THE PENNY CYCLOPEDIA 



OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE 



IS NOW COMPLETED, 



IN TWENTY-SEVEN VOLUMES, EXTENDING TO FOURTEEN THOUSAND PAGES, 



PRICE TEN POUNDS IN CLOTH BOARDS; 



In Half-morocco or Russia, gilt tops or marbled edges, Lettered Contents, 13/. 105.; and in 14 Volumes, Half-Russia, 12/. l2*r 



The Name of the Penny Cyclopaedia was derived from its 

 original issue in a weekly sheet, when a work of much less mag- 

 nitude was contemplated. From its commencement it has been 

 supported by a great body of Contributors, eminent In their 

 respective departments; and its articles, in many of the great 

 branches of knowledge, are regarded as authorities, and have 

 acquired celebrity wherever the English language is read. The 

 character of the work has gradually, therefore, surmounted 

 the prejudices which were excited in some quarters by its 

 title ; and the word Pexny is now received as indicative 

 only of its extreme cheapness. Every article in the work 

 is an original contribution, paid for at a rate to secure, as 

 far as payment is concerned, the highest talent and know- 

 ledge, not only of this country, but of foreign states. The 



literary expenditure alone upon each Volume has exceeded 

 1200/., making a total of 33,000/. In addition, the Work is 

 fully illustrated with Woodcuts, the cost of which has amounted 

 to more than 8000/.; making a total cost, for Literature and 

 Art, of more than Forty Thousand Polwds. The Pkxxy 

 Cyclopjedia. may, therefore, as a standard work, enter into 

 competition, in the great essentials of fulness and accuracy, 

 with any existing Cyclopaedia, whatever may be its selling price. 

 It is especially valuable as a work of reference, as all the Arts 

 and Sciences are to be found according to their subdivisions in 

 the alphabetical arrangement, and yet the subjects are so treated 

 that the general principles and facta involved in each article may 

 be traced in connexion witli other cognate articles. 

 *** A list of the Contributors is given in the last Volume.

 Extract from the Report of the Directors of the Society, to a Ge-

 " At the end of the six years which have been completed since 

 the 31st of December, 1837, there are in existence in the Society 

 three times as many polices as there were in existence at the 

 end of the year 183". The capital sums assured under these 

 policies are nearly doubled in amount. The corresponding income 

 derived from annual premiums is also nearly doubled The ac- 

 cumulated property of the Society is four times as great as it was 

 at the end of that year, and the present divisible surplus is nearly 

 six times as much as that declared in the division of the year 183"." 

 The Directors invite the public to compare the following Table

Xctos of tljc fcsaedt. 



The subject of duelling has been again brought pro- 

 minently before the public by the debates in the House of 

 Commons oa Monday and Thursday night. The discussion 

 of Monday aroie upon Captain Bernal's motion for the 

 correspondence which had passed respecting the with- 

 drawal of the usual pension from the widow of Colonel 

 Fawcett. The attention of the House, however, was by 

 no means confined to the case of the iate duel. Sir H 

 Hardingeiu justifying the withholding of the pension, en- 

 tered at some length into the general question, and stated 

 that various alterations have been made, by her Majesty's 

 sanction, in the Articles of War relating to duelling. 

 These alterations are to take effect during the present 

 year, and are expected materially to discourage this prac- 

 tice in the army, but Sir H. Hardinge refused to be -
