On the 1st of Nov. was published, price 35s. by Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy, ARLIAMENTARY PAPERS and ABSTRACTS for the SESSION of 1827-8; containing, carefully arranged under appropriate heads, the substance of all important Papers laid before Parliament during the Session.

These Papers consist of Reports of Committees of each House; of Financial, Mercantile, Agriculture, Legal, and Statistical returns of every description; and of Treaties and Correspondence with Foreign States, &c. &c.

In their original shape, the Papers are equal to twenty or thirty folio volumes annually; they are not printed for general distribution; and whether as regards their bulk, their expense, or their intricacy, may be considered as virtually inaccessible to the public.

In the present work, every document of importance is given entire, and by means of abridgment, abstract, and selection, the substance of all the others is faithfully conveyed to the public. The arrangement is such, that any document may be found without loss of time; and the price of the whole is scarcely more than that of an Index to the original Papers, so that even to Members possessing those Papers, it will afford great facilities of reference and research.

The Abstracts for the present year contain the Reports and numerous Returns on the subject of the Corn Trade, Foreign Trade, and Navigation; together with Tables of all Imports and Exports; the Emigration Report and Evidence, Pauper Lunatics Report and Evidence; the Report on Labourers' Wages, on Criminal Commitments and Convictions; on the Arigna Mining Company; on Education in Ireland, &c. &c.; the general Finance and East India Accounts; numerous Returns on the subject of the Poor and Poor rates; Corres. pondence and Returns relative to the Slave Trade and the Colonies; and Treaties with Foreign Powers.

The Abstracts for last year, contain the Emigration, the Chancery, and Jacob's Corn Reports, entire; the Finance Accounts, en. tire; the East India Accounts; Copious Documents relating to Ireland, the Colonies, and the Slave Trade; Correspondence with Foreign Powers, &c. &c.

The Abstracts for 1825 contain similar Accounts for that year.

The documents comprised in these vo lumes are not only interesting to the reader of the present day, but are permanently useful for the purpose of future history and research. The information they contain is of the most authentic and valuable kind, and important alike to the Merchant, the Man of Letters, and the Statesman.

FRIENDSHIP'S OFFERING, SELE

FOR 1828.

Edited by CHARLES KNIGHT.

This highly popular work, which, next to the "Forget-me-not," led the way to the present excellence of the English Annuals, will be published this year with advantages far superior to those of any former volume. Its Embellishments will consist of the most beautiful specimens of Art, which are executed by Engravers of the highest character; and the Literary department will comprise the Prose and Poetical contributions of the most Eminent writers of the present day. The Illustrations have been chosen from pictures of first-rate merit, several of which have been painted expressly for the "Friendship's Offering;" and the greatest care has been taken to render the Literary contents as spirited, interesting, and varied as possible. The proprietors trust, there fore, that the volume for 1828 will be found not only deserving the high favour which the work has already received, but fully equal to its various competitors. The present volume will be delivered at the usual price of Twelve Shillings, in a peculiar and unrivalled style of Binding, uniting the qualities of elegance and durability in a manner never before attempted in publications of

this class.

A few sets of Proofs are taken from the Plates, on India and French papers; for which, early application to the publishers will be necessary.
