in one vol. 8ve. called Europe; or, a 
general survey of the present situa¬ 
tion of the principal powers, with 
conjectures on their future prospects ; 
by a citizen of the United States. 
As some Teachers of Youth prefer 
the form of Simple Question with An¬ 
swer, to tile principle of Questions with¬ 
out Answers; Mr. Mitchell, author 
of several Elementaly Works, has pre¬ 
pared a general view of every impor¬ 
tant branch of knowledge, in a volume 
which he calls the Universal Catechist. 
To give it greater effect, the subjects 
will be illustrated with 200 engravings, 
and it will lie prin ted in a new manner, 
according to the invention by which 
Messrs. Applegath and Cowper pro¬ 
posed to confer.so much beauty on Bank 
Notes. In matter, manner and form, 
it will constitute an unique volume. 
Dr. J. C. Pritchard, F.L.S. &c. 
has ready for publication a Treatise on 
the Diseases of the Nervous System, 
voL 1. comprising convulsive and ma¬ 
niacal affections. The design of this 
work is to illustrate, by numerous 
cases of epilepsy, mania, chorea, and 
the different forms of paralysis; the 
connection between affections of this 
class and a variety of disorders 
Dr. Forbes is preparing a Transla¬ 
tion of a treatise on the diseases of the 
Chest, in which they are described ac¬ 
cording to their anatomical characters,

Au edition is printing in London, 
with certain national variations of the 
celebrated Lemons Franyaises , which 
Messrs. Noel and La Place recently

Paris edition is in two volumes, octavo, 
Monthly Mao. No. 362 .

pointed in Loudon to receive subscrip¬ 
tions for twenty-five monthly volumes 
of text, at 7s. Od., and for 180 parts, of 
five plates, at 12s. 6d. It will consti¬ 
tute the greatest literary production 
that ever appeared. 
We have been assured that the sale 
of Scottish novels has been unduly ex¬ 
aggerated, and that not more than 
12,000 of one novel has ever been sold. 
The profits, therefore, are not more than 
a third of our late estimate. 
A new edition of Mr. Young’s Far¬ 
mer’s Kalendar being called for, and 
the world being deprived by death of 
his further labours; Mr. John Mid¬ 
dleton, author of the Middlesex

vices to confer on this national volume 
every possible perfection, and the edi¬ 
tion thus revised, will appear in a few 
days, in duodecimo, with engravings.

The next part of the Monthly Jour¬ 
nal of New Voyages and Travels will

Provinces of China, by an Officer of an 
English Ship, wrecked on Hie Coast. 
Similar opportunities for viewing that 
secluded people never before were pre¬ 
sented to any European.—The next 
part of the same Monthly Journal will 
contain the Narrative of a late Wreck 
of the Sophia on the Coast of Afri¬ 
ca, with the extraordinary adventures 
and discoveries of the crew, in their 
march through the interior. It is accom¬ 
panied by fine drawings, and forms the 
most interesting original work on Afri¬ 
ca which has lately appeared. 
Illustrations are announced of the 
History, Manners,, and Customs, Arts, 
Sciences, and Literature of Japan, se¬ 
lected from Japanese manuscripts and 
printed works, by M. TttsinGh, for¬
