tific Defcription of Auftria (Vienna, 
Doll, 8vo.), will, it is to be hoped, re- 
move much of the obfcurity in which 
the ftatiftics of that monarchy have hi- 
therto been involved. 
The changes which had for fome time 
pafi gradually taken place in the German 
body politic, called for fuch a work as 
‘ Hock’s Sratiftifche Ueberficht der 
Deutfchen Staaten, in Anfehung ihrer 
Groffe, Bevélkerung, Produkte, Induf- 
trie und Finanzverfaffung’—Statiftical 
View of the States of Germany, with 
regard to their Extent, Population, Pro- 
ducts, Manufaétures, and Finances (4 nos, 
fol. Bafle, Decker) ; and the violent re- 
volutions with which the Empire feems to 
be threatened, render it peculiarly inte- 
refting at the prefent moment. 
Among the books of Travels “ Nem- 
mMicH’s Reife von Hamburg nach Eng- 
land (Tubing. Cotta, 8vo.) is particularly 
worthy of attention, on account of the 
view which it gives of the Englith ma- 
nufaétures, which Mr. N. of Hamburg, 
author of avery valuable ‘‘ Waarenlexicun, 
in 12 Sprachen’’—Didtionary of Mer- 
chandize, in 12 Languages—examined 
with the eye of a competent judge. 
Of Karamsins’ “ Briefe eines rej- 
fenden Ruffen; aus dem Ruffifchen von 
Job. Richter’’—Letters ofa Ruffian Tra- 
veller, tranflared from the Ruffian into 
German, by J. Richter’—the third and 
fourth volumes have appeared (16mo, 
Leipzig, Hartknoch). 
L. von Baczxko’s « Reife durch einen 
Theil Preuffens’—Journey through a 
Part of Prulfia (2 vols. Mentz and Hamb. 
Vollmer), is an inftruétive work, and 
makes us better acquainted with a part of 
Northern Europe which had hitherte 
been but imperfeétly known. 
In Lenz's “ Bemerkungen auf Reifer 
in Danemark, Schweden, und Frank- 
reich” —Remarks during his Travels in - 
Denmark, Sweden, and France (2 vols. 
Gotha, Ettinger, 8v0.), we find much 
interefting information relative to the 
prefent ftate of the arts, fciences, and 
education, in a confiderable Northern 
Kingdom, and in the French Republic. 
SCHROTER’s “ See- und Landreife 
nach Oftindien und Egypten in den 
Jahren 1795-99’—Travels by Sea and 
Land to the Eaft-Indies and Egvpt, in 
the years 1795-99. (Leipz. Wolf), are 
remarkable in this refpect at leaft, that 
few German travellers have hitherto had 
an opportunity to give an account of what 
was to be feen in thefe remote counties.
