Valentia

One of the most remarkable incidents was the resentment of the Dublin popu. lace against the equivocating Gratton, for his inflammatory speech in 1815, exciting the combined despots to disregard the independence of France. He narrowly escaped being torn in pieces; and was saved only by the generous eloquence of Mr. Charles Phillips.

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.

Our SUPPLEMENTARY NUMBER, published this day, possesses unusual interest. The books from which our extracts are made consist of Phillips's Recollections of Curran Sass's Journey to Rome and Naples-Morier's second Journey through Persia-Hall's Travels in Canada and the United States-and Ensor on Population.

The Finance Report is not yet in course of delivery, to enable us to state the last year's expenditure correctly. In some copies of our last, the deficiency of revenue below the expenditure was, by an error of the press, printed 28 instead of 18 millions. The copies signed C. S. were correct.

Some Correspondents, who have adopted the statements of empirical writers in a certain Review, have addressed us on the subject of the late hot weather, ascribing the undue heat to the undue melting of the Polar ice, forgetting that proofs are wanted of the fact, and that the melting of ice abstracts heat from surrounding bodies instead of increasing it. Even the venerable President of the Royal Society is quoted in support of these silly doctrines. The great heat of the Summer, at any rate, proves our assertion, that no change of solar heat has taken place on our globe; although this formed a prominent part of the statement of the meteorological wiseacres who write in the Review in question.

We are not aware of the Communication alluded to by G. of Dudley. We are of course anxious, as fast as possible, to meet the wishes of every Correspondent. Our review of new Music did not come to hand in time for the present Number. We invite further Communications in regard to Parochial Lending Libraries—to Steam-heating-to Gas-lighting-and other useful practical subjects. The Pil grimage to Woolstrope, and some other deferred articles, if possible, in our next.

"Where such a mass of instructive, useful, and entertaining communications on literary characters and subjects can elsewhere be found, it would not be easy to determine. There is scarcely a personage in the last Century, eminent for learning and talents, there is hardly a Work which has excited the curiosity and attention of Scholars, of whose Author and contents some information may not here be obtained."-British Critic.

ANECDOTES of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE; chiefly regarding the Local Dialect of London and its Environs; whence it will appear that the Natives of the Metropolis, and its Vicinities, have not corrupted the Language of their Ancestors. By SAMUEL PEGGE, Esq. F.S.A. Second Edition, enlarged and corrected. To which is added, A SUPPLEMENT to the PROVINCIAL GLOSSARY of FRANCIŞ GROSE, Esq. 8vo. Price 12s. boards. *** The Provincial Glossary may be had separate, Price 38. "The generality of readers must be pleased by the union of so much curious information, with such jocularity of humour. On the whole we have never seen a book of philological amusement put together in so original a style, or containing more unexpected, yet apposite remarks, and authorities from a variety of books." British Critic, 1808.

"The Work before us is highly valuable and instructive, as unfolding to us, from obsolete and forgotten archives, an ample store of new and entertaining matter; and does great credit to the learning and indefatigable industry of the Author, who is equally entitled to admiration as an Antiquary, an Historian, and a Polemic."-New Annual Review 1802.

"Whether the fashionable world will take the hints here given by the late ingenious Mr. Pegge, to correct their expressions, and to guard against the perversion of grammar, we cannot pretend to say; but of this we are confident, that, if they read this Essay, they will be amused by the playfulness of his verbal criticisms, and by the various anecdotes with which he has enlivened his pages."

Monthly Review, July 1805.

ANONYMIANA, or TEN CENTURIES of OBSERVATIONS on various Authors and Subjects. (Compiled by the late very Learned and Reverend Dr. PEGGE.) With a copious Index. Second Edition, 8vo, price 12s. "Whether as an Antiquary, a classical, poetical, and historical Critick, a Biographer, or Enquirer into the Beauties and Niceties of Grammar and Languages, we find every where that Dr. PEGGE's remarks are not only striking and useful, but original; and in this last respect we have little hesitation in preferring the Anonymiana to the greater part of the Works of this description which have been lately published either at home or abroad. There is scarcely a taste, among the various divisions of human liking, that will not find something appropriate and gratifying. It would be impossible to withhold, in these times of levity, just praise from a Work that so ably combines light reading with serious thinking'.' ·Gent. Mag. 1809. Handsomely printed in One Volume, 4to, price Three Guineas boards, or large Paper, 57. 5s. (illustrated with numerous Plates of Ecclesiastical Costume, including XL Subjects drawn by J. CARTER, F.

Account of the Continentes, or Women who had made Vows of Chastity.-IV. Four Select Poems, in various Styles. By THOMAS DUDLEY FOSBROOKE, M. A. F. S. A. Author of the History of Gloucestershire, &c.

A considerable Portion of this Work having been re-written, with the view of introducing large and important accessions from the antient Chroniclers, and especially from Du CANGE (a Work as recondite as MS. to all but our first Antiquaries); the present Edition, enlivened by Reflections suited to History, is. adapted, not to the Antiquary only, but to the general Reader, as interest, curiosity, and entertainment, have been studiously consulted.

The First Edition of this Work was most favourably noticed by all the Reviews. "Mr. Fosbrooke has given to the publick, chiefly from MS authorities, a comprehensive view of the character and manners of Monastic Life; and has brought together many facts, which serve to cast a light on the history of human nature. The manners of the period which furnished his materials were so entirely different from those of the present times, that the relation of them is highly gratifying and instructive. This Work contains much curious and original information." British Critic 1802.

The Works of the inimitable Hogarth have not only been sought for with avidity in his native country, but have been admired by every civilized nation in the World. Since his death various Editions of his Works have, from time to time, been offered to the Publick. But, without attempting to depreciate any of the former Editions, it is presumed that the present Work will, from its elegance and cheapness, stand unrivalled. It is highly proper, however, to add, that these Three Volumes contain Two HUNDRED AND TEN PLATES, a great many of which are not to be found in any other Collection of HOGARTH'S Works.
