‘therto purfued by. governments. 
The moft important work that ap- 
peared upon political economy, pro- 
perly fo called, was ‘“ Ueber National 
Induftrie, &c.” (On National In- 
duttry and Political Economy,) by Pro- 
feffor Luper, of Brunfwick; in which 
he follows and illuftrates the principles 
of the celebrated Adam Smith. Ano- 
ther ftatiftical writer, Profeflor Noxr- 
MANN, of Roitock, pubiithed a trea- 
tife relative to the ‘“* Freyheit des Ge- 
traidehandels,” (The Freedom of the 
Corn-trade), in which he maintains 
that it fhould be left free and unre- 
atrigted. 
A number of other authors gave us 
their thoughts relative to the preven- 
tion of begging; infurance-offices, and 
inflitutions againft lofies by fire, and 
afylums and provifions for the infirm 
and poor. 
In Bavaria, where the government 
at prefent encourages free inquiry, 
many diicuffions and pamphlets ap- 
peared for and againft the ecclefiaftical 
and political reforms lately introduced 
in that country. Much good effect is 
expected from Baron ARETIN’s new 
journal, entitled ‘* Der Genius von 
Baiern unter Max. IV.’’ (The Genius 
of Bavaria under Maximilian IV.) In 
Saxony again feveral plans came forth 
for the encouragement of manufac- 
tures: and we find many very ufeful 
obfervations relative to policaleconomy 
in Bohemia, in the third volume of the 
“© Staatswirth{chaftlichen Aufsatze in 
firenger Beziehung auf Zeitum- 
ftande und befonders in Ruckficht 
auf Bohmen.’’—Thefe, as well as other 
fimilar productions, will likewile be 
found interefting and important by the 
ftatiftician. ‘The fame may be faid of 
fome of the publications on the Peace 
of Luneville, which caufed fo many 
changes in the ftate of Germany. 
Notwithftanding this peace might be 
expected to render the military fciences 
lefs generally interefting; yet there 
were not wanting cultivators of it, 
who gave to their productions the 
charm of novelty by a reference to 
recent events. Befides the hiftorical 
works, which we fhall have occafion 
to notice farther below, there appeared 
feveral good theoretical ones on Tac- 
tics, &c. One of the moft important 
was Count ROCHEAYMONn’s (Aide-de- 
camp to the late Prince Henry of 
Pruffia) ‘* Introduction a i’Etude de 
Retrofpea of German Literature—Geography, Fe 
PArt de Ja Guerre,’ which was like- 
wife publifhed in German. The late 
VENTURINI, of Brun{wick, author of 
feveral efteemed military productions, 
gave us a ** Mathemati{ches Syftem der 
reinen Taktik” (Mathematical Syf- 
tem of Tactics.) 
Various publications likewife appear- 
edon feparate parts of the military fer~ 
vice. Count DouNa (formerly Aide-de- 
camp of the Pruffian General Knobelf- 
dorf,who gave an Account of the Cam- 
paign of the Pruffians againft France in 
1794) furnifhed ‘*Inftru@tion fur Com-~ 
mandeurs der Infanterie.”’ (Inftructions 
for Commanders of Infantry.). M. Von 
PAUMGARTEN, of Vienna, an “* Ab- 
handlung uber den Dienft der leichten 
Truppen im Felde’’ (Treatife on the 
Field-fervice of Light Troops, founded 
on Prattical Principles.) M. Von 
EWALD, of Slefwig, author of feveral 
works on the ufe of light troops, wrote 
“<< Vom Dienft im Felde fur Unter-of- 
ficiere der Infanterie, &c.’? in which 
he gives inftruGlions to fubaltern offi- 
cers relative to field-fervice, .and to 
fuch perfons unacquainted with the. 
military art, who on fudden emergen- 
cies are appointed to guard the coafts 
or pailes with new inexperienced le- 
vies.—The Journal entitled the ** New 
Bellona,” like the older one of the 
fame name, contains contributions to- 
wards military hiftory, and the im- 
provement of the art of war.

VELS. 
Befides Baron Von Zacn’s * Monat- 
liche Correfpondenz fur die Erd-und 
Himmelfkunde” (Monthly  Corre- 
fpondence, &c.); which, however, is 
more devoted to aftronomy and ma- 
thematicsthan to ftatiftics and political - 
geography ;—the ‘* Geographifche E- 
phemeriden,” publithed by BERTUCH 
and Gaspari, of Weimar, continue 
to communicate to the friends of thefe 
{ciences every thing new relative to 
them in Germany and other countries. 
Thefe Geographical Ephemerides are 
diftinguifhed for early intelligence, as 
the editors have regular correfpondents 
in London, Paris, Peterfburg, and 
other places——-The moft formidable 
rival of this Journal is that publifhed 
at Vienna, by Baron LICHTENSTERN, 
and entitled an ‘* Archiv fur Geogra- 
phie und Statiftiks,’ (Geographical 
and Statiftical Magazine); 1n which 
we meet with many inftructive articles
