deem it only an act of justice to the learned and laborious Editor, to mention, -

1. PrrRALOGY, or the knowledge of rocks, or stones which occur in large masses. 
2. Lrrnotocy; the knowledge of gems and small stones, 3, MzrarLocv; or 
the knowledge of metals. Each of these branches is even at present so im-

and each might occupy the sole pursuit of an Author who is zealous to make 
discoveries, or to compose complete and classical works.”—“ In the present 
Work it is to be hoped that the want of attention, care, or labour will not be 
accused. The Author bas sedulously employed the intervals of ten years iw 
tbis production, partieularly three whieh he passed at Paris, where he bad 
constant opportunities of seeing the most opulent cabinets, and of conversing,
