Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...beloved and respected than the Rev. Dr. Abraham liees.--J. B. ANNUAL REVIEW: W. TAYLOR AND R. SOUTHEY. 269 Besides giving to the editor the assistance and co-operation of eminent writers in literature and science, the proprietors spared no expense to provide artists of the first talents for its illustrations. Among those who furnished drawings, were Howard, Landseer, Donovan, Russell, Opie, Ottley, Phillips, and Farey; while among the engravers, were Milton, Lowry, and Scott. The " New Cyclopaedia" was in all respects a great and important undertaking. It embodied writings by some of the most distinguished scientific men of the age, on subjects of primary consequence, and it involved an expense almost unexampled in the history of literature: the pecuniary outlay could not have been less than 300,000 pounds sterling. Another literary speculation of considerable importance, undertaken in 1803, was the Annual Review, intended to comprise, in one large volume, an account of the entire English literature of each year. The editorship was committed to Arthur Aikin, whose scientific and literary attainments eminently fitted him for such an office. He was ably assisted by the distinguished members of his own family, and by many persons of note in the literary world: among whom may be mentioned, in theology, the Rev. Chas. Wellbeloved, of York; in natural history, the late Rev. Wm. Wood, of Leeds; and in general literature, Robert Southey, and William Taylor, of Norwich.f I must add, besides many others, your own name; for to you the editor was indebted for some valuable articles on topography and antiquity. The work was conducted by Mr. Aikin for six years, when, in consequence of new arrangements in the management of the literary...

Excerpt from The Auto-Biography of John Britton, F. S. A., Honorary Member of Numerous English and Foreign Societies: In Three Parts, Viz. Part I, Personal and Literary Memoir of the Author; Part II, Descriptive Account of His Literary Works; Part III, (Appendix) Biographical, Topographical, Critical, and Miscellaneous Essays The Chronological List of my literary works at the end of the Appendix, and a similar table attached to the Descriptive Account, will show at once the extent and nature of those published writings, and will be found useful to future Antiquaries, Biographers, and Book Collectors. It will be Seen by these that my anxious attention has been chie y given to Topography, Archaeology, Biography, and the Fine Arts. In these pursuits I have travelled over nearly the whole of England and part of Wales; and have employed numerous draftsmen in measuring and delineating objects of antiquity, as well as in sketch ing landscape scenery, for the purpose of engraving and publication.

Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ...of the Scotch Novelist! that I might now detail all that was said by him on that memorable morning; as well as the artistic remarks of the mild and amiable President of the Royal Academy; and the then novel theories and language of the German Phrenologist: but, alas! I can only venture to relate the simple circumstance of the meeting, the scene, and the tendency of the conversation. The peculiar formation of the Poet's skull, with all its superficial inequalities and curvatures, was pointed out by Dr. Spurzheim, and descanted on with much ingenuity; with inferences from its peculiar developments, as indicating the possession of those talents which are evinced in his Writings; also some personal traits of character, which the ingenious and accomplished man of physiological science only could descry, or venture to comment on. Mr. West said but little; for he was never eloquent, nor even fluent. His remarks on the Bust were confined to individual features--the eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, cheeks, hair, and moustache: all of which, he felt satisfied, were imitations of nature, modelled from the person whilst living, or from a cast after death. There was no appearance of fancy, or of its having been modelled merely from recollection.f The language of Mr. Scott, on the poetry of Shakspere, was fluent and copious; but he scarcely noticed the plaster-cast. He could repeat almost every striking passage in the plays and poems of the Bard, and applied many of them to characterize their author. On being asked to look at and give his opinion of the Bust, he chiefly alluded to the lofty, towering forehead, and conical crown; the simple, boyish lips, and their pleasing expression; but he could not reconcile himself to the extraordinary, and, as he...
