THE FOLLOWING ARE TUBLISHED BY 



C. AND J. RIVINGTON, 



sr. haul's church-yard, and waterloo-place, tall-mall. 



I. 



THE ANNUAL REGISTER, for the Year 1823, in one 



large Volume, Octavo, price 18s. in boards. 



*** The Volumes for 1820, (commencing with his present Majesty's Reign), 

 1821, and 1822, have been lately published, price IBs. each. 



If the early appearance of this Work were the principal object to be con- 

 sulted, it would be as easy to bring it out in June as in December. But such 

 a. plan could not be adopted without sacrificing almost every thing that could 

 distinguish the Work from being a mere abstract of the last Year's file of 

 Newspapers. The Editor has to record events, the knowledge of which, from 

 the mere distance of the regions in which they take place, cannot reach 

 Europe for some months after their occurrence. It should be remembered, 

 that the business of an Annual Register is not like that of a daily News- 

 paper, to tell us what is passing, but what has passed. In the one case 

 delay may be inconvenient ; in the other, a certain interval is in some 

 measure indispensable, for the accomplishment of the proper object of the 

 work. 



*#* Rivingtons have just completed the former Series, in coniimiation of 

 Dodslei/s, from 1791 to 1811, inclusive. The Volume for 1812 is in the 

 Press, and the remainder will appear with as little delay as possible.
