The French minifter of the interior 
‘has direéted the members of the council 
of agriculture to publiih, under the auf- 
pices of government, an accurate edition 
of the Theatre of Agriculture, by OLIVIER 
DE SEVRES, with fuch notes and addi- 
tions as they fhall judge ueceffary. In 
his letter to the members, the minifter 
fays: ‘€ I think T am diftfarging one. of 
the duties of the miniftry which is en- 
trufted tome, when’ I propofe to you 
thus to ferve the public, and, to render a 
jutt homage to the firft, arid mof uieful, 
of French agronomical writers.” The 
fir edition of this work, which is much 
valued in France, and which, in eight 
books, and 110 chapters, treats, atlength, 
ef every branch of rural economy, was 
printed in 1600. | 
The national inftitute, in its general 
fitting of the sth Thermidor, has filled 
up the places vacant by the death of 
RAYNAL and DELEYRE. BoucHAun, 
profeffor of public law, in the college of 
¥rance,and ancient member of the aca- 
demy of infcriptions and belles lettres, 
and TouLtonGEéon, have obtained the 
majority of fuffrages, the firft to replace 
RAYNAL, andthe fecond DELEYRE. 
The Rey. Dr. SoMERVILLE, of Jed- 
burgh, has, fome time fince, finithed, 
and is expeéted foon to publith a /econd 
wolume of his Hiftory of Political Tranf- 
actions, &c. He had had accefs to feve- 
ral important collections of original pa- 
pers, unknown to others. In this fe- 
cond volume; ha has eatered more largely 
than in the former, into the general, ci- 
Varieties, Literary and P hilofopbical.

vil, and military hiftory of the period of 
which he treats. Jt will be found to 
throw much new light upon the tranfat- 
tions of the reign of Queen Anne. It is 
a publication very earneftly expected by 
all who have had occafion to admire the 
induftry, the candour, the difcernment, 
con{picugus in the former’ part of the 
Doétor’s work. 
Hopes are, entertained, by the friends 
of the Rev. Dr. JoHN Erskine, of 
Carnock, one of the minifters of Itdin- 
burgh ; aman who, although heir to an 
ample fortune, difdained not, in youth, 
to betake himfelf tothe humble employ- 
ment of a Scottifh clergyman; in whole 
whole life have been unoftentatioufly dif- 
played all the fanétity and wifdom of a 
faint and of a fage; may'probably be in- 
duced, notwithftanding his great.age, to 
publifh a volume of fermons on the truth 
of the Chriftian religion, on purpofe to 
“counteraét, in a fairer way than by profe- 
cutions at lacv, the influence of thofe ma- 
nuals of infidelity which have been, of 
late, fo plentifally difperfed, and fo ea- 
gerly read, throughout Britain. 
That ingenious. naturalit, Mr. Wetr, 
of Edinburgh, continues daily to augment 
the number of the f{pecimens in his mu- 
feum, already the moft valuable and com- 
plete in Scotland. No ftranger of liberal 
curiofity, ought to vifit Edinburgh wick. 
out taking care to gratify and inttruét his | 
mind, by a view of this fine colleétion of 
the moft interefting fubjects of natural 
hiftory.
