NOTICES OF INSTITUTION LECTURES. 



During the year 1834, four courses of Lectures have been delivered in 

 the theatre of the Bristol Institution. 



1. In the month of January, eight Lectures upon Elocution, by Mr. 

 Thelwallj and subsequently three supplementary Lectures. These lec- 

 tures were attended by a very large number of persons, being deservedly 

 popular. They formed the last complete course ever delivered by Mr. 

 Thelwall, who died suddenly, at Bath, shortly after their conclusion. 



2. In the month of March, three Lectures upon Egyptian Mummies, 

 Egyptian Antiquities, Hieroglyphics and the Rosetta Stone, were delivered 

 by Dr. Prichard and i\Ir. Clark. These lectures were delivered at the 

 request of the Institution, Mr. Garrard, the chamberlain, having liberally 

 presented two mummies. 



3. In April, Mr. S.Worsley delivered a course of ten Lectures on Geology, 

 which were justly and universally popular, being clearly and concisely ar- 

 ranged, and well delivered ; they were illustrated by a very large number 

 of drawings and specimens. Both these and the last course were delivered 

 for the benefit of the Institution. 



4. In November, a course of ten Lectures on Chemistry was delivered 

 by Mr. R. Addaras, whose abilities as a lecturer, and success as an ex- 

 perimenter, have long been known and appreciated in this city. 



Upon the books of the Institution, are notices of three courses of Lec- 

 tures for the present year. 



1. Upon the Oxy-Hydr(^en Microscope, by Mr. W. West, of the Ob- 

 servatory, Clifton. 



2. Upon the Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of the organs of the 

 Senses, by Mr. Clark. 



3. Upon the Bone Caves of England and the Continent, by Rev. D. 

 Williams, of Bleadon. 



[In April will be published, No. It. of this Journal, -which will contain continua- 

 tions of the Geological, Zoological, Classical and Ethnographical articles of the 

 present number, and many new articles ; among which will be the first part of 

 an Essay on Caerphilly Castle, containing a more ample account than any pre- 

 viously published of the mUitary construction of that ancient fortress, illustrated 

 by plans and sections. — Ed.]
