NEW SERIES OF LONDON.'

A new Series at 1s. each, developing in Ten Sectional Divisions, for the convenience of the Industrial Classes,

THE METROPOLIS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD,

Described and elucidated by an Exposition of its History and Antiquities:

INCLUDING

The History of the Corporation of the ancient City of London-its Arts, Trade, and Commerce-its Architecture, Club-Houses, Docks, Picture Galleries, Scientific Institutions and Public Libraries, Astronomical Observatories in and near London, and other interesting and useful information, amply described and illustrated.

The following opinion of the whole combined as a volume has been expressed by a periodical of the highest standard, devoted to literature and the arts:

"A volume of nearly a thousand closely printed pages descriptive of everything that can interest the stranger or the resident, profusely embellished with more than two hundred carefully executed wood-cuts of the principal points of interest in its thoroughfares, and a newly constructed Map by Mr. Lowry, cannot be otherwise than acceptable to the mass of visitors to the Metropolis at the present time. When we add that all this is produced at an exceedingly moderate cost, we cannot but feel that Mr. Weale's work was suggested by higher than mere trade notions,-by a wish, in fact, to be serviceable to all who wanted such services. Throughout we trace a careful desire to be accurate and a freedom from a mere common-place laudation of certain pet places which are stereotyped for praise, such as the view from Richmond Hill and other localities. With such a book as this none but the hypercritical could be dissatisfied. In going over so large a field, and the vast amount of pains taken, the insignificance of a few slips of the pen render them venial. We cannot but feel the superiority of a work of this kind to some more ambitious hand-books, which are made up by a paste-and-scissors process, with an abundance of quotations from old books, containing mere nominal allusions to places and things, void of all interest but that which the philosophical inquirer may need in noting the misdirected ingenuity of the compiler. Mr. Weale's book takes a higher position than these, and he is justly entitled to higher reward. His volume is a sensible and useful guide."-Art-Union Journal, Sept. 1851.
