A COMPANION to POPE'S HOMER and DRYDEN'S ENEID of VIRGIL, being an Explanation of the Mythology, History, and Geography, contained in those Works. With a copious Index. 8vo. 128.

"This book will be found as useful to those who are unacquainted with the dead languages, as to those who are conversant with them; we are able to state confidently that it has been compiled with great care, and contains a great variety of valuable information."-Classical Journal.

"The work is intended as a companion to Homer and Virgil's Æneid. The several articles are inserted in regular succession, as they occur in the translations of Pope and Dryden. This is an obvious and great improvement on the plan of a Classical Dictionary, in which the articles are inserted alphabetically; much time is thus saved, and much perplexity avoided, greatly to the reader's advantage."-Eclectic Review.

So far as Homer and Virgil are concerned, this Commentary is very complete. There will be no occasion for reference to anybody's antiquities, Greek, or Roman.-The impurities of Mythology are carefully swept away."-Monthly Magazine.

PROGRESSIVE GEOGRAPHY for CHILDREN. By the Author of "Stories from the History of England." 12mo. 28. half-bound.

"A very useful little work, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is intended."-Brighton Gazette.

"It is written in a plain, clear style, and the information contained in it appears likely to implant a sound knowledge of the rudiments of Geography in the juvenile mind-thus rendering natural and easy the progress to the higher parts of the science. It is a clever and really useful little book."-Plymouth Herald.

"The plan, the simple, and demonstrative manner in which it is followed up, the little maps which "e'en a child might understand," and the promiscuous index of names, whereby a cross-examination may be made on the acquirement of the names in their proper order, form a work likely to prove useful in communicating the rudiments of geography to children long before it has been usual to give them any instruction on the subject."-Tyne Mercury.

XX.

THE VERACITY

OF THE

FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES,

ARGUED FROm undesigneD COINCIDENCES TO BE FOUND IN THEM, WHEN COMPARED IN THEIR SEVERAL PARTS.

By the Rev. J. J. BLUNT,

Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge.

In small 8vo. 5s. 6d.

"Mr. Blunt has already signalized himself by his work on the Acts of the Apostles, as an individual intimately conversant with the most minute particulars of Holy Writers, and a very successful disciple of Dr. Paley, in the management of that species of Christian evidence, which arises from the discovery of undesigned coincidence of revealed truth. This volume cannot fail to increase his reputation. It is both a pleasing and instructive work, and is creditable to the talents, learning, and piety of the respected author."-Evangelical Magazine, June, 1830.

MR. MURRAY'S LIST.

MRS. RUNDELL'S ECONOMICAL COOKERY FOR FAMILIES.

This day is published, a NEW EDITION, in small 8vo., with Ten Plates, price only 78. 6d.

A NEW SYSTEM

OF

DOMESTIC COOKERY,

COMPRISING

Upwards of 1400 valuable Receipts, under the following heads :———

Comprising many plain Receipts, and practical Instructions, which will be found particularly useful to the Mistress of a Family.

WRITTEN BY A LADY FOR HER DAUGHTERS.

"This is really one of the most practically useful books of any which we have seen on the subject. The Lady, who has written it, has not studied how to form expensive articles for luxurious tables, but to combine elegance with economy; she has given her directions in a plain sensible manner, that every body can understand, and these are not confined merely to cookery, but are extended to a variety of objects in use in Families; by which means the utility of the book is very much increased indeed."-British Critic.

"Of this truly useful book, upwards of ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY THOUSAND COPIES have been sold. Probably no other Work on the subject was ever so well received. Although one of the oldest of its class, the constant attention which has been paid to the improvement of each succeeding Edition, and the numerous additions made to it from time to time, enable this work to retain its pre-eminence, whilst the low price at which it is sold makes it accessible to the means of every one.-The bare fact of the number of copies sold, must be a sufficient proof of its excellence to all good housewives, without any recommendation from us; it is, in fact, a book indispensable to every well-regulated kitchen. A new chapter on FRENCH COOKERY seems particularly to merit attention." -Leeds Mercury.

* An entirely novel and most important Chapter on French Cookery is added to this Edition.

Post 8vo. with Plates and Woodcuts, price 15s.

Plants, trees, and stones, we note,

Birds, insects, beasts, and many rural things.

"The selections from the author's private memoranda, with which he has favoured the world, constitute one of the most interesting and instructive volumes of the kind in the English language. The plan of the work has been suggested by the Natural History of Selborne,' by Mr. White; and it will not suffer from a comparison with that very excellent publication. Young persons of intelligence and education will find in it much curious and interesting information, which, while it extends their knowledge, will excite in them sentiments of piety and humanity, and increase their love of nature; and the agriculturist may derive from it many useful suggestions which he will be able to turn to a good practical account. The volume is beautifully printed, and is illustrated by several elegant engravings. It is rendered the more valuable by a frequent recognition of the wisdom and goodness of God, who created all things by his power, and whose tender mercy is over all his works."-Wesleyan Methodist Magazine.

"The success of this interesting book, which has now reached a third edition, is a tolerable pledge of its merits. No one can have looked through its simple, unassuming pages, without pleasurable feelings."-Asiatic Journal, Sept. 1828. "We again most strongly recommend this little unpretending volume to the attention of every lover of nature, and more particularly to our country readers. It will induce them, we are sure, to examine more closely than they have been accustomed to do into the objects of animated nature; and such examination will prove one of the most innocent and the most satisfactory sources of gratification and amusement. It is a book that ought to find its way into every rural drawingroom in the kingdom, and one that may safely be placed in every lady's boudoir, be her rank and station in life what they may."-Quarterly Review, No. lxxviii.

"This is a most delightful book on the most delightful of all studies. We are acquainted with no previous work which bears any resemblance to this, except White's History of Selbourne,' the most fascinating piece of rural writing and sound English philosophy that ever issued from the press."-Athenæum.

"The author of the charming volume before us has produced one of the most interesting books we remember to have seen for a long time."-New Monthly Magazine, June, 1829.

"A truly delightful book. We sincerely thank our author for the pleasure which it has afforded us, and only wish that our praise were as valuable as it is sincere and merited."-Gentleman's Magazine, Dec. 1830.
