thefe errors are few, and probably not more numerous than in Dictionaries of a larger fize, and greater price. The accents on the foreign words, on the names of heathen deities, &c. are more exact. On the whole, we think this an useful and elegant compilation. Baron Munchaufen's Narrative of his marvellous Travels and Campaigns in Ruffia. Small 8vo. IS. Smith. This is a fatirical production, calculated to throw ridicule on the bold affertions of fome parliamentary declaimers. If rant may be best foiled at its own weapons, the author's defign is not ill-founded; for the marvellous has never been carried to a more whimfical and ludicrous extent. The Cafe of Major John Savage. Svo. 25. Nicholls. In this pamphlet, major Savage gives an account of his em ployment under government, during lord North's adminiftration, in the recruiting fervice in Germany. He claims a reimbursement of his expences, and a compenfation for his fervices, which, it seems, he never has received. On what account a requifition fo reasonable should be denied, we do not know; but humanity induces us to wish, that a cafe which is reprefented as fo unjust and oppreffive, should meet with a fair inveftigation. New Annals of Gallantry. 8vo. IS. Randall. A collection from the General Advertiser relative to the unfortunate incident in captain I- -'s family. It is entirely foreign to the province of criticism, and merits only our fympathy for the captain's domeftic unhappiness. CORRESPONDENCE. IN our review of Mr. Mofs's Medical Survey of Liverpool, we aimed at giving a candid and impartial account; nor at this moment are we aware that we have misunderstood his defign, unless there be any not yet hinted at. We cannot follow him through all his animadverfions; but shall felect thofe which militate against our conduct. He feems averfe to allowing the utility and importance of mechanical affiftance,' in measuring the heat or the weight of the air. He has great authorities on bis fide, and we are not without them on our's. It must not, however, be decided by thefe, but by experiment; and, as the attention of physicians have been lately directed to this point, we may have an opportunity of enlarging on it. We might amufe ourselves by one paffage in his Letter, where he says, our bills of mortality take not in the births (which I fuppofe you mean for deaths) and give only the num ber of burials.' We never knew of any other meaning for bills of MORTALITY, but what we have given. We hope the copperworks are more distant than the opposite island, otherwife there may may be ftill danger from infection. The fize of the town, and the fluctuating number of inhabitants, can be no objection to a calculation of its population; and this may be easily made from the number of deaths, though not with the nicest accuracy. Though we alledged that no circumstances, actually confidered independent of their effects, could explain the falubrity of any place, yet we meant not to caft a damp' on fimilar enquiries. If Mr. Mofs will compare the first part of his Letter with the middle, he will find, that he has contended for the pofition, which he afterwards fears may, when we more clearly explained it, impede medical enquiries. We cannot enter on the fubject of ale, diet, or rheumatisms; as we spoke, on mature confideration, and without the slightest influence, we are not difpofed to retract our.cenfure. At the fame time, we must allow Mr. Mofs both good temper and candour. We regret only that, at our diftance, and in our fituation, it is not eafy to enter into a friendly examination of these very doubtful fubjects, on which it is no difgrace to our author that we differ from him. He cannot think it any imputation, that remarks of fo little extent, on subjects of fuch magnitude,. fhould be neceffarily imperfect.' WE are obliged to the gentleman who, fearing that we may be too bufy, or diftrufting our impartiality, has kindly reviewed his own work. We muft beg leave to inform him, that every attempt of this kind we reject with indignation: if it be again repeated, we shall mention the name of the perfon who appears meanly to fhrink from a fair examination. OUR Anonymous' Friend feems a little hypercritical in his language. If we deduct errors, what muft remain? We prefume, merit. We do not believe Mr. Hume a fophift, who was not himfelf a convert; but we know that he did not aim at making difciples among the forward and ignorant; and that he pur pofely kept his writings from their view, by the intricacy of fome of his difquifitions. The confufion in his definitions, we own, could not be defigned for this purpofe; but the errors in thefe preliminary fteps may have mifled himself. The attention of fuch candid correlpondents we shall always confider as a fayour, and their approbation as our greateft reward. WE fully agree with our correfpondent who styles himself "Neither a Parfon nor a Methodist.' Muft he be either, to countenance profanenefs? The play alluded to is, however, the Critic, not the School for Scandal.'
