blessed by the same Almighty giver, cannot but be found salutary to all who drink of it. The Lord of all spiritual life grant to every individual of His mystical body an abundant entrance into His kingdom of glory, and prepare them for what He is preparing for them. So that, "whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."

AMEN.

THE NEW UNIVERSAL, ETYMOLOGICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND PRONOUNCING

DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,

EMBRACING ALL THE TERMS USED IN

ART, SCIENCE, AND LITERATURE,

Is in course of publication, in 1s. Monthly Parts. Part 33 was issued June 1st, 1848. The work will be completed in about 7 more parts, and will form 2 Handsome Volumes.

The rapid strides, made of late years, in the Arts, Sciences, and Manufactures, have occasioned the introduction into our language of a vast number of new words, some of them imported from various foreign languages, others coined to name new inventions or discoveries, to suit the ideas of the inventor. This extension of language renders all the Dictionaries extant incomplete, and, in a great degree, valueless: a new English Dictionary was, therefore, absolutely required,one which should embrace all that has been previously collected in our best Dictionaries, with the addition of a vast amount of new matter.

**The Publisher appeals with satisfaction to the opinions expressed by competent judges, as to the manner in which the want has been supplied.

"The work before us fills up a decided desideratum in the English Language. He would indeed be most unreasonable who did not own the debt due to the author in giving us the singular information of the Traveller, the deep learning of the Divine, the curious play of the Philologists, the succinct definitions of the Mathematician, the technical terms of the Manufacturer, the terminology of the Naturalist, the newly-formed instruments of the Musician, the gentle science of the Herald, and the abstruse information of the Physiologist."-New Quarterly Review, January, 1847.

"This Dictionary, so extensive in design, and useful in application, deserves on that account especial notice. It fulfils its object with efficiency: its utility must strongly recommend it."-Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.

"This is a truly valuable publication, embracing all the terms used in the Sciences and Natural History, with a large number of the obsolete words occurring in our old standard authors, with appropriate quotations, along with the derivation and proper pronunciation. Such a work has been long called for, and from the manner in which it is produced, and its cheapness, it must have an extensive sale."-Art-Union Monthly Journal.

"It is not merely a Dictionary, but it presents us with many of the features of an Encyclopedia, retaining at the same time the compactness of a Dictionary. The author has performed his duty carefully and skilfully. It is an elaborate English Dictionary, complete to the present time."-Banker's Magazine.

"A new and valuable work; the task has been undertaken by one quite competent to carry the undertaking to a successful issue. The enter a good one, and deserves support."—Dispatch.

It may be useful to teachers to know, that the first twelve of these Maps are those of which "Collins's Constructive Maps are the Outlines" (North and South India being united, and reckoning as one map in the Constructive Maps); and the maps marked (*) are those which compose "The College Atlas."

COLLINS'S CONSTRUCTIVE MAPS,

In Two Series of 12 Maps each.-Each Series, 1s. 6d. This method of imparting Geographical information is based on the recognized principle, that knowledge is impressed on the mind much more indelibly by studies of construction than by verbal repetitions. This is a fundamental principle in all systems of education; and the very low price at which these Constructive Maps are offered, removes the great impediment which has hitherto existed to this mode of teaching. Each Map is accompanied by an Index to the principal places which are to be inserted in it, with the Latitude and Longitude of each place, so that the pupil may fill up his Map, and then compare it with flo corresponding one in "The College Atlas."

CHRIST THE END OF THE LAW, Being CALVIN'S PREFACE TO THE BIBLE; now first rendered into English, and printed in Illuminated Church Text.

THE PRACTICAL GRAMMAR,
BY THOMAS WEEDON, Esq.

A PLAIN, CONCISE, AND COMMON-SENSE VIEW OF ENGLISH
ᏀᎡᎪᎷᎷᎪᎡ,

Especially adapted for the instruction of those who find the disadvantages under which they labour, from the imperfect manner in which Grammar is, at present, taught at Schools.

"Some French writers have asserted that errors in Grammar arise from confusion of ideas, left uncorrected by habit. Mr. Weedon's little philosophical treatise has reminded us of this assertion, inasmuch as that gentleman not only gives rules, but addresses himself to the intellect of the student, furnishing him with new ideas, and enabling him to erase old ones. It is the antipodes of that Grammar-made-difficult of our school-days, by Lindley Murray.”—Church and State Gazette... ́
