PREFACE.

THE Proprietor of the NEW ANNUAL REGIster,
in announcing another Volume of that useful, in-
teresting, and popular Work, feels himself called
upon to say a few words respecting the increased
price to which he has been obliged to advance it.
The bulk of the late Volumes, which is barely pro-
portionate to the increased interest of the times in
which we live, is of itself more than sufficient to jus

the demand now made on the Public. Com-
pared with any other work of English literature, the
NEW ANNUAL REGISTER, both with respect to
size, and to the style of execution, in all its depart-
ments, will be found cheaper than any other modern
Publication ;. but the claim becomes indefinitely

stronger when the various Contents of the Volume are
duly appreciated :---as an Historical and Political Re-
gister, it gives a brief but faithful sketch of all the
most important discussions in both Houses of Parlia-
together with copies of the several State Papers
referred to; it contains a summary view of e
teresting occurrence that has happened during the
ceding Year,
in the several kingdoms and states of the

civilized world:-it records the rise and fall of empires,

and develops the causes, which have conspired to

augment the power of some, and to diminish the glory

and influence of others.
