MILITARY SCIENCES. 
Tn the prefent revolutionary times every 
ene thinks it neceflary to know fomething 
of the art of war, as it is uncertain how 
foon he may be called upon to act the part 
of a foldier, Hence a great number of 
elementary works on tactics, &c. made 
their appearance, which wedo not think it 
neceflary here to enumerate, The follow- 
ing, however, deferve to be particularly 
noticed, “* Die Neue Beliona,—The New 
Bellona, or Contributions towards the Im- 
provement of.the Art of War, and the Hil- 
tory of Military Operations ;” OsTEn’s 
" Feldziige der Ailltirten Armee in 1757- 
1762,—Hiltory of the Campaigns of the 
allied Army in Germany, from the year 
757 to 1762,” drawn up from the Jour- 
nal of Fieldmarfhal Von Reden, the fecond 
and third volume. 
Hoyer’s ‘* Neues Militarifches Maga. 
zin,—New Military Magezine,”’ contain- 
ing hiftorical and fcientific articles; the 
“© Neue Militair Archiv.—New Mili- 
tary Archive,” and the ‘* General Mi- 
Jitary Journal,” have been regularly con- 
tinued. 
EDUCATION. 
From the general diffufion of learning, 
it might be expected that education would 
be particularly attended to ; and the ac- 
knowledged importance of the fubject, 
and the great number of books written on 
it, has induced the Germans to forma 
new diftinét {cience of it, which they de- 
nominate Pedagogics, a word which has 
net yet been adopted by their neighbours. 
This Michaelmas fair, however, produ- 
ced only Ewap’s ‘ Geift der Peltaloz- 
zifchen Bildungsmethode,—Spirit of Pef- 
talozzi*s Method of Teaching,”’ drawn up 
from authentic documents, and from the 
author’s own obfervations ; SCHMITH’s 
** Peftalozzi’s Groffenlehre,x—Account of 
Peftalozzi’s Doétrine of Magnitudes, con- 
fidered as the bafis of Arithmetic and 
Geometry, and farther applied to Trian- 
gles, Squares, and Circles ;°’ a, appendix 
to PLAMANN’s ‘* Fundamental Rule of 
the Art of Inftrué&tion ;”’ ** Verftandsii- 
bungen fir Kinder,—Excercifes of the 
. 
655 
Underftanding,”” according to the method 
of Petta alozziy for the inftruétion of chil- 
dren ; and laftly, Scuwarz’s ** Lehrbuch, 
der Padagogik und Didaktik,—Manual 
of Pedagogic ‘s and Didaétics .” 
We now proceed to 
PHILOLOGY, 
which maintaigs its rank among the vari- 
ous departments of learning, either | be- 
caufe' it is neceffary to the mafters of 
fchools, or becaule, being founded on 
conjecture and eriticifm, it in a particular 
manner flatters vanity and envy. 
We find announced HerpER’s ** Ans 
fichten des Klaffifchen Al!terthums,— 
Views of Claffical Antiquity,” being
