—The learned author thinks that he has 
proven to demonstration, that, long before 
the time of the orator Crassus‘ (so much 
commended by Cicero, who introduces him 
as chief speaker in the treatise. de oratore, 
as combining to great abilities—as an orator 
and man of letters, the wisdom of a sena- 
tor, the intrepidity of a soldier, and the in- 
tegrity of a magistrate), the Italians 
wrought a marble, brilliant and white as 
that of Greece, with which their own soil 
abounded ; and that to the Italians, and 
not to the Greeks, as has been too gene- 
ally, but thoughtlessly admitted, belong 
the honours that have been attributed to 
many of the chefs-d’euvres of this magnifi- 
cent art. : : 
Poetice Aristotelis, §c.—The Poetics of 
Aristotle, with a new translation, into Latin,

dently the production of a man of learning

Gostfried von Stratsburg Verke. Works 
of Godfrey of Strasburg, published from the 
best MSS., accompanied by an Introduction 
and complete Glossary ; by F. H. Von DER 
Hacen. Breslau, 1823. 2 vols. 8vo., with 
an Engraving.— The German literati have, 
for the last twenty years, been ardent in 
the study of their chief national poets. 
Godfrey of Strasburg was one of the most 
distinguished in the 13th century. There 
remain of his works (in old German) lyric 
and didactic poems, and an epieo-romantic 
poem, entitled Tristan et Isolde; which last 
occupies the first volume of the present 
publication, together with a poetical tradi- 
tion of Thomas of Bretagne, which God- 
frey seems to have had in view, and other 
poems and interesting fragments. The 
second yolume contains all the other poems 
of Godfrey.

Berlin, 1824.—M. Burger is one of the 
classics of the German language ; the pre- 
sent edition of his works is published by a 
friend, and contains many heretofore un- 
published articles ; together with a proposal 
concerning impostures (which is a subject 
now much in agitation in Germany). 
NETHERLANDS. A 
Considerations, &:c.— Observations on the 
Nature of National Revenue ; by H.Storcu. 
Brussels, 1824. 8vo.—To pretend that the 
researches of political economists have been 
productive of no public benefit, would be 
as unjust as absurd ; but ill-timed assertions, 
absolute maxims, chimerical hypotheses, 
fantastical abstractions, and above all, the 
vain arguments of metaphysical obscurity, 
haye done much to render them valueless 
in the estimation of men who make good 
sense, and the dictates of “‘ sage experience 
old,’ the unvarying models of their con- 
duct. This new work by M. Storch is not 
free from these faults; but it neyertheless 
affords details of facts and remarks, that 
cannot be read without advantage ; the book 
manifests profound acquaintance with the 
subject ; but we cannot help considering, 
that truths’ the most incontestable, are 
sometimes stated with such careful atten- 
tion to minutia, as greatly to lose the effect 
which, naked and unadorned, they. cannot 
fail. to produce. The author occasionally 
rebuts the arguments and axioms of Adam 
Smith, but always with modesty and tem, 
per; he reserves all appearance of bitter- 
ness and venom for M. Say ; concerning 
whom, his manner of writing not unfre- 
quently betrays a degree of pedantry, and 
bad taste—but we are not now to learn that 
anger is a bad counsellor, Laie alae,
