body it marks separation: but Mr. F.'s prophetical image could spare one leg well enough, for he discovers nothing but continuation. This gentleman will also excuse us, if we say, that, as geogra phers, we cannot allow him to invert the order of longitude and latitude at his pleasure. He says, p. 117, "The territories. represented by the head of gold, are not to be considered as extending beyond the province of Babylon." Then he goes twenty degrees east, and finds Persia and Media, represented by the "second symbol (the breast and arms of silver)." Then he returns these twenty degrees westward, and adds to them more than thirty degrees further westwardly, in order to include "Macedon, Greece, Thrace," &c. and so continues his course westward. Now we say that no human image can justify this transposition: for it is no other than Sir John Mandeville's old error, of a people whose head was between their breast and their shoulders. Had the very worthy author condescended to delineate and mark his figure of a man, he could not have been so betrayed. We know that Mr. F. has great names in his favour when he pleads for finding all the ten toes in the Western empire; to these we have long deferred, in silence; but the greatest names cannot make that natural which is unnatural; and we repeat, that these ideas are thrown out for general consideration: when thoroughly considered, they will silence some mistakes. If we had not thought that some progress had been made, and still is making, in a proper understanding of the symbolical language of prophecy, these hints had not appeared. Mr. F. does not impeach our motives; and we certainly respect his. As to any further services expected from Napoleon Buonaparte, Mr. F. may be right; but we know certain well-meaning men, and who have written on the Revelations too, who sec something beyond a mere title in that of" King of Rome," with which he has decorated Napoleon the Second. Mr. Frere we are convinced will receive these observations with the same candour as they are offered. from the designs of Richard Westall, Esq. R. A.

A plan is proposed, and to proceed in its support, various encouragements founded on facts are brought forward. Shortly will be published, in quarto, illustrated by Engravings of the Lord President Forbes, of Roubiliac's celebrated Monument of him, and of Fac-similies of the most inter-liest to the present times; an account of esting Signatures, the Culloden Papers: comprising an extensive Correspondence, from the Year 1625 to 1748, which throws much new light upon that eventful Period of British History; but particularly regarding the Rebellions in 1715 and 1745; and including numerous Letters from the unfortunate Lord Lovat, and other distinguished Persons of the time; with occasional State Papers of much historical importance.

The following work may possibly prove useful to the purpose of those benevolent gentlemen who are intent on propagating thetruths of Christianity among all nations. Bibliotheca Arabica, Specimen primum ad quintum. Auctore C. F. Schnurrer. Each specimen contains from 40 to 50 pages. The intention of the author is, to afford a better notion of Arabic literature, than has heretofore prevailed, by adding to the titles of works a succinct analysis of their contents; and of the merits or defects of their various editions, &c. The first is allotted to writers on History, and Geography; the second comprises the Poets; the third and fourth the Grammarians and Lexicographers; the fifth is employed by the Author in reporting on works written by christians, in the Arabic language, for the purpose of propagating the principles of the gospel. It is very likely that among these may be found tracts well deserving general circulation, wherever the Arabic is the spoken language. Further researches might perhaps, discover other materials for the same purpose: and as this language prevails throughout so great a portion of the countries under British dominion, the acquisition and diffusion of such treatises becomes an object of the greater consequence. A sentence was there dictated to one of the deaf and dumb, named Massaca, a pupil of the Abbé Sicard, and by him communicated to one of the blind, who immediately turn, communicated to Massaca the senrepeated it in a loud voice. He, in his tence dictated by the meeting, who instantly wrote it down on a tablet. We are assured that Dr. Guillié intends coming to London for the purpose of mathe Royal Society. king an experiment of his practice before GREECE. New Literary Society. We have had repeated occasion to mention the struggles making by the Greeks of the present day, to establish and promote the interests of literature among their nation. Another literary society is now announced, intended to combine the united efforts of these unfortunate descendants of heroes, poets, artists, and men of science and letters. These friends of the muses, reside chiefly at Athens, and at Melia, in Thessaly. They have given to their society the name of Hetairia tôn Philomousôn. They have begun by forming Lyceums; one of them is called the Attic, the other the Thessalian. The contributions of the members, with the gifts of such as are disposed to promote the objects of the society, are employed in searches and diggings for antiquities, to be placed in these Museums, and also to pay the expences of educating chosen youths, whose employment it will be to circulate useful knowledge, and books among the people. Each Lyceum has a committee, part of whose duty it is, to facilitate and assist the researches of such learned travellers, as from time to time may visit We learn from a topographical descrip- Greece. The presidents of the two Lytion of the Grand Duchy of Baden, pub-ceumis maintain a correspondence on the lished in 1814, that the population of that Sovereignty amounted in 1812 to 1,001,603 persons. AUSTRIA. A work by the Archduke Charles, on the Campaigns of 1796, is announced in the Vienna papers as forthcoming. BADEN. FRANCE. Intercourse between the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind. Dr. Guillić, Director of the Royal Blind Institution at Paris, has been enabled, by an infallible method of his own invention, to establish an immediate and perfect mode of intercourse between the blind and the deaf and dumb. These two species of unfortunate individuals, betwixt whom Nature appeared to have placed insuperable barriers, may henceforward, thanks to the author of this invaluable discovery, draw near to perfectly understand each other. The first trial of this ingenious practice was made before a numerous public meeting held at Paris the 26th of August last. VOL. I. Lit. Pan. New Series.

They propose also to patronize botanical excursions on the mountains, &c. of Greece. A subscription of three piastres, yearly, is expected from a member of the soci ety. (Synegoros); Donors of considerable sums receive the title of benefactors (Euergete), and their names will be engraven ou pillars of marble and also printed in the Literary Journal, published in the national language (Greek.) Should this receive a general support from the Greek nation, it will justify hints, formerly dropped by us; and will prove contrary to the fixed maxim of their 2 H |
