WORKS PUBLISHED BY BRADBURY AND EVANS. VALUABLE WORKS OF REFERENCE, CONDUCTED BY CHARLES KNIGHT. These Works, perhaps forming the most valuable and comprehensive Works of Reference in the language, published as a whole under the title of "THE ENGLISH CYCLOPÆDIA," are founded upon the valuable Copyright of the PENNY CYCLOPÆDIA, which has always remained in the hands of Mr. KNIGHT. The elaborate revisions, with the large additions, of the present work, have involved a new outlay for literary labour of not less than Seven Thousand Pounds, making the cost of literary production alone not far short of Fifty Thousand Pounds. THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF BIOGRAPHY. Six Volumes, price 31., or bound in 3 Vols., half-morocco, 31. 12s. This Cyclopedia of Biography may, without presumption, be stated to be the most complete Biographical Dictionary extant; unequalled in any language for the universality of its range, its fulness without verbosity, its accuracy, and its completeness to the present time. It possesses the new and important feature of giving notices of living persons, English and foreign, of contemporary celebrity. These notices, and of eminent persons recently deceased, constitute a fourth of the whole work. The Six Volumes contain as much matter as Forty Octavo Volumes, such as those of the "Biographie Universelle; they exceed in quantity the Thirty-two Volumes of Chalmers' Biographical Dictionary." and Four of these Volumes are equal in extent to the Twelve Volumes of Rose's "Biographical Dictionary." No work of a similar nature approaches the English Cyclopædia of Biography in cheapness. "The cheapness and excellence of this Cyclopædia will secure to it wide circulation and a permanent position. The introduction of the names of living persons makes the work more valuable and attractive. The Cyclopædia is admirably written, and considering the very large number of mistakes usually found in the biographical dictionaries published in this country, will become remarkable for its correctness."-Examiner. THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF NATURAL HISTORY. In Four Volumes, price 21. 28., or bound in 2 Vols., half-morocco, 21. 108. This Cyclopædia includes the contributions of the most eminent English naturalists. In BOTANY, those of Dr. Lankester, Dr. Lindley, and Dr. Royle; in GEOLOGY, those of Sir Henry de la Beche, Mr. Horner, and Professor Phillips; in MINERALOGY, those of Mr. R. Phillips and Professor W. Turner; in ZOOLOGY, those of Mr. Broderip, Professor Forbes, Mr. Ogilby, and Mr. Waterhouse; in COMPARATIVE ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY, those of Mr. Day, Professor Paget, and Dr. Southwood Smith. To the general reader, this Cyclopædia, embracing the most interesting details of Natural History, presented in the most attractive form of scientific explanation, and illustrated with many hundreds of beautiful wood-engravings, will furnish a most desirable addition to his library. To the medical student the work is indispensable. "Opening the Natural History volumes we see that in the article Aquavivarium,' the rationale of the exhibition in the Zoological Gardens is given. In the article Dodo,' all the new and curious matter collected by the late Mr. Strickland is embodied in the admirable paper in the Penny by Mr. Broderip. Few things have been more remarkable than the progress of natural history research during the last twenty years, particularly in the lower departments of organised life, in which the microscope has revealed so much to us. The advance of knowledge has been accurately noted in the English Cyclopædia. In its predecessor, as discovery succeeded discovery, the writers were compelled to notice new matters under the name of species rather than of genera. The scattered portions are now all brought together. The bare mention of such names as Owen, Edward Forbes, Harvey, Huxley, Walknaer, as authorities in natural science, shows how much has to be stated which was not in the original work. A reference to the names of Liebig, Lehmann, Dr. Carpenter, and Professor Ansted, suggests how much there is of new and curious to be found in chemistry, physiology, and geology. Not to go beyond the first volume, the articles' Adipose Tissue,' Air Bladder,' 'Animal Kingdom,' 'Bile,' indicate how much has been done of late years in physiological research, and how much intelligent labour is required to render the information supplied to the purchaser of the Penny Cyclopadia of real use to the unscientific reader of the present time."-Times. WORKS PUBLISHED BY BRADBURY AND EVANS. THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF GEOGRAPHY. Four Volumes, price 21. 2s., or in 2 Vols., half-bound morocco, 21. 108. In this Cyclopædia, which embraces the physical features of every country, and the statistics of its departments, its cities and marts of commerce, as well as recording its history to the most recent period, the greatest care has been bestowed to give completeness to the valuable articles upon which this new work is founded. That care has not been confined to revision and correction. Many new articles have been intro duced, and many of the old ones supplied by others wholly re-written. The fulness and nonracy of the information thus furnished, render the Cyclopædia of Geography a necessary manual for every library and news-room; not presenting a dry catalogue of names of places, but furnish ing notices of general interest, and embracing whatever is now and important in Geographical science. "By common consent this 'CYCLOPEDIA OF GEOGRAPHY' seems to be an excellent work. It took its rise in the 'Penny Cyclopædia,' where the department of Geography was particularly well managed. All later discoveries, and the multitude of facts of all magnitudes revealed by our recent wars, and recorded by the penman of the camp and the ship, have been carefully incorporated with the work, and make it the richest we have."-Westminster Review, October, 1858.
