“the method of the celebrated Campe: the 
narratives of Cooke, La P-yroufe, 
Macartney, M. Parke, Stedman, &c. are 
thus prefenred to juvenile readers; nay, 
an aponymous author has even promiled 
us, in this drefs, the Travels of Hum- 
boldt, of which the public poffefics only 
fome detached fragments. Several of 
thefe travels have already gone through 
f-veral editions. “Tae number of picture-

We have a! ready mentioned fome con- 
tributions towards 
{chools and public education in Germany : 
others; containing more fpecial infor-

Wurzburg; by VETTERLEIN ‘relative 
to the {chools at Zerdf and Kothen 5 and 
by WitTic on the Garrifon-School of 
Caffel, and the therewith connected; 
School of Indufiry; the number of 
which kind of fchools, we are happy to 
2 is continualiy increafing in Ger- 
any. Worthy of notice, at the prefent 
rite, when the J-fuits are again reftored to 
their former fun&ions in feveral couniries, 
we may likewife reckon a work publifhed 
at-Prague, by the Ex Jefuit Curnova, 
enthled ‘‘ Die Jefuiten a!s Gynafiallehrer”
