The cultivation of hemp and the manufacs

derable progrefs in this country. 
The maritime intercourfe between this 
country and Great Britain (which, before the

number of years paft, increafed with regularc 
and progreflive rapidity to its prefent. furprifing

confiderable branches of Irith and Britifh com-

gow. His ingenious and elaborate works, 
efpecially his <¢ inquiry into the Human Mind,’" 
and his “ Effays on the Intellectual,” and the 
*« Active Powers of Man,” are noble and lafting 
monuments of his eminent abilities, his deep 
penetration, and his extenfive learning. Dr, 
Reid’s merit as a teacher and an author is very 
generally known, He was unqueflionably one 
of the profoundett philofophers of the age, and 
although fome, who think it a proof of weaknefs 
to differ fom Mr. Hume, have flighted the 
ipeculations of Dr. Reid, and undervalued the 
mathematical precifion which he laboured to 
introduce, his Enguiry into the Senfes will, pro~ 
bably be coeval with our language. It is founded 
on fats, which mut Continue to intereit men 
while their conitiration continues unchanged. —— 
Ifany part of this admirable work were to be 
feleéted as the mot ingenious, the inquiry into
