same spirit of benevolence and philoso¬ 
phy which leads the author to do ample 
justice to, and to bestow appropriate 
eulogiums upon every thing which ap¬ 
pears to him grand, useful, or beautiful 
in our institutions, our operations, our 
establishments, our edifices, and our 
public works. In his introduction, he 
says— 
u Let us seek, above all, to do justice to 
the measures which have been conceived 
and executed by the English government, 
to raise their navy to the degree of strength 
and splendour, which have been produced 
by laws full of prudence, grandeur, and 
wisdom. Nothing can give us so high an 
opinion of this government as an examina¬ 
tion of its conduct to its own agents. We 
shall then see it religiously strict in its 
respect towards acquired rights, and, above 
all, faithful to its promises ; magnificent in 
exciting future, and generous in rewarding 
past, services; careful of the happiness and 
health of its defenders, and sparing of 
their lives ; finally, compassionate to its 
invalid servants, charitable to their wi¬ 
dows, and fatherly to their orphans. These 
are virtues worthy of imitation by all na¬ 
tions : these are virtues, the benefits of 
which, distributed with liberality, have 
produced those noble sentiments of grati¬ 
tude, devotedness, and enthusiasm, which 
have led to the undertaking of actions so 
great, and to the achievement of triumphs 
so glorious to the navy of Great Britain.” 
The naval part of (lie Travels of Mr. 
Dupinwill add greatly to the just cele¬ 
brity which he has acquired by his for¬ 
mer labours, and will certainly be re¬ 
garded as an appropriate monument in 
honour of the British navy, at a period 
when this navy has been raised to the 
highest degree of effect and perfection. 
Mr. Dupin’s descriptions are not merely 
confined to the materiel of the esta¬ 
blishments, and the physical part of 
their works; he makes us acquainted 
with the nature and spirit of the differ¬ 
ent institutions, and the relations of the 
legislature and the executive power 
with maritime operations. In our 
next Number we’shall give an extended 
account of Mr. Duping new work.
