LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. MR. HAWORTH is preparing an additional volume of the Lepidoptera Britannica, which will complete the Work. It is expected to be published in the course of the Winter. The Rev. DR. GLASSE is publishing, in Monthly Numbers, a new edition, in royal octavo, closely printed, of Burkitt's Commentary on the New Testa ment. A new Biographical Work is in a forward state of preparation, intended to contain a Series of Portraits of the most eminent persons now living, or lately deceased, in Great Britain and Ireland, including the most distinguished characters in the Senate, the Church, the Navy, and Army, the Learned professions and the various departments of Literature and Science; also of those who have most zealously exerted themselves in promoting the Arts, Agriculture and Commerce of the Country. The Portraits will be elegantly and accurately drawn in an uniform manner, from nature, or from original Pictures; and the Engravings will be perfect fac similes of the Drawings. The work will be published periodically, and the first number, containing six Portraits, each accompanied by a short Biographical notice, will appear very soon. MR. SOUTHEY is engaged upon a History of Brazil, which will be immedi ately put to press. It forms a part of the History of Portugal, on which he has been employed for several years. The best Portuguese Historians have arranged their national History under three heads, namely, Portugal, Portuguese Asia, aud Brazil According to Chronological Order, the History of Brazil would have been the last of the series, but as public curiosity is particularly directed towards that country, it has been thought proper to lay it before the world with as little delay as possible. A Critical Catalogue of all the authorities printed or manuscript in the possession of the author, or to which he has had access, will be annexed to the work. The seventh and last volume of MR. NICHOLS's History of Leicestershire, is in the Press, and will be published with all convenient speed. All the plates for this volume are already engraved. The second volume of the History of Surrey, by MR. MANNING, is in a state of forwardness at press. It will be recollected that this was one of the Works consumed by the fire which destroyed Mr. Nichols's Printing office. A Translation of Richard of Cirencester, on the ancient State of Britain, with Notes; a Commentary on the Roman Itinerary, and Remarks on the British Roads and Antiquities, accompanied by the original Treatise De Situ Britanniæ, from the scarce work published by professor Bertram of Copenhagen, will speedily make its appearance. A new Translation of the Venerable Bede's Ecclesiastical History is preparing for the Press, by the Rev. J. EVANS, author of two Tours through North and South Wales. The work will be preceded by an Introductory Chapter on the state of Religion from the earliest Period in Britain, anterior to the Commencement of Bede's Era, and a Continuation from authentic documents, down to the Norman Conquest, so as to comprise a complete view of the Anglo Saxon Church. A new edition of the Greek Text of Herodotus, corrected from the edition of Wesselling and Reitz, is expected to make its appearance in the course of the ensuing autumn from the Oxford University Press. It will be followed by "Porti Lexicon Ionicum," a work which has long since been extremely scarce and expensive; it is intended to be printed uniformly with the Herodotus, and to be adapted to the various editions of that author. A new edition of LAVATER'S Physiognomy has lately been published at Paris, with Notes and additions, Anatomical, Physiological, and Medical, by M Moreau de la Sarthe, in eight volumes octavo. The Abbe GAETANO MARINI, first Librarian of the Vatican, has lately published at Rome 146 Documents of the middle ages, written on Papyrus, accompanied with Historical and Diplomatical Illustrations. The first is a Bull of Pope John III, for finishing the Church of the Apostles, about the year 570. It appears that to the end of the eleventh Century, the Papal Bulls were always written on Papyrus.
