own eye; every curious particular relative 
to which we may expect to find in HENKE’s 
copious ** Religions-Annalen,’’ which are 
ftill continued. 
On the mof proper method of. teaching 
religion, Mr. Nigemever, of Halle, has 
publithed a ** Lehrbuck fiir die obern Re- 
‘ligionskiafen gelehrter Schulen,’? which 
fupplies a long-telt prefling want, and in 
which animatrag zeal is joined to great 
comprehentibility and luminous. order ; 
fuch, indeed, as might be expeCied from 
the experience of the author, who, as di- 
reStor of the Padagogium, in Halle, in 
which about 150 young gentlemen of the 
firit families in “Germany are educated, 
has for many years taken upon himfelf the 
charge of initruciine the pupils in the 
principles of religion. 
JURISPRUDENCE. 
That, in the prefent violent collifion- of 
new and old times and do€trines, Jurif- 
prudence too comes in for its fhare of 
attention, appears fiom the continuation 
of HUFELaNn’s ‘* Beitrage zur Berich- 
tigung und Erweiterung der_ pefitiven 
Rechtswiflenfehaft, (Jena, Stah}.) and 
from the rapid progrcis of the ** Juridi- 
{cher Archiv,” which is fupported by the 
contributions of a Danz, a Gmelin, and a 
Tafinger, 
HABERLIN’s § Staatsarchiv’’ continues 
to communicate important ftate-papers. 
The bitter cup; which the Peace of 
Luneville prepared fer many of the mem- 
bers of the Germanic Empire, has loofencd 
the tongues of fome, who otherwife would 
never have fpoken. A Mry Wagner, 
of Mentz, lays before the Holy Roman 
Empire only “Fifty Political Queries ;” 
and from the fame place have come forth 
«* Free Thoughts on the Advantages and 
Difadvantages attending the’Pian of Se- 
cularization.”” Voss, known by his for- 
mer publications on this fubje&t, has 
given us another “+ Ueber die Schickfale 
der teutfchen Staatsverfaffung. 
Mupicine. 
Here we ftill fee a number of fiery 
champions under the Brunonian and Anti- 
Brunonian ftandard fiercely contending 
againft one another. A particular ac- 
count of thefe feuds may be found in the 
Medical Journals, edited by Dr. Réscu- 
LavuB, in Wurzburg, and by Dr. Hure- 
LAND, of Berlin. 
NaGeve has publifhed, at Duffeidorf, 
a new Effay to render the Brunonian Pa- 
thogony and Theory of Excitability in- 
telligible to Non-phyficians: and on the 
other hand FRENKER, of Vienna, with his 
new Humoral Pathology, boldly: enters 
Montuux Mac, N°. 82,’ 
the lifts agdinft whatever bears the name 
of Brunonian. 
Dr. AucusTin, of Berlin, gives us an 
account of the newelt Galvanic expem= 
ments that came within his circle of ‘Obs 
fervation. But what is (till more defery- 
ing of attention, though not announced 
in the Catalogue, is a new Number of 
Rit ter’s “ Contributions.”? M. Ritter 
now refides at Weimar, and is efteemed the 
mot profound of ail the Geiman Gal- 
Vanifis. 
Froriep, of Jena, has been reading 
Le&tures on the ingénious Craniolcopy of 
Dr. Gall of Vienna. Thefe leftures he 
has communicated to the public ia his 
entirely remoulded ‘* Darttellung der 
neven auf Unterfuchune der Verrichtun- 
gen des Gehirns gegriindeten Theorie der 
Phvfognomik des D. Gall in Wien.” _ 
It is with pleafure we announce the ap- 
pearance of the fecond volume of the 
“¢ Annales Inftituti Medico clinici Wur. _ 
ceburgenfis, J. N. THoman, Obfervat, 
iluftravit,’’ (Wirceb. Vid. Stahl, cum 
- fig. 8.) 
But in this department of f{cience the 
propaganda of the vaccine inoculation have 
again moft aftively eniployed their pens. 
The order of the police, prohibiting the 
practice thereof in the fuburbs, does not 
deter the patriotic Careno, of Vienna, 
from anncuncing,-in German and French, »: 
popular treatifes on the beneficent utility 
of the invention, nor from tranflating Dr. 
Jenner’s Work into the claffical language 
of Latium.—Dr. Herz, a Jewith phyfi- 
cian in Berlin, had given great offence 
to all the friends and promoters of vacci- 
nation, by his ‘¢ Epiftle to Dohmeyer.”” 
His <* Brutal inoculation,’ (for fo he 
termed the cow. pox, and was of opinion, 
that human nature would by the pre- 
valence of it become brutalized) could 
not*fail to call furth the moft violent op- 
pofition; and according!y we find an- 
nounced in the Catalogue no lefs than five 
polemical treaties againkt him. His 
entire refutation muft be left to time, 
which brings every thing to maturity, 
unlefs, indeed, experience fhould confirm, 
the opinion lately broached, that what 
are called the human-pox had a very 
brutal origin, viz. from the commixture of 
a difeafe of the cows with the miafma of 
a human 'tever. To thofe who wifh to 
acquire accurate information refative to 
the progrefs of vaccination in Germany, 
the Colie€tions publifhed by Heffert an 
Pilger wilh be moft acceptable.
