de l'Institut Royal des Sourds-muets, Directeur de L'Institution speciale des Sourds-muets. 12mo. P. 4.

This mentions the novelty of the attempt-no mutual interchange of knowledge having ever taken place before, between different Deaf and Dumb,* or Blind Institutions -no periodical publications ever commenced, specially for these subjects. There are, in Europe alone, above, 80,000 Deaf-mutes, almost all of whom are still without any means of instruction. The Journal is to contain from 60 fo 70 pages in each number, and to appear each month, or seldomer, according as matter may present itself. Its chief objects are-1. Registering the results of the practical experience of all teachers, who will communicate them. 2. A comparative view of the different methods adopted. 3. A historical notice of each school and instructor. 4. Miscellaneous communications for all who are willing to contribute. The price is, for each number, 2 francs 50 centimes, (2s. Id. British,) or subscription for six months, in Paris, 12 francs, (10s. Brit.) do. for the country, 13 francs, (10s. 10d. Brit.) The booksellers mentioned are, Mequignon aine, Rue de L'Ecole de Medecine, No. 9, Colas, Rue Dauphine, No. 34; Treuttell & Wurtz, Rue Bourbon, No. 17; Bossange, Rue de Richelieu; Galignani, Rue Vivienne, No. 18, & Les Marchands des Nouveautes.

18. Journal de L'Instruction des sourds-muets et des aveugles, redige par Mr. Bebian, ancien censeur des etudes de l'Institut Royal des sourds muets, Directeur de l'Institution speciale des sourds-muets. Paris, au Bureau du Journal, a l'Institution speciale des sourds-muets, Boulevard, Mont Parnasse, No. 24 bis.

* Ever since the commencement of the Dublin School, it has annually sent its Reports to as many of the French, Swiss, Italian, German, &c. British, Scotch, and American Schools, as it could find opportunities of transmitting, in order, if possible, to establish a universal correspondence and interchange of publications.
