of the Geology, Mineralogy, and Zoology. By Professor Jameson, and 
James Wilson and Hugh Murray, Esqrs. 18mo. With a Map and En- 
gravings. , • 
In tills volume is recorded every thing that is known of the interior of that danger- 
ous continent which has been for so many ages a terra incognita, and proved the grave 
of so many enterprising travellers, except what has been revealed to us by the recent 
investigations of John and Richard Lander. The plan of the work consists ot 
condensed abstracts of the narratives of all the modern African travellers, in which 
every thing important or interesting is preserved, while the unessential details have 
been so abbreviated as to bring the substance of each account within convenient 
limits. 
HISTORY OF CHIVALRY AND THE CRUSADES. By 
G. P. R. James, Esq. 18mo. With Engravings. 
No modern writer is, perhaps, so well qualified to write upon this subject as the 
author of " Richelieu," and of the " Life and Times of Charlemagne ;" unquestionably, 
since the death of Sir Waher Scott, the best informed historical antiquary of the age. 
The present work contains, in a small compass, a clear and concise account of that 
celebrated institution which, in process of time, became the foundation of the modern 
European systems of government and jurisprudence, with a vivid description of those 
amazing ebullitions of national enthusiasm which poured such immense multitudes 
of warhke pilgrims upon the plains of Asia, and produced such extraordinary changes 
in the condition of mankmd. The work is eminently curious, interesting, learned, 
and philosophical. 
VIEW OF ANCIENT AND MODERN EGYPT. With an 
Outline of its Natural History.- By the Rev. M. Russell, LL.D. 18mo. 
With a Map and Engravings. 
In this volume is contained a distinct and well arranged account of all that is 
known with certainty respecting the ancient history, as well as the present condition 
of that extraordinary country whose antiquity baffles the research of the most per- 
severing explorers, and to which both Rome and Greece were indebted for at least 
I the rudiments of those arts and sciences which were brought in them to such per- 
1 fection. The stupendous remains of Egyptian architecture, and the treasures of 
knowledge that still remain locked up in the far-famed hieroglyphics, have long en- 
gaged the attention of the most accomphshed scholars, and every thing relating to 
them and the land in which they exist is in the highest degree interesting to the 
inquiring mind. ' 
HISTORY OF POLAND. From the Earliest Period to the 
Present Time. By James Fletcher, Esq. With a Narrative of the Recent 
Events, obtained from a Polish Patriot Nobleman. 18mo. With a Portrait 
of Kosciusko. 
The recent unsuccessful effort of the gallant and unfortunate Poles to break their 
yoke of bondage has fixed the attention and awakened the sympathies of every lover 
of freedom and every friend to humanity. The writer of this history has brought to 
his undertaking much learning, great industry and patience in research, and the 
most unbiased candour. The volume is full of interest and useful information, 
drawn from an immense variety of sources, many of which are not accessible to the 
mass of readers, particularly in America. 
LUTHER AND THE LUTHERAN REFORMATION. By 
the Rev. John Scott. In 2 vols. 18mo. With Portraits.
