A Sketch of _Jona. Edwards and his Works_, has been published in German
at Leipsig.

DR. ANDREE, whose work on America we lately noticed, has commenced at
Bremen a periodical called _Das Westland_, devoted exclusively to the
diffusion of information respecting the new world. The idea is an

of the American Union in their relation to the North, Traditions of the
North American Indians, the navigation of the La Plata system of Rivers,
the Welland Canal, &c. Sold in New-York by Westerman Brothers, 240

The _Gotha Almanac_ is an indispensable book for those who follow the
history and look after the statistics of the royal families and
governments of Europe. It contains perfect genealogical lists of the
former, and tables of the diplomatic corps, the debt, the revenues, the

Prussia, Crown Prince Charles of Sweden, Count Leo Thun, Lord
Palmerston, Prince Wolkonski, and Cardinal Schwarzenberg. This is the
eighty-ninth year of the publication.

it has given rise in Germany, and which must exert a powerful influence
in the formation of the growing age. A more solid and extensive
undertaking is an _Atlas_ intended to illustrate the entire original
work. It is by TRAUGOTT BROUVE, and will contain forty-two
