Vol. ii. P. 56. : The additional poems in the first volume are few only three are marked as never before publifhed, but, if we mistake not, there are more which were not in the former volume. The poems will not fail to hold their place in judicious collections. ART. 36. An Abridgment of Goodacre's Arithmetic: intended for the Use of Young Ladies and others, whofe Avocations will not allow them to spend much Time in the Study of this Science. By Robert Goodacre. 8vo. 84 pp. Is. 6d. Oftell. 1805. "The following little volume is offered to the public as an abridgment of the author's larger treatife on the fame fubject, and is confined to thofe parts which are indifpenfably neceffary in the the common tranfactions of life."-"Every part is rendered as concife as poffible, in order alfo to unite cheapnefs with utility." P. 111. It appears to us, that this union is effected in a very commendable manner ; and we recommend the work for the ufe of those who are mentioned in the title page. ART. 37. Memoirs of the Life and Achievements of the Right 1806. 2s. 6d. We should not have gueffed this life to be the work of any naval captain, and particularly of a British captain, who, we fhould have thought, would hardly have made fuch a remark as this: "We have heard of commanders difguifing their perfons-of Lord Rodney's having in battle worn a hairy cap, and in other respects the garb of a common feaman; but that was not the course of Lord Neljon." P. 111. The book is moftly made up from official difpatches, and other publications. ART. 38. A Treatife on the Art of Bread-making. Wherein the Mealing Trade, Affize Laws, and every Circumftance connected with the Art, is particularly examined. 4s. 6d. Vernor and Hood. 221 PP. By A. Edlin. 1805. 12mo. "At the Theatre of Guy's Hofpital, in London, there is eftablished a fociety of medical men, who meet once a week, during the winter feafon, to communicate fuch new facts and obfervations as occur in the courfe of their practice. At the fame time, a differtation on fome medical or philofophical fubject is brought forward, and read by the members in their turn; which, after due deliberation, and an exordium from the prefident, is calmly 'inveftigated; when fome of the lecturers, and many of the most eminent men in the profeffion, are frequently induced to give their opinion, for the promotion of medical knowledge, and the improvement of the ftudents in particular; who, while they only appear to be enjoying an agreeable evening's conversation are, in reality, laying up a treasure of ufeful knowledge. Such is the origin of the prefent performance." Preface. A very refpectable origin it is; and the defign promifes much benefit to the public. The fubjects here treated of are--the natural history and cultivation of wheat; the mealing trade; the manner of preferving and grinding the different forts of corn; the analyfis and fynthefis of wheat; the nature of yeaft, with methods for generating and preparing it, and the mode of fermentation the feveral preparations of bread; the ftructure of a bakehoufe; and finally, a connected view of all the laws at present in force refpecting the manner of regulating the affize of bread, both in town town and country. The appendix contains obfervations on the profits, loffes, and expences incurred by a baker. We strongly recommend this work to all thofe for whofe ufe i was defigned; to ftudents in experimental philofophy; to frugal holewives; to captains of ships and military men; to bakers; and generally to all who win to purchate and eat unadulterated, wholefome, and good bread. ART. 39. Exempla Erafmiana; or, English Examples, (for the Ufe of beginners to be turned into Latin, according to the Order of the Rules in Erajmus's "Compendium of the Latin Syntax." To which are added, a few English Idiomatic l Expreffions. By B. D. Free, A, M. 8vo. 188 pp. 35. Robinfon. 1806. The author flates, that "the fuperior advantage this Exercifebook contains is, that the compendium rules are inferted at length, with their explanation; and thefe rules fhould be committed to memory, fo that it may equally ferve as a fyntaxis. This production (as the title expreffes) is intended more immediately for beginners; and with that view the examples are not only few in number, but concife in themfelves, for the more immediate pur. pofe of exemplying each refpective rule; and at the end are fubjoined fome idiomatical English expreffions, no directly referring to, or comprised under, any particular rule in Latin. Neither the gender nor declenfion of the noun is affixed, and merely the figure