BRITISH GALLERY OF CONTEMPORARY PORTRAITS. 



This work will gradually form a series of PORTRAITS of the most emi- 

 nent persons now living, or lately deceased, in Great Britain and Ireland ; 

 including the most distinguished characters in the senate, the church, the 

 navy and army, the learned professions, and the various departments of li- 

 terature, science, and art ; those who have most zealously exerted themselves 

 in promoting the arts, agriculture, and commerce of the country; or, by 

 their example or patronage, have most conspicuously contributed to its ge- 

 neral prosperity and happiness ; the portraits elegantly and accurately drawn, 

 in an uniform manner, from life, or fronj the most approved original pic- 

 tures ; and the engravings (executed in a style best suited to portrait) perfect 

 fac-similes of the drawings. 



A number is published every two months, containing six portraits, each 

 accompamVd by a short biographical notice, price ll. 5s. Proof impressions, 

 in a superior manner, on large paper, price ll. 16s. And the copies are de- 

 livered according to the dates of orders received. ' 



** A few of each portrait are taken off for separate sale, price 5s. Proof 

 impressions, 7&. 6d. 



An extensive preface is contained in the first number ; and t^^gs^together 

 with general lists of the portraits contained in the work, will begivtjfc^re- 

 after ; but both the portraits and the biographical notices are left unnumbtfv^ 

 ed, in order that each subscriber may form his own arrangement of them. A 

 list of the subscribers will be printed. 



FORSYTES EXCURSION IN ITALY. 



REMARKS on ANTIQUITIES, ARTS, and LETTERS, during an Ex- 

 cursion in Italy in the Years 1802 and 1803. By JOSEPH FoRSYTH, 

 Esq. in one volume 8vo. price 12s. in boards. Just published. 



A NEW MODERN ATLAS, BY JOHN PINKERTON. 



The Maps are engraved in the size called Colombier, so as to correspond 

 with the vvorks of D'ANVILLE, from drawings executed under Mr PINKER- 

 TON'S direction ; with all the advantages afforded by the latest improve- 

 ments in geographical precision ; and exhibiting the utmost beauty that the 

 state of the arts can admit. 



It is calculated that the work will be completed in twenty numbers, (fif- 

 teen of which are now published,) each containing three maps, price One 

 Guinea; and as the style of engraving renders first impressions desirable, 

 they are carefully delivered according to the dates of orders. 



Copies of each number 1 are neatly put together, with the maps carefully 

 folded upon guards, (as they will be bound when the work is completed,) for 

 more safe conveyance to the country ; whilst other copies are delivered with- 

 out any fold, to those who prefer them in that state. 



In the last number will be given a geographical memoir, reciting the cha- 

 racter and merits of the chief authorities upon which each map has been 

 constructed, with directions for a general arrangement.
