Nations, edited and enriched with notes by Dr. Latham. This immortal work was long out of print, and you have conferred a benefit on Science, especially on Ethnology, by publishing a new edition of it. Mr. Quaritch, Publisher, Leicester Square. I am, yours, truly, R. CULL. SIR,-I am much obliged to you for sending me Prichard's Eastern Origin of the Celtic Nations by Dr. Latham. This new edition of Prichard's Celtic Nations, seems (as far as I have had time to look into it) a very great improvement upon the old one, and contains twice the quantity of matter. Llangadwaladr, Anglesey, July 1, 1857. Yours obediently, J. H. WILLIAMS. "Dr. Prichard's greater work is too well known for it to be necessary for us to do more than introduce the present new edition to the reader. But this volume is not merely a reprint; it contains a large amount of original matter. For instance, nearly a hundred pages are devoted by Dr. Latham to the Celtic nations of antiquity; and another long supplementary chapter discusses several questions collateral to the main one. We have been struck with the fact, that a topic treated with great depth of learning is yet made of intense interest to general readers."-Clerical Journal. 1126 TOLAND'S (John) Miscellaneous Works, with Life by Des Maizeaux, 2 vols. 8vo. old calf, rare, 12s

The first part is out of print. This is a work abounding with interesting singularities, and must be placed most justly amongst the curiosities of literature."-Hereford Journal. A most splendid and magnificent work. The notes are exceedingly rich and meritorious, to the infinite credit of Lady Charlotte Guest, whose liberality in this grand undertaking can only be measured by the talent and spirit with which it is conducted."-Monthly Review.

"The notes are learned in the best sense.

The energy of the Translator has been rightly

directed to the complete illustration of her subjects, and she has succeeded in tracing in other languages the same traditions she recovered from the oblivion of the Welsh tongue. Wherever any resemblances existed she has sought them out and recorded them, so that the Mabinogion' gives us not merely the Welsh Tales, but the contemporaneous poems of the English, the Norman, the German, and even Icelandic writers."-Chronicle.

In it we have the most lively sketches of a state of society, which our imagination could never have pictured to us without it, and we have conteinporary illustrations of mannners and customs, which will solve a host of doubtful questions. We never in our life met with a poem so full of beautiful and striking passages as the Romance of Beowulf."