to point out the conjugation of the verb, that the fcholar may be compelled to ufe his dictionary, which in general is too much neglected." Preface. We all how our refpect for this work, and for fuch books in general, by a few remarks, of which the author may hereafter avail himself. We approve of the Latin rules Englished; but we think the example would come better after the English, than after the Latin rule as at p. 28, "Ut, omnes omnia, &c." Here too (as in other cafes) the example fhould be distinguished from the rule, by being printed in a different type. P. 33, at bottom, "Verus amicus, &c." does not exemyfy the rule. In many inftances, there is an anticipation of rules; particularly, at p. 34, " Obtempero," where, as the verb governs a dative cafe, it is furely mifplaced. A very effential rule in the gerunds, "Vertuntur etiam gerundia in nomina adjectiva," (Eton) is unfortunately omitted. Surely, it is in Erafmus's Syntax, which we have not at hand. At p. 155, the examples are too few; there fhould be one, at the leaft, in each word. We do not agree with the author, in the rule, "QUIN, jubendi," &c. (p. 158). The verb venio, after quin, fhould not be in the future indicative, but more elegantly in the prefent fubjunctive; as, non dubito quin veniat. Quin is feldom put with an indicative, except when it means Cur mon; as, Qui vocafti hominem? quin accipis ? for imo, indica tive or imperative, as Quin tu hoc audi. We are of opinion that the book will be found useful, with the alterations which we have fuggefted; and occafionally, a recapitulatory exercife. ART. 40. By Benjamin Heath With its beautiful portrait in the frontispiece, its plates of infantine sketches, its fine paper, print, and literary luxury, this book is exactly what might, without impropriety, have been put together as a private prefent from a father to his own particular friends, and thofe to whom the fubject was known; but as a production to be laid before the public, it is one of the most idleand fuperfluous works that we have ever feen. It teaches nothing but what every one may know without it, that much goodness of understanding and difpofition may be difplayed from a very early period of life; and it exemplifies chiefly what is feen con tinually, that the partiality of parents can eafily convert trifles into prodigies. In a very long and elaborate addrefs to a valuable friend, by way of dedication, another fuppofed prodigy is celebrated, the defigner of the frontifpiece to the book. He is celebrated both as an artist and as a poet; but fo little judgment is shown, in our opinion, with regard to the proofs of these talents, that we much doubt whether the encomium will be at all useful to the perfon praised. As an artift, he feems to be one of those who miftake extravagance for genius; as is teftified, even by his angel in the frontifpiece, though the kneeling figure is elegant, and that of the child paffable. As a poet, he feems chiefly inspired by that, Nurfe of the didactic mufe, Divine Nonfenfia. Loves of Triangles. ART. 41. As this work appeared before the fettlement of Buenos Ayres was added to the British Dominions, it is not fubject to the imputation of being a mere temporary compilation. The account given of the author is, that he left this country from some love difappointment, and proceeded to New York, after which he embarked on a trading voyage to Botany Bay; he was obliged by a form to make for the river Plata, whence he afterwards went to Buenos Ayres; where, being feized with a fever, he was left to the care of the fathers of the convent of St. Dominic. He afterwards attended one of the fathers to fome of the prefidencies in the interior of the Province of Paraguay. His obfervations he communicated to his friend at New York. He was last heard of at Chili, but whether he is now living is uncertain. It is an entertaining volume, and will, at this particular period, be, we doubt not, generally acceptable. ART. 42. A Walk through Leeds, or Stranger's Guide to every Thing worth Notice in that Antient and populous Town, with an Account of the Woollen Manufacture of the West Riding of Yorkshire, with Plates. 12mo. Is. 6d. Croby. 1806. This is a very neat and cheap reprefentation of fuch things as are worth a traveller's curiofity with refpect to Leeds. The account of the Woollen manufacture, tho' concife, is fatisfactory. We have from this tract the pleafing information, that the increafe of the manufacture has in the last year been 17,896 pieces or 845,139 yards. MONTHLY LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. DIVINITY.
