stoves, hot plates for boiling, baking, and

R. BUSBY (Mus. D.) has’ issued 
proposals for publishing his new 
Translation of Lucretius, in rhyme, by 
subscription, in two elegant volumes in 
quarto; the price to subscribers four 
guineas, to be paid on the delivery of the 
work. — We formerly announced that 
Dr. Busby had invited the literati of the 
metropolis to his house in Queen Ann’s- 
street, West, on successive Saturday 
evenings, to hear this Translation recited 
by his son, Dr. Julian Busby. Nothing 
could have been more brilliant than 
these assemblages, or more gratifying to 
the genius of the translator ; they also did 
eredit to the taste of the town, and in- 
dicated that the author would be libes 
rally requited for a labour which has oc+ 
cupied the intervals of a long life. 
About three years ago, our corre- 
spondent Common Sense published in 
the Monthly Magazine, the Principles 
of an Art of Short.Memory, which he 
had. practised for nearly twenty years, 
He did this in consequence of a recent 
application of his principles by some pro- 
fessor of mnemonics, as it was called at 
Paris, and he foretold that great sums 
would hereafter be made by teaching the 
same Art in London. This has taken 
place, and the Professor has actually 
been giving lectures to considerab!e num- 
bers of our scientific amateurs, who are 
pledged or sworn to secrecy! As, how- 
ever this art is of English, and: not of 
French, or German, inyention, we feel it 
due to our readers to refer them to the 
article signed Common Sense, as they 
will there find an exact detail of the 
principles lately exhibited in London as 
a Novelty of Continental Discovery.
