Proposals are issued for printing by sulscription, on a beautiful paper, and in a handsome style, The History of Bunhill-Fields Burying Ground, an estate in the possession of the city, dedicated, by permission, to the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and the Common Council of the City of London, by John Rippon, D. D. The history here announced, which is the result of much application during the last ten years, is designed to introduce into the bosom of candour, an object highly estimable for more than a century, and whose beauties have increased with its age. The astonishing enclosure called Tindall's burying ground, or Bunhill Fields, never mentioned in the circles of respectability but with veneration, confessedly ranks high as a favourite of the religious public; and, for a combination of excellencies, is not perhaps to be equalled by any repository of the dead in all Europe. The precious dust of Puritans, Non-conformists, and Dissenters of various denominations, with the invaluable remains of others, probably forming together the vast total of more than 75,000, cannot but endear this remarkable part of the suburbs of the great city ta multitudes; especially to such whose ancestors, ministers, or dearest earthly friends, are here interred; and with whom they intend their own dust shall mingle, till the sleeping inhabitants awake, and every grave shall be re-animated by the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God. This pub lication is to comprehend an account of whatever appears to have been interesting in the lives and deaths of the most eminent ministers, private christians, and other distinguished characters among the nobility and gentry, whose remains have been deposited in this renowned and capacious spot, through the two last centuries, quite down to the end of the year 1800. A fair copy also will be given of all such inscriptions on the several thousand tombs and grave stones as are legible; of many which are now entirely obli terated; and of others, the tablets of which are mouldered into dust The whole to be printed according to alphabetical arrange ment, embellished with about one hundred portraits, and fac-similes of the hand writing, of the worthies interred in this cemetery,

executed by the first artists. The work, it is calculated, will extend to six large elegant volumes in 8vo. To this will be added a map of the whole ground (36 inches by 29), with exact place of every tomb, &c.

Prospectus of a work, dedicated by permission to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, being an Analytical History of the World, upon a simplified and improved plan, divided into two parts, ancient and modern history.

The first number comprising the doubtful period from the creation to the first olympiad. The second from the first olympiad to the end of the republic of Rome. The third from the establishment of the Roman Empire to its invasion by the Barbarians. The second part will comprise, upon the same plan, the time elapsed from the rise and re-establishment of the present European states (in similar divisions and numbers) to the Definitive Treaty, in 1802.

In the press, and speedily will be published, Travels in Italy, by the Abbé Barthelemy, author of the voyage of Anacharsis; printed from his original letters to Count Caylus; with an appendix, containing several pieces never before published, by the Abbé Winkellman, Jacquire, Zarillo, and other learned men; translated from the French.

XLVII. MARCHAND'S VOYAGE
ROUND THE WORLD.
(Concluded from our last. p. 136.)

substance is increased gradually, and from time to time, according to the progress of age; at length means are found to introduce a piece of wood,

Wverting on the natural and ar- neatly wrought, the shape and size

tificial deformity of the Tchinkita

nayans.

He proceeds:

"The women, more fair, or less dark than the men, are still more ugly; a big and clumsy head; a circular face; a nose squeezed in about the middle of its length; eyes small and inanimate; cheek-bones very prominent; hair, or rather a mane, thick, bushy, and coarse, tied behind with strips of leather, either in the form of a cue or club; the shoulders, strong and broad; the neck low, tolerably firm and well rounded in those who are not sixteen, but extremely flabby and pendent in those who have suckled; a waist short and thick; knees and feet turned in, sufficient to strike against each other in walking; and, to complete the whole, a filthiness truly disgusting. They have thought proper to add to their natural ugliness, by the use of a lip ornament, no less whimsical than inConvenient. The people belonging to Cook's ship, who first perceived females decked with this ornament, reported to their captain that they had seen women with two mouths: and in fact, they have very much that appearance. In order to procure them a charm, from which, no doubt, they expect complete success, since to obtain it, they submit to suffer for a long time; a longitudinal slit, parallel to the mouth, is made about six lines below the under lip; in this is first inserted a skewer of iron or wood, and the bulk of this foreign VOL. I

of which are nearly those of the bowl of a table spoon. The effect of this ornament is to depress, by the weight of its projecting part, the under lip on the chin, to develope the charms of a large gaping mouth, which assumes the shape of that of an oven, and to expose to full view a set of yellow and dirty teeth. As this ma chine is removed and replaced at pleasure, when it is taken away, the transversal slit of the lip presents a second mouth, which from its aper ture, is not inferior in size to the natural mouth and in some women it is upwards of three inches in length. The men do not allow themselves to make use of this ornament; it is the exclusive attribute of the fair sex.”

The following extract appears to evince the sagacity of this people, and therefore deserves notice."

"Although the natives of TCHINKITANAY have long been in possession of European hatchets, they do not yet make use of this instrument for felling the tree which they intend for the construction of a canoe; they have preserved their ancient method of undermining its foot by means of fire: it is by the assistance of the same agent that they contrive to hollow it out; it is also with this instrument, which is docile in their hands, and the action of which they know how to direct and regulate, that they fashion the tree on the outside, so as to give it the form best calculated for being supported by the water, and
