Edited by J. B. ROUSTAING.

Translated by W. E. KIRBY.

The Work now offered to the English public is highly esteemed on the Continent, as a further development of the Religious Philosophy of which the first principles are laid down in the works of Allan Kardec. The circumstances under which it was written are fully detailed in the "Editor's Preface"; and there is nothing to add on this subject, except to suggest that it should be read impartially and judged on its merits, without any bias for or against it on account of the Origin which is claimed for it.

South-African Butterflies;

A MONOGRAPH OF THE EXTRA-TROPICAL SPECIES.

By ROLAND TRIMEN, F.L.S., F.Z.S., M.E.S.,

Curator of the South African Museum, Cape Town.

The Author's former Work, "Rhopalocera Africa Australis," being now out of print and difficult to obtain, he has in preparation a New Work. This is the more necessary, considering the lapse of time since 1866, when the book mentioned was completed; and looking to the large accessions to our knowledge, not only of the local butterfly-fauna concerned, b of the order Lepidoptera generally, during the past fifteen years. The author has, from his long residence in South Africa and his connection with the Cape Town Museum, enjoyed exceptional advantages for acquiring a full knowledge of his subject; and in the forthcoming work he will endeavour to give more than a mere second and amended edition of the former work, adopting a more natural classification, and exhibiting fuller details of the relations of the species, genera, and families.

The Plates of "Rhopalocera Africa Australis" will not be reproduced, but entirely new ones will be issued, illu trating a considerable number of newly-described or otherwise interesting forms, and including the larvæ and pupe several species.

The Numidian Language.

By F. W. NEWMAN.

In the time of St. Augustine, the Libyan Language, as known to the Romans among Numidians, Mauritanians and Gætulians, was essentially one. Hence some approximation can be made towards its reconstruction by casting out of the modern tongues which are spoken on the same area all the imported Arabic. An attempt is made to present thus the materials of a Libyan Dictionary

In three Vols., folio.

A DESCRIPTIVE AND PICTORIAL ATLAS.

Prepared under the Direction and Supervision of General L. P. DI CESNOLA, LL.D.,

Member of the Royal Academy of Science, Turin; Honorary Member of the Royal Society of Literature, London; Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, etc.

TRUBNER and Co., in Fifteen Monthly Numbers, and Thirty Plates of Illustrations, to continue each month until the work is completed. The price of each number will be Two Guineas, thus making the total cost of the Atlas Thirty Guineas.

In three Vols., 8vo.

Dante's Divine Comedy.

The Dante Society of Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes to print the hitherto inedited Latin Comment on the Divine Comedy by Benvenuto da Imola. The importance of this Comment is well known. Composed in the early part of the fourth quarter of the Fourteenth Century, little more than fifty years after the death of Dante, by a man of knowledge of the world as well as of books, versed in the personal and political history of the preceding century, a friend of Boccaccio, and himself one of the chief men of letters of his time, it contains a larger amount of information concerning the conditions of Italy and the personages mentioned in the poem than will be found in any other of the early Comments. An exact copy of the manuscript now in the Libreria Laurenziana in Florence having been procured, it is proposed to issue the work in Three handsome octavo Volumes, of about 500 pages each, provided that a sufficient number of Subscribers can be obtained to defray the expenses of printing it.

The price of each volume will be one guinea, to be paid on delivery. Should the requisite number of Subscribers be secured, it will be the hope of the Dante Society to issue the First Volume before the end of 1882.

The Work will be published in the United States by Messrs. J. R. Osgood and Co., of Boston, and in England by Messrs. TRÜBNER and Co., to whom the names of subscribers should be sent.
