PICKERING'S ALDINE POETS, LETTERS on the EVIDENCES, DOC Vol. VI.: the Poems of Henry Kirke White, with an original Memoir and Portrait.

Vols. I. and II. contain the Poems of Vols. III. and IV. contain the Poems of Burns. Thomson. Vol. V. contains the Poems of Collins. "Of the technical part of this volume (Collins) we have only to repeat the praise we have already most cordially given to the preceding volumes of the Aldine Edition; the perfection of printing, beautiful paper, a neat engraving, whose subject alone would give it interest, works the most valuable in our literature, and every possible information carefully collected respecting the writers; add to all this a price infinitely lower than what is affixed to the thousand volumes of poetry which every day appear, and are every day forgotten; are we not justified in saying the publisher deserves all the patronage public favour can bestow, and in recommending the immediate purchase of these volumes, not only to every library, but to every little bookcase, where a few pretty and favourite volumes are a treasury of great enjoyments amid more active and worldly avocations? We must not forget to mention that a very elegant essay, by Sir Eger. ton Brydges, is also affixed to these poems."-Literary Gazette, No. 712. "This volume is a proof of the triumph of pure and genuine poetry. The poems of Collins were long felt only by the poetic few. We have no poets who surpass him in vigour of concep tion; and none, we think, who equal him in that happiness of handling, which keeps the language subordinate to the thought, and stamps the image truly on our minds. All that he touches rises at once into fine poetry. The exterior elegance of this work, the worth of the Memoir, and the good feeling and good sense contained in the dissertations of Warton and Sir Egerton Brydges must, in addition to the most sweet and impassioned poetry ever written, render this volume of the Aldine Poets' a favourite with the public."-Athenæum, No. 152.

In consulting the best and most recent autho rities, the constructor of this Atlas may claim the merit of having exercised that judgment which he derives from long experience in pursuits connected with the science to which his Work is subservient. The geographical illustrations attached to many of the more important narratives of voyages and travels published of late years, were executed by him; and of the advantages accruing from these and from collateral sources of information, he has freely, and, he trusts, not inefficiently, availed himself. His constant aim has been to render the New General Atlas a Compendium of Geography, in all respects adapted to the present advanced state of the sciences. "We have taken some pains to examine this new Atlas, and we can safely state our conviction of its general superiority to all other Atlases."-Sphinx, (conducted by J. S. Buckingham, Esq.) "The best and most recent authorities are in all cases conaulted; and the price is so moderate as to render it surprising that it should remunerate the artist for his labour in constructing the maps, and engraving them in so masterly a manner."-New Monthly Magazine.

Preparing for publication, Edinburgh: Printed for Constable and Co.; and Hurst, Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library. On the 1st of November will be published, in small 8vo. At a moment when knowledge of almost every description, in standings of all classes of society, it will not appear to be an a form at once pleasing and cheap, is made familiar to the underimproper diversion of such channels of useful intelligence, if they are made instrumental to the propagation of Moral and Religious Truths. Accordingly, the proprietors of the Work, of which the title is above announced, are induced to present the public, at reasonable intervals, with a Manual of Religious Edification, more especially adapted for the Lord's Day; as containing the sentiments of many of the more eminent Divines of the Church of England in the Discourses delivered from their pulpits. For the purposes of domestic instruction in the truths of religion, especially among Youth of both Sexes, it is presumed that few Substitutes will be found more effectual than that now pro those Divines, living and deceased, whose Discourses will find a posed. Each volume will contain a suitable variety both of subjects and of authors; while the long-established reputation of place within the pages of this work, cannot fail to insure to the public the dissemination of edifying and orthodox doctrines. Let it be also especially impressed upon the minds of Christians, of every persuasion, that at no moment can a work, similar to the present, have stronger claims upon their attention and support, than at this precise period-when the elements of civil society seem to be agitated in every direction, and when a sound and sober exposition of Scriptural Truths may most essentially contribute to the support of the best interests of the Country.
