s 
Royal Amphitheatre, intended for inser- 
tion in the “ Illustrations of the Public 
Buildings of London.” Through this 
unforeseen accident the appearance of 
both the “ Bath Abbey,” and the “ His- 
tory of Wiltshire,” will necessarily 
be retarded for three or four months. 
Mr. Brirron is now at Peterborough, 
preparing drawings, &c., of the minster 
in that city for the “Cathedral Anti- 
quities of England.” His loss by the 
fire at Mr. Moyes’s is very consider- 
able, and the announcement of the true 
cause of the delay in publishing, may 
be satisfactory to his subscribers. 
Dr. Uwins is preparing a Compen- 
dium of Medical Theory and Practice, 
founded on Dr. Cullen’s Nosology, which 
will be given as a Text Book, and a 
translation annexed. To which will be 
prefixed, a brief Dissertation ‘on the 
nature and objects of Nosology; with 
a succinct account of the treatment of 
each disorder, an estimate of modern 
improvements in pathology, and an enu- 
meration of the best authors for the 
student of medicine to consult. 
Mr. E. A. Crovucn is about to publish 
Illustrations of Conchology, according 
to the system of Lamarck, in a series 
of Twenty Engravings, on royal 4to., 
each plate containing many specimens. , 
The new volume of the Annual Bio- 
graphy and Obituary (the ninth) is in 
preparation, and the friends of those 
eminent persons whose decease has oc- 
curred in the present year, are request- 
ed to forward communications without 
delay. .
