Retrospect of Domestic Literature—Bibhography, Xe. 
So, many a winter, many.a summer ran 
Calm and uncloud d o’er the pliant man 5 
F’en in that court, amid despotic rage, 
In flattery’s armour sa‘e to latest age.” 
The most important work, however, 
in this division of our retrospect, which 
has appeared, is certainly the Oxford 
Strabo. “ Strabonis Rerum Geographica- 
rum Litrit xvii. Grece et Latine, cum 
Variorum, precipue Casaubont, Anunad-

The text of this work, with a few cor- 
recligus, appers to have been taken from 
the Amsterdam edition. of 1707, by 
Jaussén ab Almeloveen. From the no- 
tices of the manuscripts which have been 
consulted, six appear to have been in the 
library at Paris, two at Florence, one, 
written on paper, in the library of Exon 
college, one at,the Escurial, a: nd one at 
Moscow... At.the end are Note Geogra-

BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
Under the head of pebliocrapiy, we 
have to mention a very valuable ‘ Cata- 
logue of Authors, who hive written on 
Kio de fa Plata, Poruguay, and Chaco,” 
collectedby Mr. DatryMpue. It uccupies 
no less than twenty-two pages in quarto : 
and preseats the titles of many works 
which are probably unknown to the ma-. 
jority even of those who are conversant 
_ with the Elistory of South America. 
Int third edition of Mr. Drspry’s 
“ Bibliographia Classica,” we have al- 
most anew work, including a variety of 
writers, whose productions were omitted 
in the former editions: viz. M.A. An- 
tonius, Apollodorus, Apuleius, Aristides, 
Aurelius Victor, Ausonius, Herodian, 
Josephus, Maximus Tyrius, Oppian, Or- 
pheus, Photius, and Theophrastus, in 
the notes also, not only many valuable 
biographical notices will be found, but a 
very laree body of information peculiarly 
usc ful to those who study books. The 
account of Greek bibles and testameuts, 
and of lexicons, dictionaries, and gram- 
ma:s, has been much enlarged : although 
the iadex Analyticus of the last edition, 
” 
833 
as well as one or two other portions of a 
jess Important nature have beea omitted. 
TOPOGRAPHY AND ANTIQUITIES. 
Tn the first poruon of a fourth volume 
of Mr. Nicwons’s * History of Leicester~ 
shire,’ we have a continuatiua of one of 
tle fullest county histories ia the English 
series. It relates principally to the hun 
dved of Guihlaxton, including the town- 
ships. of Arnsby, Ashby Magna, Ashby 
Parva, Ay-eston, Bitteswell, Blaby, 
Broughton ‘Astley, Brunting-thorpe, the 
Castle View, Cat-thorpe, Claybrook, 
Cosby, Cott tesb: ach, Dunton-Basset, En 
derby, Foston, Frolesworth, Gi: morton, 
Kilby, North Kiiworth, Kimcote, Pnap-

tions to the hundreds of Framland, 
Gartre, Rast Goscvote, and West Gust 
cote, with a farther addition to Framland 
hundred, and Annals and a Description 
ot A Oly: 
Among the biographical notices with 
which the accounts of the different ‘pa- 
rishes are enriche , We may particularly 
enumerate those of Dr. Wells among the 
rectors of Cottesbach, of Bishop Watson 
among the rectors of Kuaptolt, of Wick- 
life among the rectors of Sutterworth, of 
My, Ayscough under Great Wigston, and 
Dr. Pulteney among the additions and. 
corrections in West-Goscote. 
Since the publication of the volume, as 
our pages have already recorded, the 
warehouse and the chief property of its 
author have. been consumed, (he la- 
bours, not only of the press, bat of the 
pen, have been, in fact, almost. annihi- 
lated. The remaining manuscript for 
Leicestershire, however, has, we under- 
stand, been saved, and the completion 
of Hie favourite ce forins one. of the 
authors first intentions, We readily 
cheer himin hisiabour. 
Another valuable publication will be 
found ia the secoid portion of “ Magna 
Britannia,” by Messrs. Danret and 
SAMUEL Lysons; containing the ‘history 
of Cumbridgeshive. At is opened, like 
the desraptions of the counties in the 
first volume, by certain prelinimary de=

and govermnent, the historical events, 
the ancient aud modern division of the 
county, the ecclesiasiical division: and 
jurisdictaun, the monasteries, colleges,
