few days, a work, entitled Enquiries, 
Historical and Moral, respecting the 
Character of Nations, and the Progtess 
of Society. In this work, it will be the 
author’s object to exhibit a view of the 
moral history of man; of the manners 
and characters of nations, and the cir- 
cumstances on which these are depen- 
dent. He has endeavoured to~ as- 
certain what these circumstances are, and 
to illustrate them by a survey of the va-

The friends of the late Mr. FReEEBarrN, 
and several noblemen and gentlemen, 
patrons of the Fine Arts, have opened a 
subscription for the relief of his, widow 
and children. The works of art pro- 
duced by Mr. Freebairn after bis return 
from Italy, are too well known and va- 
Jued to require eulogium. Those who es- 
timate rare talents,» combined with un- 
remitting assiduity, will be happy to pos- 
sess this opportunity of rewarding in the 
persons of his family, exertions, which 
only the circumstance of his death could 
have frustrated, and which would other- 
wise have secured to his widow and sons 
an independence, without having re- 
course to the necessity of a public ap- 
plication. The following persons have 
undertaken to receive subscriptions ;— 
Messrs. Boydell and Co, Cheapside; - 
Messrs. Masterman and Co. White Hart 
court, Lombard-street; Messrs. Veres 
and Co. Lombard-street ; Messrs. Birch, 
Chambers, and Hobbs, Bond-street ;

gazine. 3 fe

A member of the University of Oxford 
has just published a small work, entitled 
The Essentials of English Grammar, 
oir apractical Plan for the Use of Classical 
and French Schools. In this work he 
has endeavoured to supply what seems 
to be very much wanted in classical 
schools; namely, an English grammar. 
that will lay a foundation for classical 
and french literature, without violating 
the purity of the English language. It’ 
contains such rules to distinguish the - 
parts of speech, and such a guide to 
parsing, as are not to-be found in any 
other grammar.
