To which, as an Appendix, is reprinted, entire, the celebrated Pamphlet of Killing no Murder.' 12mo. 2 vols. Pp. 844. 12s. Murray. 1804.

It were much to be wished, that these volumes could find their way into every houfe, and into every cottage, in the United Kingdom, to excite univerfal abhorrence of the wretches who now threaten to convert our country into a scene of defolation, blood, and vice. They difplay a series of more monftrous crimes, a picture of more complicated profli. gacy, than stand recorded in any annals of past or present

times.

Sailor's Daughter (The): a Comedy, in five Acts. By R. Cumberland, Efq. 2s. 6d. 1804. Lackington.

This piece did not meet with the fuccefs which its merit deferves. The greatest objection to it, however, is the fuddennefs of the incidents.

taby. 1804.

This little publication forms a most admirable present for youth of both sexes; as the greatest attention has been paid to exclude every thing improper for the juvenile mind, while all the famous papers of Addifon, and others, of a moral and religious tendency, have been fcrupulously preferved. The plates are beautiful; and it is to us incomprehenfible, how fuch a book can be fold at such a price.

Sporting Tour through the northern Parts of England and Part of Scotland, with Remarks on English and Scottish Landscape, &c. By Colonel Thornton. 4to. £.1 11s. 6d. Vernor and Hood.

This work is too eccentric to excite much regard: fome perfons, more ill-natured than ourselves, would be inclined to call it a mafs of egotifm; we, however, can do juftice to the motives of the liberal-minded author, and think of his production in a more favourable light.

St. Clair; or, the Heirefs of Defmond. By S. O. 12mo. pp. 248. 4s. 1803. Highley.

This is a very attractive little volume, full of the finest fentiments of friendship and sensibility, though liable to the charge of inconsistency.

T.

Tales (Ruffian). By Nicolai Karamfin. 8vo. pp. 274. 10s. 6d. Printed by G. Sidney. No Bookfeller's Name.

These are, for the most, love tales, which have much merit, though often alloyed by the tinfel of fentimentality, and the drofs of declamation.

Temple of the Fairies. From the French of various Authors. Vol. I. 6s. Vernor and Hood.

We are no advocates for the introduction of extravagant fictions, as a means of instruction: there are many other objections to this publication, confidering it as a book for children.

Temple (The) of Nature; or, the Origin of Society: a Poem, with philofophical Notes. By Erasmus Darwin, M.D. FR.S. Author of The Botanic Garden,' &c. 4to. pp. 298. £1 5s. Johnson. This poem, written in a monotonous flow of fimooth verfification, fometimes unintelligible, but which contains alfo ftriking paffages, is dangerous on account of its total denial of any interference of the Deity in the creation and prefervation of every thing; and of its adherence to a system of materialifim, degrading to human nature. Parents, or inftructors, fhould beware of letting it fall into the hands of their offspring, and of their pupils.

1803.

Mr. B. in his feverity against the Scotch, endeavours, though feebly, to imitate Dr. Johnson. He abounds at prefent too much in cenfure, which we hope he will abandon when time and reflection fhall have matured his thoughts.

Travels from Berlin to Paris, through Swifferland, &c. By A. Von Kotzebue, 3 vols. 12mo. 13s. 6d. Phillips.

We never met with so much interesting matter in so small a compass. It is the best description of Paris that we have

feen, and we should have been more copious in our extracts, but for the latenefs of the period at which it fell into our hands.

Having yet had little opportunity of infpecting this work, and judging of its interelt from the already eftablished fame of its author, we muft defer our opinion till our next publi

cation.

From the eftimation in which the author's first volume was held, he was encouraged to complete the work; and he has thereby made a confiderable addition to his well-earned reputation.

Travels through Weftphalia to Paris. By T. Holcroft, Efq. With numerous fuperb Engravings. 2 vols. 4to. 5 5s. Phillips.

Mr. H. enters at great length into a defcription of the manners and customs of the French; and though, as might be expected, many parts of his work are liable to objections, yet the errors are eclipfed in the general intereft of fo fplendid a publication.

These letters, written without previous reflection or Audy, exhibiting sentiments flowing warm from the heart, will be read with interest and pleasure, as they abound in light adventures and interefting anecdotes, natural paintings and notices of eminent characters. The tranflation, the work of a foreigner, a Dane, is as fuch, furprisingly correct.

U.

Unexpected Legacy: a Novel. By Mrs. Hunter, of Norwich. 2 vols. 12mo. 9s. Longman and Co.

The characters of this novel are fuch as occur in ordinary life; and they are so well delineated, that the work rises far above the majority of fimilar productions.

This awfully-inftructive pamphlet, written with the great. eft ability and energetic candour, on a subject of the utmost importance to fociety, shows to the rational and pious mind the growing depravity of the prefent times; and inculcates the neceffity of immediate and general reform, as the only fure means of national falvation.
