turning, is really unique, and compre- 
hens every thing the moft perfect artift 
an wifh to know; as it comprizes very 
judicious extracts from the moft fplendid 
and expenhve works of this kind that 
have appeared in England, Germany, and 
France. The rules iaid down by the au- 
thor are exiremely perfpicuous, and the 
pilates are both correét and elegant. 
ECONOMY. 
The laudable zeal which the Germans 
have manifefted for fome years pat, in 
cultivating the extenfive field of economy 
in all its bracches, ftill continues to. be 
ably fupported by a refpectable hott of 
practical writers; and it is but juft to fay, 
that the economical literature of th-ir 
country bids fair to prove mere valuable 
and interefting every fucceeding year. 
The ‘* Neue Forft-Archiv zur Erweite- 
rung der Fort und Jagdwiffenfchaft, &c.” 
formerly edited by the celebrated Wil- 
Jiam von Mofer, is continued by Dr. 
CHRISTOPHER, aud W. J. GaTTERER, 
affiited by feveral well known literati and 
experienced economifts. The 25th vo- 
lume of this valuable repertory has lately 
appeared, and is particularly rich in 
practical obfervations of the firft import- 
ance. 
J. Rrem and G. S. REUTTER have 
publithed the laft Number of their “ Oeko- 
nomifche-Veterinarifehe Heffte,”” a work 
that cannot but be very acceptable to all 
practical economifts, as it comprehends 
every thing ufeful that is found in the 
numerous works of the moft celebrated 
economical writers who have written upon 
the breeding and proper management of 
the principal domettic animals. 
M. Mepicuws, of Manheim, to whom 
Germany is indebted for feveral valuable 
works in this department of {cience, has 
publithed a volume of ‘Small Economi- 
cal Traéts,”” that are well worth the per- 
ufal of the lovers of economy. 
But the moi important work of this 
branch of literature that has lately ap- 
peared, is an ‘* Univerfal Hiitory of Po- 
mology, from the Times of the mof re- 
mote Antiquity to the Time of Confian- 
tine the Great, by Fr. K.L. SicKLer.” 
The Rev. Mr. Curist, who is gene- 
rally allowed to be one of the moft emi- 
nent theoretical and practical economitts 
of whom Germany can boaft, has pub- 
licly declared that this work, which was 
fabmitted to his opinion, before tt was 
fent to the prefs, fupplies a material want 
of our age, and that it is extremely well 
calculated to convey the moft valuable 
and interefting information to the lovers

Retrofppek of German Literature.— Economy, &e. 
of pomology, as it contains a moft fatiss 
factory hiftory of the improvement of the 
foil by means of the culture of frvif- 
trecs, the like of which has not yet beer 
at empted in any European country. This 
_work, being the fruit of long and labo- 
tious refearches, and of indefatigable dis 
ligence, which enabled the author, with 
unremiited affiduiry, tp collect all the re- 
quifite notices, trom the records of the 
moft ancient times, and difplaying a cri- 
tical acutenefs, peculiarly adapted to a 
compofition of fuch a nature, by uniting 
a refined judgment in the felection of his 
miterials, with the niceft caution will 
aff rd the moft ftriking inftruGtion to the 
hiftorian and antiquary, as well as to the 
lover of pomology. 
STATISTICS. 
The literature cf this fcience, in the 
cultivation of which the Germans have at 
all times maintained an undiiputed pre- 
eminence, becomes daily more interefting, 
and continually throws more light upox 
the financial and economical ftate of the 
numerous principalities of which Ger- 
many is compofed. The firft volume of 
the “* Neuefter artenmafliizer Zuftand der 
Scimmtlichen unter landesfirftluher Ver- 
waltung ftehenden Staats-Einktinfte und 
Staatlaughaben, in Bayern, N-uburg, 
Sulfbach, und der Oberplalz,”’ promifes 
a moft important work, as it is very evi- 
dent that the unknown author is fupported 
by the Bavarian Government, and has 
had free accefS to the eleétoral archives. 
Equally interefting to the ftatiftica!l en- 
quirer are Kazzi’s Statiftical Tracts 
concerning the Duchy of Bavaria, which 
are to be continued. 
J. M. Batimann, Profeffor of philo- 
fophy, geography, and hiftory, at Mey- 
diafch, in Yranfylvania, has publithed 
two Numbers of a Statiftical Ac-ount of 
that Country, which is to be continued 
quarterly, and is well deferving of the x€- 
tention of the lovers of ftatiftics. But 
mcore interefting for the readers of fuch 
works in general, is the ** New Sra- 
tiftical Survey of the German States, 
with refpect to their Extent, Population, 
Produce, Induftry, and Finances,” which 
is now publifhing at Bafil and Darmftadt, 
in numbere. The notices which this 
work details are colle&ted from the lsteft 
ftatiftical publications, the titles of which 
are given at large in the introduction te 
the furvey of each individual country.
