LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL 

 INTELLIGENCE. 



1. PROFESSOR HOSACK, of New- York, has 

 published A Catalogue of Plants contaiiied hi the Bo- 

 tanic Garden^ at Elgin, in the vicinity of New-York^ 



established in 1801. We sincerely congratulate the 



Professor on tlie success of his laudable exertions, and 

 shall endeavour, in a future portion of the Journal^ to 

 give some account of the Catalogue. 



2. The Editor of tliis work has printed, for distribu- 

 tion among his friends, a small pamphlet, entitled. Facts, 

 Observations, atid Conjectures ?'elative to the Generation 

 of the Opossum of North- America. In a letter to Mons-. 

 Routne, of Paris. 



3. A small work, on the subject of Longevity, or, 

 rather on the Longevity of Learned Men, by the 

 Editor, has been in the press for some time. From a 

 variety of circumstances, but particularly from a desire 

 to render the work as correct as possible, the sheets are 

 very slowly printed ; and it is not probable, that the 

 work will be published (or printed for distribution) i'n 

 less than two or three months.
