Literary Journals. 45 



books, from this time I shall print the works of the learned only 

 four or five times in the year, and none but books of note shall 

 make any part of it." The work with this title, by Mons. de 

 la Carose, is therefore complete in one volume of 398 pages, 

 to virhich are appended two good indexes, one of the titles of 

 the books reviewed, the other a table of the several matters 

 contained in the volume. 



VII. 1692. The Young Student's Library, contain- 

 ing Extracts and Abridgments of the most valuable Books 

 printed in England, and in the foreign journals, from the year 

 1665 to this time : to which is added, a New Essay upon all 

 sorts of Learning, wherein the use of the sciences is distinctly 

 treated on." By the Athenian Society. Folio, London, 

 printed for John Dunton, at the Raven in the Poultry, 1692. 

 This volume, which has a very fantastical copperplate engrav- 

 ing in folio, representing the Athenian Society, contains a very 

 elaborate review of the following publications, among others of 

 lesser note. The works of Dr. Lightfoot, of Bishop Usher, and 

 of Dr. Barrow : the Letters of Grotius, Sir John Chardin's 

 Travels in Persia, the works of Boyle, Locke's Essay on the 

 Human Understanding, &c. &c., with ample extracts from 

 each. It also contains observations on the Philosophical 

 Transactions, and copious extracts from the foreign philosophi- 

 cal journals. 



The Young Student's Library does not appear to have been 

 published in parts, but as it consists entirely of a review of the 

 most valuable books printed at that time, and as it laid the 

 foundation for the following periodical work, it was thought to 

 deserve a place in this list. 



VIII. 1692. "The Complete Library ; or, News for 

 the Ingenious. Containing several original pieces; an histori- 

 cal account of the choicest books newly printed in England. 

 and in the foreign journals ; as also the state of learning in the 

 world." To be published monthly. By a London Divine, &c.
