pulation of Paris is taken, the numbers 
are 1,481,500, or double that of Paris, and 
perhaps equal to that of ancient Rome in 
its greatest prosperity.

The demand for the Dictionary of 
History, the first of a series of separate 
dictionaries destined to constitute a 
Methodical Cyclopedia, having far 
exceeded the preparation of copies, 
and the necessary boarding and bind- 
ing of several hundred volumes re- 
quiring many days; it has been judged 
more expedient to defer the general 
delivery till the 15th of January, than 
to create confusion and dissatisfaction 
by the partial delivery which must 
have taken place on the Ist of Janu- 
ary, as proposed. Under these cireum- 
stances, the second yolume, containing 
Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Geology, 
will be delayed till the 1st of March, 
a delay whica will be advantageous,. 
because it will afford the public more 
time to estimate the merits and claims 
of ike work. 
For the honour of the age, it grieves 
us to learn, that the first nuinber of 
the Liberal as had an indictment pre- 
pared against it by certain busy bodies, 
and that a Grand Jury have returned 
a true bill against the publisher. We 
have not been among the approvers of 
the empirical spirit with which the 
rival rhymesters of the hour scek to 
quack themselves into vulgar cele- 
brity, and we therefore do not justify 
the bad taste with which they have 
severally blended religion with their 
ridiculous controyersics ; but bad taste 
Literary and Philosophical Intelligence. 
[Jan. 1, 
ought to be corrected by public opi- 
nion, and not by the interference of 
law. In this case public opinion had 
decided, and the publication in ques- 
tion had become harmless by not be- 
ing read,—just like its precursor, the 
Vision of Judgment, which had sunk 
still-born, and would never have been 
read beyond the month of its publica- 
tion, but for its travesty. Nothing 
but the irritability of genius could 
have stimulated Lord Byron to reply 
to the Laureate : it was an eagle enter- 
ing into formal contact with a tom-tit! 
His lordship has, however, brought a 
whole rookery upon him, and the ex- 
pected tragi-comedy at Westminster, 
in creating great public interest, will 
at least serve the purpose of a thousand 
puffs and advertisements. If the ge- 
nius of certain modern scribblers tran- 
scends in any thing, it is in the art of 
rendering themselves notorious, and 
in profiting by the gullibility of their 
cotemporaries, whatever may be their 
reputation with posterity. 
A Narrative is in the press of the

dier Guards, F.R.s. and member of the
