      A FEW OF THE CRITICISMS OF THE PRESS . " Within a small compas 3 we have here gathered tog-ether all " A little volume carefully compiled from authentic sources of that is interesting in connection with the great undertaking of information upon the several points set forth in its title-page . " — the present year—an undertaking which must form a most im- Notes and Queries . portant chapter in the world ' s history . We are bound to say that _ " This book gives , in a concise and agreeable manner , anarrathe work has been judiciously done , and the result is a very sa- tive of the progress of the scheme towards fruition , and an acp tisfactory review of all that has been effected in the way of In- count of the building . The account is put together pleasantly , dustrial Exhibitions up to the present time . In the history of and makes a pretty book . " —The Builder . s ~ previous Exhibitions those of the Polytechnic Institution of " This volume , which unostentatiously treats on the highly in-Manchester , and other large towns , and even the Exhibition of the teresting subjects indicated in the title , is based on records of Mechanics' Institution atDevonport , come in for theirfair share unimpeachable value . All speculation has been wisely avoided , of praise . "—Literary Gazette . ' and its pages present an unvarnished history of one of the most le "Gilb rt ' s Popular Narrative of the Exhibition . — extraordinary undertakings which the history of the world ran With this title a small worK has just been published , written by boast : extraordinary in the fact of the people of this little island Mr . Peter Berlyn , from authentic and official sources , tracing- the challenging the population of the universe to meet on its shores origin , history , and progress , and pointing to the prospects of the with' specimens of their several productions and industry ; and Great Exhibition . The author has carefully avoided all specula- extraordinary in the magnitude , decidedly novel , and inconceivtion and gossip on the subject , and has applied himself with very ably rapid erection of the building for their reception . The considerable ability to the statement and elucidation of all those history of every description of similar exhibitions is traced back ** facts , derived from authentic records , which bear upon the pro- to its source ; those of Manchester , Birmingham , London , and gress of this most important national movement . Many inte- France are minutely recorded , the growing interest which folresting facts are treated in connection with previous expositions lowed every subsequent exposition statistically described , and which have taken place on the Continent and in this country , and every detail connected with the lioyalCommirsion , the arrangethe difficulties with which , upon its first announcement , the pre- ments , the building , future rules , throughout a space of 200 pages , sent undertaking had to contend , and the means by which the and finishing with a list of the local committees , conveys a vivid * * executive were enabled to overcome them , are clearly and con- and correct picture of this vast national undertaking . "—Mining secutively stated . The work also contains some valuable sta- Journal . ti 8 ticaland other information connected with the building , and " The great event of the present year—the veritable annus copies of the most recent of the regulations issued by the exe- mirabilis—world-wide in its fame , world-wide in its results , was cutive .

The little work also contains a complete treatise on the Great Exhibition of 1851 .
