64 Notices respecting New Books. 
. Mr. C. Taylor has commenced the publication of ‘* Ee¥pr,” 
consisting of “a series of 100 engravings exhibiting the anti- 
qguities, architecture, inhabitants, costume, hyeroglyphics, ani- 
mals, scenery, &c. of that country, with accompanying descrip- 
tions and explanations in French and English. Selected from 
the celebrated work detailing the expedition of the French, by 
Baron Vivant Denon.” | 
The engravings are executed by Middiman, Cardon, Cooke, 
Roffe, &c. The work is to be comprised in twenty numbers, 
large folio, at five shillings each. Three numbers of this splendid 
and highly curious work have already appeared, and. their con- 
tents and execution cannot fail to obtain public approbation. 
To astronomers the curious planisphere in the Temple of Tentyris 
must he peculiarly interesting, as it proves ‘‘ that the Egyptians 
had a planetary system, and that their knowledge of the heavens 
was reduced to principles.” Egyptian locks, which fastened 
the gate of a town, the door of a house, or the smallest box or 
drawer, furnish specimens of these ancient people’s skill in me- 
chanics; while the portraits of the different. distinguished cha- 
racters which Denon had so good an opportunity of taking in 
Egypt, will amuse all persons of taste and inquiry respecting 
human character and physiognomy. 
A Chemical Chart or Table, exhibiting an elementary View 
- of Chemistry, intended for the Use of Students and young Prac- 
titioners in Physic; also to revive the Memory of more expe- 
rienced Persons ; adapted for hanging up in public and private 
Libraries. Dedicated, by Permission, to George Pearson, Esq. 
M.D. F.R.S. &c. &c. By Robert Crowe, Surgeon R.N. Price 
5s. 6d. Highley and Son. 1816. . 
Several attempts have been made to reduce a knowledge of 
the science of chemistry into a tabular form, but many disco- 
veries have been made, and the whole system considerably mo- 
dified, since their publication. Mr. Crowe, therefore, in availing 
himself of preceding works, arranging the subjects somewhat 
more simply, and including all the recent discoveries, has con- 
tributed to facilitate the acquisition and recollection of this most 
interesting science. He divides his Chart into three sections : 
the first describes the earths and metals; the second treats of 
simple or undecompounded substances; and the third, of com- 
pound combustibles, In a distinct compartment the author has 
arranged a very distinct view of the minerals, vegetable and 
animal acids, which will be found very convenient for common 
reference. ,
