subject) sufficiently explain the nature of his very use- 

 ful and carefully compiled volume. 



The other, Calmet's Dictionary of the Bible, Abridged, 

 Modernized, and Re-edited, according to the most recent 

 Biblical Researches, by T. A. Buckley, B. A., is ad- 

 dressed to a wider class of readers, and in its prepara- 

 tion general utility has been the main object ; while 

 in the remodelling which tliis popular and useful work 

 of Calmet has here undergone, care has been taken to 

 purify it from the Rationalisin with which all the later 

 editions have been charged, and to supply its place by 

 such copious additions and alterations from the most 

 recent biblical researches, so as to make the present 

 edition rather a new book than a reprint of an old one; 

 and deserving of that extensive circulation which its 

 extremely moderate price is calculated to procure for it. 



The Principles of Chtmistri/ illustrated by Simple 

 Experiments, by Dr. J. A. Stijckharilt, Professor in the 

 Royal Academy of Agriculture at Tharaud, having 

 been extensively adopted as an introductory work in 

 the Schools of Germany, in consequence of its conve- 

 nient classificalion and its clear and concise elucidation 

 of principles, and explanation of chemical phenomena, 

 it was translated into English at tlie recommendation 

 of Professor Horsford ; and a reprint of it from the 

 American edition forms the new volume of Bolm's 

 Standard Library. It is illustrated with numerous 

 engravings, and as the necessary apparatus for perform- 

 ing most of the experiments in it is extremely small, 

 the book will no doubt soon become a popular one. 



The Chetham Library, Manchester, will shortly 

 receive a valuable addition to its literary treasures by 

 Mr. Halliwell's donation of his extensive collection of 

 Proclamations, Ballads, and Broadsides, which, we are 

 informed, extends to upwards of 2500 articles, including 

 many of great rarity, and a few proixibly uni(|ue. 

 Amongst the latter are two curious black-letter ballads, 

 printed in the year 1.570, unnoticed by all bibliogra- 

 phers, and not to be found in the useful arid interesting 

 Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company, 

 recently published by IMr. Collier ; but the greater 

 portion of the collection belongs to the latter half of 

 the seventeenth, and commencement of the eighteenth 

 century, most of the ballads being reprints of much 

 older copies. 



AVe are requested to remind such of our readers as 

 are members of the ."Vrchsological Institute that the 

 Salisbury volume will Ije ready nixt week.
