UNIVERSAL TECHNOLOGICAL DICTIONARY; or Familiar Explanation of the Terms used in all Arts and Sciences; containing definitions drawn from original Writers. By GEORGE CRABB, A. M. Author of English Synonymes Explained. In two large volumes, 4to. illustrated by 60 copperplates, and more than 500 diagrams, price 57. 8s.

"Mr. Crabb has completed his Technological Dictionary, and has thereby rendered a valuable and acceptable service to the literature of the country. Nothing has been more wanted by students, and readers in general, than a complete alphabet of the technical language of all the Sciences; and such a task Mr. Crabb has ably and honestly performed. Nor is the work a mere dull glossary, for he has appended to his definitions such other explanations as render the work a succinct General Cyclopædia. We recommend it as a necessary Companion to Johnson's Dictionary."-Mon. Mag. April, 1823.

"We have now only to express our entire satisfaction with the execution of the work. The definitions are perspicuous, clear, and precise. We have neither the pedantry of Johnson, nor the incompetence of Bailey. The short systems are excellent accidences; and the dispersed articles of good dictionary are multum in parvo. The plates, type, and paper are of commensurate character."-Gent.'s Mag. April 1823.

ENGLISH SYNONYMES EXPLAINED, in Alphabetical Order; with Copious Illustrations and Examples, drawn from the best Writers. By the same Author. 8vo. Third Edition greatly enlarged and corrected, price 17. 1s.

"It is to be wished that some such works as the Abbe Girard's Synonymes Francoises, were undertaken for our tongue. Nothing would contribute more to precise and elegant writing."-Blair's Lectures.

The present work forms a valuable addition to the philological treatises we possess-Mr. Crabb has brought to the task which he undertook a sound judgment, and an extent and accuracy of investigation, which have gone far to supply the chasm which remained in this branch of our literature.-His plan has been to class together words which have a similarity of signification; and after giving for the most part the sense common to thein all, to distinguish the cases in which each is more particularly applicable. He has also noticed the difference between the literal and metaphorical usage of such as admit of both; and the style to which each is appropriated when such a distinction occurs."-Brit. Črit. Oct. 1823.

A DICTIONARY OF LATIN PHRASES; comprehending a Methodical Digest of the various Phrases from the best Authors, which have been collected in all Phraseological Works hitherto published; for the more speedy progress of Students in Latin Composition. By WILLIAM ROBERTSON, A. M. of Cambridge. A New Edition, with considerable Additions, Alterations, and Corrections. In one volume, royal 12mo. consisting of more than 1000 pages, price 15s. bound.

The present edition has this advantage over its predecessors, that it is enriched with many hundred phrases which have hitherto been unrecorded; and these have been drawn froin the purest fountains, by actual perusal; from Cicero, Tacitus, Terence, Plautus, &c.

ESSAYS ON THE INSTITUTIONS, GOVERNMENT, AND MANNERS OF THE STATES OF ANCIENT GREECE. BY HENRY DAVID HILL, D. D., Professor of Greek in the University of St. Andrews. The Second Edition, 12mo. price 7s.

"To young persons who are just entering upon the higher classics, and to studious men who are desirous of repatring, by their own industry, the acci dental defects of an imperfect education, a more useful assistant, we think, cannot well be furnished. In the first six Essays, the author treats of the heroic age, and those institutions which concerned the Greeks generally; in the subsequent ones he confines himself to the manners and customs of those two leading states in Greece. An Essay on the Government, Manners, and Religion of the Persians, a people whom the more brilliant history of the Greeks has been suffered to throw too much into obscurity, very properly concludes the work."-Quarterly Review, No. 43.

SKETCHES OF THE DOMESTIC AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE ROMANS.

MANNERS 12mo. 78.

"Carefully and judiciously compiled from a variety of the best sources, there are few books of the kind which we could recommend to be put into the hands of young persons with greater satisfaction than this little volume. Its contents embrace, we think, every subject of importance connected with Roman society, and all that may be worth knowing of the domestic affairs of a nation essentially warlike, and (compared with modern civilization) barbarous, is to be gathered from this publication in a pleasing form."-Literary Gazette.

The work before us is an improvement upon preceding summaries of the kind, and in our opinion a very successful one. It is a work professedly intended for schools and young persons. Of course we are to look for multum and it is excellently adapted to the purpose."-Gent's Mag.

in parvo, Ce petit volume offre une peinture fidèle des habitudes du peuple Romain, telles qu'elles existaient sous la republique et sous l'empire. Pline, Juvenal, Perse et quelques anciens auteurs, ont fourni les principaux traits de ce tableau. L'auteur à eu aussi recours à plusieurs savans commentateurs; il a reuni leurs recherches, et en fait un ouvrage d'un egal intérêt pour la jeune etudiant et pour l'homme du monde."- Revue Encyclopedique.

OF THE USE OF MIRACLES IN PROVING THE TRUTH OF A REVELATION By the Rev. JOHN PENROSE,

Jun. M. A. formerly of C. C. Col. Oxford. 12mo. price 2s. 6d.

AN INQUIRY, CHIEFLY ON PRINCIPLES OF RELIGION, INTO THE NATURE AND DISCIPLINE OF HUMAN MOTIVES.-By the same Author; 8vo. price 10s 6d.

A COMPENDIOUS VIEW OF UNIVERSAL HISTORY AND LITERATURE, in a Series of Tables: from the Fourth Edition of the German of G. G. BREDOW, Professor of History in the University of Breslau. With a Table of Painters. arranged in Schools and Ages, from the French notes of M. Van Brée, Professor in Chief of the Royal Academy of Arts at Antwerp. With considerable Additions (including a succinct View of the Transactions of the Europeans in India), and an entirely new Table comprising the History of Europe from the Year 1799, to the close of the Reign of George III. By MAJOR JAMES BELL. In Royal Folio, price 17. 10s. very strongly and handsomely half-bound.

The Tables of Professor Bredow (serving either for Reading or Reference) have been selected for Translation, as appearing to offer advantages of simplicity and efficiency above all other works of a similar description hitherto published in any language. They present a concise and connected view of the inost important facts of Universal History, under the following comprehensive arrangement;-1. Each Table embraces a grand Epoch of General History.2. The Nations co-existent within such Epoch are placed in collateral Columns.-3. The collateral Columns severally exhibit a Chronological Chain of the principal Events in every separate State; while, 4thly, The whole are transversely combined, by the contemporary events of the different Columns being kept nearly as possible in horizontal Alignements; thus offering either a rapid glance (from side to side) at the History of all Nations at any one given period, or a distinct and uninterrupted survey (downwards) of the history of any one particular state.

MORNING COMMUNINGS WITH GOD; or, Devotional Meditations for every Day of the Year. Translated from the original German of CHRISTIAN CHRISTOPHER STURM, Author of "Reflections," &c. by WILLIAM JOHNSTONE, A. M. 2 vols. royal 12mo. price 16s.

It is most extraordinary that this work should now appear for the first time in the English Language, having been even more popular on the Continent than the "Reflections" of the same Author, and containing Devotional Exercises and Aspirations of the highest eloquence and the purest Christianity.

FATAL ERRORS AND FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS; illustrated in a Series of Narratives and Essays. 8vo. 9s.
