M'Culloch, Esq. 2 thick vols. 8vo. illustrated with Six large important Maps, 41. cloth. "The extent of information this Dictionary affords on the subjects referred to in its title is truly surprising. It cannot fail to prove a vade mecum to the student, whose inquiries will be guided by its light, and satisfied by its clear and frequently elaborated communications. Every public room in which commerce, politics, or literature forms the subject of discussion, ought to be furnished with these volumes."-Globe.

M'CULLOCH.-A DICTIONARY, PRACTICAL, THEORETICAL, AND HISTORICAL, OF COMMERCE, AND COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION. By J. R. M'Culloch, Esq. An entirely New Edition, corrected throughout, enlarged, and improved. 1 very thick vol. 8vo., illustrated with Maps and Plans, 50s. cloth; or 558. strongly halfbound in Russia, with flexible back.

"Mr. M'Culloch's Commercial Dictionary has for several years been a vade mecum for merchants, traders, ship owners, and ship-masters, to guide and assist them in conducting the details of their respective occupations, we need not therefore expatiate upon the general merits of this well-known work, in announcing to the mercantile world a new, enlarged, and improved edition. The subjects handled in a commercial dictionary are not of a stationary but a progressive character, and those who mostly use such repertories are not curious about historical notices or theoretical discussions, but concern themselves solely with practical details immediately connected with the present moment. The changes made in our commereial policy by the Tariff Act of 1842, and the late acts for regulating the corn and colonial trudes, are so multiform, so important, and affect so many articles and interests, that Mr. M'Culloch despaired of introducing them into a supplement of a less size than the original work, he has therefore reconstructed his dictionary altogether. We have carefully examined this vast work, and are of opinion that the indefatigable author has produced a digest of the most useful and authentic information respecting the past and present state of the commerce of Europe and the world at large, and the laws and regulations under which commercial operations are carried on. We have not space, nor would it be useful if we had, to enumerate the new subjects treated in the edition before us; it will suffice practical men to be assured that in the course of their business scarcely any commercial question can arise upon which they will not find useful information in Mr. M'Culloch's well-stored pages."

From an article on Mr. M'Culloch's Dictionary in the "Times" newspaper.
