A MANUAL of CLASSICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY; comprising a copious detail of the various Editions, Translations into the English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and, occasionally, other languages; Commentaries, and Works, critical and illustrative, of the Greek and Latin Classics. By Jos. W. Moss, B.A. of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, F.R.S. &c. In 2 vols. 8vo. closely printed, comprising nearly 1300 pages, 30s. boards.

"The present bibliographer (Mr. Moss) has freely availed himself of the labours of his predecessors, to whom he acknowledges his obligations, and whose names are cited as his authorities, their publications being referred to for more minute information. In addition to the descriptions of editors of the classical authors, his Manual comprises notices of works relating to the correction or illustration of their texts, and accounts of the various translations of each into the modern languages of Europe, by which students will be directed to the most valuable sources of information. His enumerations under almost every division of his work bear ample testimony to the diligence with which he has laboured in the several departments of bibliography included in his plan."-Eclectic Rev. "The Manual is certainly a very useful work, and very far superior to that of Mr. Dibdin." Monthly Rev.

"Here is an immense body of useful information, not to be met with in any other work."

Lit. Chron.

"This is, in every respect, an extremely able and intelligent compilation, valuable on account of the prodigious amount of bibliographical information that is condensed within its pages; and always of practical utility to the student, by reason of the precision and clearness of its arrangement." Literary Gaz.

KEY to DITTO, 12mo. 3s. bound.

"This is a clever compendium of a most useful branch of mathematical science, for every person ought to be acquainted with Algebra. The author's object is to abridge the labour of the master, or to render a master unnecessary, by familiarizing the subject so as to facilitate the study, and, consequently, lessen the period usually spent in acquiring this essential part of education. Such are his avowed objects, and his work is well calculated to insure them."-Literary Chronicle.

"In mentioning this little work, we have but to make a few general observations. We hear it asked perpetually, Of what use is it for young people (girls particularly) to be introduced to studies of this description, and to have their minds exercised in early life on things which cannot be brought to bear on their pursuits and duties afterwards? In one sense, it is of no use. But though decidedly of no use when learned, we opinion that to some minds they may be essentially useful in the learning. Every thing that exercises the mind, and puts it to effort, strengthens and enlarges it."-Miss Fry's Assistant of Educ.

*

** A few Copies in Imperial Svo. adapted for Illustration, 61. 6s. boards.

"Completeness and impartiality as to its details, are not the only merits of this work. To the connoisseur it will form a guide to facilitate his acquaintance with the peculiar styles, and their varieties, of the great Masters.-Nor is the utility of this work to be overlooked in disseminating among all classes a just taste for, and sound opinions upon the art.”—Monthly Rev.

"The Arts owe a debt of the deepest gratitude to the man with whom Mr. Roscoe has, by his excellent translation, put it in the power of every English reader to become familiarly acquainted. And we will say, that in so doing, he has enabled them to enjoy a very great pleasure. Unlike the majority of works upon science or art, Lanzi has contrived to render his Storia at once full of interesting information and agreeable incident." Lit. Gaz.

A GENERAL HISTORY of MUSIC, from the Earliest Times to the Present; comprising the Lives of Eminent Composers and Musical Writers: the whole accompanied with Notes and Observations, critical and illustrative. By THOS. BUSBY, Mus. Doc. 2 vols. 8vo. 11. 10s. boards.

"Most of our readers must be aware that there are already nine volumes, in 4to. of Musical History; five by Sir John Hawkins, and four by Dr. Burney. Nine volumes, in 4to., however, though none too many for public libraries, are not adapted to the taste of general readers, especially in the present day. In two volumes 8vo. (at a tithe of the expense) Dr. Busby has concentrated as much information on the subject as curiosity will generally require, whether of students or amateurs; and pushes his enquiries as far back, not only as his predecessors, but also as his successors can ever go-to the origin of Music and of the world."

After a brief analysis of the contents of the several chapters, the Editor adds:-" Thus curious

9

and multifarious are the contents of these interesting volumes, which are throughout interspersed with musical examples; and, without pledging ourselves to all the opinions of Dr. Busby, we can cordially recommend the work both as instructive and entertaining; particularly to musical students, who, with a rapid and perhaps tasteful execution, often betray a sad ignorance both of the theory and history of their favourite art."-Philan. Gas.

By J. HASSEL. 8vo. 5s. boards.

"If the pages of this little volume are perused with attention, and the rules which it contains carefully adopted, the ingenious pupil will find that he can make considerable improvement without the aid of any other master. To assist the learner a Landscape is presented on three distinct sheets; the first is an outline, the second is shaded, and the third is coloured. These views will be found of essential service; they illustrate the description, and are illustrated by it."-Imperial Mag.
