Literary and Philotophical Intelligence. 



[March 1, 



ffuineas. It is worthy of observation, 

 that Mr. H. is the inventor of an appa- 

 ratus by which the most distant and 

 . intricate scenery may be delineated 

 with accuracy ; and that with such aid 

 he made sketches on 280 sheets of 

 drawing-paper, comprising 1680 square 

 feet. In tlie prospectus alluded to, 

 Mr. Horner relates many anecdotes of 

 Iiis studies and perils during this ardu- 

 ous enterprise, for the details of which 

 we regret we iiavo not room ; but the 

 prospectus will, we doubt not, be 

 sought with avidity, and be found in 

 most libraries. He has merited splen- 

 did success, and we are persuaded he 

 will meet with it. 



Mr. William Daniell will publish 

 in the course of the present season the 

 seventh volume of his Picturesque 

 Voyage round Great Britain. It will

 Voyage will be prosecuted to the 

 Land's End, where, in the year 1813, 

 this arduous undertaking was com- 

 menced. 



11 is well known that the late King, 

 during the whole of his reign, expend- 

 ed considerable sums in augmenting 

 his library at Buckingham-house, and 

 availed himself of many opportunities 

 of enriching it by tlie influence arising 

 from bis high station; consequently, it 

 bi'came one of the most interesting 

 dipots of literary rarities in Europe. 

 It being a subject of general lamenta- 

 tion, that such a collection should, as 

 private property, be excluded from 

 public examination, his present Ma- 

 jesty, with a liberal feeling which can- 

 not be too strongly commended, has 

 signified, through his ministers in Par- 

 liament, his intention to present it to 

 the nation ; and arrangements are 

 expected to be mdde for a suitable 

 erection to receive it, — of which fur- 

 ther particulars will appear in this 

 Miscellany.
