"© An extensive collection of poems on 
various subjects, and different metres, by 
Reslidi. Vit Vat, a poet celebrated for 
is ready wit, and smatlness of stature. 
He was' a: contemporary of Anvary, aud 
was. in the fort of Hezar Asp, while be- 
sieged by Sultan Sanjar the Seljukiad, 
in whose service Anvary was. During 
the’ siege, the two poets wrote very se- 
veré satires against the party of each’ 
other, which they exchanged by means: 
of arrows; but the fort being: as length 
taken, and Vit Vat made’ prisoner, he 
was released at the intercession of An- 
vary, aud they became intimate friends. 
He also became a great favourite of 
Sultan Sanjar, and died in Khorassan, 
A. B. 1182.” 
Among the more remarkable works 
we notice’ ‘séveral histories of Moham- 
med, and one in particular, entitled, 
“ The Ascent of the Prophet” a Hindw 
Romance: several large colléctions of 
Oriental Lettérs: and the Elements of 
Euclid, translated from the Greek. ) 
Here alsowe have to notice the second . 
edition of Dr. Cromire’s Freatise on 
the Etymology and Syntax of the English 
Language. A work ofhigh respectability 
and credit. ' 
- The Cutalogue of the Library of the 
Royal Institution of Great Britatn, me- 
thodically arranged, with an Alphabetical 
Index of Authors, by Mr. Harris, the’ 
Keeper of the Library, is a’ work entitled: 
to’ corisiderable praise. The class of - 
English History and Torography will be’ 
found tolerably rich: and’ we may very’ 
auch approve the insertion of the 
Authors’ names whose works have been 
collectively publistied’ in such’ large’ 
series, as those in Grevius, the Byzany
