By THOMAS DICK, LL.D., Author of " Celestial Scenery." &e. [This volume is a companion to Dr. DICK'S Ce/eSiitd SCeileey, whiicht treated of the planetary system. The subject of the present volume extends to the stars, and is somewhat similar to that of Dr. NiettoLs in his Architecture of the Heavens; but is handled in greater extent and detail, though with inferior skill. Dr. DICK has several purposes subsidiary to his main object. Ile wishes to impress the greatness of the creation and the power of the Creator upon the mind of the reader; to improve his morals, and astronomical notnenelature; and to do other things, which interfere very much with scientific exposition, loading his volume with extraneous matter, and wearying the attention of the reader before he reaches the principal subject.] A Manual ql Geohuly.

The publication appears to be under the superintendence of Dr. STEBBING, who is to furnish an In- troduction.] Letters of Illustrious Personages of Great Britain in perfect fie-simile; intended as self-exhibitions of the various characters in the series of British Portraits, with biographical and historical Memoirs by the late EDMUND LODGE, Esq., k.S A. Collected and copied by JosErri NETHERCLIFT. No. II.

This series of fac-similes of the manuscript writing of emi [ nent persons will

form a very curious work of itself, independently of its value as illustrating Lonns's Portraits; for, not to attribute undue importance to autographs as indications of character, they are significant of the habits of individuals, and serve also to exemplify the orthography, ealigraphy, and epistolary style of the times. Among the contents of this number are autograph letters of WOLSEY, CRANMER, Sir THOMAS MORE, MAnit Queen of Scots, and OLIVER CROM. 'KELL. They are all traced from the originals in the MS. collections of the British Museum, with pen and ink, on prepared paper, and transferred direct to the stone from which the impressions are printed ; and thus a degree of free- dom and exactness is insured to the fac-similes that is scarcely attainable by the most elaborate and skilful engraver working on metal by the process of reverse imitation.

PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS AND PRINTS.

Illustrations of British Costume. By LEOPOLD and CHARLES MARTIN. Part I.

[Etchings, in shaded outline, taking from limnings in ancient MSS., from paintings and other authentic records of the costumes of this country at va- rious periods, by two sons of Mr. MARTIN the painter. The execution is slight and free, though timidity occasionally restrains the hands of the young etchers. A want of due attention to the minuter details of the dress is observable here and there ; defects which would be fatal to the utility of the work if not re- medied, for drawings of costume should be so distinctly defined that garments could be made from them. The want of colour, too, is felt ; and letterpress descriptions of the rank of the parties, the stuffs used, and other explanatory particulars, are desirable. Of the five examples, two illustrate the lax costume Of the Cavaliers in CHARLES the First's time : and in the others, the hanging sleeves, turban-caps, and pointed hose of the earlier reigns, are represented : some female costumes are promised in the next number, and a chronologically arranged list at the end of the work.] Portrait of Charks Tennant, Esq. Painted by IL GEDDES, R.A.; en- graved by J. G. MuunAv, [This is Mr. TENNANT of St. Rollox, Glasgow ; of whom Pans has a capital statue. The figure is a three-quarter length, seated in an easy attitude ; and the head is remarkable for the union of firmness and benevolence of character, and an expression of reflective penetration. The likeness is said to be ex- cellent.
