658  Retrofped? of German Literature.—Taétics, Political Sciences 
We have now only to notice fome gene- 
ral works, ont he whole, of mathematical 
feience, at leaft of pure mathematics, by 
G. Link, S. W.SniuL, and C. Stik; 
and the continuation of thofé of Ma- 
GOLD, and J: S. Smipr.. . 
Tactics, &c. 
In our laft Retrofpeéi, we noticed) a- 
€ Military Game,” by Hewie, of Brunf- 
wick, which he had invented in F780, but 
has fince added many improvements, an 
aecount of which is given in the new edi- 
tion, which has lately appeared. The 
general approbation which this excellent 
help towards acquiring a knowledge of 
tactics met with, has encouraged others 
to fimilar inventions:- and, according, 
we find twonew War-Games announced ; 
one by Opiry, of Vienna, and another 
by VenruriNf, of Vienna. 
We have again to remark, that there 
was no want of works on the military 
fcience in general, or cn fingle pasts of it,’ 
chiefly elementary works, for the ufe of 
officers and young perfons defined for a 
military life; none.of which Istter, how- 
ever; are cf fufhcient imporrance to te- 
quire to be here particularly noticed.

Political Differtation, Moles and Jefus; .. 
in which, he treats of the intelletual dnd 
moral relations between Chriftians and 
Jews, the latter of whom he defcribes a3 
a very corrupt race, whole pernicious in- 
fluence can only, in his opinion, be pre- 
vented by their affimilatian with the other 
citizens of the ftate. Paauzow, who, 
firit began the preient controverly concern- 
ing them, and GRATTENAUER, who 
fo foon joined in it, that many think him 
the Girt exciter of it, publithed each two
