six vols. folio; he died in 1750.),* which, 
if he does, he does truly at a humble dis- 
tance. M. Coppi shows, that he is influ- 
enced by patriot love ; but this sacred 
term is, too often, but the veil of frightful 
prejudices, which themselves produce the 
country’s misery. : 
Se la Febbre Gialla sia, ono, un Contagio, 
&c.— Whether, or not, the Yellow Fever be 
contagious ? a subject of discussion between 
the Physicians of Europe and of America. 
Memoir, by Dr. GaETANO Pattont. Leg- 
horn, 1824.—Dr. P. declared his opinion, 
that it was contagious, in 1804: he now re- 
publishes the same opinion, supporting it 
by fresh facts and observations. He con- 
ducts the discussion with remarkable im- 
partiality; and presents, with the utmost 
fairness, the arguments most favourable to 
his antagonists. He proyes not only his 
own high professional attainments, but, 
which is still more honourable, his zeal for 
the welfare of society. 
Dr. F. Criveitr (Verona, 1823-4) has 
published a Chronological History of 
Rome (3 vols. 8vo.), from the time of 
JEneas to that of Constantine Paleologus, 
i.e the capture of Constantinople in 1453, 
by Mohammed II. Dr. C. follows Diony- 
sius and Livy, too closely perhaps ; 
but it is’ evident, throughout, that he is 
more influenced by a desire to instruct his 
readers, than a vain ostentation on his own 
art. 
' Le Odi di Pindaro, §&c.—Odes of Pindar ; 
translated hy M. G. BorGut, and dedicated 
to Chevalier V. Monti. Florence, 1824. 8vo. 
—M. Borghi always wears the air of origi- 
nality, though he is only a translater; but 
one that every friend of classic literature 
will honour. Horace, the only Roman 
poet who approached Pindar, has cele- 
brated the ‘* Direean Swan,” as a model 
of most dazzling splendour (lib. iv., 2, 25). 
The first Italian who ventured to translate 
this great master of the dithyrambic lyre, 
was A. ADIMARI (Pisa, 1631); but he 
himself, excellent as his performance was, 
regarded it only as a paraphrase. Many 
other unfortunate attempts were made, till 
M. Costa, of Padua, succeeded better, in a 
translation into Latin verse. Since which, 
Professor A. MrzzANoTTe, and M. C. 
LvccuHeEsstnt, have followed; and M. L. 
has lent great assistance .to his, even- 
tually, more successful rival, M. Borcrt, 
who will, perhaps, himself take up Pindar’s 
much-neglected lyre.

*In 1700, he had the care cf the Duke of Modena’s

Atheism, and obliged to justify himself to Pope 
Benedict XIV., who received his apology with kind-

much and merited importance to tlie 
Egyptian collection of M. Drovetti, and to 
the doctrines of M. Champollion ; which 
doctrines the author steps forth, boldly 
to maintain.

A Manual of the History of Literature. By 
Dr. L. Wacuter. 3d edit. Frankfort-on- 
the-Maine, 1823. 8vo.—This interesting 
and yery able volume forms the second of a 
History of the Literature of the Middle 
Ages, which will probably be comprized in 
three volumes. 
De Romanorum Adilibus—A Dissertation 
on the Ediles of the Romans. By P. G. 
Scnuusperr. Konigsberg, 1824. 8v0. — 
This is only a prodromus, an essay, or, in 
fact, a proémium, in which M. Schubert, 
thinking that the offices of the Roman 
magistracy have been too much oyerlooked, 
anneunees a much Jarger work, in four 
volumes, to be peculiarly appropriated to 
the examination of the office of edile, ple- 
beian arid curule. 
Volisttindiges Handbuch der neuster Erd- 
beschreibung—Complete Manual of Modern 
Geography. By Mess. GaAsrari, HassEt, 
CANNABICH, GUTSMUTHS, and UKEer?. Wei- 
mar, 1822. Institut Géographique. . T. 
xiv. xv. xvi. 8vo.—This institution has 
been long engaged in this laborious and im- 
portant work ; but the three volumes now 
announced are the contribution of M. 
Hassel towards a manual, which will be 
the most complete that we possess in this 
branch of human knowledge. 
Der Heilige Chrysostomus—St. Chrysostom, 
or the Voice of the Catholic Church, proclaim- 
ing that the Perusal of the Scriptures by Fe- 
males is a Practice not less salutary than 
edifying. By Professor L. VAN Ess, D.p. 
Darmstadt, 1824. 1 vol. 8vo.—A publication, 
the subject of which will naturally excite in- 
terest, wherever the controyersy about the 
distribution or non-distribution of tran- 
slations of the Scriptures is agitated.

lic Education. Spoken by M.P.J. DrEstR1- 
VEAUX, Professor and Rector of the Univer- 
sity of Liege. 1824. 8vo.—This excellent 
little performanee, well arranged, and full 
of close reasoning, will, by no means, at~- 
tach disadvantageous reflections to the 
scholastic pursuits of the Low Countries. 
Analyse Historique et Critique, &c.— His- 
torical and Critical Analysis of the Origin and 
Progress of the Rights (civil, political, and 
religious ) of the Belgi and the Gauls, during

J. RaEpsaet, Councillor of State, &c. First

animates the ancient loyalty of the Belgi: 
his life is spent in honourable deeds, useful
