Collection of Official Documents, intended to undeceive the French with respect to the occurrences of the few years past, by Frederick Scholl, Counsellor of the Prussian Legation at Paris. In French. Paris. 9 vols. 8vo.It is a long time since so valuable a compilation of State papers has made its appearance. The highest authorities have emulously furnished the contents of these volumes, of most of which, though public for the rest of Europe, the French nation was kept in entire ignorance. They may be said to be indispensable for a thorough acquaintance with the history of Europe, since the commencement of the reign of Bonaparte. Such tables accompany the work as give immediate access to any particular document, and enable the enquirer to trace the whole in chronological order. We meant to make a selection for our present volume, of some of the most curious of the papers hitherto unpublished among us: but want of space obliges us to defer this for another occasion. The collection of M. Scholl should be in every public library, and we should be heartily glad to see it entire in English, with a better arrangement as to dates and countries, than was practicable under the circumstances of its publication in France.

An Historical and Critical Es say on the French Revolution, by M. P. P. Ex-secretary General of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Paris. 1815.A new contribution of some considerable value, to the stock of materials for the history of this portentous event. The following Summary making only a small part of the Inventory of the Revolution, and founded on unquestionable data, is, in itself, a whole volume of instruction. Inventory of the Revolution of France. About two thousand five hundred individuals have divided among them more than six hundred millions of dollars of the revenues of the State, and have cooperated in the dilapidation of seven milliards of francs, (about forty-two hundred millions of dollars,) of national domains or emigrants' property, without having paid any thing to the creditors of the last. Our legislators have given us twenty-five thousand four hundred and twenty-eight laws, and eight constitutions. France has lost seven millions of her sons; five millions five hundred, under the sway of Bonaparte. During the fifteen years of his government, his salary, and that of his principal functionaries-exclusive of military and administrative expenses-amounted to nine hundred and forty-four millions, seven t hundred and sixty thousand, four | hundred and sixty-seven francs. The first cause of all this was an annual deficit of fifty-five miltlions of francs in the national ex=penditure!! An Essay on the History of Nature, by Messrs. Gavoty and Toulouzan. 3 vols. in 8vo. large. A work of very rare merit in the execution, and embracing an immense variety of knowledge. A Treatise of Experimental and Mathematical Physics, by J. B. Biot, of the first class of the French Institute.-M. Biot is already well known by several valuable scientific memoirs, and particularly by his Elementary Treatise of Physical Astronomy, the most useful work extant in this department. The Treatise now announced is every way worthy of the high reputation of the author. He exposes, with greater fulness, depth, and connexion, than any of his predecessors, all that mathematical calculation and a long series of experiments have accomplished towards the improvement of natural philosophy. Besides stating and explaining in the most luminous manner, all the great discoveries in the science, M. Biot has furnished many new researches and discoveries hitherto unpublished. The copious and learned Introduction, addressed to M. Berthollet, contains important information concerning the unity of weights and measures. France under the Government of Napoleon Bonaparte, by J. B. Salgues. Paris.-The writer is already advantageously known in the republic of letters. His Materials are well chosen and arranged, and presented in a very attractive form. Secret Memoirs and unpublished Correspondence of Cardinal Dubois, Prime Minister under the Regency of the Duke of Orleans, during the minority of Louis. XV. in France. 2 vols. 8vo.-A work which throws new light upon a most interesting and eventful period of the modern history of Europe. The life of Cardinal Dubois furnishes more curious particulars and instructive lessons than that even of Cardinal Alberoni, his great cotemporary. The elevation of both was extraordinary and romantic, their influence unbounded over the courts of France and Spain respectively, and their immorality about equal, although it wore different aspects. Dubois is renowned for his adroitness, his gross debaucheries, his phrenetic temper, and an incredible application to business, although the | prince of voluptuaries.
