‘© Delefflus Grecarum Sententiarum, 
cum notis tum grammaticis, tum Ah Ielg- 
§icis, in ufum Tironum accommodatis.”” 
We are happy to fee that this little 
work is come to a fecond and enlarged 
edition. It will be found of effential 
ufe to the learner of the Greek language: 
it is the produétion of Mr. St. Joun 
Priest, the mafter of afchool in Nor- 
folk.

The learned world” has long been 
anxious for the publicarion of this work, 
which fhews, on the part of the lamented 
editor, the accuracy of a critic and the 
tafte and learning of a fcholar. It ap- 
pears from tie title page, that the work 
was not co:apleted by Mr. Sonwell: this 
gentleman died at the early age of 31, 
leaving to other hands the honourable tafk 
ef completing his unfinified labours. 
“¢ The Satires of Decimus Funius Fuve- 
nalis, tranflated into Englifh verfe by the 
Rev. W. Heatru Marsa, A.M.” 
Mr. Marfh has accomplifhed the ar- 
duous tafk of giving a faithful and {pi- 
rited tranflation of the Roman fatirift. 
He {peaks with great diffidence concern- 
ing himfelf, and particulariy depreciates 
the fufpicion of intending to exhibit him- 
felf as the competitor of Mr. Gifford. 
He affures his readers, that he had never 
feen Mr. Gifford’s werk until his own was 
entirely completed ; and then on compar- 
ing the two tranflations, he found a fufhi- 
cient difference in the general manner be- 
tween Mr. Gifford’s verfion and nis cwn 
to plead his excufe in publifhing the latter. 
It is to be regretted that Mr. Marth did 
not accompany his tranflation with notes. 
** Topography of Troy and its Vicinity ; 
illuflrated and explained by Drawings 
and Deferiptions. By WitLttam GELL, 
E/q. M. A.” 
_. The claffic and the antiquary will be 
highly gratified by this fplendid work.— 
The plates are numerous, the de(cription 
clear and fatisfa€tory. Refpedcting. the 
former, Mr. Gell affures us that they are 
accurate copies of faithful drawings made 
‘by himfelf on the {pot ; and he thinks 
himfelf juftifed in obferving, that thofe 
who are interefted in the fubjeét, bya 
-Sareful examination of them may acquire 
as clear a conception of the plain and its 
environs, as a traveller who is not a 
draught{man could obtain in the country 
itfelf. In‘ the defeription of the plates, 
Mr. Gell has confined himfelf for the 
mot part to the fingle object of illufirating 
the topography of the Iiied 5; and he is 
not without hopes of convincing others, 
as he is himfeif convinced, that the hi- 
ftory, as related by Homer, is confirmed 
by the fulleft teftimosy which a perfect 
corref{pondence between the prefent face of 
the country and the defcription of the 
poet can poffibly give it. 
“‘ Three Traés on the Syntax and Pro- 
nunciation of the Hebrew Tongue; with 
an Appendix, addrefjed to the Hebrew Na- 
tion. By GRANVILLE SHARP.” 
This work is faid to do very great cre- 
dit to its author as a grammanrian, and an 
iliufrator of the prophecies concerning 
the Jews and the fubverfion of the Popith 
fuperttition. 
Dr. Gitiies has publifhed a “ Sup- 
plement’ to his Analyfis of Ariftotle’s 
Speculative Work, containing an account 
of the interpreters and corruptors of his 
philofophy. 
The philofophy of Ariftotle, wrapped 
inthe deepeft myftery by the Platon:ciang, 
has been relieved from its long night of 
darknefs by the luminous interpretation 
of Dr. Gillies. 
Mr. THomas Taytor, however, in- 
dignant that the philofophy of Ariftotle 
fhoald be made intelligible to common 
underftandings, and convinced, with Mr. 
Burke, that ob{curity is a principal fource 
of the fublime, has written a virulent 
** Anfwer’’ to Dr. Gillies, in which the 
unfaithfulnefs of that excellent Grecian’s 
tranflaticn of the E:hics is inferred from 
the want of that creeping verbal accuracy 
which diftinguifhes his own.

ticed at confiderable length Dr. CurRi8’s 
“ Medical Reports on the Effects of Water, 
cold or warm, asa Remedy in Fever and 
Febrile Difeafes.’ It is with-great plea-
