price 12_s._ cloth.
INDIA IN GREECE; or, TRUTH IN MYTHOLOGY. By E. POCOCKE, Esq.
This work, containing the earliest history of Greece drawn from
original sources, treats of the colonization of that country from
North-Western India, of the Budhistic Propaganda, the Tartarian
Mission, and the wars of the Grand Lama in Hellas--corresponding
Maps of India and Greece exhibit the exact parent tribes and
districts of the latter country, in Cashmir, Thibet, Tartary,
Afghanistan, and North-Western India. This geographical basis
leads the way to a thorough revision of early Hellenic history,
whereby the Cyclopes, Autochthous, Erectheus, Cecrops, Corybantes,
Cabeiri, and a long list of Mythologic agents, are at once placed
in the category of history.
This work, equally adapted to the general reader and the scholar,
corroborates in the most interesting way, the scriptural accounts
of the Hebrew settlements of the Children of Israel in Palestine,
and demonstrates their wars with the Tartar and Rajpoot tribes of
that country.

BIBLES AND BIBLICAL WORKS FOR PRESENTATION.
BAGSTER'S POLYGLOT BIBLES.
The elegant manner in which these well-known Books are got up,
renders them especially eligible as PRESENTATION copies of the

Turkey morocco, of durable beauty, and enriched with every
external adornment, their typographical completeness is enhanced.
The Miniature Polyglot, or small pocket size, the Foolscap Octavo,
pocket size, and the Facsimile Large-Print Edition, all correspond
page for page; and in their combinations with the Book of Common
Prayer, Indexes, Concordances, Lexicons, etc., afford a variety
suited to every requirement. The "Comprehensive Family and Pulpit
Bible," containing the largest number of parallel references and
illustrative notes ever published, is kept, of various quarto
sizes, bound up with Family Registers, in plain and sumptuous
bindings. The "Hexapla" is a treasury of the most condensed
criticism. It consists of the Greek Text of the New Testament,
printed in the largest type, with six standard English
translations beneath it, arranged for comparison in parallel
columns. Kept in every style of best binding. "The Bible of Every
Land," now just completed, is a collection of interesting Memoirs
of every Language into which the Bible has been translated, with

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE
AND HISTORICAL REVIEW.
"There is a wonderful improvement in the conducting of this, the
oldest of our monthly periodicals."--_Hull Advertiser._
"A better or more valuable work for country book societies,
lending libraries, and reading rooms, it is impossible to find
within the whole compass of English Literature. Its literary
articles are peculiarly sound in principle, and its criticisms
liberal but just; whilst its Obituary confers upon it a national
importance. We are sure then we cannot do a better service to our
friends, and more especially to those connected with institutions
like those we have adverted to, than in recommending this work to
their support."--_Nottingham Review._
