a8 Notices respecting New Books. 
The Editor of this Almanack states, in a concise preface, 
that * he has been desirous to draw into a narrow compass much 
useful information on several topics of general interest amongst 
well-informed men of all classes. He has aimed at correctness 
as well as utility, and hopes that, to a considerable extent, both 
objects have been attained. In our judgement his attempt is 
completely successful ; and we the more cordially recommend 
his production to our readers in general. 
We have heard it rumoured that this Almanack has been com- 
posed by Dr. Gregory, Professor of Mathematics in the Royal 
Military Academy: in this case we know net why he should 
withhold his name, as so useful a compendium is not likely to | 
deduct any thing from that gentleman’s well-earned reputation.
