SELECTION FROM THE SPEECHES AND WRITINGS of the late LORD KING. With a short Introductory Memoir, by EARL FORTESCUE. Demy 8vo. Portrait, 12s. cloth.

"A judicious and interesting selection from the speeches and writings of a nobleman who, by ability, consistency, and honesty of purpose, displayed throughout the course of a long public life, deserved to live in the remembrance of his countrymen; interesting, also, as a memorial of one of the earliest champions of those principles which now receive general homage; and an useful contribution to the political history of the first thirty years of the present century. The introductory memoir is distinguished by good feeling and good taste, and is chargeable only with the uncommon fault of being too short."-MORNING CHRONICLE.

KIPPIS. A COLLECTION OF HYMNS AND PSALMS,

For Public and Private Worship. Selected and prepared by A. KIPPIS, D.D., ABRAHAM REES, D.D., the Rev. THOMAS JERVIS, and the Rev. T MORGAN. To which is added, a SUPPLEMENT. New Edition, corrected and improved, 18mo. 5s. bound.

KIRBY & SPENCE.-AN INTRODUCTION TO ENTOMOLOGY;

Or, Elements of the Natural History of Insects: comprising an account of noxious and useful Insects, of their Metamorphoses, Food, Stratagems, Habitations, Societies, Motions, Noises, Hybernation, Instinct, &c. By W. KIRBY, M.A. F.R.S. & L.S. Rector of Barham; and W. SPENCE, Esq. F.R.S. & L.S. 6th Edit. corrected and much enlarged, 2 vols. 8vo. 31s. 6d. cloth. The first two volumes of the "Introduction to Entomology" are published as a separate work, distinct from the third and fourth volumes, and, though much enlarged, at a considerable reduction of price, in order that the numerous class of readers who confine their study of insects to that of their manners and economy, need not be burthened with the cost of the technical portion of the work, relating to their anatomy, physiology, &c.

KNAPP.-GRAMINA BRITANNICA;

Or, Representations of the British Grasses: with Remarks and occasional Descriptions. By I. L. KNAPP, Esq. F.L.S. & A.S. 2d Edition, 4to. with 118 Plates, beautifully coloured, pp. 250, 3. 16s. boards.

"Most of the persons interested in the art of distinguishing grasses are country-gentlemen and farmers, who know nothing of botany, and cannot use the technical descriptions or analytical figures of botanists. To that great class such a book is invaluable. It ought, in fact, to form part of the library of every one interested in rural affairs; for there are few plants so difficult to distinguish as grasses, not any more so, and none which it is more important to know correctly, because of their various uses and qualities. With Mr. Knapp's book before him, no one can have the least difficulty in making himself master of the subject."-GARDENERS' CHRONICLE.

Translated from the Icelandic of Snorro Sturleson, with Notes, and a Preliminary Discourse, by SAMUEL LAING, Author of "Notes of a Traveller," &c. 3 vols. 8vo. 36s. cloth.

"We have been rather profuse in our extracts from this curious and most characteristic old history. But it is long since we have met with a work so spirited, and so amusing, and at the same time affording such valuable information respecting a race to whom we are so largely indebted, as this venerable Chronicle of Snorro Sturleson."

The possession of such knowledge will necessarily teach them how to improve their methods of cultivation, and lead them to the discovery of new and better modes.

AND By J. C.

"In 1813, Mr. Loudon was at Warsaw after the batlte of Bautzen; and was so strongly impressed by the contrast between the burials of the rich in the cemetry, the poor in trenches in the open ground without coffins, and cart-loads of dead soldiers from the hospitals thrown into great pits, as to have ever since directed his attention to burials and burial grounds. Having been lately employed to plan the Cambridge Cemetery, he was compelled to give his views a definite and practical shape. The result is the volume before us; which, like most other works of Mr. Loudon, exhausts the subject on which it treats, presenting the principles as well as the practice, in a full and popular form. To shareholders of cemeteries and others having a practical connexion with the improvement of interments, the book is almost necessary; nor will it be without interest to any one whose hobby ambles towards the mournful subject."-SPECTATOR.

M'CULLOCH.-A DICTIONARY, PRACTICAL, THEORETI

CAL, AND HISTORICAL, OF COMMERCE AND COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION. Illustrated with Maps and Plans. By J. R. M'CULLOCH, Esq. Member of the Institute of France. An entirely New Edition, corrected throughout, enlarged, and improved. One thick vol. 8vo. 50s. cloth; or 55s. strongly half-bound in russia, with flexible backs.

"Without exaggeration one of the most wonderful compilations of the age. The power of continuous labour, the wide range of inquiry, and the power of artistical finish, which have been brought into play by this work, are probably unrivalled in the history of literature.... Compared with all previous attempts to compile a commercial dictionary, Mr. M'Culloch's appears as the realisation of an idea which former projectors had conceived too vaguely to be able to carry into execution. It is superior to them all, quite as much for the spirit of judicious selection brought by the author to his task, as for any other quality. The great merit of the work is, that, while omitting nothing of essential importance, it contains nothing that is useless or merely cumbrous..... The success of the earlier editions of Mr. M'Culloch's Dictionary is, after all, the best proof of its merit: the facts attending it, prove that the mercantile, political, and literary public were in want of such a work, and that they were satisfied with the manner in which Mr. M'Culloch had performed his task. No reader can rise from the perusal of any one of the larger articles without feeling that no previous writer has concentrated so much valuable information within so small a compass, or conveyed his information in so agreeable a style. And the remark is equally applicable to all the numerous articles of which this crammed volume is composed..... It is, indeed, invaluable as a book of reference to the merchant, the insurance-agent, the statesman, and the journalist; and its articles, from the care and talent with which they are executed, are as well calculated to supply the wants of the patient inquirer as of the hurried man of business. Mr. M'Culloch occupies a high place amongst the authors of the day as a hard-headed original thinker in political economy; a still higher, as one of the most zealous and successful labourers in rendering that science popular; but, of all his publications, his Commercial Dictionary is the one least likely to encounter the rivalry of a work of superior or even equal value."-Abridged from THE SPECTATOR of March 16, 1844.
