M'CULLOCH.-A DICTIONARY, PRACTICAL, THEORETICAL, AND HISTORICAL, OF COMMERCE, AND COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION. By J. R. M'Culloch, Esq. An entirely New Edition, corrected throughout, enlarged, and improved. 1 very thick vol. 8vo., illustrated with Maps and Plans, 508. cloth; or 558. strongly halfbound in Russia, with flexible back.

"Mr. M'Culloch's Commercial Dictionary has for several years been a vade mecum for merchants, traders, ship-owners, and ship-masters, to guide and assist them in conducting the details of their respective occupations, we need not therefore expatiate upon the general merits of this well-known work, in announcing to the mercantile world a new, enlarged, and improved edition. The subjects handled in a commercial dictionary are not of a stationary but a progressive character, and those who mostly use such repertories are not curious about historical notices or theoretical discussions, but concern themselves solely with practical details immediately connected with the present moment. The changes made in our commercial policy by the Tariff Act of 1842, and the late acts for regulating the corn and colonial trades, are so multiform, so important, and affect so many articles and interests, that Mr. M'Culloch despaired of introducing them into a supplement of a less size than the original work, he has therefore reconstructed his dictionary altogether. We have carefully examined this vast work, and are of opinion that the indefatigable author has produced a digest of the most useful and authentic information respecting the past and present state of the commerce of Europe and the world at large, and the laws and regulations under which commercial operations are carried on. We have not space, nor would it be useful if we had, to enumerate the new subjects treated in the edition before us; it will suffice practical men to be assured that in the course of their business scarcely any commercial question can arise upon which they will not find useful information in Mr. M'Culloch's well-stored pages."

"A delightful book for young people, written with great truth and point, and abounding in the natural but exciting adventure, that Cape emigrants are sure to encounter. The descriptions of natural objects-of the scenes of earth, air, and sea-of plants and animalsof the Caffres and their mode of life are all filled in with the happiest effect. It is one of the author's most successful efforts in his more recent and best style, written with the tact, simplicity, and obvious moral bearing of Miss Edgeworth's stories for the young, but animated by a higher purpose than the Irishwoman's, and dashed with that romance of travel which creates an interest that survives the taste for every other kind of fictitious narrative."-Britannia.
