MacLeay's Horce Entomologicce. — Percy Anecdotes. 309 



A portion of the following Entomological work is ready for 

 publication : 



Horce EniomologiccR : or, Essays on the Annulose Animals : by 



W. S.Macleay, Esq. A.m. of Trinity College, Cambridge. 

 Vol. I. Part I. containing general Observations on the Geography, 

 Manners, and Natural Affinities of the Insects which compose the 

 Genus Scarabceiis of Linnaeus; to which are added a few incidental 

 Remarks on the Genera L2ica?ms and Hister of the same author. 



A most entertaining work is now in the press, consisting of a 

 valuable series of Anecdotes collected and arranged under sepa- 

 rate heads, by Sholto and Reuben Percy, brothers of the Bene- 

 dictine Monastery, Mont Benger. The collection is, we under- 

 stand, the fruit of much curious reading during many years of 

 monastic seclusion ; and, while it embraces a vast fund of entirely 

 original matter, will omit nothing particularly worthy of preserva- 

 tion in the anecdotal treasures either ofancientor of modern times. 

 The first four parts will consist of Anecdotes of Humanity, embel- 

 lished with a portrait of William WilberforCfe, Esq. M.P.; Anec- 

 dotes of Eloquence, with a portrait of Lord Erskinej Anecdotes 

 of Enterprise, with a portrait of the lamented Mungo Park; and 

 Anecdotes of Youth, with a portrait of Robert Charles Dallas, 

 son of Sir George Dallas. These will be followed by Anecdotes of 

 Science, of Genius, of Liberty, of Heroism, &c.

 Ire de I'Institut. 2 vols. 8vo. 

 [From the French of M. Ch. Dupin, in Revue Encydopedique. 



Count Chaptal, after being ten years engaged in the internal 

 administration of France, in protecting the arts, sciences and 

 letters, bv creating for French industry establishments and insti- 

 tutions whose utility has saved them from subversion, now pre- 

 sents the world with the existing picture of that industry to the 

 prosperity of which he has so highly contributed. The execution 

 of such a task could have devolved on no person with more pro- 

 priety. 



The work is divided into four parts ; which treat of commerce, 

 of agricultural industry, of manufacturing industry, and of the 

 administration of industry. 



The part which partakes most of that sort of talent and in- 

 formation peculiar to M. Chaptal, is that which relates to manu- 

 facturing industry. 



France has witiiin the last forty vcars, by the aid of science, 

 and impelled by the spur of necessity, made vast strides in this 

 department. It now enjoys, the fruits of the many and great
