(921) This day, November 15th, THE LITERARY GAZETTE IS ENLARGED FOR THE PURPOSES OF Science, Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama. THE HE PROPRIETORS of "THE LITERARY GAZETTE," impressed with a conviction that it was not possible to treat efficiently of Literature, Science, Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama, within the limits of a paper of sixteen pages, resolved, at the commencement of their undertaking in January last, to devote the Journal exclusively to the interests of Literature. As the season arrived for the Exhi bitions of Pictures, it was found necessary, in compliance with the wishes of many Subscribers, to give critical notices of them; but these were insufficient to mark the progress of the Fine Arts, while they intrenched upon the space intended for Literature. The insertion of Reviews of Scientific Works elicited also complaints that the Reports of the Learned Societies should have been relinquished, and it has been felt that a weekly record of the progresss of Science is still a desideratum. Encouraged by the success that has attended their efforts in the department of Literature, (the circulation || of "THE LITERARY Gazette,” notwithstanding these deficiencies, having been more than doubled,) the Proprietors have determined to enlarge their Journal to twenty-four pages, and to devote the additional space to special departments of Science, Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama. The Contents of The Literary Gazette will henceforth be arranged as follows:- Foreign Works. Notices.-Brief Critical and Analytical Notices of New Books not suitable for review. lations, Periodicals, and Pamphlets. List of New Books.-The usual List, with particulars of size and price of all books published during the week. Communications.-Original Memoirs, Biographies, Accounts of Scientific Voyages and Travels, Letters from Correspondents, &c. Topics of the Week.-An Editorial Record of Literary, Scientific, and Social Intelligence. Proceedings of Societies.-Abstracts of Original Lectures and of Papers read at the Learned Societies, with occasional illustrative Woodcuts of Diagrams, Sections, &c. Fine Arts.-Reviews and Notices of Art Publications, Prints, Exhibitions, Sales of Pictures, &c., and General Art Intelligence. Foreign Correspondence.—Letters from Correspondents resident in Paris, Leipsic, Madrid, and other Continental Cities. Music.-Notices of Operas, Concerts, Oratorios, New Publications, and General Musical Intelligence. The Drama.-Reports of the Theatres, with Criticisms of New Plays, and General Dramatic IntelliVarieties.-Fragments of general interest. [gence. Price FOURPENCE. Stamped Edition, FIVEPENCE. OFFICE,-5, HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN. (922) GREAT EXHIBITION, 1851. This day is published (Dedicated, by express permission, to H. R. H. Prince Albert), Part 4 of the Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century: A Series of Illustrations of the choicest Specimens produced by every nation at the Great Exhibition of Industry, 1851. BY M. DIGBY WYATT, ARCHITECT. Part 4 contains:-Plate 13, A Group in Bronze, by Vitroz, of Paris.-Plate 14, Vase, "la Gloire," from the Royal Manufactory at Sèvres.-Plate 15, Window Ornament, from Tunis.-Plate 16, Indian Elephant Trapping. Messrs. DAY and Son, Lithographers to the Queen, 17, Gate Street, Lincoln's Fields, have made arrangements by which the objects selected for Iliustration will be drawn on stone by first-rate Artists, and will be presented in their proper colours, the aim of the publishers being to furnish a true and lasting memorial of the condition of the industrial arts throughout the world at the present epoch. Believing that it will be the wish of many to preserve the best possible record of this event, the publishers have calculated upon a very extended sale, and have determined to reduce the price to a rate altogether unprecedented in the history of lithography. The work will be in folio, and appear in fortnightly parts. Every number, price 7s. 6d., will contain four fully coloured plates, with descriptions of the objects, and critical and explanatory remarks. The work complete will comprise from 120 to 150 plates. LONDON: DAY AND SON, 17, GATE STREET, LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS. EXHIBITION of the WORKS of INDUSTRY of (923) BY AUTHORITY OF THE ROYAL COMMISSIONERS. "stock-taking," which no great library-nor any gentleman's library, of those who aim at the collection of literary Complete in Three handsome Volumes, price standards-can hereafter be without. It is not a work of Three Guineas, a day a month, or a year: it is for all time. Centuries hence it will be referred to as authority on the condition FFICIAL DESCRIPTIVE and ILLUS- to which man had arrived at the period of its publication. It is at once a great Trades Directory, informing us where we are to seek for any particular kind of manufacture-a Natural History, recording the localities of almost every variety of native production-and a Cyclopædia, describing how far science has ministered to the necessities of bu manity, by what efforts the crude products of the earth have been converted into articles of utility or made the medium of that refined expression which belongs to the province of creative art. The Exhibition has lived its allotted time, and died; but this Catalogue is the sum of the thoughts and truths to which it has given birth,-and which form the intellectual ground whereon the generations that we are not to see must build. It will be evident from what has been already stated that a more important contribution to a commercial country than the Official, Descriptive, and Illustrated Catalogue of the Great Exhibition' could scarcely have been offered. All possible means have been taken to render it worthy of the wonderful gathering of which it is the permanent record."-ATHENÆUM. "A complete literary type of the original to which it refers, opening up sources of amusement or instruction to every class of taste, and proving equally at home on the drawing-room table, handled by fashionable dilettanti in the study, pored over by the scholar or the man of science, at the merchant's desk as a book of constant referencein the factory, the foundry, and the workshop, as a repertoire for designs, and has highly suggestive for future progress. A more pleasant work to dive into during an idle hour can hardly be imagined, for wherever it is taken up there is something new and striking, and worthy of attention."-TIMES. "The work is without a precedent in the annals of literature; and when we regard the circumstances of difficulty that surrounded the task of its execution, the praise bestowed on those who undertook it can scarcely be too great. The Contractors, in that enlarged spirit which appears to have entered into all that belongs to the Exhibition, engaged men of reputation and authority in every department of science and manufacture to contribute such descriptive notes as should render the work eminently instructive. It thus contains a body of annotations which express the condition of human knowledge and the state of the world's industry in 1851 and is a document of the utmost importance, as a summary report of this vast international "Every care has been taken to render this compilation a record worthy of preservation, as giving within a limited space a faithful description of certainly one of the most remarkable events which has ever taken place upon this island, or in the world-the gathering together from the ends of the earth, of the products of human industry, the efforts of human thought."-EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. "One of the most popular mementoes and histories of the actual gathering of the nations."-ATHENBUM. "It should be read and retained by all as a compact and portable record of what they have seen exhibited." LITERARY Gazette. SPICER BROTHERS, Wholesale Stationers. WM. CLOWES AND SONS, Printers.
