OPINIONS of the EUROPEAN PRESS on the EASTERN QUESTION. Translated or Extracted from Turkish, German, French, and English Papers, and Reviews. By DAVID ROSS, of Bladensburgh, Esq.

"* * * The papers from the '_Moniteur Ottoman_,' in the volume before us, would produce no discredit to our English Journals; they come to us with the strong impress of feeling, and conviction, and truth. We recommend these papers to the special attention of our readers, and we repeat our hopes and our wishes, that the whole contents of this important volume will not remain unexplored by our fellow countrymen."--_Scots Times_.

"These translations and extracts consist of some of the best Essays and Papers that have been written since the commencement of the year 1835, on the designs of Russia, the conditions and prospects of Turkey, and the power, as well as duties, belonging to certain of the great European kingdoms--England especially, to check the encroachments of the Northern Autocrat. The Editor, from his preface and notes, seems to have been a resident in Turkey for a considerable time, and to possess a thorough acquaintance with the Eastern question. We believe that the works which have been given to the world, on the Eastern question, by the publishers of the present volume, have greatly, nay mainly contributed to the dissemination of sound views on this great subject; nor can we doubt of those collected translations and extracts, so well chosen and edited as they are, tending still further to enlighten the mind and invigorate the arm of England in behalf of freedom and justice, and to the effectual checking of the despot's ambition."--_Monthly Review_.

ENGLAND and RUSSIA, being a Fifth Edition of England, France, Russia, and Turkey, revised and enlarged, 4_s._ 6_d._ boards.

"The action of Russia on Turkey--the treaty of Adrianople, of Unkiar Skelessi--the convention of St. Petersburgh, have been so completely laid bare, in 'England, France, Russia, and Turkey,' that we need offer no remark on the subject; no attempt has been made to controvert any of its positions; no doubt seems even to remain as to their truth. That essay is too succinct to admit of useful citation; it cannot be analysed, because it is itself a condensed analysis of an overwhelming subject. We must content ourselves with urging it on our reader's attention."--_British and Foreign Review_, No. I.

"The effect of this publication on opinion in England, is, perhaps unparalleled. The question interests now, because rendered intelligible."--_Foreign Quarterly Review_, No. XXX.

PHENOMENA OF THE EARTH.

In One Volume, post 8vo. 427 pages, with two Plates, 7_s._

THE REVOLUTIONS OF THE GLOBE FAMILIARLY DESCRIBED: By ALEXANDER BERTRAND, M.D. &c. &c. &c.

The above work, it is hoped, will prove to the general reader in this department of science what Dr. Lindley's "Ladies' Botany" is doing for that delightful pursuit.

"'The Revolutions of the Globe,' by Dr. Bertrand, is one of the most agreeable we have met with. The object of the Author is to convey to the idlest and least learned reader an idea of the wonders of Geology. To accomplish his intention in a manner which requires the easiest, and admits with propriety of the most trifling mode of treatment, he addresses his nineteen letters to a lady. This matter consists of the striking facts of Geology, rather than of a view of the principles, or a statement of the evidence, on which they rest. His manner of discussion will be best shown by some specimens. The surface of the globe is not a new subject; yet see how interesting our author makes it."--_Spectator, January 31._

THE CARTOONS OF RAPHAEL.

Second Edition, in 8vo. 8_s._ 6_d._ cloth boards.

CARTONENSIA; or an Historical and Critical Account of the Tapestries in the Vatican; copied from the designs of Raphael of Urbino, and of such of the Cartoons whence they were woven, as are now in preservation. With Notes and Illustrations. To which are subjoined, Remarks on the Causes which retard the progress of the higher departments of Paintings in this country. By the Rev. W. GUNN, B.D. Second Edition, with Additions.

"Mr. Gunn's commentary upon this beautiful production (the Nativity) is well written, and contains canons of criticism which we conceive to be in the most correct taste.... Indeed we would strongly recommend 'Cartonensia' to general attention. It bears about it all the marks of a liberal and accomplished mind, cordially devoted to the prosperity of the fine arts; and we trust that its criticisms, founded, as they generally are, in good sense, and always elegantly expressed, will exercise a salutary influence upon the public taste."--_Monthly Review._

"In dismissing this work, we would recommend it most cordially to our friends. The artist will find much information, coupled with much admirable advice, in its pages, while the general reader will be amused with its details, and instructed by the remarks, both historical and theological, which he will meet with in perusing it. Mr. Gunn is a man of much critical acumen, softened down and polished by his gentlemanly feelings, and amiable spirit; and we think that few will arise from his book without sensations of gratitude for his labours in its compilation, and of satisfaction for the information he so pleasingly communicates."--_Arnold's Magazine of the Fine Arts_.

NEW POEM.

In 8vo. 6_s._ 6_d._, cloth boards.

ALFRED THE GREAT. A Poem. By G. L. NEWNHAM COLLINGWOOD, Esq., Editor of the '_Life and Correspondence of Admiral Lord Collingwood._'

"At any other time than the present, when the tide of literary taste is running against poetry of the severely heroic character, the appearance of such a work as 'Alfred the Great' would have excited a general interest, and ensured the author a high place among the writers of his country. * * * We may add that the interest of the poem never flags, and has the additional merit of keeping pace with the progress of the story from its commencement to its conclusion."--_New Monthly Mag., August 1._

* * * * *

PERSONAL SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING, &c. 1_s._

WHAT IS A COMET, PAPA? or, a familiar Description of Comets; more particularly HALLEY'S COMET. To which is prefixed, a CONCISE ACCOUNT OF THE OTHER HEAVENLY BODIES. By ROSINA MARIA ZORNLIN.

"A timely question, answered after the German fashion, by telling plainly, 'all, how, and about it.' The first, a conversation among a family of clever children, the boy relating the leading truths of Astronomy to his sisters, while they are waiting the return of their parents: the second part is papa's own account of the passing Comet, in answer to the question which forms the title. Both are very well done, and the authoress deserves great credit for the thought and its realization."--_Atlas, August 28._

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE; or, The Two Almanacs; containing more Inquiries in Astronomy. Plate and Diagrams, 1_s._; or 1_s._ 6_d._ bound and coloured.
