well executed plan of the town. There is alfo a more detailed. and more fatisfactory defcription of the town itfelf than ufually accompanies fuch publications, and the whole must have coft the compiler confiderable pains and labour. As few, however, will vifit the celebrated watering place without purchafing this manual, it is to be prefumed that their pains will be effectually repaid.

ART. 34. A Dane's Excurfion in Britain. By J. A. Anderson, Author of a Tour in Zealand. 2 Vols. 12mo. 5s. 1809.

These two little volumes contain fome lively and entertaining remarks, the confequence of different excurfions in England andScotland by a foreigner, whofe work of a fimilar kind on Zealand we have had occafion to notice with respect. The writer candidly puts his name to his work, which, indeed, on a curfory perafal, it is our opinion that he will have no occafion to' repent. He feem exceedingly well acquainted with English manners, our language, and with our beft claffical authors. He has cominunicated fome entertaining anecdotes, and the narrative is far better worth perufal than the numberiefs ephemeral produc tions, which, in fpite of the enormous price of paper, we contemplate with terror in heaps upon our tables.

ART. 35. The Epiftolary Correspondence of Sir Richard Steele, including his Familar Letters to his Wife and Daughters; to which are prefixed Fragments of three Plays, two of them undoubtedly Steele's, the third fuppofed to be Addij n's. Faithfully printed from the Originals, and illuftrated with Literary and Hiftorical Anecdotes. By John Nichols, F.S. A. E. A. P. 2 Vols. 8vo. 145. Nichols. 1809.

Mr. Nichols, whofe zeal in the caufe of literature appears to increase with his increafing years, formerly gave the Epiftolary Correfpondence of Sir Richard Steele in two fmalier volumes. Conicious, however, of the defire of the public to become ac quainted with every production of this favourite pen; he has now increased them by the addition of three Dramatic Fragments, and a confiderable number of Letters. This he has been enabied to do from the liberal communication of Mrs. Scurlock, the defcendant of Sir Richard, and the relict of the Rev David Scurlock. As the Letters and Fragments are unquestionably original, they require not our commendation. They are more or lefs connected with the writers and the fubjects of the Tatler, Spectator, and Guardian, and therefore cannot fail to be highly acceptable. Some, perhaps, will be confidered as too trifling for publication, and it must be confeffed that the Fragment of Tragedy imputed to Addifon, bears but inconfiderable marks of the dignity and energy of compofition which might be expected from the Author of Cato.

ART. 36. Letters from an Irish Student in England, to his Father in Ireland. 2 Vols. 8vo. Cradock and Joy.

1809.

There are, at fome period of every man's life, moments when he is anxious to diffipate the melancholy under which he labours; but whether this is done by the converfation of his friends, or by amusing himfelf with literary trifles, is of little importance. To any perfon in this mood, or indeed to all whofe only disposition is to while away the time, we may with great fincerity recommend the prefent volumes, in which they are likely to find, as far as our knowledge extends, a faithful delineation of the scenes described. The author's being a ftudent is of course entirely fuppofition, for were we obliged to detail our opinion of his character, it would be, that he was an obfervant and accomplished lounger. This we are induced to fay, from many reafons, particularly from the great attention bestowed on the Theatre. The author certainly advances many good reafons on the folly of fuppofing pugilistic combats (Letter 29) to be at all ufeful or advantageous.

ART. 37. The Ecclefiaftical and University Annual Regifter, for the Year 1808, with an Appendix, containing an Index, to the English Re&ories, Vicarages, Curacies, and Donatives, with the Valuations in the King's Books, the Names of the Patrons, and the Number of Parishioners in each Parish. 8vo. Baldwin. 1809.

16s.

This feems an undertaking of very difficult execution; but, as far as a curfory furvey of its various and multiplied contents has enabled us to judge, it appears to deferve commendation and encouragement. Its contents are the proceedings in parlia ment relative to ecclefiaftical affairs--proceedings in the diffe. rent bishopricks-proceedings in the univerfities, collegesan account of clerical inftitutions, fuch as the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy, Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, Bible Society, &c. &c. There is alfo an account of Irish bifhops, deans, &c. and the proceedings in the diocefes and univerfities of Scotland. To this is fubjoined, what is termed an hiftorical department, confifting of an historical account of the progrefs of the Gofpel in different nations fince its first promulgation. This appears rather out of place. It is intended alfo to introduce articles of ecclefiaftical biography, and we have, accordingly in this volume, the Life of the late Bishop of Worcester. The next article is an account of ecclefiaftical books and theological publications of the year-a clerical obituary and marriages, and the index defcribed in the title. That many errors muft infinuate themselves into fo diversified a work, can hardly be doubted, we would therefore in a friendly manner caution the editors not to undertake too much. Abstract, di.

dactic differtations might well be fpared: and the introduction of biographical articles, and critical obfervations on books deferve more confideration than can in fuch a work as this be confiftently allowed them. The index of rectories, &c., we fear, is fervilely copied from Bacon's Liber Valorum. We have feen names fixed to livings, as patrons, whofe families have long ceased to exist. We have looked for fome places without finding them. The editors, however, very candidly folicit the correc tion of error, and we are of opinion, that a judicious modifica tion of their plan cannot fail of being acceptable to those for whose more immediate use their publication is intended.

ART. 38. An Addrefs to Chriftians of every Denomination, particularly to the Society of Friends; on the Duty of promoting the Education of the Poor. By a Chriftian Friend. 8vo. 35 PP. Black, &c. 1809.

In reading the first half of this book, we turned back fre quently to the title page, having met with nothing that relates to the Education of the Poor. In the reft of the book, we have found much ftrong and useful admonition to the public in general, and to the Society of Friends (as they call themselves) in particular.
