Lefs founded upon thefe than upon 
¢hemical principles, are the contribu- 
tions toward the improvement of phar- 
macy, which TromusporF of Erfurt, 
and Scnraus, of Cafiel, furnifh in 
the journals edited bythem. We mutft 
here likewife motice a well-executed 
work on an imtereftinge fubject, whic! 
has of late years attracted the atten- 
tion of phyficians; we mean Dr, 
SCHEEL’s, of Copenhagen, ‘ Hifto- 
rifche und Praktifche Bearbeitung der 
Transfufion des Blutes und der Ein- 
fpritzung der Arzneyen in die Adern,” 
(Hiftorical and Praétical Treatife on 
the Transfufion of Blood, and the In- 
troduction of Medicines into the Veins 
by Means of Syringes). 
At the Michaelmas-fair, befides 
tranflations of, or journals containing 
extracts from, the beft foreign medical 
periodical -publications, the medical 
works chiefly related to the Brunonian 
theory, the defence and explanation 
of which had again employed the pens 
of a confiderable nuimber of writers. 
A fubjeét which feldom engaged the 
“attention of phyficians was treated of 
in an ample manner in Prefefior Bat- 
HORN’s treatile ‘* Ueber die Declama- 
tion in Medicinifcher und Dietetifcher 
Hinaficht,’ in which he proves the great 
medical utility of declamation and read- 
ing aloud. 
_ AGRICULTURE, ECONOMY, &c. 
It is a well known charatteriftic 
trait of the Germans, that, however 
great their progrefs in the arts and fci- 
ences, they are attentive to appropriate 
to themfeives every improvement that 
may be derived from foreign countries. 
This was particularly manifefted in 
agriculture, economy, &c. HAHNE- 
MANN, tranflator of “‘ Young’s Annals 
of Agriculture,” Count PoDEWILLSs, 
"FHAER, VoN ENGEL, and other eco- 
nomifts,endeavoured to diffufé a know- 
ledge of Englith hufbandry, and to ap- 
ply the principles thereof to the culti- 
vation of their native country. Nor 
were the French economiits negletted, 
though the Germans are contefiedly 
fuperior to them. A much greater 
number, however, of original works 
on economy, than of tranflations came 
ferth at the Leipzig Eafter-fair. The 
economical focietics in Saxony, Bohe- 
mia, Efthonia, Livonia, &c. publifhed 
their Tranfactions. 
RieM, fecretary of the Economical 
Society at. Drefden, continued his 
** Sammlung vermifchter oOkonomif- 
Retrofped? of German Literature— Agriculture, Sc. 
cher Schriften,” (Colle@icn of mif= 
cellaneous Economical Effays); THAER 
and BENECKEN the ‘“ Annalen der 
Niedersachfifchen’ Landwirthfchaft,’” 
(Annals of Rural Economy in Lower 
Saxony). Lowe began ‘ Annalen 
der Schlefifchen  Landwirthfchaft,” 
(Silefian Annals of Agriculture, &c}. 
and STEINMULLER publifhed the firlt 
volume of a ‘“ Befchreibung dér 
Schweizerifchen Alpen und Land- 
wirth{chaft,” (Defcription of the Huf- 
bandry of Switzerland and the Alps); 
Friese the firft volume of “ Grund- 
sdize zur Verbefierung der Land- 
wirthfchaft in Liefland,’? (Principles 
for the Improvement of Rural Eco- 
nomy in Livonia). Much inftruction 
may be gained from the accounts given 
by Von EnceL and Count Popde- 
WILLs, of the experiments made on 
their eftates. Some general fyfemati- 
cal works on rural economy likewile 
appeared. Befides a fifth edition of the ~ 
** Grundsatze der Deuticben Land- 
wirthichatft,”” (Principles of German 
Hufbandry), by Profeflor BeckKMaNnn, 
of Gottingen, Profefior GorrHarp, 
of Erfurt, furnifhed, for the ufe of 
academical leGtures, a ‘* Syftem der 
Deutfchen Landwirthfchaft,” (Sytem 
of German Hufbandry) ; and, for the ufe 
of every clafs of rural economifts, a 
practical manual of hufbandry, entitled 
“Das Ganze der Land wirthichaft.” 
Several writers treated feparately of 
the various modes of cultivating grain, 
or wrete upon implements of huf- 
handry, on the blight in corn, on field- 
mice, &c. Pattor CHRisT, near Frank- 
fort on the Mayne, and SICKLER, of 
Thuringia, who had frequently before 
merited well of the pubhe by (their 
economical writings, continued to 
communicate in‘tra¢tions relative to 
horticulture, and in particular relative 
to the planting of orchards, and the 
proper treatment of fruit-trees. 
The increafing dearth of fire-wood 
has, of late years, directed the attention 
of the German economifts towards 
their woods and forefts: feveral of the 
princes have eftablithed {fchools and 
profeflorfhips for teaching the preper 
management of them. Of the good 
eftecis of-thefe inftitutions, and of 
the diligence and intelligence of the 
teachers, many proofs are given in the 
works that have been publithed on this 
interefting branch ef economy. Be- 
fides the le€tures of the profefiors, the 
twenty-~fixth volume of GATTERER’S:
