Fife of the renowned patron faint of Bo-

KoKe’s ‘§ D'ff-rration on the re-appear- 
ance of the Meffiah,”’ which cbrained the 
prize from the theological facu]ty in the 
univerfity of Géttingen, is likewile ad. 
vertifed for fale in the Catalogue. It 
often happens :nat a fecond auvmented 
and correéted edition of a work of im- 
portance is of more value than a dozen 
{pick-and-fpan new ephemeral produc- 
tions in the theological department of 
{cience. This 1s undoubtedly the cafe 
with refped&t co the new editions of the 
venerable REINHARD’s “ Moral”— 
Moral Divinity, and the frank and li- 
beral-minded HENKE’s “ Kirchen-ge- 
{chichte”—Eccelefi ical Hiftory. 
The gentlemen of the law will cer- 
tainly fet ic down as an agreeable acqui- 
fition, that the acute FeverBacsu, of 
Jena, has favoured us with a * Letirbuch 
des Criminal Rechts’”—Textbook of Cri- 
minal Law ; and the very learned ReEr- 
TEMEYVER, of Frankfort on the Oder, 
with an * Allgemeines teutf{ches Ge- 
fetzbuch”—General Code of German 
Laws.—ZERBoNI’s ‘ Prace(s,”’ relative 
to which the oppofite party are now 
publifhing fome curious documents, has 
brought forth a counter-piece in Hunga- 
ry, under the title of “ Majeftat’s Pro- 
zeffe”—Trials for High Treafon.—The 
Kantian fyftem of jurifprudence, to 
which even fuch profeffors of the law, 
as had many years ago finally determined 
upon their plan of inftruétion, and made 
a fair copy of their leQures, are forced 
to direét their attention, on account of 
the noife made by the partizans of the 
new {fchool, has been rendered more pa- 
latable by the diligent MELLIN, as far as 
in him lay, by adding marginal notes and 
indexes. Finally, it likewife deferves to 
be mentioned, that we may expeét foon 
to fee publifhed a feparate “* Transrhenan 
Code of Laws,” for the German-French 
citizens in the provinces difmembered 
from the Germanic empire, towards 
which much preparatory matter is libe- 
rally furrifhed from Berlin and Coblentz 
through the medium of journals and ma- 
azines. 
The Medical Faculty may boat of pro- 
Portionably by far the greateft number 
of important new produétions at the 
Michaelmas-fair; which, indeed, mutt 
pot alvays be eflimsted according to 
their bulk and the number of fheets; as

titioners of the Obftetric Art; entitled, 
“ MartTEen’s (of Jena) Kritik der 
neucften Geburtszange, nebft Abbildun- 
gen einer neuen” —Criticai Obfervations 
on Obftetrical Forceps of the neweft 
conftruétion, with a reprefentation of one 
invented by the author ; and WIGAND'S 
(of Hamburgh) “ Beitrag zur Theore-

wards the Theory of Midwifery.—Not 
lefs interefting, in another department of 
the Science of Medicine, is WARDEN- 
BURGS (of Gottingen) Inaugural Dif- 
fertation on the **Yellow Fever.” —Two 
Obfervations, which we found completely 
confirmed on perufing this new Cata- 
logue, enable us to make various conclu- 
fions and conjeétures relative to the courfe 
which the ftudy of medicine will pro- 
bably take in Germany. The one 1s, 
that, to the great advantage of the 
{cience in general, comparative anatomy 
and general zoonomy continue more and 
more to gain ground ; and, im conjunc- 
tion with animal chemiftry, render 
broader and broader the bafis on which 
alone the healing art can acquire a firm 
footing, without endangering itsown ex- 
iftence ard that of others.—Citizen Cu- 
VIER’s grand work on Comparative 
Anatomy, becomes more interefting and 
valuable to the Germans, by the excel- 
lent tranflation and additions of his dif- 
ciple and friend, FiscHER of Mentz. 
Of WIEDEMANN’s “ Zoological and 
Zoonomical Magazine” the fecond aum- 
ber has appeared, to the great fatif- 
fa€tion of thofe whe are accurately ac- 
quainted with the excellent plan of the 
work, and the extenfive conneétions of 
the Editor ; and more numbers will foen 
follow, as the journal now thrives im- 
mediately uncer his own eye.—As a 
confequence of thefe exertions, and of 
tre ftudy of natural hiftory being every 
where purfued with ardour and activity, 
we may reckon likewife the more dili- 
gent application to the improvement of 
the veterinary art, of which feveral 
proofs appeared in this Catalogue; as for 
inftlance, Sroxtzs’ (of Switierland)
