A MANUAL OF CLASSICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY; comprising 

 a copious detail of the various Editions, Translations into the En- 

 glish, French, Italian, Spanish, German, .and, occasionally, other Lan- 

 guages ; Commentaries, and Works, critical and illustrative, of the Greek 

 and Latin Classics. By J. W. Moss, B.A. of Magdalene Hall, Oxford, &c. 



The Author has inserted numerous Extracts, Colophons, and Anecdotes, which, while 

 they augment the utility of the Work, and assist the Collector in the recognition of 

 doubtful, and in the collation of early Editions, serve to enliven the tedium which the 

 endless and unavoidable sameness of Bibliographical detail excites, even in a Biblioma- 



^niac. The distinguishing characteristics of the various Aldine, Elzevir, and other 

 editions, which have been counterfeited, have been carefully and fully noted. The suras 

 produced at the sales of celebrated collections have been particularly specified ; nor have 



' the present prices been omitted ; which, though liable to fluctuation, will enable the 

 Collector to form a general notion of the value of the editions so priced. This Work 

 will render the acquisition of any other on the subject of Classical Biography, (as far a* 

 relates to the various Authors comprised in it,) unnecessary : it combines the advantages 

 of the • Bibliotheca Spenceriana,' and ' Introduction'-, of Dibdin, the ' Catalogues 

 Raissonnes' of De Bure, and the ' Manuel' of Brunet, &c. &c. ; and when it is known 

 that upwards of 3,000 volumes of Bibliographical and Critical Works, Keviews, &c. 



^(exclusive of the innumerable Editions, Translations, Commentaries, &c. described in 

 these volumes,) have been consulted ; notices have been extracted from, and references 

 made to, them ; the public will be enabled to estimate the no trivial labour bestowed 

 upon this Work. 



TALES BY THE O'HARA FAMILY : containing Crohoore of the 

 Bill-Hook, the Fetches, and John Doe, in 3 vols, small 8vo : 305. bds. 



" Since the first productions of the author of Waverly, we have seen nothing of the 

 kind that, in our judgement, equals tliese Tales. The writer, though no imitator of the 

 • Great Unknown,' is evidently of kindred genius. He is characterized by the same 

 vivid and picturesque descriptions of nature, tlie same close and powerful sketches of 

 character, the same skill in availing himself of local superstitions, tlie same locality of 

 •creating dramatic situations, and giving a dramatic character and interest to his narra- 

 tive." — MaiUhly Critical Gazette, June 1825. 



" Judging from the specimen before us, we should have little hesitation in predicting, 

 that Scotland's Great Unknown was likely to find in the Author of the Tales by the 

 O'Hara Family, a competitor, with whom he must stand the tug of r'weXry."— Monthly 

 Magaiine, No. 409. 



" We regard these Tales as one of the best national Novels which have appeared for 

 t considerable period." — A^ew Monthlu Mag. No. 53. — See also La Belle, No. 5.— Newt

COOKERY and CONFECTIONARY, by John Comrade Cooke: 

 AVi original' Work, comprising the varieties of English and Foreign 

 Practice, with H illustrative Engravings, 6*. bds: 7*. bound and lettered. 



" This work is, in every sense, calculated to obviate the general complaint of the 

 majority of our treatises on Cookery, viz. that after the novice has carefully weighed and 

 measured out his ingredients, in the mode and manner directed, he, at last, finds the 

 product at variance vrith the promise. Mr. Cooke has, however, not only specified the 

 measure and quantity of each article, but as far as it could be done with certainty, he has 

 given the requisite time for the cooking of each dish, whether plain or compounded. 

 ' This,' observes tlie Author, ' is altogether a novel feature;' and, as he is an eminent 

 professor of his art, his work is materially enhanced by his uniting elegance with every- 

 day practice and experience. In Conkectionary, Mr. Cooke displays twofold excellence 

 in illustrating his receipts in that department by a series of etchings of tasteful designs 

 in ornamental pastry, and drawings of confectionary implements."— A/ontA/y Critical 

 Gaxette, A])rU, 1825. 



" One great advantage peculiar to this important /ami/y manual is, that the weightt 



snd measures of the different articles are accurately defined, as well as tlie Time required 



for roasting, boiling, frying, &c. fish, flesh, and fowl, of all sorts and sizes, ytll the 



' jit.s have, we understand, been worked by the Author, who is well known at Bright- 



^tonc, as an accomplished professor of the very useful art upon which he hak 



-..tlcn."— yiwif'j 'I'elescojie fur 182.';'. 



" 'Jlie alliterating title of this volume may at first induce our readers to imagine it a 

 lutus of literature ; but wc can assure them it is, in every sense, a valuable practical 

 iiual, combining elegance with utility and occonomy. Mr. Cooke is, we understand, 

 jfeiisor of Gastronomy, who ranks high in his art, and who po.sscsses the advantage 

 M'crit'ncc, which is not the lot of a certain quackisli rival. He is, therefore, well 

 iTicd to produce a viduable book, in which he not only figures as author, but as 

 ,hl»fjinn of Revjral ta.ieful designs in ornntnental Pastry and Confectionery. We
