Sketch of the principal Works in the laft Leipfic Fair. 
much is written on pedagogics as in Ger- 
many, a repertory for the various publi- 
cations on that interefting fubjeét was 
much wanted, fuch as Mr. GursmuTHs, 
of Schnepfenthal, has begun to publith, 
viz. * Bibliothek der padagogifchen Li- 
teratur, herausgegeben von Gutfmuth”— 
Library of pedagogical Literature, edited 
by G. (vol. i. |. 8vo. Gotha, Perthes.) 
The venerable, and now deceafed, 
Buscn, wrote, not long before his death, 
‘‘ Bin Wort uber die Nichtachtung ge- 
lehrter Kenntniffe in der Erziehung der 
Sohne und den daher it) renden Verfall 
der 6ffentlichen Lehranitalten, b-fonders 
in Ruckficht anf Hamburg’—A few 
Words on the Difregard of claifiical Eru- 
dition in the Education of Boys, and the 
confequent Decline of the public Schools, 
&c. (Hamburg, Hoffman); which, though 
originally, like al:noft all his writings, it. 
was originally calculated for the ‘meri- 
dian of Hamburg, will be read with ad- 
vantage every where elle. 
Lossius, author of ** Gumal and Li- 
na, has communicated pedagogical in- 
ftructions, in the pleafing form of a novel, 
entitled “* Meifter Liebreich” (vol. i. 8 vo. . 
Gotha, Perthes.). 
MATHEMATICS. 
Here we particularly recommend to 
the attention of our readers the late ce- 
‘lebrated KasTNER’s *¢ Gefchichte der 
Mathematik’’—Hilftory of Mathematics: 
4 
——the fourth and concluding volume of 
which has appeared (Gottingen, Rofen- 
bufch). : 
MisceLLaNni£s. 
We fhall firft notice, as a moft accent- 
able prefent to the public, Lica Ten- 
BERG’s * Vermifchte Schriften ;’’ of 
which the firft volume has been publifh- 
ed by the brother of the deceafed author, 
and by Profeffor Kries, of Gotha. 
Thofe who can relifh amiable fimplicity 
of character, joined to penetration and 
fprightly humour, will find a rich fund 
of entertainment in thefe remains of the 
author of the ‘ I ]luftrations of Hogarth’s 
Caricatures.” 
SCHILLER has colleéted his fmaller 
efthetical traéts, which were difperfed in 
various journals. Thefe tracts, no lefs dif- 
tinguifhed by the acutenefs and novelty 
of the thoughts than by the beauty of the 
ftyle, now form the /econd volume of his 
‘« Kleinere profaifche Schriften’’—Smal- 
ler Profe Writings—of which the fir/ vo- 
lume made its appearance foearly as 1792. 
Not lefs valuable, although in a dif- 
ferent department of {cience; are VELT- 
88IM’s “ Sammlung einiger Aufsitze hif- 
62.3 
torichen, antiquarifchen, mineralogifchem 
und 4@hniichen Inhalts’?? — Colle€tion 
of Effays on hiftorical, antiquarian, m= 
neralogical, and the like fubjeéts (2 vo-s. 
Helmftadt, Fleckeifen, |. 8vo). They are 
equally acceptable and intayefting to the 
antiquary and the mineralogift. 
The “ Propylaen,” an artiftical Jour- 
‘nal publidied by GOrHE, continue to 
difclofe the fecrets of anci.nt and modern 
z(t. 
Finally, the “ Allgemeine Repertorium 
der Literatur’—General Repertory ‘of 
Literature, by Dr. Erscu, of which 
the fecond quinguennium, comprehend- 
ing the years 1790-9$, in three quarto 
volumes, with a portrait of Herfchel on 
the tirle- page, has appeared, deferyes to 
be noticed as a moft praileworthy pub- . 
lication. |
