474 
and the other two, to explain the principles 
of home and foreign commerce. To be 
delivered by Mr. Macculloch, on Monday, 
May 30; Wednesday, June Ist; and Fri- 
day, June 3d, at the London Coffee-house, 
Ludgate-hill, at Eight o’clock in the eve- 
ning.’’ ‘Too much praise cannot be given 
to Mr. Macculloch for his liberality in this 
offer of voluntary assistance to the further- 
ance of so useful an undertaking. The 
first lecture will have been delivered before 
the publication of this intimation ; but too 
late for the possibility of our noticing it in 
our present number. We shall endeavour 
to do justice to all three in our next. 
A duodecimo edition of Dr. Robertson’s 
History of Scotland has lately appeared, 
neatly printed in three volumes, with beau- 
tiful vignette cuts in the title-pages of the 
respective volumes ; to which is prefixed a 
well-written sketch ‘of the life of the author, 
from the pen of R. A. Davenport, Esq. 
Such editions of standard instructive works, 
to meet the growing desire for information 
in the secondary classes of society, cannot 
be too much commended or encouraged. 
Mr. Davenport has also obliged the lovers 
of curious literature with a new edition of 
Sale’s Alcoran of Mohammed, in two yo- 
lumes octavo, with explanatory notes, from 
the most approved commentators, a pre- 
liminary discourse, a memoir of the transla- 
tor, and various readings and additional 
illustrative notes from Sayary’s version of 
the Koran. The trade, as it is technically 
called,.is printing, we are told, another edi- 
tion; but that we understand is a mere 
reprint of the old impression. We shall 
pay proper attention to Mr. Davenport’s 
publication in our next review; it came 
to hand too late for commentary in the pre- 
sent number. 
Harding’s Universal Stenography; or 
a new, easy, and practical system of Short- 
Hand, upon the principles of the late 
ingenious Mr. Samuel Taylor, &c., has 
lately fallen into our hands. It seems 
well calculated for the purposes for which 
it is professedly designed, ‘the use of 
schools, and private tuition.”” It has the 
merit of lying in a smaller compass than 
any publication of the sort we have seen.
