A Second Collection of Letters to a Young Clergyman, by the Rev. Job Orton, is nearly ready for publication.

A Life of Romney the painter, from the pen of Hayley, will fhortly appear, and will be accompanied with a variety of engravings.

The fixth volume of the General Biographical Dictionary, by Dr. Aikin, Mr. Morgan. &c. which had met with a temporary delay, is gone to the prefs. It is conducted by the fame writers with thofe of the preceding volumes; but the Spanish and Portuguefe literary biography will be given more at large by a gentleman peculiarly acquainted with that department.

A profpectus of two periodical works has been iffued at New York, the fir

entitled, The Continent of Europe, or the Paris Correfpondent; and the fecond, L'Amerique du Nord, ou Le Correspondent des Etats Unis. In the first part of the propofed work will be comprehended a brief analytical account of all the productions, in every branch of literature, fcience, and the arts, which may appear on the continent of Europe, exhibiting fucceffiyely to view the progrefs and state of knowledge, in France, Germany, Ruflia, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Spain, Switzerland, and Italy.-To each number will be fubjoined, important ftate papers, Paris price-currents of merchandize, and other ufeful commercial intelligence. The various articles will be arranged under the general heads of phyfical and mathematical fciences;-ecopcmy and ufeful arts-morals and politicks; hiftory and biography ;-fine arts;-general history of literature.

a fuitable introduction to this work, the Editor proposes to give a Catalogue raifonné, of Greek, Latin, English, French, Spanife, and Italian books, selected from the best bibliographical and periodical works that have appeared in France, and which will present a brief retrospect of the literature and fcience of paft years. A good catalogue of books in foreign languages is much wanted by men of letters in America, many of whom are unable to make a proper felection from a want of a fuitable means to guide their choice, The Editor has fpared no pains in making a collection, with a particular view to the United States; and he indulges the hope, that the profeffors of univerfities, colleges, and academies, the members of learned focieties, and the lovers of literature and the arts, in general, will find in the numbers of the Continent of Europe, or the Paris Correfpondent, much useful bibliographical intelligence, and valuable information in all the various branches of human knowledge, and that they will honour the prefent undertaking with their patronage and support. The first work will be printed in English, and published every month, by Ifaac Riley Co. of New York. Each number will contain at leaft 48 pages 8vo. price 50 cents. The materials neceffary to commence and carry on the work are already provided, and will in future be regularly furnished by H. Caritat from Paris. The publication will commence as foon as a fufficient number of fubfcribers are obtained to defray the expenfes of the undertaking -The fecond work, entitled L'Amerique du Nord, ou Le Correspondent des Etats Unis, is defigned to exhibit to the inhabitants of Europe an account of all the publications, productions, difcoveries, and improvements, in the United States. It will contain the various articles in all the branches of literature and science, arranged under proper heads, with an analytical account of the fame, in the manner propofed as to the first part. The prices of goods, publick stocks, and other

useful commercial information will be added. As this work will be published in the French language, by H. Caritat, at Paris, American authors and publishers will have an opportunity of having their productions made known throughout Europe: for which purpose it will be necellary to make early communications of them to Ifaac Riley & Co. at New York, by whom arrangements will be made relative to both works, for the convenience of fubfcribers in every part of the United States. The fecond work will be comprifed in numbers of about 32 pages octavo, and published monthly at Paris, at 25 cents each. Subfcriptions received at the Anthology Office.

The long expected Tour of Colonel Thornton through various parts of France, a fplendid work, which has been nearly three years in hand, is now nearly ready for publication. It will be comprifed in two volumes imperial quarto, illuftrated by about eighty beautiful engravings in colours, by Mr. Scott and other artifts, from original drawings, defcriptive of the country, customs, and manners of the people, taken by the in genious Mr. Bryant, who accompanied the Colonel exprefsly for that purpose. This tour was performed during the ceffation of hoftilities, toward the conclufion of the year 1802, and the route be ing entirely different from that usually taken by English travellers, no small degree of information and intereft is expect ed to refult from the perufal of the work. To the sportsman in particular it cannot fail to prove highly gratifying, as we have no account whatever of the state of fporting in that country. Another edition of the work will appear at the fame time in royal quarto, with the plates uncoloured.

