Sir Richard Colt Hoare has prepared a third and supplemental volume to the Rev. Mr Eustace's Classical Tour through Italy.

R. & L. S. 2 vols 8vo. The history of the early voyages and discoveries of the maritime nations of Europe is distributed among such a multitude of large, expensive, and scarce books, which are seldom looked at for the purpose of being read, that a brief abstract of the various efforts that have been made for the discovery of a northern passage, by the east and by the west, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, accompanied with a general description, from the most authentic and some original sources, of the arctic lands and polar seas, may, at least, serve as a preparative for the history of the proceedings of the two expeditions now pending, which have attracted, and deservedly so, no common share of the public attention of European nations: and in this view it is hoped the present work will not be deemed altogether superfluous nor unacceptable.
