of his genius are alreacy known to the 
public, by his ‘¢ Thirty Letters.” 
We learn from Oxford, that Mr. 
PRATT is printing, at the Clarendon 
Prefs, a Profpeétus of a New Polyglot 
Bible. This Bible is defigned for the 
more immediate ufe of Englifh ftudents. 
To the Hebrew original, and the author- 
ized Englith tranflation of the Old 
Teftament, will be united the Septu- 
agint, the Vulgate, and the Chaidee 
Paraphrafes, in parallel columns. The 
Samaritan Pentateuch, in Hebrew cha- 
racters, will be printed acrofs the foot 
of the page, under which will be given 
all the important various readings of the 
Hebrew text, cuolleéted by KaNNICOTY 
and Dp Rossi. “Tothe Greek original, 
and the authorized Enghth tranflation, 
of the New Teftament, will be united 
the old Syriac verfion, in Hebrew cha- 
racters, and the Vulgate. At the foot 
of the page will be given all the import- 
ant various readings of the Greek text, 
golleGied by Mili, Bengclius, Vettein, 
Griefbach, Birch, Matth. di Alter, &c. 
The Prolegomena will contain every 
thing moft important in the critical hif- 
tory of the originals and verfions. ‘The 
Profpeétus will exhibit fpecimens of the 
arrangement of the texts and verfions. 
Dr.-CricutTon of the Weftmintter

is, at prefent, at the prefs, and will ap- 
pear about the end of autumn. 
The reports announced in our laft 
from the Royal Hofpital at Plymouth, 
concerning the anti fiphylitic powers of 
nitrous acid, will appear in the fecond 
weck of September. The fhort delay 
has been occafioned by the acquifition of 
frefh intelligence concerning that and 
fome connected fubjects. 
A volume of ‘ fragments, in the man- 
ver of Sterne,” exhibiting the charaéters 
introduced in Triftram Shandy, and al-

appeared in “ The Courier,” and are

Birds, “ornamented with engravings on 
wood, by Mr. Bewicks. ‘Lhe work: 
will confift of two volumes, o€tavo, on 
diferent papers, to accommodate the-

fcen, we may venture to fay, the Hiftory 
of .Birds will more than rival that of 
Quadrupeds which Mr. B.. publithed 
{ume vears ago, although it was then 
fuppoled that the art of wood-engraving 
could not be carried to greater periedtion.
