THE first edition of the first two volumes has been already noticed in these columns. The speedy issue of a second edition bears out the favourable opinion previously expressed with regard to them, and of this series of short comprehensive essays on British manufactures generally. There can be no doubt that any one wishing to take a general view of any of the subjects on which they treat will gain a good idea of their principles from a perusal of these volumes.
