it iswell known, that at the eruption of 
Mount Vefuvins, June 16th, 1790, there 
fell cut of the air many ftones, of conh- 
derable fize, on the coaft of Sienna. 
This thower of ftones has given occaficr 
to a number of polernical writings rela- 
tive to it. Befides the paper of the Abbé

The recent productions on the fubjeét

interefting. Monvecera, who tranf- 
Jated the works of FrR1ITZE, on the ve- 
nereal malady, has alfo publifned his own 
obfervations on this difeafe, under the 
title of Annotazioni fopra di Mali Venerii, at 
Milan, 1794, in 8vo. STRAMBIO has 
republifhed his former Memoir on the 
Pellagre, an endemic diforder peculiar to 
the inhabitants of the Milaneze, with 
confiderable additions. (At Milan by 
Bianchi, 1794, in 8vo.) The Cicono- 
mical Society of Verona, among other 
Memoirs which they have crowned, have 
publithed, lufiraxiont della Tair dt 
Caldiero, nel difiritto Veronexe. (At Vero- 
na, by GuUILIART, 17953 in gto.) The 
phyficians BonGrovanny and Bansr- 
ERI drew up the narrative, which they 
prefaced with a history of thofe Hot 
Baths, not a little interefting to the 
“amateurs of antiquities and philology.

Pafquale di Pictro, fent to Paris, at his 
own charge, a young phyfician, of great 
promile (Aldruoali) to be under the-tui- 
tion of the celebrated Le Roy. Pafquale, 
afterwards, with the permiffion of the 
pope, founded a profefforthip, for illuftrat- 
Ing the art of midwifery, at the Archigyz- 
najiun della Sapienza, at Rome, to the 
chair cf which the fame Afdrubali was 
apoointed. Two annual prizes were alfo 
founded by Pafquale, confifling of a me- 
dal af cold and another of filver, to be 
awarded to the pupils who fhould ev ince 
the greateft ae eee Aidrubali ma- 
nifeited no lefs zeal for the improvement 
of the art, by taking upon himfelf the 
tuition of a number of female pupils, at 
the hofpital of St. Roch. sis a taft in- 
fiance of his public {pirit, Pafquale found- 
ed a fchool for the inftruction of deaf 
and dumb perlons, devoting much of his 
own time to the duties of the inftitution. 
The Elementi di O,tetricta, \ately publith- 
ed at Rome, by profeffor ASDRUBALT, 
in two volumes, in 12mo. with cuts, 
may be farther confidered as the fruit of 
Pa(quale’ s zeal for the improvement of 
midwifery. This work is more popular 
in Italy than even the Lexione di Offe- 
tricia, by VALLE, and demonftrates Af- 
drubali to be equally confummate in 
the theary and practice of his art. His 
Pelvimetro digitale, which he detfcribes in 
the 35th page of the frit volume, is par- 
ticularly defervi ing the attention of the 
faculty. 
Count Francis Bonzl, of Rimini, 
who “diftincuifhed himfelf, in the year
