Id One Volume, post 8vo, price bt., THE EAST INDIA VOYAGER; or, Ten Minutes' Advice to the Outward-bound. By Emma Roberts. " The manner of the * East India Voyager' is as agreeable as its matter is cnriously instructive. To the general reader many of the facts will seem minute, but looking at the persons for whom the volume is primarily designed, this is a necessitj and a merit.'' Spectator, August 3. " This work is of a very superior class to Williamson's, or even the celebrated Dr. Gilchrist's ' Vade Mecum.' It gives excellent instruction to the ' Outwardbound griffins,' and we recommend the book to their especial notice. Whether cadet or civilian, the reader will find a vast quantity of useful information on those very points on which he most needs it, because they are points which every one ia supposed to know something about, and yet in fact knows nothing, till too late to profit by knowledge. The directions in the ' East India Voyager' are excellent. With Miss Roberts's book in band, we cannot fancy a more agreeable mode of passing the tedious voyage out." Naval and Military Gazette.

In One Volume, 8vo, price 7*. 6d,, MEMOIR on the COUNTRIES about the CASPIAN and ARAL SEAS, illustrative of the late Russian Expedition against Khiva. Translated from the German. By Captain Morier, R.N. With a Map by John Arrowsmith.

" This is purely a scientific work, treated in a scientific manner, and as unlike the flashy, unsatisfactory, and ephemeral tours that are abundantly published, as light is to darkness. This book contains facts valuable to all ages, and is a sort of landmark by which to note that silent progress of alternation which is slowly changing the face of the crust of this globe. This book, though a small one, is eminently deserving of a conspicuous station in all well-provided libraries, and we recommend it also to the attention of the general reader.'' Metropolitan, March.

In small folio, containing as much matter as an ordinary sized 8vo Tolame, with nearly 100 wood-cut?, price 1#. 6d., ANCIENT EGYPT; her Monuments, Hieroglyphics, History, and Archaeology, and other subjects connected with Hieroglyphical Literature. By George R. Gliddon, late U. S. Consul at Cairo.
