Brunfwick. The mof comprehenfive one 
publifhed on this fubjeét, is that which has 
been compiled from the prize-differtations 
of Dr, Fothergill and Poppe, printed and 
diftributed, gratis, at the expence of 
Counr Bercuronp. It treats not 
only of the accidents from fire, water, 
lightning, &c. but likewife more uncom. 
mon dangers, fuch as attacks of wiid 
beafts, exceflive thirft, &c. 
The literature of pharmacy was en- 
riched by a ‘* Handbuch der neueften 
Entdeckungen in der Heilmittellehre.”— 
Manual of the lateit Difcoveries in Phar- 
macy, &c. by Burvacn, of Leipzig.— 
Dr. Horn, whom we have already men- 
tioned above as ‘a defender of the theory 
of, excitability, gave us a ** Grundrifs der 
Medicini{ch-chirurgifchen Arzneymittel- 
Jehre ;’"°—Outlines of Medico-chirurgical 
Pharmacy ;—and, in his inaugural differta. 
tion on entering upon his profefforfhip at 
Wittenberg, he wrote ‘* De Opii Abufu,” 
a fubjec&t which certainly called for the 
inveitigation of enlightened phyficians. 
With refpect to particular remedies, 
we thail only remark, that a great num. 
ber of treatifes appeared on Galvanilin; 
and that an ** Archiv’’ was appropriated 
for Animal Magnetiim, which for fome 
years paft has again attracted the notice 
of medical men. 
For dietetics, in general, and popular 
medicine, provifion was again made by 
“BECKER, SYRUVE, and others. Bercy 
pubhthed a ‘ Plychologifene Lebensver- 
JAangerungs kunde.”’—Loos, Regeln zur 
Verlangerung des Leberns :”—and Pav. 
Lus, of Wivzburg, ‘* Ein Verluch einer 
G-fundheitserhalrungskunde.”” Betides 
thele treatifes on the arc of prolonging 
huinan life, there fill continued to appear 
extracts from the celebrated work of Hu- 
feland. That, hewever, the Jaf%-men- 
tioned author's authority is not every 
where acknowledged, is evinced by feve- 
ral publications in oppofition to his Trea- 
tife againit the Ule of Ardent Spirits. — 
To the many genera! medical journals 
by Auguttin, Hufeland, Loder, Martens, 
&c. which are flill continued, fevera} new 
ones were added. Di. Kiufan, now pro- 
feff r at Bamberg, began a Zeitichriit 
fiir die gefmmte Medicin,”—Journal 
for every Branch of the Medical Art ~~ 
KCHLHARZ, of Ratifgon, ‘* Médicinifch-

or, Pharmaceutical Journal. 
There likewife appeared various collec- 
tions of mifcellaneous tracts, by indivi- 
duals. Lenrin added athird volume to 
his ** Beytrage zur Austibenden Arzney= 
kunde,’’—Contributions towards the Prac- 
tice of Medicine.—FermMey, of Berlin, 
gave us, from the manufcripts of his de- 
ceafed friend Roose, of Brun{wick,

Mitcellanies ;——and, Osruor, ‘* Kleine 
Beytrage zur Beférdernng des realen 
Wiliens fur denkende Heilkinftler,” — 
Short Contributions towards the Promo- 
tion ef Praétical Science for thinking 
Phyficians. 
SPRENGEL, of Halle, who is equally 
converfant with ancient and modern lite- 
rature, continued to devote his labours 
to the cultivation of the hiftory of medi- 
cine, in his ‘* Beytrage zur Gefchichte 
der Medicin; and he Jikewile gave us the 
firft volume of a Compendium of his ex- 
cellent ‘* Hiltory of Medicine.” 
PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, aND NATURAL 
HISTORY. 
Medical is now more than ever con- 
nected with phyfico-chemical literature: 
many publications are of fo ambiguous a 
kind, that we are at a lofs under what 
clafs we fhould arrange them; fuch as 
thofe on comparative Anatomy, Phyfic- 
logy, Galvanifm, and the application 
thereof to the Cure of Difeafes.. Befides 
tranflations of the experiments of Aidi- 
nl,.KELCH,Kunze,and Prarr,publifhed 
orig:nal wo:ks on this and other interedt- 
ing parts of phyfical fcience. BENZEN- 
BERG has defcribed his experiments re- 
lative to the falling of bodies, the refit 
ance of the air, and the revolution cf the 
earth, in a work eniided © Verfuch tiber 
den Fall der Korper, &c. and has added 
to ita “© Gelchichte der frihern Verfuche - 
von Galilei bis Gogliclnini’”’—or, a Hie 
tory of preceding Experiments, relitive 
to the fame Subjeét, from the time of Ga. 
lei co Guglielmini. M. von Enpg, an 
eminent cultivator of aitronomy, gave us 
a diflertation on the “© Maffen und Steine 
die aus dem Monde aut die Erce gefallen”’ 
—Stones and other Mafies that have lately 
fallen from the Air; in which he coin- 
cides with the opinion of Laplace, that 
they bad been projected from the moon, 
The fourth and Jaft volume of Kant’s 
** Phyfifche Geographie”"—Phyfical Geo- 
graphy—contains a theory of the winds. 
WREDE gave us * Geognoftilche Unter-
