DICTIONARY, Practical, Theoretical, and Historical, of COMMERCE and COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION. Illustrated with Maps and Plans. With a NEW and ENLARGED SUPPLEMENT, bringing down the information contained in the work to Dec. 1838. By J. R. M'CULLOCH, Esq. A New Edition, corrected and improved, 1 closely and beautifully-printed 8vo. vol. containing nearly 1400 pages, 50s. boards.-Nearly ready.

In this edition all the more important returns and accounts as to the TRADE, NAVIGATION, and CONSUMPTION of this and other countries, have been brought down to the latest period. In some instances, too, the form of the returns has been changed, and new ones drawn up on a more comprehensive plan, and embracing various additional particulars, have been substituted for those previously embodied in the work. In illustration of this the reader is referred to the Tables now given under the article IMPORTS and EXPORTS; they will, it is believed, be found to contain, within a brief space, the completest view hitherto laid before the public of the recent trade of the British Empire. A few new articles have also been inserted. among which may be specified those on Bombay, Malta, &c.

The present SUPPLEMENT has been greatly enlarged, and, it is hoped, materially improved. It contains as much matter as would fill, if printed with types of a medium size, a large octavo volume, and embraces a good deal of important information not elsewhere to be met with. We can assure the reader that neither labour nor expense has been spared to render it instructive and trustworthy. It embodies the substance of the former Supplements, and has, among others, articles on the following subjects: viz.

Austrian Tariff, and New Commercial Treaty with Austria.

THE EXILE from EDEN; or, Meditations Joint-Stock Banks and Banking, embracing a complete

BALL'S

Graphic Library for Domestic Enstruction.

DOMESTIC INSTRUCTION is universally acknowledged to be of the highest importance, both personal and social. Conducted on Christian principles, it has ever been the means of forming the most virtuous and useful characters. General history concurs with the Holy Scriptures in supporting this representation; and it must necessarily be founded in truth, because such is the wise and gracious ordination of God. Domestic Instruction, therefore, needs the choicest materials for its assistance; and to prepare these the most powerful claim may be made upon the best consideration of the patriot, the philosopher, and the Christian. Education, to accomplish its professed design, must be religious: and a religious education, to secure its moral advantages and its imperishable blessings, must be based upon the BIBLE. Such is the universal sentiment of all believers in the Divine Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. Christian Parents, in our favoured times, possess a thousand advantages, which were unknown forty, or even twenty years ago, to aid them in carrying on their plans of education; but, notwithstanding the multiplication of new works in every department of knowledge, there is still felt to be a deficiency of good religious books adapted for domestic instruction.

Graphic Illustrations are now universally acknowledged to be desirable, as amongst the most rational and efficient means of mental improvement, and these are found to be peculiarly valuable in promoting religious instruction. Divine Revelation receives many of its most splendid evidences from the continued existence of ancient monumental remains: and their exhibition to the population of the Western regions, by the ingenuity of our artists, in

confirmation of Christianity,-like the mysterious preservation of the Jews, as a distinct and separate people,appears to have been one reason of their preservation by the same infinitely wise and Almighty Providence!

Oriental Customs also, described and delineated in every page of the Sacred Scriptures, have now become familiar to our recent intelligent travellers and missionaries in Egypt, Arabia, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, India, &c. &c. Past stores, therefore, the accumulations of ages, yet unused, at least, for the benefit of the multitude, lie at the command of the Christian artist, to furnish the theologian with illustrations in expounding more clearly the sublime and saving doctrines of the Word of God.

"BALL'S GRAPHIC LIBRARY FOR DOMESTIC INSTRUC TION" designs to supply some of the deficiencies thus acknowledged, making use of ample materials which have been collected for this purpose. Sacred Biography, Biblical Antiquities and Geography, &c. &c. will form || some of the earliest subjects contemplated in this series, embracing most of the nobler branches of Christian knowledge; while topography and paper, in their most improved state, and wood-engraving in its advanced state of perfection, will be employed to enrich these works, their elegance, beauty, and religious excellency, for which a confident reference is made to the "LIFE OF CHRIST ILLUSTRATED," as a specimen,-it is presumed, will secure, according to their merit, the patronage of every Christian Family in the BRITISH EMPIRE.

Each volume will be complete in itself, and the size and price will vary according to the subject.

THE FIRST PART, PRICE 2s. 6d.

COMMENCING

THE LIFE OF CHRIST ILLUSTRATED,
(To be completed in Six Parts,) will be published on the 28th instant.

CHRISTIANITY is seen illustrated in its perfect excellency
only in the Life of our blessed Lord and Saviour. His
wonderful character, as the "Holy One of God," must be
contemplated as a paramount duty, and it will be, with
supreme delight, by every Christian.

Divine Goodness has supplied abundant materials for this transforming exercise, in the four Gospels, written by the Evangelists; and these inspired volumes are composed in a style worthy of their heavenly origin, and adapted to the capacities of all classes of society. Hence their unparalleled variety of incident, and the powerful instruction afforded by the extraordinary details of the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ.

Bishop Jeremy Taylor, Dr. Fleetwood, Dr. Wright, Dr. Malham, and other distinguished Divines, have laboured worthily in compiling from the writings of the Four Evangelists, Harmonies of the history of our Saviour; and the large success those works have enjoyed, has evidenced in the religious world, the existence of an almost

universal desire to possess, as a sacred household volume, a copy of the "Life of Christ."

Every upright mind will cheerfully acknowledge the instructiveness of these excellent works: but no intelligent judicious Christian will pretend that either of them is perfect;-or so complete as to supersede any further attempt to illustrate the Character, Ministry, and Virtues! of the Divine Founder of our religion. Without referring in this place to the deficiencies of these compilations, it presumed that there is not only room for a new work of this class, but that in the present state of the Arts, and in the peculiar circumstances of Great Britain, there exists a demand for a "LIFE OF CHRIST ILLUSTRATED," which none of these publications meet.

The Proprietors have therefore determined on the production of a work, in which both the pen and the pencil shall equally combine to exhibit the character of our Lord and Saviour in the following order :

1.-THE EXALTATION OF CHRIST.
II.—THE HUMILIATION OF CHRIST.
III.—THE MIRACLES OF CHRIST.
IV. THE DISCOURSES OF CHRIST.
V. THE PARABLES OF CHRIST.
VI.-THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST.

The Text will consist of the words of the authorized | version of the Sacred narrative, with a Commentary of the choicest and most beautiful passages selected from the writings of about one hundred celebrated Divines of every Christian denomination; and the Cuts, taken from the greatest works of the ancient and modern masters, will be drawn, engraved, and printed in a style of art which, it is confidently hoped, will be in advance of our beautiful and improving pictorial contemporaries, and which shall be worthy of the great subject of our illustrations. The com

plete work will contain eighty-four engravings: thirty-six representing the grand incidents of "The Life," and forty-eight head and tail-pieces. The "Life of Christ Illustrated" will thus for the first time associate the noblest productions of fine art with the brightest gems of Sacred literature, and together form a Family Book, equally adapted for the drawing room, the closet, and the sick chainber of the Christian.

This work will be completed in six parts, forming one handsome volume. (265)
