Treatifes on Archeography. 
A variety of general treatiies have been 
ecmpofed on this fubjeé&t. Several of the 
authors have adopted the analytical order; 
others, the chronological order; others, 
again, the geographical order; and others, 
laitly, the aiphabetical order. 
Among thofe who-have followed’ the 
analytical order, may be comprehended 
the writers who have, in treating of the 
onuments, diftributed them intodifferent 
clafles, fuch as the edifices, the infcrip- 
tions, the medals, &c. ‘The chrenologi- 
ca! authors are thofe who have followed 
the art, in general, in its different degrees 
ef periection at different epochs, and have 
applied this mode of procedure to its dif- 
ferent branches. The geographical, thofe 
who have claficd the monuments accord- 
ing to the countries in which they are to be 
found. And, lafily, the lexicographical, 
thee who have formed di&iionaries rela. 
tive to archeography. The principal ge-

cording to the different methods above 
pointed out, are now to be confidered.

by a Defcription of the Monuments of the 
French Monarchy, in five folio volumes. He 
compofed likewife a Greek Paleagraphy, 
which contains many curious particulars rela- 
tive to antiguities and the manufcripts of the 
Greek writers. His Eulogy hes been pub- 
lifued by M. de Boze, inthe Memoirs of the 
Academy of Belles-Lettres, and in the Lite-

the Indigent Blind, as it appears 
from the accounts of ‘that inftitation for

among the valuable materials of your

Of almof atl charitable inftitutions, 
one that provides for the education of the 
BLinp, is, perhaps, the mof laudable. 
It relieves human beings, whofe condition 
is; without fuch relief, at once the moft 
helplefs and the moft difconfolate. What 
is more, the charity is not here, as in 
many other cafes, the mere hopele/s indul- 
gence of amiable and Chrifian feelings, 
It is, by the mercy of Divine Providence, 
completely efeciuval. ‘The InpiGent
