far as relates to the conversations that took

place in my presence.

"I have the honour to be,

Your Lordship's

Most obedient humble servant,

"To the Right Hon.

G. R. SARTORIUS.

Capt. of H. M. S. Slaney."

Viscount Keith, G. C. B.

&c. &c. &c."

A letter to the same effect as the foregoing was written to Lord Keith, by Captain Gambier, of the Myrmidon, and forwarded by his Lordship to the Admiralty, with my report; of which, by some accident, the Admiral's secretary did not furnish me with a copy.

THE END.

Why then the world's mine oyster,
Which I with sword will open.

14. THE HISTORY of the COMMONWEALTH of ENGLAND: from the Commencement of the Civil War, to the Restoration of CHARLES THE SECOND. By WILLIAM GODWIN. VOLUME the SECOND, 8vo. 16s.

**There is no part of the history of this island which has been so inadequately treated, as the characters and acts of those leaders, who had, for the most part, the direction of the public affairs of England, from 1640 to 1660. They who figured during the interregnum, were immediately after the Restoration, spoken of with horror, and their memoirs were composed after the manner of the Newgate Calendar. What was began from party-rage, has been continued from indolence. No research has been exercised, no public measures have been traced to their right authors; even the succession of Judges, Public Officers, and Statesmen, has been left in impenetrable confusion. It is the object of the present Work to remedy this defect, and to review the transactions of that period with the same calmness, impartiality, and inflexible justice, as if they had preceded the Universal Deluge, or had taken place in one of the remotest islands of the South Sea. Preface.

"The work which Mr. Burke has just given to the public, is equally well planned and well executed. The author justly observes in the preface, that the grand object in a work of reference is the facility afforded to the reader, of finding any information he may want. Mr. Burke's arrangement is excellently adapted to this purpose. Great ability is also shown in the condensation of all the requisite matter into one thick volume, which, owing to the clear and beautiful mode of printing and engraving, is justly entitled to be called a cheap one, not only in comparison with the tedious and expensive works on the same subject but in reference to the quantity of reading it contains, and the superior style of its execution."-Examiner.
