nary, in one large volume, will not be ready

The lovers of Oriental literature will be

ral odes by Hafiz, the Anacrecn of Per- 
fia, is now almoft ready for publication ; 
—the litera] verfion is accompanied by a 
poetical paraphrafe, and prefaced by a bio- 
graphical and cri:ical account of this cele- 
brated poet; compiled for the beft au- 
tkorities, both manufcript and printed, by 
the Rev. Mr. HtnpLey, of Manchefter. 
Capt. Scort, the tranflator of Feri/hta’s 
Hiftory of India, the Behar Danafh, &c. 
will fhortly publifh a volume of mifcella- 
neous tales and romances, collected from 
various Arabian and Perfian authors. 
Major OUsSELEY’S “‘OrientalGeography” 
(which we mentioned in our Jaft number), 
will be {peedily followed by the firft vo- 
lume of a very extenfive and laborious work 
on the general Hiftory of Perfian Litera- 
ture, which will contain notices and anec- 
dotes of above fifteen hundred Perfian au- 
thors and manufcripts. 
The inoculation for the VACCINE POX 
bas been carried on extenfively in the 
courfe of the prefent year, and it appears 
to have afforded fufficient proof that it de- 
ttroys the capability of the human conftitu- 
tion, with regard to the variolous infection, 
and is generally a much flighter Gifeafe 
than the inoculated fmall-pox. On thefe 
points there feems to be bt one opinicn 
among experienced profeffional men. On 
fome other points there exifts a difference 
of opinion; but in whatever way thele 
fhall be decided, great advantages muft (ill 
remain from the fubftitution of the vac- 
cine for the {mall-pox. To fatisfy, how- 
ever, more generally the public mind, to 
accelerate the intreduction of the fubftitute 
inoculation, 2nd to clear up fome obfcure 
points, but efpecially to extend the benefit 
of the new practice, we are happy to be 
able to announce the csmmencement of an 
Institution folely for THE INOCU- 
LATION OF THE Cow-Pox. We learn, 
that at the weft end of the town a little 
fociety has been formed of gentlemen 
of the medical profeffion, who have held 
afew meetings at Dr. Pearson’s houfe, to 
which fome othe; friends of the members 
were invited, in order to organize the 
intended inftitution; and in confequence 
a confiderable progrefs has been already 
made in this laudable defign. It 1s pro- 
ofed to incculate the poor, who attend 
with letters of recommendatien at the in- 
fiitution; and, whenit fhail be nec: flary, to 
Literary and Philofophical Intelligence. 
[Jan. 1, 
attend them at their own habitations. Mes 
dicines, and perhaps fome articles of diet, 
may be afforded. A temporary houfe is 
fixed upon in Clifford-freet. Ihe efta- 
blifhment is honoured with the preteétion 
of his Royal Highnefs the Duke oF 
York, as Fatrou.u—The Medical Efta- 
blifhment are, George Pearfon, M.D.Law- 
rence Nicholl, M.D. phyfictans.— Thomas 
Keate, Efq. John Ratt, Efq. confulting 
Jurgeons.—Robert Reete. Efq. John Gun- 
ning, Efq. furgeons.—Augultus Brande, 
Efq. Francis Rivers, Efg.and Mr. Everard 
Brande, vifiting apothecaries. The other 
departments are not yet completely ar- 
ranged ; but the whole w'Jl be officially 
announced to the public in a very fhort 
time, and the practice will commence 
with the firft day of the new year. Al- 
though Dr. Woopv!LLE’s name does 
not appear among the phyficians (the pre- 
priety of which may beeafily imagined, from 
his cenneéticn with another holpital), we 
areaflured,that he meft liberally aids the In- 
ftitution with his fe: vices in other ref{pects. 
When we announce to the fub{crib- 
ers to Lavaier’s Payficgnomy and the 
public at large the completion cf that 
work, confilting of forty-one numbers, 
printed on imperia] quarto, we menticn not: 
acommon work. It bears the foliowing 
title: Effays on Phyficgnomy, defigued to 
promote the Knowledge and the Lewe of 
Mankind; by F. C. Lavater of Zurich. 
Tranflated from the Author's lafi Editioz in 
French by H. Hunter, D. D. Mlufirated 
by near fix hundred Plates, accurately co- 
pied, comprifing more than fyteen hundred 
Subjects ; with the Addition of many inter- 
efting Duplicates after well known Origi- 
nals, engraved by, or under the Direction 
of, Thomas Holloway. The execution of 
this work, the refuit of mo:e than ten 
years’ unremitted application,efpeciaily on 
the part ef the engraver, has given the 
greateft fatisfaGiion to the ‘ubfcribers; and 
we believe it is not go'ng too far, when we 
proncunce itto be the fineft print book that 
ever appeared in this cr any other country. 
It confifis of five volumes, imperial quarto, 
and is fold for thuty pounds, elegantly 
half-bound. A _profpedtus of thts work 
may be had, price fix pence, of the pub- 
lifhers Mcfirs. Murray and Highly, Fleet- 
ftreet. 
The Society for promoting medical and 
chirurgtcal Knowledge, who pubhfiied. the 
firft volume of their Tranfadizons in 1793s 
which was well received, havea fecond wo- 
lume very nearly ready for the prefs.
