Dod, Esq., Author of "The Parliamentary Companion," &c.

[Mr. Dod goes on advancing his Peerage by new features, as well as im- proving the old. The birthplace of great men excites curiosity or interest ; why not, argues Mr. Dod, the birthplace of men of title? so, in this twelfth volume, an attempt has been made to ascertain and record the birthplace of every person who is the possessor or the next heir of any title of honour." Widows, again, whose husbands' titles have ceased to be, like those of knights., or those of baronets who were the last of their race, find a place for the first time in the book of honour. -Besides these novelties, " pallida more," or promotions—and the one is often connected with the other—have given rise to many changes, which are duly chronicled, even to the late change in the Foreign Office. Mr. Dod's book is evintly the Peerage.]

Court, Parliament, and Public Offices, at home and in the Colonies, are presented in their leading persona.

Designed and etched by Watts Phillips. t is scarcely necessary to say that the Joneses kept house in considerable discomfort, Of course, their house itself was lath-and-plaster, their cheap furniture a take-in, their chimnies smoked, the policeman accommodated himself in their kitchen, and Jones's mother-in-law was the death's-head of the establishment. Mr. Watts Phillips's invention in the concoction and presentment of such drawbacks to married happiness is of the ordinary kind.]
