of tables comprized in a moderate compass, containing the
least divisor of every number from 1 to 3,036,000; and the
author seems still disposed to continue the series to the fourth,
fifth, &c. million, if the demand for the tables already pub-
lished will enable the bookseller to proceed with any prospect
of remuneration. How this may be, it is impossible to say;
though we are persuaded that such a work would be a certain
loss in England: because it fortunately happens that we very
seldom want to know the component parts of a number,
and therefore few mathematicians would be disposed to put
themselves to what they would consider as an unnecessary
expence in the purchase of such tables. At the same time, it
must be acknowleged that, when the factors of a large number
are required, it is worth the whole purchase-money of such a
set of tables to make the requisite computations for discovering
them. On this account, we shall be glad to learn that the
success of the present work has enabled the author to proceed
with his projected task.

ART. XII. Procès des Prévenus de l'Assassinat, &c.; i. e. Pro-
ceedings against the Persons charged with the Assassination of
M. Fualdès, Ex-magistrate of Rhodez, in the Department of
the Aveyron; accompanied by an historical Notice of the prin-
cipal Persons connected with this Affair, and Portraits. 8vo.
Paris. 1817. Imported by Treuttel and Wurz, Successors to
M. De Boffe. Price 7s. sewed.

CONSIDERABLE attention has been excited on the Continent

by the nefarious transaction to which this volume relates,
and the proceedings have not yet been finally closed. M.
Fualdès is said to have been a respectable member of the legal
profession, lately retired from a magisterial office, and was
murdered on the 19th of March, 1817: the two persons prin-
cipally suspected of having committed this foul deed being
relatives of the victim, and almost daily frequenters of his
house and table. After a long trial, seven of the ten accused
persons were found guilty; and the Widow Bancal, Bastide,
Jausion, Bax, and Colard, were adjudged to suffer death:
the others to hard labour, imprisonment, &c. A Madame
Manson, whose name has lately figured so much in the news-
papers, has been arrested since the trial for having given false
evidence respecting it, and for having been an accomplice in
the crime. A portrait of her is prefixed to the volume, which
also contains sketches of Jausion, Bastide, the Widow Bancal,
and Bousquier; and a more detestable assemblage of physiog-
nomies has seldom met our eyes. Madlle. Rose-Pierret, like-
wise implicated in the affair, is also honoured with a portrait.
