important little work, which contains much valuable information. Though designed for higher latitudes, it contains numerous facts which will be highly useful in this country. We can only give an abstract of the contents. We find, then, in this volume whatever relates to the natural history of sheep, viz. the difference of their instinct, dentition, and the period of their copulation. The authors next point out the characters of good wool, the difference of sheep-skins, the properties of the meat of different races; in what the fineness of the wool consists, and at what age the sheep is fit for propagation; with the hereditary defects of these animals, and the means of preventing their degeneration. In the last chapters they treat of the melioration of the Danish breed by the Friseland rams, and of the properties of the latter ; of the Danish, Iceland, Ferrol, and other sheep; the melioration of the Danish sheep by the English breed; of their diseases, with the means of preventing and curing them. Art. 59.-Bemerkungen auf einer Reise durch das Sudlich Deutsch land. Observations made during a Journey through the South of Germany, Alsace, and Switzerland, in the Years 1798 and 1799. · By M. d'Eggers. 8vo. Vol. II. and III. Copenhagen. We have already noticed the first volume of this work. The second contains the author's journey from Rastadt to Strasburg, with his observations on the present situation of the latter city, on Alsace, and the revolutions of Switzerland. The best informed German travellers have observed, that M. Eggers seems not to have drawn his remarks from authentic sources. He sometimes, like a celebrated alderman of our own country, quotes his hair-dresser at Strasburg. Indeed, what he says of this city scems to be copied, in part, from the famous Blue Book, compiled by a printer, and partly from a description of Strasburg, published previous to the revolution, for Koenig. But we shall not enlarge on inaccuracies, which the author might have corrected by attending to the remarks of the most respectable journalists of Germany, which, however, he seems to have overlooked. The third volume is not equally faulty. Tlie description of the electorate of Baden and the Brisgaw is more important and interesting. The author staid longer at these places, and seems to have obtained better information. The last two letters of the volume contain the observations on Switzerland. SWEDEN. Art.60.—Practik Hand Lexicon foer Landhunshalase och Kostenarer. A practical Manual of Rural Economy and the Arts. Published by Olof Linderholm. Vol. I. A to. E. 870. Stockholm. Sweden does not appear to be a country favourable to extensive works-pendent opera interrupta; at least we may form this opinion from the slow progress of the great Economical Dictionary of Fischerstrcem (nya Suensk Economiska Dictionaire), of which, in twenty-four years, only two volumes have appeared, terminating at the letter B. The present work, we trust, will proceed more rapidly. On a general view, the author seems to have executed his proposed plan with ability. The articles are sufficiently full to give a correct idea of the objects, their properties, their use and prepari. tion. Some of them are more extensive, particularly on alun, arsenic, ash, amber, balsam, bees, bread, bark, distillation, diamond, &c. Art. 61.-Svenska Krigsmanna Sällskassels Handlingar, for der 1800. Memoirs of the Swedish Military Academy for the Year 1800. Stockholm. The Swedish military academy is composed of the king, its protector, eleven honorary and eighty active members. The volume before us, which is only the second, contains two memoirs, viz. Count Rumford's Attempt to determine the Force of Gun. powder, translated from the Philosophical Transactions for 1781, by Lieutenant-colonel Arrhenius ; and Observations on the Regu. lations of the Exercise of the Swedish Army, by the Cheralier Doebeln. An abstract only of the last memoir is given, as the plates would render the publication of the whole too expensive. Art. 62.- Ulfverlig Geographie foerfatted, &c. Complete Geography, by Dan. D’Jurberg ; accompanied with a Supple ment, and a Chart of the Il’est Indies. Vol. I. Stockholm. This author has already published many geographic works, and five charts, iii. two of Polynesia, one of France in four sheets one of Asiatic Turkey, and one of the West Indies. This is, in reality, the first volume of a second edition ; the first of which appeared in 1786, and was received with great respect. The first volume contains the cosmography and the general geography: the system of the world is explained at much greater length than in the first edition : and the author next considers this planet in its philosophic, mathematical, and geographic relations. The next subject of importance is the population of different countries. He gives Portugal 3,000,000 of inhabitants ; Spain 11,000,000, France 33,000,000; Italy, without reckoning the Austrian possessions and Corsica, about 16,500,000; Germany, independent of the Austrian and Prussian states, 11,360,000; Austria about 25,000,000; Prussia 8,000,000; England 13,000,000 ; Denmark 2,500,000; Sweden 3,200,000; European Russia 35,000,000; and Turkey 10,000,000. He estimates the population of Europe at 180,000,000, of Asia 440,000,000, Africa 120,000,000, North Americá 25,000,000, South America 15,000,000, Polynesia 20,000,000; consequently, that of the whole world at about 800,000,000. The political division of the earth follows; and at the end of the volume is a memoir on geogony, which ought to have been at the beginning : and under the title of Criticism we find numerous ad. ditions, and some account of the Piazzi, and other discoveries, : The supplement contains a particular description of Ceylon, Cuba, Jamaica, and St. Domingo, with a chart of the West Indies.
