Ar Ralie, in Saxony, a gentleman of 
Scotland is engaged in tranflating into 
Englith, Profeflor Becx’s, Explanation 
of the Kantian Philolephy. Mr. Beck 
is faid to underftand this philotophy ber- 
ter than any man in Germany ; but his 
explanation ts, in general, allowed to be 
as unintelligible as the text of his matter. 
Whether he is able to give fuch inftruc- 
tions to the tranflator as may remove the 
difficulties which others have met with 
in this fiudy.-time will determine. The 
inattenuon of our countrymen to the un- 
wearied perfeverance of Mr. Nitch, cer- 
tainly however affords little profpeét of 
remuneration to the labours of other 
commentators on this philofophy in the 
Englith language.

fofiicient encouragement.

‘In a Hate foreign Journal we find a no- 
tice by Dr. BLoen, of Berlin, of a horfe 
he had feen there abfolutely deftirure of 
hair, and which he confiders as a particu- 
lar fpecies in the caballine genus, as the 
neked dog of Egypt conftitutes one, ac- 
cording to him, in the canine gezus. 
The native foil of this fpecies is the’ 
marfhy ditri€ts of Perfia. It appearsthat 
three of them were brought oe