The univerfal and heartfelt tribute of refpect which has been paid to the memory of the late lamented Lord Nelfon, has communicated its influence to the painters and poets; and many, very many, have, ever fince we had the advice of his death, been exerting all their powers to perpetuate his praise and immortalize his fame. They began with mixing marks of their regret with the illuminations for his brilliant victory, in which the blazing windows bore teftimony to the feelings of the inhabitants,

In words that blaze, and thoughts that burn." It must be acknowledged, however, that fome of the infcriptions were more fimilar to readings in Weftminster-Abbey, than to the tranfparencies of a rejoicing-night.

Jean, the artift, of Newman street, exhibited a tranfparency of Britannia, with the ufual infignia of Fame, the victories of the gallant Admiral, and on the west fide an urn, with the following infcrip

tion:

Fritannia, vidor, ever muft deplore
Her darling Hero, Nelson, now no more!"

The infcription at the house of Mr. Abraham Goldimid was peculiarly appropriate and intelligent. Between two cordous of lamps, in transparent letters, I rejoice for my country, but mourn for my friend."

But fetting afide thefe little effufions of the hour, we find that feveral great works are in hand on the occafion.

Meffrs. Boydells intend having a very capital picture engraved in the first ftyle in commemoration of the event, but we believe have not yet entirely arranged the plan, though it will be laid before the publick in a few days.

Mr. Weft and Mr. Heath have nounced and advertised their plan.

Mr. Copley has ftated that he intends painting a large picture on the fame fubject.

We have, befide these, many advertisements from other artifts who intend publishing memorials on a smaller scale.

Mr. Orme has advertifed an engraving from a picture to be painted by Mr. Craig; and Mr. Ackermann, we have been told, will almoft immediately publish a highly-finished graphick record of the Admiral's victories, &c., furmounted with a naval trophy in honour of his memory.

The Honourable Mrs. Damer has prefented to the Corporation of the City of London a marble Buft of Lord Nelion, which is to be placed on an elegant mar ble pedestal, and deposited in the Council-Chamber at Guildhall.

In about a month's time Meffrs. Eoydells will publish a portrait of Lord No. fon, which is now engraving by Earlom, from a picture painted by Sir William Beechey, and prefented to the Corporation of the City of London by the late Alderman Boydell.

We faw this picture foon after it was finifled, and thought it one of the finest that Sir William Beechey ever painted-It is a moft fpirited and anima.ed por trait, marked with and and appropriate character, but not painted to be viewed upwards of twenty feet above the eye, and at that height we were very much mortified to fee it exhibited in the Council-Chamber at Gunichail, where it is placed immediately over the leat of the Lord Mayor. But juftice to the its removal to a fituation nearer the eye; of our famented Hero demands memory for here the whole portrait appears of one tone of colour, and the honourable fcar in the Admiral's forehead,which was a remarkable mark, is entirely loft. 'I he portrait of Lord Rodney, which is fo painted that it would adnat of being placed at a greater height, is about twelve feet from the eye. The fituation of the two portraits might be changed, and Lord Nelfon put in the place now appropriated to Lord Rodney, and vite verfa.--Lond. Month. Retroff ect.

