F.R.S. GEORGE SHAW, M.D. F.R.S. F.L.S. In 18 Volumes 4to. Price, in boards, 371. 16s. It has been a principal object with the Editors of this Abridgement, to render it, as nearly as possible, a faithful representative of the Original, No Papers are omitted but such as, being merely of a temporary nature, were become entirely useless; and those which, having been reprinted in an improved form, in the Works of their respective authours, may be there consulted with more advantage. Those which are written in foreign languages are translated, except the few which, from the nature of the subject, there would be an impropriety in giving in English. To each volume there are two Tables of Contents: one corresponding with the numbers as printed; the other exhibiting the different subjects classed under their respective heads. The work concludes with a very copious Index. Short Biographical Memoirs of the principal contributors to the Transactions are given in the form of Notes; and, as these are numerous, they cannot fail to be an interesting and useful feature of the present Abridgement. A few copies are elegantly printed on a royal paper, price 31. 12s. per volume. THE EDINBURGH ENCYCLOPÆDIA; or Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature, conducted by DAVID BREWSTER, LE.D. F.R.S. & A.S.E. To be completed in Fifteen Volumes 4to. Price, 11. 165. each. Of this Work the first half of the third Volume is already published. The Proprietors, anxiously desirous of confining their work to twelve or fifteen volumes, think it necessary to explain the means by which they expect to accomplish this object without any injurious condensation. It must be obvious to every intelligent reader, that in works of this kind a great deal of uninteresting matter is often inserted, to the exclusion, or improper abridgement, of more valuable information. By omitting the definition of words, with which other Encyclopædias have been uselessly loaded; by rejecting the geography of insignificant mountains, rivers, and villages, and the names of obscure or forgotten individuals, they will be enabled to make room for many new articles of useful information, and to give the leading branches of Science as fully as their importance may demand. Wherever articles are unavoidably abridged, this defect shall be carefully supplied by copious references to the transactions of learned Academies, and to the best works both foreign and domestic. From particular arrangements, the Conductors will be enabled to execute this part of their plan with unusual accuracy; and expect to produce a list of references, more copious and correct than any which has hitherto been given to the public.
