twelve pages Quarto with two wood-cuts. The Journal is designed, 

 like the Penny and Saturday Magazines in England to impart through 

 the Vernacular tongue interesting and useful information, to combine 

 the utile cum dulci. The work is printed at the Encyclopedia Press 

 in Calcutta conducted by native Christians, and the price is only one 

 rupee eight annas a year. Besides papers on practical religious 

 subjects, the Magazine is designed to contain a series of articles on 

 Natural History, Mohammadan history, biographies of eminent English- 

 men in India, sketches of Hinduism, and Christian biography. The 

 present number contains a very good article on Caste, which is to be 

 continued. 



A translation into Bengali of an excellent work, Chamber's Moral 

 Class Book has just appeared ; the style is good, and by the illustrative 

 anecdotes it is well adapted for school and general reading. A Ben- 

 gali Dictionary on the plan of Haughton's with all the meanings in 

 Bengali is passing through the Purnachandrodaya press, compiled by 

 the Editor of the Purnachandrodaya, who has rendered much benefit 

 to his countrymen by the well executed useful works that have at vari- 

 ous times issued from his press. Robinson Crusoe in Bengali, and the 

 lives of Columbus and Peter the Great, will shortly be published under 

 the auspices of the Vernacular Translation Society. We hope the same 

 Society will also shortly issue under their patronage a Penny Magazine 

 in Bengali. To the kindness of the Hon'ble J. D. Bethune and of 

 Knight, the London Publisher, Bengali Vernacular Literature is deeply 

 indebted for the valuable supply of type-metal cuts which have been 

 furnished to illustrate Bengali publications.
