PUBLISHERS' ADVERTISEMENT.

IN 1857 Mr. S. Austin Allibone prepared for the second volume of his Dictionary of Authors, a very full sketch of LORD MACAULAY's literary career, illustrated by copious critical commentaries, favorable and unfavorable, on his writings. As the proof-sheets of this sketch were (not by the agency of the author) for nearly a year before his death in his lordship's possession, and as he corresponded with Mr. Allibone on the subject, the accuracy of the statements therein contained, may be considered fully indorsed.

To this original sketch, Mr. Allibone has, within the last few days, prepared, expressly for our edition of the fifth volume of the History of England, a comprehensive SUPPLEMENT, containing a detailed account of the profound impression produced by LORD MACAULAY'S sudden and lamented decease and of the solemn and impressive funeral services in Westminster Abbey. The famous articles of the LONDON TIMES, the LONDON ATHENÆUM, the MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, and the EDINBURGH REVIEW, with the papers in the REVUE 409004

CONTEMPORAINE, ILLUSTRATED NEWS, &c., and the remarks of M. GUIZOT, EDWARD EVERETT, ROBERT C. WINTHROP, and others, are here reproduced, whilst the SUPPLEMENT concludes with a Bibliographical Catalogue Raisonné of MACAULAYANA to the latest date.
