PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES-(HANSARD'S).

"HANSARD'S PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES consists of two Series: the first, in Forty-one Volumes, commencing with the year 1803, and ending at the period of the Death of George the Third: the second, commencing with the Accession of his late Majesty, George the Fourth, the completion of whose reign (with the exception of the prorogation by his successor) concludes the Twenty-fourth Volume of that Series.

"To the fidelity and strict impartiality with which it has been conducted, testimonials of the most flattering description have been borne by nearly every one of our great Public Men, and by all our most distinguished Literary Journals. In the thirty-eighth number of the Quarterly Review will be found an elaborate article, written by the late Mr. CANNING, on Mr. Brougham's Education Committee and the Reform of Charity Abuses. Having, in the course of it, occasion to refer to the Debates in Parliament on the Renewal of the War in 1815, and to those on the State of the Country in 1816 and 1817, that eminent man took occasion to pronounce HANSARD'S PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES to be "a Record, which, for fidelity, fulness, and despatch, has certainly never been equalled."

"Neither has the Edinburgh Review withheld its meed of approbation. 'We cannot,' it says, speaking of this Work, and of its companion, The PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY of ENGLAND; we cannot quote this careful and judicious Collection without bearing testimony to its singular merits. It deserves, as well as the New Edition of the STATE TRIALS, undertaken by the same Proprietors, to be numbered among the most useful and best conducted Works of late years. Both are indispensable parts of all Collections of English History.' This latter panegyric came, like the former, from the pen of one of the most distinguished Members of the House of Commons.

"It is hardly necessary to add, that a Work which has been thus spoken of, and which, in consequence, has found its way into most of the great public and private Libraries, not only of the United Empire, but of Europe and America, will continue to be conducted with that fidelity and perseverance which a reception so flattering is calculated to produce. As a book of Parliamentary-historical Reference it is, and will continue to be, 'indispensable.'

"In addition to the Debates of both Houses, the Work contains an invaluable collection of Parliamentary Papers, consisting of many hundred Reports, Estimates, Returns, Protests, Petitions, Treaties, Conventions, Lists of Divisions, &c. &c.; together with a regular Series, for the last twentyfive years, of Accounts relative to the Finances and to the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom. These documents are exact copies of those laid before Parliament. They are to be met with in no other publication, and will be found eminently convenient and useful to the Reader: to whom, indeed, if his attention be at all turned to subjects of Political Economy, they are essentially necessary,

" Finding that others have taken to themselves some merit by the adoption of an original feature of this Work, Mr. Hansard has been induced to resume it; and to give, in a condensed form, the minor proceedings of each day, under the head of MINUTES,' wherever they can be of use, regarding the time of publication, either as matter of immediate information to the parties interested, or of future reference.

"The Paper and the Printing, in consequence of the recently-invented machinery in their respective departments, will be found to have been much improved; and no expense or labour will be spared to render the Work deserving of that increasing patronage which it has, for so many years, enjoyed."

The Volume usually consists of about forty-five sheets extra royal octavo, large page of double column, in type similar to that of this Advertisement. To the Volumes of the Session are affixed, a copious Table of ContentsAlphabetical List of Matters debated upon in either House-Alphabetical List of Members who have spoken upon any subject.-An official Roll of the House of Peers; and a List of the Members of the House of Commons, distinguishing the place for which each sat in that Session; and a List of all places returning Members, with the names of those Members ;--such Lists will be continued for every future session.

The Volumes have been published at £1. 11s. 6d. boards; or £1. 15s. half bound, russia, fully lettered; the Price, (from Volume 22,) is reduced to £1. 10s. boards, £1. 13s. half bound. The work is also, for convenience of current reference, published in Parts, Six making a Volume, at 6s. each. But as the projected addition to the Parliamentary Reports, Accounts, and Papers may increase the size of the Volume, and consequently the expense of its production, an adequate increase of price will, of course, in that case be unavoidable or in the event of a sufficient quantity of extraordinary matter occurring, an additional Volume may become necessary, as in this Session of 1830.

A very small number of perfect Sets, viz. from the year 1803 to the Death of George III., Forty-one Volumes; and (SECOND SERIES) commencing with the reign of George the IVth to 9 George IVth, 1828, in Nineteen Volumes, remain on hand: notwithstanding which, as the purchaser of so large a Work must necessarily be at a considerable sacrifice of expense, the Proprietor is willing to dispose of a certain number, in complete Sets of Sixty Volumes, at a discount of 30 per cent from the publishing prices, if taken within this year.

Immediately connected with this Work, is

THE PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY,

From the earliest Period of Parliament, 6 Wm. I. 1072, to 4 Geo. IV. 1803, in Thirty-six Volumes.

The History and Debates thus forming the only complete Legislative History of England extant. These will be sold at a similar discount.

"Of The PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY it is not too much to say, that it has completely superseded all former Collections. In the preface to the recently-published posthumous work of the great modern Historian, Archdeacon Coxe-(" Memoirs of the Pelham Administration,")—there is the following valuable tribute to its merits. Speaking of the Parliamentary

Journal of the hon. 'Philip Yorke, eldest son of Lord Chancellor Hardwicke, Mr. Coxe says, "This curious narrative, containing a faithful account of "the Proceedings of the Lower House, recorded under the impression of the moment, and accompanied with occasional views of the political history "and character of the times, has been printed by Mr. HANSARD, in his "collection of Parliamentary Debates. I have likewise examined and com"pared the reports of the speeches given in the Gentleman's and the "London Magazines: but, in tracing the proceedings of the Legislature, "I have derived the greatest assistance from the PARLIAMENTARY HIS"TORY' published by Mr. HANSARD; which forms an invaluable and "indispensable appendage to our national annals, and contains a vast mass of curious information."

In order to render the before-named Works more generally useful,
there is now in the Press

HANSARD'S PARLIAMENTARY DIGEST;

Or,

INDEX OF READY REFERENCE

With an INDEX containing the Name of every Member who took a part in the said Debates and Proceedings. In Two Volumes. The Second Volume (for the Debates Sixty-two Volumes) will be first published, and as a great portion of the Work is already in the hands of the Printer, it is confidently expected that this very essential Volume will appear in the course of the present Year.

Another Work equally connected with the History of our Country is now brought up to the last case of public importance.
