    Publishing in Monthly Parts, price One Shilling each, illustrated with Engravings, A NEW AND ENLARGED GAZETTEER OF SCOTLAND, To be completed in Ten Parts. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The vast changes, political and statistical, which have taken place in Scotland since a work of this description appeared, are a sufficient warrant for the present publication. The character of many of these changes also required a corresponding change in the nature and extent of the details to which works of this kind have hitherto been restricted ; and we observe with pleasure the more ample range which the Editor of the present publica- tion proposes to embrace. When completed, it will be the cheapest work of the kind ever published; and, if followed up with equal ability and research, at the same time the most com- plete and useable. The portable size of the work will render it also valuable as a guide-book and travelling-companion to tra- vellers, as well as a general book of reference.—Scottish Reform- ers' Gazette. ' If we may augur from this—the First Part of the work—it will constitute a complete geographical, historical, and statistical account of the counties, parishes, cities, and of all the more mi- nute particularities of the “ land of the mountain and the flood.” We earnestly recommend this cheap and excellent production to the patronage of an enlightened public—Inverness Herald. The second number of this useful and beautifully got up publi- cation has just reached us. We have carefully examined it; and, as far as our personal knowledge extends to the places described in both numbers, they are correct, full, and satisfactory. The notices even of the smallest villages seem to be drawn up with care, and from authentic sources of information.—Dundee Ad- vertiser. It is somewhat surprising that a new Gazetteer of Scotland has not made its appearance long before this time. Few coun- tries have made greater progress in improvement than this has done of late years, and on that account all the older Gazetteers, however correct at the time of their publicat ion, had become un- fit for works of reference. Should the subsequent parts realize the expectations we have formed from the perusal of this, the work may be pronounced not only the cheapest, but the most handsome Gazetteer of Scotland extant.—Dundee Chronicle. The Part before us appears to be got up with care and judg- ment. It contains some of the villages and parishes in this county; and as the descriptions of, and information given con- cerning them are accurate, and, without being unnecessarily tedious, sufficiently full, it may be safely presumed that such will be the general character of the work. We hail its appearance as exceedingly opportune Perth Advertiser. To all it will prove useful as a work of constant reference; and to the tourist it must, from its portable size, prove an excellent travelling guide Fifeshire Journal.
