We do not feel competent to fay how far this fatire may be juft or not. It is evidently aimed at Mr. Huntington. What we know of that enthufiaft's writings, would clearly induce us to agree to the greater part of the ridicule caft upon him in this book. We are not fcrupulous of avowing, that we look upon much that he has written as amounting to little lefs than blafphemy; yet we know, that there are many who are prepared to defend him, and have much to fay, not only in vindication of his principles, but of the quaint and ftrange titles of his publications*, and even of the familiar and grofs terms applied in thofe publications to the Deity. We cannot agree with fuch defenders. We give them leave to think Mr. H. honeft and fincere: if he be fo, we have no hesitation in queftioning his fanity; but if he be really able, we have ftill lefs hesitation in queftioning his fincerity. We think it impoffible, that any wife man could write upon fuch topics, in the way Mr. H. writes, unless with a defign to impofe upon the ignorant: if therefore he be fincere he is not wife, and if he be wife he is not fincere. In drawing upon his heavenly banker, and in praifing

his heavenly taylor (as he fcruples not to exprefs himself in his writings), we think he lays himself open to no common or mode. rate fatire; but that he is fair game to the wits of the day, whe ther their abilities lead them to the exposure of folly, or the desection of knavery: Our decided opinion of Mr. H. very clearly coincides with the determination of the gentleman, who being afked whether he deemed a certain perfon to be most fool or most knave, gravely anfwered, that he thought there was much to be faid on both fides. In the perufal of this book, fome difficulty arifes as to the ufe of the inverted commas; but we believe, from pp. xiv. xv. of the introduction, that the intention of the editor was merely to mark, as quotations from the writings of Mr. H., fueh paffages, as, though they are not literally tranfcribed from his books, are yet fo managed as to convey the drift of his opi nions, in the most plain and intelligible language.

ART. 36. Felifsfa; or, The Life and Opinions of a Kitten of Sentiment. 12mo. 3s. 6d. Harris. 1811.

A pleafing book for children, in which, together with the hiftory of a favourite but unfortunate Kitten, many excellent lessons of inftruction are conveyed to the young reader, and these are rendered still more impressive by the aid of fome coloured prints. ART. 37. Il vero Modo di piacere in Compagnia. Opera dedi cata all' Iftruzione e Ricreazione della Gioventù.” Da Carls Monteggia. 12mo. 315 pp. Colburn, &c. 1810.

There is a French as well as an English title to this book; and the whole is given in Italian and French, printed on oppo. fite pages. That fuch a publication may be useful to students in both languages, is evident, and we fee no reason why this should not be recommended.
