In the year 1844 was completed a work on "LONDON," edited by CHARLES KNIGHT, which extended to Six large Volumes. It is proposed to publish a digested abridgment of that work, with every necessary addition and correction, that may be completed in one handsome Octavo Volume, and be sold, bound, for Seven Shillings. This new work, issued at this remarkable rate of cheapness, will contain upwards of Six Hundred pages of Text, and numerous Engravings.

To one of observation, and reflection, and adequate knowledge, everything in London is suggestive. In her external features we read the history of her past and the description of her present social state.

"The things of fame

That do renown this city,-"

Churches, Palaces, Offices of Government, Theatres, Exhibitions, Courts of Justice, Prisons, Hospitals,-Parks, Squares, Streets, Bridges, Wharfs, Docks, Warehouses, Markets, Shops, Factories, Inns,-Pavements, Sewers, Gas-Lights, Waterpipes,-PostOffices, Railroads, Steam-Boats, Public Carriages,-have each their tale of that mighty stirring of humanity which, in its aggregate, is a spectacle of real sublimity unequalled in the world. The features of such a city, physical and moral, existing and antiquarian, if truly and strikingly presented, may interest every English reader, be he citizen or stranger. In 1851 there will be a gathering from all lands in this, the largest city of the world, whose inhabitants are in intercourse, commercial, political, literary, or religious, with almost the whole human race. We purposely select this period for producing a full, compact, and cheap book on LONDON, that will endeavour to combine accuracy with amusement,-a Guide for the Visitor,—a permanent Volume in the National Library.
