Dr. Granville has in the press, and nearly ready for publica- 
tion, A Translation of that Part of Orfila’s general Toxicology,

been enabled to accompany his translation with copious notes 
and additions. 
The original has only been before the public a few days, and 
is not yet in general circulation. 
Origin of Nations.—In February. 1816 will be published, 
A Map of Scriptural and Classival Geography ; accompanied by 
an Historical and Descriptive Volume, in demy octavo; wherein 
the Origin of Nations is particularly examined and discussed ; 
with reference to the numerous Authorities: amongst which 
Herodotus, Hesiod, Strabo, Pliny, Diodorus Siculus, Cluverius, 
Ptolomy, Mela, Bochart, &c. have been expressly consulted. 
The whole is intended to facilitate a knowledge of the progres« 
sive Colonization of the Earth; and to establish, more clearly, 
the Foundation of Universal and Chorographical History: and 
also to combine a requisite appendage to every volume of the 
Ancient Classics, with an indispensable Auxiliary to the Sacred 
Memoirs of the Holy Scriptures. By T. Hemme, ef Magdalene

The size of the Map will be three feet two inches, by two feet 
one inch; including, in longitude, from the Meridian of London 
to the Eastern Boundary of Persia; and in latitude, from the 
Northern Coast of Africa to the Southern Shores of the Baltie and 
Middle Regions of Russia, which contains all that is essentially 
necessary to illustrate a Course of History from the first colonial 
migrations of mankind, to the overthrow of the Roman Empire, 
on a scale of three quarters of an inch to a degree. 
The projection of the Map is the globular, which best pre- 
serves the proportion of the different countries ; and it was care- 
fully divided into half degrees throughout, in order to lay down 
the coasts, rivers, mountains, &c. the more accurately, and to 
have the basis of the work correspond to the best eorrected to- 
pography of the present time. 
The Map will be published by W, Phillips, George-Yard, 
Lombard-Street.—Price, including the Historical and Descrip- 
tive Volume, One Guinea, to be paid on delivery,
