HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY,

A COMPANION TO THE PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE.

Embellished with Engravings of the Armorial Bearings of each Family, Portraits, &c. t: These two volumes comprise Accounts of about 800 eminent Families, and of upwards of 20,000 Individuals connected with them.

"The want of a work of this nature, furnishing an account of all the families constituting the Gentry of the United Kingdom, had long been extensively felt and acknowledged."-Preface. "This is a book of the deepest interest, and containing, indeed, so vast a portion of family history as perhaps the annals of no other country could produce. Besides the descents, intermarriages, and armorial bearings of every family, it contains the most memorable actions of persons who have distinguished themselves, intermixed with curious anecdotes."-Globe.

A Collection of the best Works of Fiction,

DISTINGUISHED LIVING ENGLISH WRITERS,

The Copyrights of which being the exclusive property of Mr. Colburn, they cannot appear in any other collection.

The Proprietor of the Series here announced having had the good fortune to publish, during the last twenty years, a very large proportion of the most masterly works in the department of Fiction, such as have become incorporated with the Literature of the Country, is obviously placed in the most favourable position for an undertaking on the plan referred to; and he has determined to avail himself of it accordingly, tak ing scrupulous care that no composition of inferior and ephemeral character shall be admitted into the Collection, but that those works alone which have received the stamp of unequivocal public approbation, and which may be read from time to time with still recurring pleasure and profit, shall constitute the Series.

To the first two specimens of the Work, comprising

MR. BULWER'S " PELHAM,"

the Proprietor respectfully, but confidently refers, as indicating-in the beauty and accuracy of the typography, in the style and finish of the engraved embellishments, and in the neat grace of the exterior-what he designs to accomplish in this undertaking.

The March Number consists of LADY MORGAN's celebrated Irish National Tale, called

"O'DONNEL."

The three volumes in one, with a Portrait and Vignette. This will be succeeded by MR. WARD'S "TREMAINE," AND "DE VERE;"

MR. BULWER'S "DISOWNED," AND " DEVEREUX," &c.

Other works of standard celebrity will follow in regular succession; and each Novel will be completed, whenever possible, in a single volume, with new Prefaces, Corrections, and occasional Notes, by the several Authors, expressly made for this Collection.

Treatise on Colours and Pigments, ASTHMA, its SPECIES and

and of their Powers in Painting, &c. By GEORGE FIELD, Author of "Chromatics; or an Essay on the Analogy and Harmony of Colours;" and other works.

The principal object of this work is to disclose the chemical, mechanical, and pictorial effects and properties of the various colours, pigments, and vehicles employed in Painting, so far as may be essential to the artist, as a guide to their choice and application in practice. The work will be found of the greatest use to artists and artists' colourmen. It is essentially practical, and contains a complete summary of the Author's experience in chromatic science.

As very few copies beyond those already ordered have been printed, an early application will be necessary.
