A Prospectus is issued of a General History of the County of York. By Thomas Dunham Whitaker, LL. D. F.S.A. Vicar of Whalley, and Rector of Heysham, in Lancashire. The History of Craven, together with the republication of Thoresby's Ducatus Leodiensis, and the supplementary volume which accompanies that work, having already embraced more than one fourth part of this great county, both in extent and population, the Author of two of these works, and the Editor of the other, has been induced to submit to the Public, and especially to the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy of Yorkshire, such an extension of the plan, as will gradually comprehend the whole. With respect to the limits of such an undertaking, it is impossible to speak with precision; but, as a conjecture, rather than an assertion, it may be stated that seren folio volumes, of about five hundred pages each, and of the same type with the supplementary volume to Thoresby's Ducatus, will probably complete the work. The Author wishes it to be understood, that his great objects in the use of the materials to be committed to him, will be selection and compression. The engravings will of course be namerous. The work wil commence with an account of the portion of the North Riding, popularly called the County of Richmond, together with those parts of Lonsdale and Ewecross which are included in the Everwicshire of Domesday,

This part, which is already in considerable forwardness, will be put to press in the course of a few months. The work will be handsomely printed in folio, on fine deny paper, and the large paper copies on super-royal drawing paper, and will be delivered to the subscribers in parts, price 21. 2s. each, or on large paper, with proof impressions of the plates, price 41. 4s. each part. The impressions of the plates will be delivered in the exact order they are subscribed for.

We understand that an edition of

Gray's Works, edited by Mr. Mitford, is in the press, which cannot but excite attention; for the public will be presented with many letters from the originals, hitherto unpub ished, highly interesting from their number, and for their intrinsic merit; as well as with the originals, for the first time, of many of the letters very incorrectly published and much altered by Mason. This edi. tion will also possess many curious variations to the principal poems of Gray from his own hand-writing.
