prudence, entitled ** Archiv des Cr. 
Rechts,” has been begun by FeEv- 
ERBACH, GROLMANN, and ALMEN- 
DINGEN, That thefe colleagues and 
co-editors, however, are not agreed 
about all the fundamental principles 
of their fcience, has already been re- 
marked in our laft Retrofpe&; and a 
further proof of it is to be found in 
ALMENDINGEN’S ‘ Unterfuchungen 
uber die Natur und das Princip der 
burglichen Straflichkeit,’’ &c.—-Inqui- 
ries relative to the Nature and Principle 
of Criminality in Civil Society, and of 
the Proportion of which Punifhments 
ought to bear to Crimes, in which he 
attacks fome of the opinions of Grol- 
mann, Kleinfchrod, Klein, and Feuer- 
bach. . 
The changes that took place in the 
Germnanie Empire, in confequence of 
the Peace of Luneville and the Plan of 
Indemnification, likewife gave rife to 
a number of publications, which called 
for a reform of the public law of the 
Empire. A new ‘f Lehrbuch des Deut- 
{chen Slaatsrechts’*—- Compendium of 
the Public Law of Germany, with a 
view to thefe changes, was written by 
Profeflor Letsr, of Gottingen, who 
excludes therefrom all philofophical 
and hiftorical difcuffions. HarTLe- 
BEN (of the Univerfity of Wirzburg) 
accompanied his work, ‘f Ueber. die 
Deutiche Staatsverfaffung nach yoll- 
brachten Entichedigungs Sy(teme;” 
or, On the Conttitution of Germany 
after the Execution of the Plan of In- 
demnifications, with Hints for render- 
ing it more perfect. KLUBER, Profef- 
for at Erlangen, and Résste, of Leip- 
zig, publifhed Treatifes on the new 
Electors; and the latter likewife gave 
us ** Eine Deutfche Reichskunde,” 
&c.; or, Outlines of the Germanic 
Conftitution, as fettled in confequence 
of the Peace of Luneville. PCa 
Of the prattical labours and deci- 
fions of fuch profeffors as aét likewife 
as judges, the moft deferving of notice 
are thofe publifhed by ErcHMANN, of 
Altenburg; and Gonner, Proteflor at 
Landfhut, who has likewife finifhed, 
in four volumes, his valuable ‘* Hand- 
buch des Deutfchen gemeinen Procef- 
fes,” being a Compendious Treatife of 
the Manner of conducting Procefles ac- 
cording to the Common Law of Ger- 
many.—A Magazine appropriated en-) 
tirely to the elucidation of this fubject, 
was likewife begun in 1802, by Profet-

MEDICINE. 
The irreconcileable divifions among 
the phyficians who are called Bruno- 
nians, become daily more ftrikingly mae 
nifeft. The pure theory of BRown, as 
it was taught by WEIKARD, has now 
very few partizans: more adhered to 
the theory as it was corrected and grae 
dually limited by J. Frank, Horn, 
Von Hoven, and others, according to 
principles founded on experience. Ang 
other party defended it as modified by 
combination with a_chemical view of 
organization ; as, for inftance, Roscu- 
LAUB, who connected thefe with the 
neweit theory of Schelling. How im- 
portant a part the theory of Excit- 
ability, more or lefs modified, aéted in 
Phyfiology, Pathology, and Therapy, 
is {uficiently apparent from the titles 
only of many of the Medical works 
publithed lait year. I. Frank gave a 
fecond and entirely re-modelled edition 
of his ‘* Erlauterangen der Erregungs 
Theorie’ —Elucidations of the Theory 
of Excitability, and a ‘* Grundrifs der 
Pathologie, nach den Gefetzen der Er 
regungs Theorie’”—Outlines of Pathoe 
logy, according to the Brunonian 
Theory of Excitability. HorN con- 
tinued his “ Archiv fiir medicinif{che 
Erfahrung”’—Archive for Medical Ex. 
perience. | Von Hoven has endeavour- 
ed to thew, in his Treatife on the 
« Vorgiige der Browfchen Praxis vor 
der Nicht-Brownifchen,” that the Bru- 
nonian excels the non-Brunonian Pracs 
tice of Medicine. RosCHLAUB con- 
tinued his well known Magazine; and, 
in cgajunétion with OrGGcL, began. 
another periodical work, ‘‘ Hygeia,” for 
the diffufion of medical knowledge, 
—Among thofe of the Schellingian 
fchool who attacked him, Kittan, for- 
merly of Jena, but now Profeflor at 
the Univerfity of Bamberg, particu- 
larly diftinguifhed himfeif in a work 
entitled ‘* Differenz der achten und 
undchten Erregungs Theorie: he fhew- 
ed that the theories of Brown and 
Rafchlaub contained many errors, and 
did not fufficiently account for all mes 
dical phenomena; and then, in his 
“¢ Entwurf cines Syflems der ge-~ 
fammten Medicin”—Outlines of a Syf{- 
tem of Medicine, teaches a quite new doc.

Schellingian philofophy ; again which
