It is not generally known, that some very curious Memoirs of Lucien Bonaparte were printed in 1815. When, however, they were nearly ready, obstacles to the appearance arose; the publication was suspended, and the whole impression was eventually burnt. An agent of Lucien, it is presumed, indemnified the publisher, and obtained from him the sacrifice of his speculation, and the possession of the original manuscript. By what means this manuscript has again been suffered to see the light, we know not; but it is certain, that a London bookseller has obtained possession of it, and that it is immediately to be published.

The third part of the Encyclopædia Metropolitana will appear early in the ensuing Month.

DIVINITY.

Messrs Cadell and Davies have just published, dedicated, by special permission, to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the first part of a new and superior edition of the Holy Scriptures, with numerous engravings; and now including a Preface and Historical Accounts of the several Books, written expressly for this edition, by the Rev. Edward Nares, D. D. Rector of Biddenden, Kent, and Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford. -Whilst it is the pious and avowed object of the ancient and venerable Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, and of the British and Foreign Bible Society, to disseminate the Word of God, as extensively as possible, among the poorest and the most uninstructed of our fellow-creatures, by the distribution of Bibles printed in the cheapest forms, it has also been thought important, in this opulent and highly civilized

country, to engage young persons in the higher classes of society in a more diligent study of the sacred page, by presenting to them the Bible in a more ornamental form, enriched with graphical illustrations of the text, of undoubted merit and character; thus making the elegant arts of painting and engraving subservient to the advancement of the great interests of Christianity, and the gratification of taste conducive to the improvement of piety. With these views, the present edition has been undertaken, upon a scale of sufficient importance to command the attention of the highest and most enlightened persons, yet with every possible care to avoid unnecessary expense. The mode of its intended publication is detailed in the following Prospectus.-The engravings, which originally appeared in the magnificent and expensive work called Macklin's Bible, and which form the richest and most interesting assemblage of engravings, illustrative of the Holy Scriptures, that have ever been published in any country, consist of seventy historical subjects, executed by the first artists of this country, from pictures painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Mr West, Mr Loutherbourg, Mr Fuseli, Mr Smirke, Mr Stothard, &c. besides more than one hundred vignette headpieces and tail-pieces, emblematical of the several books. The printing, again executed by Mr Bensley, is in the size called atlas quarto, and the work will be published in twelve parts, price two guineas each. The first part was published on the 1st of June, and the remaining parts will follow regularly on the first day of each succeeding month. For the purpose of ascertaining the degree of support with which the work will be honoured, and of securing a delivery of the copies in exact conformity with the dates of orders, a subscription is solicited; each subscriber paying the price of the first part in advance, and engaging to pay a like sum on the publication of each subsequent part, except the concluding one, which will be delivered gratis. A list of the subscribers will be
