THE FAMILY LIBRARY, No. VIII. (being the COURT and CAMP of BUONAPARTE,) is In 3 vols. post 8vo. OLDCOURT, A NOVEL. "A book of great intelligence and merit."-Literary Gazette. "This romance is the work of a very able pen. The characters are strongly, we had almost said pictorially conceived; and the thoughts are condensed and masculine. The story details the loves and sorrows of an Irish beauty, Grace Oldeourt, whose heart has been bewildered by the showy qualities of an Irish soldier, Sir Walter D'Arcy, the last relic of a long line of Irish fox-hunters, and inheriting all their habits of carelessness and luxury, their gallantry," &c.-Court Journal. HENRY COLBURN and RICHARD BENTLEY, London; and sold by BELL and BRADFUTE, NO, 6, Bank Street, Edinburgh. In 3 yols, post 8vo, 28s. 6d. An immense popularity may be expected for these volumes: nothing in its way could be better than the design of the work. There is no event in the records of either ancient or modern history so pregnant with the fate of nations and of individuals as the battle of Waterloo, Among the numerous hosts engaged, there was scarcely a man who did not feel a more than ordinary solicitude as to the catastrophe. In chronicling the grand drama, history can only recount the main incidents, while by far the most interesting portions, name ly, the detail of private achievement, of private feeling, and of private suffering, is passed over, or consigned to the biographer or the novelist. The author before us unites these two qualifications, and has constructed a series of stories, of which it may not be too much to say, that they will, on account of their subject and their power of narration, be read again and again, like those famous legends to which the battle of Cressy and Agincourt have given immortality."Morning Paper.

NAPIER. MODE AND TERMS OF PUBLICATION. I. By augmenting the contents of the page, but without decreasing the size of the type, the work, while much improved in appearance, will be comprised, notwithstanding the great extension of its matter, in Twenty Quarto Volumes, handsomely printed on paper of a superior quality, twenty volumes of the present being nearly Sequal to twenty-four of the former Editions. Each volume will consist of 800 pages, containing a much greater quantity of matter than any similar publication; and the Proprietors hold themselves distinctly pledged to the Public, that the work shall not, on any account, exceed Twenty-One Volumes: their present confident belief, at the same, time, being that it will be completed in Twenty. TAL T II. The publication will proceed in Monthly Parts, of which Six will form a volume; each part thus averaging above 133 pages. The first part will be published on the first of March 1830. As the printing of the whole will be finished long before the expiration of the period required for issuing the successive Monthly Parts, the Subseribers will have the option, at the close of that operation, of completing at once their copies of the work, or of abiding by the publication in Parts till the end of the series. III. Each Part will be sold for Six Shillings, thus making the price of a quarto volume, of 800 ample pages, only Thirty-Six Shillings-a price very considerably lower than that of any similar publication of the day; and which, when the quantity of Matter in each Volume, the quality of Paper and Printing, the numerous Engravings, and the ability of the Articles, are taken into account, must be allowed to place the work in a highly advantageous point of view. Considering its Execution and Extent, it will, indeed, present the cheapest Digest of Human Knowledge that has yet appeared in BriED tain, in the convenient form of a Dictionary. rat Printed for ADAM BLACK, Edinburgh.

"The observations on climate, diet, regimen, and the management of infants, are interesting and judicious,-they comprise all the best established information on the subject. To parents, and those who have the superintendance of children, this work must be a useful guide; in all respects, indeed, the Dictionary of Dr Macaulay is calculated to gratify rational curiosity, to enlighten the minds of the public in general on medical subjects, and to dffuse correct notions on many topics which are too often disguised in technicalities, or debased by superstition. It is, above all, an excellent antidote to every species of quackery and empiricism."-Edinburgh Medical Journal, No. 96.
