‘¢ E] Hombre Fifico, obra del Abate

—Phyfical Man, by D. Lorenzo Hervas, 
Abbot, vol. 1. in gto. We ‘had fome 
reluétance in placing this article in the 
clafs of Natural Hiftory, becaufe the au- 
thor has fomewhat deviated from his title, 
by entering into the moral and metaphyfi- 
cal relation of man.

third century, but that the honour of the 
‘production belongs to our owntimes, and 
we hope it lofes no portion of its merit on 
‘this account: whether ancient or modern, 
it is an extraordinary effort of humap ge- | 
‘nius, and will be read with enthufiafm as 
long as the fublime works of Homer, Virgil, 
Lucan, Taffo, and Milton thall impart en- 
“joyment.
