WALKER'S PRONOUNCING ENGLISH DICTIONARY.

In which the Accentuation, Orthography, and Pronunciation of the English Language are distinctly shown, according to the best authorities. The Thirtyeighth Thousand.

An English Grammar-a guide to the rules of Pronunciation-the laws of English Versification-Pronunciation of the more important Languages: French, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, modern Greek, -Chronological Tables-Lists of Cities, Boroughs, and Towns in England and Wales, with the market days. "It is, in fact, a perfect treasury of knowledge." "The want of a revised edition of Walker's Dictionary has long been felt. Upwards of 2000 words which modern literature, science, and fashion, have brought into existence have been incorporated, such as, for instance, Telegram, Electrotype, Lithography, Mesmerism, Photography, Phrenology, Papier Mâché, Stereotype, &c.; whilst others are of so common a description as to excite our surprise at their omission-as, for instance, Exhume, Descriptive, Incipient, Lava, Playful, Statistics; also many geological terms now in conversational use-as Felspar, Gneiss, Granite, Quartz, Schist, Shale, Pyrite, Tertiary, &c."

WALKINGAME'S TUTOR'S ASSISTANT; being a Com

pendium of Arithmetic for the Use of Schools. A New and improved Edition, to which is added, an Appendix on the Decimal Coinage, by J. R. YOUNG, late Professor of Mathematics, Belfast College.

"Walkingame's Tutor' is especially valuable for its copious variety of examples and extensive range of subjects; and in its present more modernized, improved, and corrected form, it is hoped that it may continue to sustain the character it has so long possessed as a favourite school book of practical arithmetic."
