BOOKS LATELY PUBLISHED BY

ADAM BLACK, EDINBURGH, AND LONGMAN, REES, ORME, BROWN, & GREEN LONDON.

A SYSTEM of UNIVERSAL GEOGRAPHY, by M. MALTE-BRUN, Editor of the "Annales
des Voyages," &c. Parts I. to XII. price 7s. 6d. each. To be completed in
Fourteen Parts.

The Publishers are extremely happy to be able to state, that,
notwithstanding the lamented death of M. Malte-Brun, the remainder of this
great work, comprising the description of WESTERN EUROPE, will be
completed in a style every way worthy of what has been already executed.
The papers and collections of M. Malte-Brun have been placed in the hands
of M. Valcknaer, with whose numerous and valuable contributions to
geographical science the scientific portion of the public have been long
and familiarly acquainted. M. Balbi, the celebrated author of the _Essai
Statistique sur le Royaume de Portugal_, has undertaken to superintend and
complete that portion of the work which relates to Italy, Spain, and
Portugal. There can, therefore, be no doubt, that the high and established
character of the Original Work will be maintained to its close; and the
British Public may be assured, that no efforts will be spared to render
the Translation, now in course of publication, not only equal, but even
superior, to the original. The account of the British Empire will be
carefully revised, and, if necessary, re-written by gentlemen who are
extremely well versed in statistical inquiries. The reports and papers
printed by order of the House of Commons will be referred to for every
fact of importance; and the Publishers believe that they may venture to
say, that the account which will be given in this work of the
Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce of Great Britain, will be
decidedly superior to any that has hitherto appeared.

The account of the United States, given in the Translation, is an entirely
_original composition_; and it is admitted by the Americans themselves, to
contain the most able, comprehensive, and luminous account of that
powerful confederacy that has ever been published.

    "M. MALTE-BRUN is probably known to most of our readers as the author
    of a systematic work on Geography. He is, besides, the editor of a
    periodical digest, under the title of _Nouvelles Annales des Voyages
    de la Geographie et de l'Histoire_; the first as much superior to the
