 reading in many fciences, particularly in natu- 

 ral hiftory, which he has fuccefsfully evidenced 

 in his Giornak d'ltalia fpettante alia Scienza 

 naturale. This excellent review gives an ac- 

 count of all Italian books, difcoveries, and efta-

 and knowledge in the French and Italian lan- 

 -guages, have been juftly admired in feveral ori-
