Have in course of Publication in consort with the London Publishers, THE ENGLISH CYCLOPEDIA. A New Dictionary of Universal Knowledge. Illustrated with Upwards of Five Thousand Wood Engravings, Many of the articles written by the most Eminent Scholars and Scientific Men of the Day. Upon completing the first two volumes of the "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA ”— namely, one of GEOGRAPHY, and one of NATURAL HISTORY-the public attention to the distinctive character of this work is respectfully requested by the Publishers. "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA," as now announced, is based upon "The Penny Cyclopædia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge." The copyright of that great work being the property of Mr. Knight, he alone had the power of remodelling it throughout, so as to adapt the original materials to the existing state of knowledge. The amount of literary labor which this adaptation has involved will at once be seen by any one who will compare the present work with the original. It has not been a labor merely of correction and revision; it has involved the necessity of introducing a great body of newly-written matter. The changes which have elapsed since "The Penny Cyclopædia" was commenced, twenty years ago, have rendered every branch of information in some degree a new study. In "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA" no diligence has been spared to collect every fact not previously recorded; to systematize articles that from the long course of publication of the original work were disconnected to make the references complete; and truly to present, as far as a "DICTIONARY OF UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE can present, the advanced opinions of our own times. During the progress of its completion, it has become more and more evident that the plan of issuing "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA " in Four Divisions is a judicious arrangement. It has the obvious advantage of completing, in a comparatively short space of time, large departments of knowledge with the most recent information. Finishing the great branches of Geography and Natural History in two years, the beginning and the end of each series will not present different aspects, the one somewhat antiquated, the other perfectly fresh. The editorial labor, too, being more condensed, the relations and proportions of each article and subject can be better preserved. The old materials were of the highest value; but the edifice required to be rebuilt; and thus "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA " is essentially a NEW Cyclopædia; not only taking a NEW form, but NEW in all the essentials of literary novelty. It is necessary to add, that an ATLAS to accompany the Geographical Division of "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA" will be prepared; but as it will not be an isolated collection of Maps, but one adapted to the text of the Cyclopædia, it will not be issued till the work is more advanced; and thus the most recent information will be therein embodied. "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPEDIA" will be comprised in four Divisions, each having its own alphabetical arrangement, and each forming, when complete, four distinct volumes. 4 vols. | HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, LITERATURE, &C., 4 vols. 4 vols.

URE'S Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, CONTAINING A CLEAR EXPOSITION OF THEIR PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE. A New Edition. Corrected and greatly enlarged. * Many of the Articles entirely re-written, and 400 new Cuts added. Two Large Volumes, 8vo., Cloth. Price, $5; Sheep, $6. **This new edition of URE'S DICTIONARY, is reprinted entire, page for page with the new and greatly enlarged edition just published in England. Although this work is enlarged to two volumes, comprising in all 2,116 pages, the price is not increased beyond the price of the former one-Five Dollars. The following quotation from the author's preface illustrates the leading features of this publication: "I have embodied in this work the results of my long experience as a Professor of Practical Science. Since the year 1805, when I entered at an early age upon the arduous task of conducting the schools of chemistry and manufactures in the Andersonian Institution, up to the present day, I have been assiduously engaged in the study and improvement of most of the chemical and inany of the mechanical arts. Consulted professionally by the proprietors of factories, workshops, and mines of various descriptions, both in this country and abroad, concerning derangements in their operations, or defects in their products, I have enjoyed peculiar opportunities of becoming acquainted with their minutest details, and have frequently had the good fortune to rectify what was amiss or to supply what was wanting. Of the stores of information thus acquired, I have availed myself on the present occasion; careful, meanwhile, to neglect no means of knowledge which my extensive intercourse with foreign nations affords. I therefore humbly hope that this work will prove a valuable contribution to the literature of science, serving In the first place to instruct the Manufacturer, Metallurgist, and Tradesman in the principles of their respective processes, so as to render them, in reality, the masters of their business; and to emancipate them from a state of bondage to such as are too commonly governed by a blind prejudice and a vicious routine. Secondly. To afford Merchants, Brokers, Drysalters, Druggists, and Officers of the Revenue, characteristic descriptions of the commodities which pass through their hands. Thirdly. By exhibiting some of the finest developments of Chemistry and Physics, to lay open an excellent practical school to students of these kindred sciences. Fourthly. To teach capitalists who may be desirous of placing their funds in some productive branch of industry, to select judiciously among plausible claimants. Fifthly. To enable gentlemen of the Law to become well acquainted with the nature of those patent schemes which are so apt to give rise to litigation. Sixthly. To present to Legislators such a clear exposition of the staple manufactures, as may dissuade them from enacting laws which obstruct industry, or cherish one branch of it to the injury of many others. And lastly. To give the general reader, intent, chiefly, on Intellectual Cultivation, views of many of the noblest achievements of Science in effecting those grand transformations of matter to which Great Britain owes her paramount wealth, rank, and power among the nations of the earth. The latest statistics of every important object of manufacture is given, from the best, and, usually, from official authority, at the end of each article. CRITICISMS OF THE PRESS. "In every point of view, a work like the present can but be regarded as a benefit done to science, to commerce, and industry, and an important addition to a species of literature, the exclusive production of the present century, and the present state of peace and civilization."-London Athenæum. "Together with the Commercial Dictionary of Mr. McCulloch, it would supply the merchant and manufacturer with the fullest statistics of commerce, and the most accurate scientific and practical knowledge applicable to manufactures and commerce, in their present condition and prospective capabilities. The work should be on the desk of every countinghouse and warehouse in the kingdom, side by side with the Dictionary of Commerce."-Glasgow Chron. "The most complete encyclopedia of useful science that has ever issued from the press."- United Service Gazette. "It not only treats of the application of chemistry to the arts and manufactures, but it also enters very fully into the mechanical arrangement of the building, the plans and implements of a great variety of trades, on which it communicates much lucid and well-arranged information. It is compiled with great care, and besides containing the latest materials, is strictly confined to what is useful without superfluous detail."-Civil Engineer. "Dr. Ure's reputation precludes the necessity of our saying any thing in proof of the accuracy and sterling worth of this publication. It is designed to embody the results of his long experience as a Professor of Practical Science, and will be found to supply a mass of important information to Manufacturers, Engineers, Chemists, and other numerous classes. It is drawn up in a style at once exact and popular, and is so well iflustrated as to be level to the comprehension of the generality of readers. As a book of reference, it is invaluable, and as such must speedily find its way into every well selected library."-Eclectic Review. "A book much wanted. It contains a mass of information important to the generality of readers, divested of the difficulties of technicality and pedantry, which generally confuse and deter the mere common sense and common capacity student."-London Times.
