By a LADY.

"This is really one of the most practically useful books of any which we have seen on the subject. The Lady, who has written it, has not studied how to form expensive articles for luxurious tables, but to combine elegance with economy; she has given her directions in a plain, sensible manner, that every body can understand; and these are confined not merely to cookery, but are extended to a variety of objects in use in families; by which means the utility of the book is very much increased indeed."-British Critic.

Poets of England, France, Germany, and Italy, in the Original Languages; beautifully printed in Gold. Edited by J. MACRAY, Author of "Stray Leaves," &c.

"Among the other elegant little volumes which, at this period of the year, court attention as appropriate Christmas or Newyear's gifts, is one, newly started, of a unique and peculiarly interesting nature. This novelty is intitled The Golden Lyre;' and contains specimens of the most popular poetry of the four great European countries-England, France, Germany, and Italy -printed in the original languages, and altogether in gold. The effect of this singular species of typography is very splendid: its peculiarity renders it additionally attractive; and the care bestowed on the selections is in character with that evidently required on the part of the printer-we had almost said engraver, for every page looks like a separate blazon," &c. &c. "The selections from Italian authors close the work, which has thus all the combined charm of novelty, variety, sweetness, and brevity."-Literary Gazette of 15th Nov.

in January 1739, and it continued to exist, with various acceptance by the public, until June 1826, when it expired, not merely as a separate publication, but in spirit as well as in form. Its place has not since been supplied.

It is peculiarly agreeable to those who have undertaken the task to be assured, that the "NEW SCOTS MAGAZINE" will not come into rivalship with any other periodical work now published in Scot! nd. Its main object is to embody, in an unexpensive and convenient form, the annals of our times, and especially those of our own country. The last volume of the Edinburgh Annual Register was for the year 1826. The purposes, therefore, with which the "NEW SCOTS MAGAZINE" has been established, is to supply the void created by the cessation of that work, and of the former Scots Magazine. It will be published once a-fortnight; it will contain in each number about as much letter-press as the ordinary matter of two newspapers, and will embrace

1st, A Historical Register of the Leading Events for the Period betwixt the publication of each number.

2d, Important Public Documents, such as treaties, manifestoes, proclamations, and other authentic muniments, which constitute the most valuable materials of history.

5. HISTORY of the REBELLIONS in IRELAND in the years 1798 and 1803.

the High Court of Justiciary, on Wednesday the 24th December ultimo, for the MURDER of MARGERY CAMPBELL, under the most peculiar Circumstances, will be published with the utmost possible dispatch consistent with the accuracy required.

The Report will be accompanied by a PREFACE, written expressly for this Publication, by a Gentleman of high literary acquirements, which, it is presumed, will excite intense interest. Lithographic PORTRAITS of the Panels (from correct sketches taken in Court by D. M NEE, and printed by R. H. NIMMO) will also be prefixed; and, from the arrangements made by the publishers, they are confident that their account of the Trial will be found more full and accurate than any other.
