For the use of Private Families. In a Series of Receipts, all of which have been strictly tested, and are given with the most minute exactness. By ELIZA ACTON. Dedicated to the Young Housekeepers of England. Fcp. 8vo. illustrated by woodcuts, 7s. 6d. cloth. "It is a general complaint of books, especially of treatises on science, that they are made from other books, instead of the facts being derived from observation or experiment. From this defect Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery in all its Branches' is free. Every recipe contained in its six hundred and odd pages has been tested by the only but pleasant method of trial-tasting, and pronounced good. Without the same experiment, it is impossible for a critic to form a satisfactory judgment upon a cookery-book; and as there seems at least a thousand recipes in the volume, such a mode of deciding would take a long time. So far as we can speak theoretically, the book is a good book. The arrangement is natural (in the order of English eating): beginning with soups and fish, and then proceeding to the garnish of gravies, sauces, and force-meats. Roast and boiled, made-dish es, potted meats, and vegetables follow; a long list of pies, puddings, confectionery, and what not, bring up the rear. British is the system upon which the whole is based: the methods are clearly described, and seem founded on chemical principles."-SPECTATOR.

Post 8vo. 10s. 6d. cloth. "Miss Beale has been sojourning in the Vale of the Towey; and has thrown her enjoyment of its scenery, and her observations on the manners of its rustic population, into the form of a series of sketches. These, either by original design, or by the mode in which she happened to cast them, become connected together, as the book proceeds, by means of the characters, incidents, and fortunes involved in a rural love-match,-which, like all other love, does not run quite smooth to its ending. The great merit of her book is its truth; which leaves a strong impression on the reader's mind."-SPECTATOR.

Vol. 1 (1742-48), 18s. cloth; Vol. 2 (1749-60), 15s. cloth. "The second volume of this publication includes a correspondence having relation to the period from the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle to the death of George II. Its most remarkable portion bears upon an important question on which there exist some differences of opinion at the present time, viz. the intrigues which led to the junction of the Duke of Newcastle and Pitt, in 1757. The letters respecting the state of Ireland under the Viceroyalty of the Duke of Bedford, also here, are not a little interesting."-MORNING HERALD. BELL.-LIVES OF THE MOST EMINENT ENGLISH POETS.

By ROBERT BELL, Esq. 3 vols. fcp. 8vo. with Vignette Titles, 18s. cloth, BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY Of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Half-volumes 1 to 7 (AA to * Published Quarterly.-The work will probably not exceed Thirty Volumes. "We have carefully examined the articles under letter A, now completed, and have no reason to complain of any want of uniformity. There seems to have been, on the whole, a judicious apportioning of space, according to the importance of the individual. In order to secure this necessary uniformity, a society, which had no pecuniary profit as its end, was more likely to succeed than a private publisher, or body of publishers. In style, execution, and completeness, the lives are far superior to those of any biographical dictionary with which we are acquainted. The only one, indeed, with which, for completeness, it can be compared, is the French Biographie Universelle,' but in this respect it has very greatly the advantage." [The reviewer institutes a comparison in favour of the English work, too long to be quoted, and ends his paragraph as follows:]-So that the Society's Dictionary must be regarded as a labour not only for Great Britain, but for Europe. In all the articles there are two points in which they are fuller and more accurate than any previous work of the kind; and these are, the titles, dates, and places of publication of books, and their editions, and the sources from whence the materials have been derived for the biography." ATHENEUM. BLACK.-A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON BREWING, Based on Chemical and Economical Principles: with Formulæ for Public Brewers, and Instructions for Private Families. By WILLIAM BLACK.
