a simultaneous increase in our own 

 sale ; but we arc not willing, like 

 these Chevaliers d'liuhtstrie, to spend 

 5 or £600 in a single month in adver- 

 tisements, while wo charge our mis- 

 cellany only at 2*. Our readers, 

 spread over the civilized world, will, 

 we trust, iniitc their voices in sparing 

 us this expencc, for which, if incurred, 

 they must ultimately jiay. The author 

 of these advertisements boasts of his 

 connexion with men of genius, and 



oriental scholar by his Persian Antho- 

 logy, &c. under the assumed name of 

 Gulchin. 



In a few days will be published, 

 the Elements of Anglo-Saxon Gram- 

 mar, with copious notes, illustrating 

 the structuro of the Saxon, and the 

 forn»ation of the Knglish language ; 

 and a Grammatical Praxis, with a 

 literal English version. Tlie history, 

 use, and other particulars, of the 

 Saxon tongue, arc prefixed ; togelher 



so might tiie keeper of the House of with an introduction on the origin and 



Correction at Brixton, and of every 

 supcrintendant of a tread-mill: for 

 none but geniuses of that stamp would 

 be a party in his fraud, and engage 

 themselves at a price per sheet to do 

 liis dirty work. We have, perhaps, 

 said more than this thing deserves, but 

 not more than the affair warrants; and 

 we submit the result to the moral dis- 

 crimination of the public. 



Mr, ScoRESBY, who is already 

 favourably known to the public, by 

 Jiis Description of the Arctic Regions, 

 and by various scientific papers in the 

 Transactions of Learned Societies, has 

 jiow in the press an Account of his 

 Voyage to Greenland in the summer 

 of 1822. In the course of this voyage 

 he explored the Eastern Coast of

 plified by engravings of inscriptions, 

 fac-similes of manuscripts, &c. By 

 the Rev. J. Bosworth, M.A. and 

 vicar of Harwood I'arva, Bucks.

 art, Esq. will shortly be published. 



A new Poem, entitled A Sabbath 

 among the Mountains, is nearly ready 

 for publicalion. 



Britain has become the focus of the 

 mechanic arts, and all nations seek 

 among us the machinery necessary 

 to carry on their various manufacto- 

 ries. At the same time, no trade in 



West Greenland, to tho extent of England is more scattered, and less 



between 700 and 80O geographical 

 miles, the greater part of which may 

 be considered as original discovery. 

 He has constructed a chart, founded 

 on about .500 angles or bearings, taken 

 at 50 diiltrent stations, most of which 

 were determined by astronomical ob- 

 servations. This, we understand, is to 



accessible, than that of a practical ma- 

 chinist. It gratifies ns, therefore, to 

 learn that Sir. Alex. Gallowav, long 

 known as one of the most ingenious of 

 this important craft, has established a 

 public machine and engine manufac- 

 tory, in West Street, West Smithfield, 

 London, where the extent of his pre-

of tliat remote and all-bnt-inacccssiblc 

 region. The fate of the lost Colony, 

 said to have been established in West 

 Greeuhind in the beginning of the 

 loth century, has long excited great 

 interest. There is reason to think, that 



in the several branches of his profes-
