by EpwarRp Hype East, Eso.” &c. 
Mr. EasT 1s faidto have executed this 
very Important and arduous undertak- 
ing ina moft correct and judicions man- 
ner. The vaft accumulation of new 
ftatutes and adjudged cafes upon the 
fubject of Crown Law, has rendered a 
work of this nature very neceflary; and 
the prefent will be regarded by the pro- 
feflion, as a valuable addition to the 
books of authors already publifhed on 
this very extenfive branch of Englith 
yurifprudence, In the yéar 1789, Lord 
Kenyon, by the confent of the whole 
bench, gave Mr. Eaft permiflion to 
take a Copy of that collection of cafes, 
ot which, as Chief Juftice of the Court 
of King’s Bench, he was the depofi- 
tory. From feveral of the other judges 
he acknowledges to have received the 
molt liberal communications of their 
own MSS. and, particularly, from Mr. 
Juftice Gould. Thefe MSS. as they 
came from the molt authentic fources, 
carry with them, of courfe, the greatett 
authenticity;

Thefe Reports. have been prepared 
from the MSS. of Mr. Dickens, the

which theauthor, from fituation and ex- 
perience, was fo intimately acquainted.

. AGRICULTURE. ; 
Dr. HUNTER has publifhed anew Edi- 
tion, very much enlarged, of the 
‘* Georgical Effays.” 
Thefe volumes contain communica- 
{tions from different gentlemen, but the 
election is unufually judicious; nothing 
frivolous is admitted, but every paper 
has fomething of novelty, or intere(t te 
recommend it.
