Among periodicals, we must reckon the Van Diemen's Land Almanack

for i32; which we have received from that distant co- lony. We can say this—that it is a thousand times superior to any almanack published in England prior to the years in which the Diffusion of Knowledge Society took up the subject. The history of the Colony is particularly well written, and brought up to the present time : we advise emigrants proceeding to that country to take it with them as a compagnon de voyage. 'I he agents for its publication here are SMITH and ELDER.
