Bow es, will appear ina few days. 
Mr. O’Meara, the British surgeon 
of Napoleon. at St. Helena, to whom 
that great man made many interesting 
and important eommunpications, \an- 
nounces a work called Napoleon in 
Eile. It was mentioned in our last, 
but without the name of the author, a 
feature which specially entitles it to 
the respect and attention of the world, 
and renders it a document for history. 
Weare heartily glad the subject has 
fallen into such able and honest hands, 
though the prejudices artfully created 
on this subject are daily wearing away, 
and nothing but disgrace and repen- 
tance await those who sacrificed the 
peace of Europe and the welfare of 
Britain to their bad passions. 
That deservedly popular work, Na- 
ture. Displayed, by the Abbé Pluche, 
having long been out of print, and 
its information being superseded by 
modern discoveries in every branch 
of science, a new work, under the 
same title, and having the same ob- 
jects, is now preparing by Mr. Bar- 
ROW, author of several works of edu- 
cation... Like the original, it will be 
enriched with numerous engravings, 
and be in all respects a popular and 
interesting work for the old and young. 
It may be expected in October. 
A new Society is about to be formed 
under highly auspicious circumstances, © 
for the encouragement and promotion 
of the study of ENtomoLocy. Em- 
bracing upwards of one-half of the 
organized beings which clothe and 
animate the earth, comprising the most 
varied, and frequently the most beau- 
tiful forms of the animal creation, and 
rendered still more interesting by the 
singular, the important, and the in- 
structive habits of many of them,— 
this pleasing and useful department of 
natural history seents fully sufficient 
to otcupy the undivided attention of 
one Society, instead of losing the im- 
portance it justly merits by being spa- 
ringly diffused among an immense 
mass of other matter,—highly valuable, 
undoubtedly, in itself, but which, from 
that very value, and the extent of the 
subjects it includes, condemns of ne- 
cessity the entomologist to utter exclu- 
sion, or, at most to an admission so 
partial and so uncertain, as to be 
nearly ‘useless... The high rank in this, 
as in other branches of natural history, 
assumed by our neighbours,—who, as 
though Britain possessed no native ta- 
Literary.and Philosophical Intelligence. 
[July f, 
lent equal to the task, are daily de~ 
scribing from our cabinets, their new, 
their rare, and their interesting con- 
tents,—arises principally from the en- 
couragement afforded to their cultiva- 
tion, and from those frequent and im~- 
portant opportunities for mutual in- 
formation and assistance, which result. 
from their numerous sccieties and un- 
reserved intercourse. 
Mr. Lowe’s volume on the Statistics

finance, with a comparison of the

Mr. Gipzon MANTELL, F.L.S,. mem-

a Description of the Strata and Orga- 
nic Remains of Tilgate Forest, with 
observations on the beds of limestone 
and clay which alternate in the iron- 
sand of Sussex. This work will be 
embellished with numerous engravings 
of the extraordinary fossils discovered 
by the author in those remarkable 
strata, and will contain an account of 
the geological relations of the limestone 
of Winchelsea, Hastings, Battel, Hor- 
sham, &c. Itis intended as an ap- 
pendix to the ‘‘ Illustrations of the 
Geology of Sussex,” which we noticed 
in our last Number.
