Edward Dodwell, Esq. is preparing for publication, a Classical and Topographical Tour in Greece, during the years 1801, 1805, and 1806. A long residence in Turkey has enabled the Author to examine, and the assistance of a first-rate Artist, to illustrate the Topography of, that Seat of Early History. Greece, including Peloponnesus and the Ionian Islands, were the particular objects of his Tour; in the course of which, many Districts, unexplored by Modern Travellers, have been penetrated, and remains, hitherto unknown, visited, and most faithful Drawings made of their actual state. Many of the Drawings being upon a scale which, consistent with their extreme accuracy, will not allow of reduction to the size of a quarto volume, it is intended to publish a separate Work, consisting of Sixty Views of the most celebrated Scenes and Monuments of Greece; in which fac-similes of the Drawings, taken and coloured upon the spot, will be produced, of the size of Stuart's Athens,-forming a complete series of all that now exists of Grecian Antiquity.

Sir John Byerley, a gentleman admirably qualified by his various attainments, and by a critical knowledge of both languages, has undertaken a translation of Shakspeare into French.

We understand that the remaining Vol. of the Work on the History, Literature, and Mythology of the Hindus, printing at the Serampore press, is at length nearly finished. The delay attending the publication of this Work has arisen from a cause which, we are persuaded, will give satisfaction to the subscribers: more than 250 pages have been devoted to very difficult Translations from the Hindu Philosophical Works, and the Lives of their Sages. The Introductory Chapter, also, will contain a Review of their Philosophical Opinions, compared with those of other Ancient Nations, and an Ac, count of the present State of Learning among the Hindus.

We understand that a Pamphlet is about to be published, illustrative of the Cause and Treatment of the Cholera Morbus, which lately prevailed at Jessore, in which it is argued, that to the immoderate use of New Rice was principally owing the occurrence of the disease. The same complaint has prevailed with considerable violence at Balasore, where it appears that Sable Fish is not to be procured, and the New Rice had not come into use. These two articles of food have been severally charged with the production of the Epidemic in question, but apparently without sufficient consideration. Mr Brande, Chemical Professor at the

Royal Institution, is preparing for publication, a Manual of Chemistry; containing the principal Facts of the Science, arranged in the order in which they are discussed and illustrated in his much-admired Lectures.

Dr Bostock is about to publish an Account of the History and Present State of Galvanism.

It is not generally known, that some very curious Memoirs of Lucien Bonaparte were printed in 1815. When, however, they were nearly ready, obstacles to the appearance arose; the publication was suspended, and the whole impression was eventually burnt. An agent of Lucien, it is presumed, indemnified the publisher, and obtained from him the sacrifice of his speculation, and the possession of the original manuscript. By what means this manuscript has again been suffered to see the light, we know not; but it is certain, that a London bookseller has obtained possession of it, and that it is immediately to be published.

The third part of the Encyclopædia Metropolitana will appear early in the ensuing

Month.

Mr Simmons will shortly publish, both in England and America, a Novel Plan of Vessels of War, which was submitted to the consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty in June 1810, and by them rejected.

This Work, which will be uncommonly interesting on account of its authenticity, has not been yet published, because the manuscript has been detained by the English Government.

BIOGRAPHY.

DIVINITY.

Messrs Cadell and Davies have just pub. lished, dedicated, by special permission, to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the first part of a new and superior edition of the Holy Scriptures, with numerous engravings; and now including a Preface and Historical Accounts of the several Books, written expressly for this edition, by the Rev. Edward Nares, D. D. Rector of Biddenden, Kent, and Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford. -Whilst it is the pious and avowed object of the ancient and venerable Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, and of the British and Foreign Bible Society, to disseminate the Word of God, as extensively possible, among the poorest and the most uninstructed of our fellow-creatures, by the distribution of Bibles printed in the chicapest forms, it has also been thought important, in this opulent and highly civilized

as

country, to engage young persons in the higher classes of society in a more diligent study of the sacred page, by presenting to them the Bible in a more ornamental form, enriched with graphical illustrations of the text, of undoubted merit and character; thus making the elegant arts of painting and engraving subservient to the advancement of the great interests of Christianity, and the gratification of taste conducive to the improvement of piety. views, the present edition has been underWith these taken, upon a scale of sufficient importance to command the attention of the highest and most enlightened persons, yet with every possible care to avoid unnecessary expense. The mode of its intended publication is detailed in the following Prospectus.-The engravings, which originally appeared in the magnificent and expensive work called Macklin's Bible, and which form the richest and most interesting assemblage of engravings, illustrative of the Holy Scriptures, that have ever been published in any country, consist of seventy historical subjects, executed by the first artists of this country, from pictures painted by Sir Joshua Rey nolds, Mr West, Mr Loutherbourg, Mr Fuseli, Mr Smirke, Mr Stothard, &c. be sides more than one hundred vignette headpieces and tail-pieces, emblematical of the several books. The printing, again executed by Mr Bensley, is in the size called atlas quarto, and the work will be pub lished in twelve parts, price two guineas each. The first part was published on the 1st of June, and the remaining parts will follow regularly on the first day of each succeeding month. For the purpose of ascertaining the degree of support with which the work will be honoured, and of securing a delivery of the copies in exact conformity with the dates of orders, a subscription is solicited; each subscriber paying the price of the first part in advance, and engaging to pay a like sum on the publication of each subsequent part, except the concluding one, which will be delivered gratis. A list of the subscribers will be

printed, and prefixed to the work. The work, when completed, will form three elegant volumes of convenient size; and the price of such complete sets (if any) as may not be subscribed for on the publication of the sixth part, must be much advanced, on account of the limited number to which the edition is necessarily confined.
