A new periodical work is announced, 
to be entitled, Annals of Englifh Hittory, 
being a Narrative of Events, that have 
accurred fince the conqueft in 1066, ar- 
ranged in chronological order, wherein the

Dr. ALEXANDER THOMsoON has in 
the prefs, a familiar work on the cure and 
prevention of difeafes. He propofes to 
include every, ufeful faét contained in 
Tiffot, Buchan, Wallis, Parkinfon, and 
other popular writers, with the improve- 
ments and recent difcoveries ; and he is 
printing itin a fmall type and fize, that it 
may be fold at a very moderate price. 
Dr. Batry will begin his courfe of 
lectures on the theory and practice of mid- 
wifery, andon the difeafes of women and 
children, on Monday, Ogtober 6, at 11 
o'clock in the morning, at his houfe, No. 
6, Great Mariborough-ftreet. 
Le@ures Difcontinued. Dr. Marsnat, 
is obliged, on account of his health, to 
difcontinue the Anatomical Leftures, and 
the Practical Anatomy, in Bartlet-court, 
Holborn-hill, On looking back to the 
time, he has been employed in Ana- 
tomy, now about feventeen years, he 
recolleéts labours which it is hoped have 
contributed to the advancement of the {ci- 
ence ; though the projects formed, have 
not been executed to'the extent intended. 
On withdrawing, he carries with him 
a grateful remembrance of the moft gener- 
cus and fteady fupport he has had from 
ftudents. Acknowledgements are alfo due 
to thofe medical characters, who have been 
pleafed to encourage the anatomical endea= 
vours in Bartlet-court, by a liberal neu. 
trality, or fairrecommendation. On this 
occafion too, he cannot help feeling with 
frefh force, the obligations to the fenior 
phyfician of St. Bartholomew’s Hofpital, 
in the years 1733 and 1784; under whofe 
patronage the demonftrations in anatomy 
commenced. ~ 
Dr. James ANDERSON, well known 
as the author of many valuable works on 
fubjeéts of rural and political ceconomy, 
has invented an improvement in the con- 
ftruétion and management of hot-houfes, 
from which that branch of gardeningd msy 
he expected to derivevery great advaan- 
tapes. 
Dr. Moyse, the ingenious blind lec- 
turer on natural philefophy, has lately, in 
his fummer retirement at Pittenweem, in 
Fifefhire, repeated, extended, and varied 
thofe experiments by which the identity of 
galvanifmandeleétricity was demonftrated. 
He has found, that the grand experiment fuc- 
ceeds juftas well with a column of copper, 
zinc, and moiftened clay, as with filver, 
zinc, and- wet palteboard. He has ob~ 
ferved fome remarkable variations in the 
production of gas in water, by the fhock 
from this galvanic column. And he has 
founded upon the whole, a curious theory 
of earthquakes, and of the manner in 
which the equilibrium of eleétricity is 
maintained between the earth and the at~ 
mofphere. 
The conduétors of the Montraiy 
PRECEFPTOR, over and above their ufual 
prizes in books, globes, and inftruments, 
value fitteen guineas per month, propofe 
in December to give the fum of ten 
pounds for the beft fet of Merchants’ Ac- 
count books, produced by any boy edu- 
cated in a public charity fchool. The 
truftees of fuch f{chools, it’ may be fup- 
pofed, will enforce an attention to this 
propofal on the part of the mafters. 
Mefirs. Cote and Levert, of Col- 
chefter, propofe to publith by fub{cription 
fix anthems, or pieces of facred mufic, fe- 
lected from the works of Arcangelo Co- 
relli, and applied to Englith words. It’ 
has long been the fubject of regret that 
this great mafter has left no fpecimens of 
vocal mufic; and to fupply, in fome de- 
gree, this defideratum, {everal movements, 
peculiarly adapted to the purpofe, have 
been feleéted from his works, and applied 
to Englifh words, in the form of anthems. 
Dr. Mitver’s long expected publi- 
cation of mufic to Dr. Watt's Pfalms and 
Hymns, and to the feleétion by Dr. Wil- 
liams, is nearly ready for the prefs. .
