eminently convenient and ufeful, but not altogether adapted for very young ftudents. This objection has, however, been removed by various publications on the fubject, more fimple, eafy, and perfpicuous. This work, by Mr. Bullock, feems remarkably well adapted for the purpofe, and what he calls Geographical Examinations, which are fubjoined at the end of his hook, will be found equally convenient and agreeable to the teacher and the pupil. The contents are, in other refpects, well arranged, and the book is printed with the greateft neatness and perfpicuity. ART. 39. Domestic Management; or, the healthful Cookery Book. To which is prefixed, a Treatife on Diet, as the fureft Means to preferve Health, long Life, &c. with many valuable Obfervations on the nutritious and beneficial, as well as the injurious Effects of various Kinds of Food; alfo Remarks on the wholesome and pernicious Modes of Cookery. Intended as an Antidote to modern Errors therein. To which is added, the Method of treating fuch trifling Medical Cafes as properly come within the Sphere of Domestic Management. By a Lady. 12mo. 400 pp. 55. Crosby and Co. 1819. We may congratulate our countrymen on the increasing po pularity of the important fcience of cookery, clearly evinced by the multiplication of elementary works upon the subject. It is fatisfactory alfo to fee, that the alliance formed between cookery and medicine, by Dr. Hunter, of York, in his Culina, is maintained in all its vigour by his induftrious followers. have even had it hinted to us, that the author of this volume (Mrs. Arabella Plumtre) has been favoured with the affiftance of an eminent phyfician, in the remarks on food, diet, &c. We Of fuch works, how fhall we judge? The proof even of a common pudding is known to confift in the eating, and if we were to eat through even half a volume of this kind, our obfer. vations might come too late to benefit the author, or enlighten the public: efpecially, as from the plan above-mentioned, we muft wait to obferve the medical effects of the viands recommended, as well as their immediate operation on the palate. Among fo great a number of receipts there muft, doubtless, be many excellent; and fome we contemplate with peculiar refpect, being marked as used in the Royal kitchen of Queen Anne. Our mouths water while we write on fuch fubjects! ART. 40. Memoirs of Prince Eugene, of Savoy. Written by him felf. Tranflated from the French, by William Mudford: and containing all thofe Omissions which have been detected in the recent Parifian Editions. Embellished with a correct Likeness. 8vo. 7s. 6d. Sherwood, 1811. There feems to be very little doubt to be entertained of the authen authenticity of this performance; the internal evidence will fatisfy moft readers. It was firft published at Weimar in 1809, and afterwards reprinted in different forms at Paris, where it underwent various alterations, and fuffered many defalcations, probably from the fevere rigour to which the prefs is expofed in that oppreffed country. In this English verfion the means are related by which the manufcript was obtained and published. The fol lowing extract is characteristic of the whole, and may fuperfede the neceffity of further comment. "1688. I "A colonel at twenty, a major-general at twenty-one. was made a lieutenant-general at twenty-five: I conducted a reinforcement to the Prince of Baden in Sclavonia, and returned quickly, becaufe there was a talk of befieging, or, to speak more properly, of feizing Belgrade. us." The command of the five points of affault was given on the 6th September to other generals. I complained of this. The Elector faid to me: "You fhall remain with me in the referve; and I do not think that in fo doing, I either give you or take upon myfelf a bad commiffion. God knows what may happen to He had juftly anticipated the matter, the attack was repulfed on every fide. This brave prince and myself (our fwords in our hands) rallied them, and animated them to advance. I mounted the breach. A janiffary, cleft my helmet with a blow of his fabre; I ran him through the body, and the Elector who had received a mufquet-ball in his hand the preceding campaign, was alfo wounded by an arrow in the right cheek. Nothing could be more glorious or more bloody. How we fometimes find by the fide of the moft horrible events fomething that amufes us! I did fo in the looks and geftures of the Jews, whom we compelled to throw into the Danube the twelve thousand men killed on both fides, to fave the trouble and expence of burying them. "I fet off for Vienna." Such are the amusements of warriors by profeffion. ART. 41. Travels of a British Druid; or the Journal of Elynd. Illuftrative of the Manners and Cuftoms of ancient Nations. With appropriate Reflections for Youth. To which is added, a Hiftory of the Doctrines of the Druids, and of their final Extirpation in Caledonia. 12mo. 2 Vols. 9s. Hatchard. 1811. Thefe are two very elegant and very inftructive little volumes, formed much on the plan of the Voyage de Jeune Anacharfis, though more partial and confined in their object. Elynd, an-orphan, educated by the Arch Druid of Britain, and destined for the facred order, is fent to acquire the knowledge of other countries, and foreign manners, in order to be qualified on return to his native Britain, to remove from his countrymen the darkness under under which they laboured; and, above all, the abominable and difgufting ceremonies which difgraced their religious worship. He accordingly vifits France, Italy, Greece, and Egypt; from each of which places he fends the journal of his obfervations and adventures to his adopted father, the Arch- Druid. It does not exactly appear to us, why it fhould be thought neceffary to make this amiable youth die in Egypt; but the tale is fo conftituted. There can be no referve in recommending thefe volumes to young perfons, and to those who have to fuftain the anxious and important burden of education. They are replete with admirable precepts, and much ufeful information is conveyed in a pleafing and highly interefting narrative. ART. 42. We have not long fince made mention of a small volume defcribing the Isle of Man, by Mr. Jefferys, late member for Coventry and now deceafed, which notwithstanding the infinua tions conveyed in this author's preface was far from a contemptible performance. This before us is certainly more elaborate, and better entitled to attention, and more particularly in the portion which treats of the mineralogy of the island, a fubject now for the first time difcuffed. This author divides his work into three parts. The first divifion contains a general and particular account of the State of the Ifland; the fecond defcribes its conftitution, laws, and privileges, and more particularly as they concern ftrangers; the third gives the hiftory of Man from the earlieft traditions to the prefent period. There appears fomething extremely defective even now in the administration of the laws in this ifland, as frequent inftances occur (fee p. 300, &c.) of individuals being feized by force and carried away on board veffels waiting to receive them. A neat map of the Ifland is prefixed, and perhaps it becomes us in juftice to add, that this is the best defcription of the Island of Man that has hitherto been printed. ART. 43. A Tour in Queft of Genealogy through feveral Parts of Wales, Somerfetfire, and Wiltshire, in a Series of Letters to a Friend in Dublin, interfperfed with a Description of Stourhead and Stonehenge, together with various Anecdotes, and cu rious Fragments from a Manufcript Collection ascribed to Shakspeare. By a Barrister. 8vo. P. 125. Sherwood. 1811. The affigned occafion of making this Tour was as follows:A perfon A perfon of wealth dying inteftate, much genealogical enquiry was excited among his real or fuppofed relations, and the sprightly writer of these letters conceiving himself not a little interested, proceeded to make his perfonal examinations in the places which the volume feverally defcribes. The book is entertaining enough and fome pleasing pieces of poetry are interfperfed. They may believe that will, that in a fale of books by public auction at Carmarthen, a volume in manufcript was purchased containing verses and letters between Shakspeare and his mistress Anne Hatheway. Some of these verses have merit, and in particularthe lines addreffed by the lady to her lover. They who fhall hereafter make the fame excurfion will do well to take this volume with them, as they will find it both agreeable and use. ful. We cannot give our approbation to the contemptuous mention which is made in this book, of one of the most distinguished literary characters of the prefent time, and whom we are proud to acknowledge as our friend; it is full of abfurdity and mifreprefentation. Neither are the plates which are introduced, at all-worthy of commendation. MONTHLY LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. DIVINITY.
