ETHICS, 
This fcience has been fo intimately 
blended with theology and phioiophy, 
. 
And the” 
that we feldom have to notice fep3- 
rate works of a purely ethical nature. 
Under this head the following may be 
clafed + Micwagiis’s ** Vorlefungen

MATHEMATICS. 
Though this be not a_ fathionable

phyfics, technology, &c.

ASTRONOMY. 
The minds of men feem to have be- 
come fo much enamoured of worldly 
interefts, that thofe of the heavens, even 
in a phyfical point of view, appear to be 
lefs attended to. Gnly two aftronomical 
works of any importance made their ap- 
pearance: viz. a new edition, with many 
corrections and feven additicnal plates, of
