, Atranflation, by very competent per- 
fons, is undertaken of CuviER’s much 
efteemed Leétures on Comparative Ana- 
tomy. 
A tranflation will be fhortly publithed 
of Mr. Martens’ Efai fur les Arma- 
teurs les Prifes, et furtout les Reprifes. 
‘To this work, which enters minutely into 
the fubject of recaptures, according to the 
Jaws and treaties of every principal mari- 
time power of Europe, will be iubjoined 
by theTranflator, additional netes, and an 
Appendix,further illuftrative of the work. 
We learn that Mr. THomson’s Collec- 
tion of Poems, announced laft month, will 
confilt chiefly,of Sonnets. ‘The Odes and 
Elegies will not be numerous, but the Son- 
nets will amount to upwards of one hun-

‘The Vaccine or Jennerian Inoculation, 
_ makes a more rapid progrefs upon the 
continent of Europe than even the moft 
benevolent and fanguine friends of huma- 
nity could have expected. One of our 
Correfpondents at Paris fates that its 
fuccefs in that city, where it was intro- 
duced by Dr. Woodville, exceeds even 
that in London. . Another, writing from 
Frankfort on the Mein, fpeaks of its fuc- 
cefs in terms equally favourable. A third, 
from Berlin,defcribes its general adoption; 
and the’King of Pruffia has erdered thofe 
individuals of the Pruffian army who have 
not had the fmall-pox, to be inoculated 
with the vaccine matter. Dr. Marshall, 
from Malta, writes, that an hofpital has 
been eftablifhed there, for its propagation; 
and that the firft cafe of the inoculation 
took place in prefence of the Governor, 
the Turkith and Algerine Refidents, &c. 
&c. He adds, that the Dey of Algiers 
has requefted to have the practice intro- 
duced into his dominions, We learn from 
the Medical Repofitory of New York, that 
the practice has fucceeded in mof of the 
American States. In England, confider- 
ing the obftacles oppofed by ignorance, 
fuperftition, aud the inveterate conceit of. 
aged practitioners, the new inoculation 
has been extended in a wonderful degree. 
¥t is however to be lamented, that the na- 
tural fmall-pox has occafioned a greater 
mortality during the laft year than in 
many previous ones; and although the 
parents who do not caufe their children to 
be inoculated for this fafe and mild fubfti- 
tute and preventive, have reafon, in fatal 
eafes, to accufe themfelves of having 
emitted to fave the lives of their children, 
we do not expeét that the vaccine inocu-

Jean Jacques RovussEav, at thetime 
of his death, left a manufcript fealed up, 
with efpecial direétions that it fliould not 
be opened till the firft day of the prefent 
eentury. This requeft was complied with 
by his friends and family, and the manu- 
{cript was opened in great form before the 
magiftracy at Beaugency, on the firft of 
January laft,in the houfe of Madame de St. - 
Foix, niece of the Abbé Condillac, who 
poffeffed the manufcript. It was found to — 
bear the following title, ‘* Roufeau Fuge’ 
de Fean Facques.”” In this work, which 
wil] make an otavo volume, he defends 
the purity of his intentions, and explains 
many of his thoughts and fentiments. 
The work is now in the prefs at Paris, 
and a tranflation will appear with all con- 
venient {peed in London. 
We think it our duty to guard the pub-~ 
lic againft an impofition which we under- 
tand is about to be attempted in London. 
A work of Rouffeau’s was publifhed in 
French in London, about the year 1780, 
by Sir Brooke Boorusy, and it is de- 
figned to print a tranflation of this ob- 
fcure book, as the identical relic lateiy 
brought to light in France. We hope 
this notice will have the effe& of inducing 
the perfons concerned, to defift from their 
difhonourable intention to defraud the 
ublic. 
The Abbé DeLiLLe, whofe Gardens 
and Georgics have been fo univerfally 
read, intends to tranflate Milton’s Para-

The two volumes of WI1ELAND’S Life of 
Ariftippus and of his Cotemporaries in 
Greece, lately publifhed at Leipzig, are 
reported to be fuperior to moft ot the late 
productions of that author. Two tran- 
flations into Englifh have been undertak- 
en, one by Mr. MELLIsH of Weimar, 
and the other by Mr. RosBinson at/ 
Frankfort. ° 
M. Borricer of Weimar has publith-

Several coloured engravings are added, as 
well as accounts of ancient menuments 
reprefenting the Furies.
