mer, the full moon regularly falls fourteen days after the new moon, and as there was this year a new moon on the 7th of March, of course the full moon falls on the 21st, and Easter day must be celebrated on the following day, the 22d. This is not, as it has been stated, the extreme limit on which Easter can fall; for if the equinox should happen at ten o'clock on the night of the 20th of March, and there were to be a full moon before midnight, the next day, if it were Sunday, ought to be Easter Sunday. In opposition to this, however, a writer in the Journal of Savoy remarks, that the 21st of March has been invariably fixed to represent the day of the equinox, for the purpose of avoiding the difficulty of ascertaining the real day every year by astronomical observations and calculations. ⚫ Edward Dodwell, Esq. is preparing for publication a Classical and Topographical Tour in Greece, during the years 1801, 1805, and 1806. A long residence in Turkey has enabled the author to examine, and the assistance of a first-rate artist, to illustrate, the topography of that seat of early history. Greece, including Peloponnesus and the Ionian Islands, were the particular objects of his tour; in the course of which many districts, unexplored by modern travellers, have been penetrated, and remains, hitherto unknown, visited, and most faithful drawings made of their actual state. Many of the drawings being upon a scale which, consistent with their extreme accuracy, will not allow of reduction to the size of a quarto volume, it is intended to publish a separate work, consisting of sixty views of the most celebrated scenes and monuments of Greece; in which fac-similes of the drawings, taken and coloured upon the spot, will be produced, of the size of Stuart's Athens, forming a complete series of all that now exists of Grecian antiquity.

Don Jose Pavon, author of the Flora Peruviana, who resided many years in South America, says, "The solanum tuberosum (potato) grows wild in the environs of Lima, in Peru, and fourteen leagues from Lima, on the coast. I have also found it wild in the kingdom of Chili." The Indians cultivate it in great abundance in Peru and Chili, and call it Papas. It is said also to have been found in the forests near Santa Fè de Bagotá.

A mausoleum, in complete preservation, has been lately discovered at Hyeres. It is three metres long, and two

Some ancient monuments, in a very grand style, have been lately discovered at Avignon in digging up the ground in the square on which the town-hall stands, magnificent columns have been found, fifteen feet below the surface. The excavations are continued with great activity. It is supposed that these columns have been buried since the time that Domitius Enobarbus, in the year 619 of the Roman Republic, destroyed the Vindalium, a fine city of the Gauls, from the ruins of which arose Avenio.

The Royal Academy of Sciences at Turin have offered a prize of a gold medal, of the value of thirty sequins, to the author of the best dissertation on the tragic merit of Alfieri; and, as a German critic has lately severely censured the works of this Italian tragedian, the writers are to examine the opinions of that critic.

The ancient Gothic languages have lately very much engaged the attention of the learned in the north. The librarian of the University of Copenhagen has been several months at Stockholm, for the purpose of collating and collecting manuscripts of the Skalda and Edda, which are preserved in that city, and at Upsal: they are intended to assist in a projected edition of these poems.

The same person is employed on a grammar of the Anglo-Saxon tongue; and on a translation into Swedish of his grammar of the Icelandic tongue: the former of these works concerns all English antiquaries.
