because he can only have been prompted to do so by a wish to diffuse a know- 

 ledge of the subject of which it treats. We are happy to find, from a notice 

 to subscribers, that Nos. 10. and 11. will contain many additional sheets of 

 letterpress, without extra charge, and that No. 11. will complete the work. 



Architectura Domestica. By A. de Chateauneuf. Imp. 4to, 18 plates. Lon- 

 don, 1839. 



A very elegant work, containing two designs for gardeners' cottages, and 

 several for small villas ; but the principal designs are for town houses. Those 

 who are in possession of our Architectural Magazine will have learned there 

 that M. Chateauneuf is a native of Hamburg, where he is one of the prin- 

 cipal architects ; and that he has been distinguished as the author of a very 

 beautiful design for a town-hall for that city. He has also very recently 

 received the second premium for a design for rebuilding the London Royal 

 Exchange. The Swiss cottage at Cheshunt, the romantic, solitary, and almost 

 undiscoverable retreat of H. B. Ker, Esq., which we intend soon to describe 

 and illustrate, received some very picturesque and characteristic additions 

 under M. de Chateauneuf 's care when in England, in the spring of 1838. 

 The Architectura Domestica will be found chiefly useful to town architects, and 

 to these it presents some very beautiful elevations, and in what may be called 

 the Berlin school. 



The Engineer and Surveyor's Magazine, Railway Journal, and Monthly Register 

 of Practical Science. No. I. for October, 1839. 4to, pp. 24, with one 

 lithographic plate, and several engravings on wood. Is. 



The first number of this new periodical promises well. In p. 8. there is an 

 interesting article on topographical drawing, well worthy the study of the 

 young gardener. 



The Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal, Scientific and Railway Magazine. 

 No. XXV. for October, 1839. 4to, with numerous engravings. Is. 6d. 



We introduce the title of this work chiefly for the sake of stating to our 

 readers that, though the Engineer and Surveyor's Guide may seem to interfere 

 with it, yet that the two publications are very different, the Civil Engineer and 

 Architect's Journal being, in great part, an architectural publication. Every 

 number of the work contains some admirable papers by our correspondent 

 Candidus ; and many architects who contributed to our Architectural Magazine 

 have become correspondents of the Civil Engineer. 



The Guide to Service : — The Maid of all Work, 8d. The Housemaid, 8d. 

 The Dairymaid, 8d. The Nurserymaid, Is. The Lady's Maid, Is. 18mo. 

 London, 1838 and 1839. 



To every married gardener who has daughters we recommend those little 

 books ; and, indeed, their contents ought to be known to all women, whatever 

 may be their rank. They are calculated for preparing young women to enter 

 on different departments of female service, and to teach those who keep female 

 servants how to treat them properly, and how to know when their servants 

 have done their duty. Without some idea of the feelings of a young woman 

 who has just left school, and is going out as a servant for the first time, it is 

 impossible that we can sympathise with them, or form any correct idea of their 

 pains and pleasures. Without a knowledge of the duties of a housemaid, we 

 cannot form a correct idea of the sort of knowledge which such a person is 

 likely to possess in general matters ; and the same thing will apply in the 

 case of the nurserymaid and the lady's maid. 



The Literary World ; a Journal of Popidar Information and Entertainment, luith 

 numerous Engravings. Conducted by John Timbs, eleven years editor of 

 the " Mirror." Vol. I. 8vo, pp. 428, thirty-six engravings. London, 1839.
