‘World, is preparing for the prefs another 
work of.a fimilar kind, on a new plan, in 
which the errors of the former publica- 
tion will be corrected, and the religious 
opinions of the feveral fects more amply 
_ detailed. The author will gratefully re- 
ceive communications from any denomi- 
nation, which’are drawn up with preci- 
fion and accuracy. 
A work is now in the prefs, and will 
be publithed early in January, entitled, 
Annals of Philofophy, Natural Hiitory, 
Chemiftry, Literature, Agriculture, and 
the Mechanical-and Fine Arts, for the year 
.r8c0. It willform a large octavo vo- 
lume, and will be divided into three parts. 
x. Scientific, which contains an account 
of the difcoveries in natural philofephy; 
natural hiftory, mineralogy, and chemiftry 
during the year 1800. 2. Literary, which — 
_ comprifes a litt and concife account of all 
new Englifh publications, and the moft 
efteemed foreign books. 3. Miicellaneous, 
which includes an account of improve- 
ments in agriculture, arts, and manuiac- 
tures; a view of the progreis of the fine 
arts, and an obituary of eminent perfons.

as thofe ufeful publications are chiefly 
‘confined to political affairs, fo it will be 
the object of this work to exhibit at one 
“view the various improvements and dif- 
coveries in the feveral departments of 
{cience, literature, and the arts; and as 
in the compafs of a {mall volume a con- 
cife account only can be given of fo many 
important fubjects, references will in all 
- cafes be annexed, to enable the reader to 
purfue his refearches to the fountain-head, 
which muft be highly ufeful. Each de- 
partment will be confined to gentlemen 
whofe ftudies have made them moft com- 
petent thereto.