Advices recently received from Naples contain further details relative to the unrolling of the manufcripts difcovered at Herculaneum. Eleven perfons are at prefent employed in unrolling and copy. ing. The manufcripts hitherto infpect ed amount to about 140, eight of which have already been interpreted and tranf mitted to the minifter Seratti, that they may be examined by the Academy, and ordered to be printed. These manufcripts are, fix of Epicurus, entitled, 1177

On Nature. Another is by Philodemus ; its title is, wig The Ogyes, On Anger. The eighth wants both the title and name of the author. It treats of nature and the worship of the gods. The next four are almoft entirely explained; but they have not yet been tranfmitted, becaufe Mr. Hayter and the Abbé Foti, of the order of St. Bafil, jointly are to fuperintend their publication.

The Abbé Foti has first to collate the copies with the originals, to supply what is necefary, and to tranflate. Mr.Hayter collate, after him, alters what he thinks proper in the fupplements and tranflations, and delivers the copy to M. Foti,to be agaia tranfcribed. The delay occafoned by Mr. Hayter in his labours, is the reason why thefe manufcripts have not yet been feat either to the Academy or the Minifter. Their titles are as follow: one on logick, entitled On the Strength of Arguments drawn from Analogy-He' TEV AUTIXELKAVE Aprav, Treatife on Vices and the contrary Virtues— 12 work, On Death. These three works are by Philodemus. The author of the fourth is Poliftratus: Πρόλογο κατα φονησιῶς ο δε επιγράφεσι

,

Κακιάν και

της αλόγος κατα θρασυνομένης τῶν EV Tamakkals dekyouver, On unreasonable Contempt; that is, of those who defpife anjuftly what others commend —This manufcript is the least damaged, and many pa Tages of it are abfolutely untouched The other papyri are in a great part by Philodemus; they treat of rhetorick, of poetry, and of morality. The publi cation of these manufcripts cannot take place with all the expedition that could be wifhed, as the originals are to be engraved before they are prefented to the publick. This procefs requires much time and money, and the want of the latter will confiderably retard the publication. M. Rofini, bishop of Puzzuoli, to whom the publick is indebted for the fragment of Philodemus on Mufick, is the perfon appointed by the Court of Naples to fuperintend the engraving and the publication of these manufcripts.

A diftinguished man of fcience at Naples has published an account of a vifi: he paid to Pompeii fince the late refearches ordered by the Queen of Naples. The principal particulars of his statement are as follow:--" In a fearch begun about feven years ago was difcovered the capital of a pilafter, which was fufpected to be the lateral front of a grand portico. Laft winter the works were refumed at that place, and the correfponding pilafter was found. The brafs hinges of the door have been removed to the Mufeum of Portici. The habitation into which it leads is large and commodious, and richly ornamented with paintings and mofaic-work. The building is formed of fquare ftones, fo nicely fitted and cemented, that the whole would be taken for a single mafs.

--The paffage which ferves for entrance is twelve palms long, and ten wide. It leads to a court, the walls of which are covered with ftucco of various colours.-The capitals and cornices are in good prefervation; and I there obferved a rofe, which is a master-piece both of defign and execution. All the apartments are decorated with beautiful paintings on a red, blue, and yellow ground. You there fee likewife detached columns, with flowers, candelabras, and ornaments, in the best style. To the left are two apart ments, which were probably thofe of the mafter and miftrefs. The painter gave a free cope to his imagination in all the pictures, which I beheld with inexpreffible delight. Nothing can be more pleafing, among others, than a dance of perfons in marks; and nothing more graceful than a little bird pecking at a basket of figs. In the centre of the court is a ciftern, the impluvium of the Romans. On a marble pedestal is a young Hercules feated on a hind of bronze. These two pieces, one of which weighs about twenty pounds, and the other forty, are of the most finished workmanship. The water fell from the mouth of the hind into a beautiful couch, of Grecian marble. Behind the pedestal was a table, the yellow feet of which reprefent the claws of an eagle.-Thefs perfect works have likewife been conveyed to the Museum. A lateral corridor on the right leads to a fecond court, which was furrounded by piazzas, as is proved by the octagonal columns covered with stucco. In one of the apartments are obferved two Bacchantes holding thyrfi-Above the window, to the right, is a painting of Europa, of great beauty; he is quite naked, and is feated on the bull, which is plunging into the fea. Beneath is a young man carrying a basket of fruits: he is raifing himself on tiptoe; and this attitude re quired of the artift a ftrongly marked expreffion of the mufcular fyftem. On the oppofite fide a beautiful female dan cer excites admiration fhe is holding and ftriking two cymbals; her veil, which floats behind her, produces a very fine effect. On proceeding into the adjoining hall, the first thing that ftruck me was a magnificent pavement of the moft precious African marbles. The ceiling reprefents Venus between Mars and Cupid. In this hall were found a small idol of bronze, a gold vase weighs ing three ounces, a gold coin, and twelve

