CODICIL.-This is a Codicil to the last will and testament of me, the Right Honourable George Gordon, Lord Byron. I give and bequeath unto Allegra Biron, an infant of about twenty months old, by me brought up, and now residing at Venice, the sum of five thousand pounds, which I direct the executors of my said will to pay to her on her attaining the age of twenty-one years, or on the day of her marriage, on condition that she does not marry with a native of Great Britain, which shall first happen. And I direct my said executors, as soon as conveniently may be after my decease, to invest the said sum of five thousand pounds upon government or real security, and to pay and apply the annual income thereof in or towards the maintenance and education of the said Allegra Biron, until she attains her said age of twenty-one years, or shall be married as aforesaid; but in case she shall die before attaining the said age and without having been married, then I direct the said sum of five thousand pounds to become part of the residue of my personal estate, and in all other respects I do confirm my said will, and declare this to be a codicil thereto. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Venice, this 17th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1818.

BYRON (L. S.)

Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the said Lord Byron, as and for a codicil to his will, in the presence of us, who, in his presence, at his request, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses.

in the United States.

THE HISTORICAL WORKS of the Rev. WILLIAM ROBERTSON, D.D.; comprising his HISTORY of AMERICA; CHARLES V.; SCOTLAND, and INDIA. In 3 vols. 8vo. Embellished with Plates. (Stereotyped.)

Harper's edition of these valuable standard works is far superior, in every respect, to any other edition ever published in this country; and is to be preferred to Jones's University edition, as the type is larger, the printing and paper are equally good, and they are sold for less than the cash price of that condensed edition. Each volume is a separate history in itself; and may be purchased separately, or bound uniformly with the other volumes in sets.

GIBBON'S HISTORY of the DECLINE and FALL of the ROMAN EMPIRE. In 4 vols. 8vo. With Plates.

Harper's edition of Gibbon's History is stereotyped, and great care has been taken to render it correct and perfect. The dates originally introduced by the Author are preserved in the Tables of Contents prefixed to the Volumes, and also imbodied in the text. This will render the present edition decidedly preferable to the English edition in four volumes, as in the latter the dates and Tables of Contents are entirely omitted.
