to be uleful to the ftudents of altronomy.

is the firft who has drawn the whole fky 
on this projetion, but acknowledges that 
he is indebted for the details to the firft 
altronomers of Great Britain, of France, 
&c, whom he has confulted. Among fe« 
veral interefting ules to which this may 
beapplied, it may be found by it at what 
time any far whatever will pafs on our

prived of the fruit of his labours, he left’ 
directions, by his will, for the publication - 
of a Flora Greca, to be compofed from 
his manufcript journals, notes, his dried 
plants, and the drawings, executed un-- 
cer his infpection, by Mr. Ferdinand 
Bauer. 
The executors have appointed Dr. 
Smith. to digeft and arrange thefe mate- 
rials, and to undertake the fyftematic and 
def{criptive parts of this moft fplendid 
work ; and it is propofed to fulfil the in- 
tentions of its original author in the fol- 
Jowing manner :— 
t. Che Flora Graca will confit of ten 
volumes in large folioy each containing 
one hundred plates, coloured fo as to imi- 
tate the drawings in every refpect as 
clofely as poffible, and accompanied by 
full {cientific defcriptions in Latin, with 
fynonyms, and fuch neceflary or ufeful 
obfervations as can be furnifhed upon the 
fubject. 
, -2¢ It is propofed to divide each volume 
into two parts, or fajciculi, each contain- 
ing fifty plates, with their appropriate 
letter-prefs, to be publifhed with as much _ 
expedition as poffible, with juftice to the 
work, till the whole ten volumes be com 
pleted. 
3. The price of the firt fafeiculus will 
be twelve guineas; and it is hoped that 
the following fafciculz will be rather lefs 
than more, from the operation of the fund 
left by Dr. Sibthorp to aflitt the publi. 
cation. 
This promifes to be a moft magnificent 
work; and, indeed, it ought to be fo, for 
it will, before its completion, be one of 
the molt expenfive that ever was publifhed. 
The drawings, by Bauer, are exquifite 5, 
and there is every reafon to think that the 
whole will be carefully and {cientifically 
conducted by Dr. Smith. 
taching to the former part of the work, 
and we doubt not, that the various cathe- 
drals-and chapels of. Engtand and Wales, 
to whofe notice we recommended the fir 
volume, will be ftrongly difpofed to coun. 
tenance’ an undertaking fo ufeful and in. 
genious. ‘Welament, with Dr. Clarke, 
that (to ufe the words of his preface)