:

others of copper, with the effigy of Vef pafian. In the hall to the left fragments of pictures, painted on wood, half carbonized, were diftinguishable: they were inclofed in a kind of niches: this was the bed chamber; eight little columns by which it was fupported may ftill be feen they are of bronze, and to their fummits ftill adhere some pieces of gilded wood, which probably formed a canopy. On the lateral wall were painted two priests with tong beards, and clothed in robes of blue and green they have been removed to the Museum.

The kitchen contained a great quantity of utensils, moftly of iron inlaid with filver in inconceivable perfection.

But what most ftruck me were five candelabras painted in fresco on a ground of an extremely brilliant yellow I fcarcely knew how to leave the room which contained this mafter-piece of tafte and elegance: they are fupported by fmall figures, whofe attitude, drefs, and drapery, are fo exquifitely graceful, that they might ferve as models to all the belles in the world. In this houfe, as in most others of the ancients, you find no window opening towards the street. I was ftruck with the fragments of a chariot which is still remaining in the coach-house you may perfectly diftinguish the wheels and the brass ornaments of the chariot itself.-Clofe to the habitation is feen a door that con

ducts to another, and which, to judge by its exterior, will not furnish fewer beauties whenever it shall be permitted to be opened."

From Feb. 20th to March 20th.

THE weather of the past month has been, for the most part, cold and unpleafant. This is to be attributed to the prevalence of rough north-easterly winds, which have existed through the month, almost without intermission.

"No gently-breathing breeze prepares the spring;"

but nature has again invested herself with her wintry robe.

To the north-easterly winds may be afcribed innumerable catarrhs, fome of

which have been fo fevere a, to demand Pneumonic inflammation medical aid. has been common, but not fatal. Besides thefe inflammatory diseases, there have been fome cafes of cynanche tonfillaris, and we are informed that the cynanche maligna exifts. Typhus mitior, which was prevalent in the autumn and did not entirely difappear during the winter, feems again to have become frequent.

Some time fince, we remarked" that vaccination was fcarcely heard of." It is with forrow that we repeat this remark.

People think that phyficians are eager to propagate this disease for their own advantage. This is a very mistaken notion; for the faculty rather receive injury, than profeffional emolument, from the vaccinating practice. A fpirit of philanthropy has excited great exertions for the diffufion and preservation of this practice; yet the time may come, when that fpirit will be extinguifhed by the prejudices of fome, and the cold indiffe rence of others.

Editors' Notes.

THE continuation of the review of the Transactions of the Academy unfortunately was not prepared in season for the present number.

We should be proud to number the Authors of the Essay on Method and the Character of Dr. Howard among the regular contributors to the Anthology. It makes us nobis carior to be allowed to unite with ours the productions of minds, stored as theirs are with the riches of ripen. ed thought, and ample and digested knowledge. The verses of L. are classical and ingenious. We should be pleased to be frequently indebted to the writer of the beautiful lines on Shipwreck. We do not precisely understand A. B.'s design. If he means to quarrel with the Reviewer of the sermon in question, he takes an odd method, by coinciding with him in opinion ;...if with the Writer, he cannot expect that we should make our work the theatre of the dispute.
