a-crown.

These limits embrace at least nineteen out of every twenty calculations which business, in the most general sense of the term, requires to be made. Those who have oocasionally transactions on a larger scale, will find the numbers after 500 advance by hundreds, thousands, and ten-thousands, as far as 90,000. Pages 231 to 596 (the end) contain Tables up to 250 by units, thence to 1000 by hnndreds, thence to 10,000 by thousands, and thence to 80,000 by ten-thousands, at the various prices from 2s. 6d. to 19s. 11d. advancing a penny each step; and for the intermediate farthings between the limits of 2s. 6d. and 5s, the advance by units is only up to 10, and thence by tens, hundreds, &c. to 90,000.

DIVIDENDS ON BANKRUPTS' AND INSOLVENTS' ESTATES.-It will readily be perceived that the amount of dividends on such estates may be easily found, by considering the numbers as pounds sterling, and the price as the dividend per pound; and the" fractional parts' in every page are exclusively calculated for that purpose. In the Introduction to the work it will be seen that the author considered this branch of paramount importance.

ANDERSON'S MERCANTILE LÉTTÉRS.

A Collection of Modern Letters of Business; with Notes, Critical and Explanatory; an Analytical Index; and an Appendix, containing pro formâ Invoices, Account Sales, Bills of Lading, and Bills of Exchange Also, an Explanation of the German ChainRule, as applicable to the Calculations of Exchanges: with a Nomenclature of Technicalities not to be found in any Dictionary.

By W. ANDERSON.

"Youth designed for mercantile pursuits cannot be better occupied than in copying these letters."-Standard.

"The style of these letters is simple, clear, concise, and correct, saying much in a little compass: the author is evidently a man of business, and his book may be regarded as an intermediate step between the school and the counting-house, and is the only work of its kiud in existence. There are also forms of invoices, bills of lading, bills of exchange; in fact, we have rarely, if ever, seen so much useful matter in so small a compass. To young men just entering counting-houses, this book will be a very great assistant indeed: we have heard several elderly merchants of great respectability and influence say, that if they had but possessed such a book in their youthful days, it would have saved them a world of trouble."-London Mercantile

Journal.

"A most comprehensive and complete guide to commercial transactions, the examples being taken from genuine commercial letters; and the whole work being directed to objects of practical utility and matters of genuine business, it forms a most useful assistant in all branches of trade and commerce."-Courier.

"The New Edition is not merely valuable as examples of commercial style, but as introducing the reader and student, in the most familiar and intelligible manner, to the system of commercial dealings in all its branches, as carried on between this and other countries; in fact, it is a book which should be found in every counting-house and school, as the general mercantile information which it communicates and familiarises cannot fail to render it interesting to all classes of readers."—Examiner.

"We have only to announce a second edition of this excellent work. Of its merits, as being the first of its class, we have already spoken. We perceive that in this edition much has been inserted which tends to add to its previous utility. We would especially notice Australian correspondence.' This is novel and striking, and speaks much for the growing commerce of that rising colony. These letters are models for the man of business and the counting-house. Further commendation would be superfluous."-Atlas
