I1 - j Literary and Philosophical Intelligence. 68 
publication, and many original works 
arc announced. The sale of books is 
favourable to these extensive specula¬ 
tions. Among the number of works 
thus in progress are :— 
A pocket edition of the English Poets, 
in sixty volumes, to be edited by Sir 
John Byerley. 
A pocket edition of the Latin Clas¬

Animals, by MM. St. Hilaire and 
Cuvier. 
The Anatomy of Man, by MM. 
Beelard and Cloquet, with 240 
engravings in lithography, by Count 
Lasteyrie, whose lithographic per¬ 
formances are the wonder of all Eu¬ 
rope. 
Reports of the Speeches and Opinions 
delivered in the Public Assemblies of 
France between 1789 and 1815, in 2i 
volumes; forming a body of political 
opinions and senatorial eloquence with¬ 
out parallel. 
The Chevalier Bupin’s great 
work on the Public Establishments of 
Great Britain, is in progress, the naval 
part being now in the press. This work 
is a compliment to our nation which has 
never been exceeded, and merits the 
attention and respect of every British 
patriot. 
Most of the hooks of education, on 
the English interrogative system, have 
been printed or are translating with all 
expedition in Fi ance for the use of the 
public and other schools. 
General Joubert is printing an 
account of his travels and sufferings in 
Peisia, which have a general interest, 
for the variety of their information ; 
and a special interest in England, owing 
to the disgraceful policy of which he 
was the victim. 
ITALY. 
Canova has just finished a master¬ 
piece on the subject of Theseus slaying 
a Centaur. 
GERMANY. 
M. Gau, the architect, a native of 
Cologne, has just entered into an en¬ 
gagement with Cotta, the bookseller, 
at Stutgard, for the publication of his 
Travels in Egypt, Nubia, and Pales¬ 
tine. The drawings represent ancient 
monuments altogether unknown till 
now. This is the first tour of the kind 
undertaken by a German, and the re¬ 
sult will add greatly to the honour of 
the country, and of those concerned 
in this publication. 
From the great influx of manufac¬ 
tured stuffs, and the considerable stock 
on hand, the prices of Manchester, Glas¬ 
gow, and other goods, at the last 
Easter Leipsic Fair, taken in the 
aggregate, have fallen from 10 to 20 
per cent, and the introduction of the 
recent improvements ill machinery 
throughout Germany, &c*. affords proof 
that the British manufactories will 
soon meet with powerful rivals, parti¬ 
cularly with regard to calicoes ; as the 
Mulhausen goods, both in body and 
colour, have a decided preference. 
In literature much business has been 
done, and notwithstanding the restric¬ 
tions laid by the Congress oil the liberty 
of the press, the general complaint of 
there being little demand for books, 
owing to the general depression on the 
minds of the people, from the circum¬ 
stances which always succeed a long- 
war, we learn by the Leipsic half- 
yearly Universal Catalogue, that 393 
German booksellers have delivered no 
less than 3,322 new articles. This 
far exceeds the publication of former 
years, a sign that human learning, in 
spite of various hindrances, stands 
higher and higher in the scale of per¬ 
fection, and reflects great honour on 
the author, publisher, printer, and 
engraver, whose industry must produce 
the happiest effects on the public mind 
in the civilized parts of the world.—
