Brouffonet Icthyologia Dr. Falconer on the Influenza LON DO N: PRINTED FOR JOHN FIELDING, N° 93, PATER-NOSTER ROW; [ Price ONE SHILLING.] We are very forry that the first number of the Series of Effays entitled Anecdotes of the Arts and Living Artifts of Europe came too late for publication this month. The cir cumftance of our Correfpondent's having been obliged to make a trip to the Continent was the caufe of the unexpected delay. In our next we propofe to begin the important fubje&t, of which we gave notice in our Intro duction to the current volume, viz. A fummary Account of the Lectures on the fevera Branches of the Arts and Sciences, delivered in Courfes, by the diftinguished Profeffors of the prefent Day in this Metropolis, and in the different Universities of Europe, accompanied with Anecdotes of the Lecturers.-Our Plan is to publifh a Syllabus of each Courfe and Syftem; by which the Student will be taught where the Scheme of Education, which he wishes to purfue, is to be found. The Affiftance and Contributions of the Literati towards the Accomplishment of this ufeful Undertaking are moft earnestly requested. The petulant letter on the extract from Mr. Duten's book should have been addressed to thofe who are really the plagiaries. We are no ways difpofed to call in question the pretenfons of Mr. Thickneffe to thofe valuable Hints; nor do we think the Earl of Bute will be difpleafed at their refloration to the rightful owner. We might well be ignorant of the tref pafs when they only appeared before in the volume to which our Correfpondent alludes. We ean fincerely compaffionate the man whofe weak anger finds gratification in unmeaning threats. We thank Zeno for his very favourable opinion of our work, and inform him that his Tale will be published in our next, and we hope to hear from him frequently in the famɛ line. The fuggeftion of L. O. is valuable, and the matter might with great utility be pursued in a diftinct work; but the fcale is too large for the compafs of a magazine. We cannot oblige W. M. The book to which he alludes does not rank among the new publications. The Infcriptions by the Author of Enoch are left with Mr. Fielding, to be delivered as defired. We Shall thank N. P. of Bristol for fuch communications, relative to the Arts and Artifis, as he may think neceffary to our plan. Sedley is well intitled to correct the errors of a work which he honours with his correfpondence. He will fee that we have attended to his remark in the omiffion of the article. All his pieces are ordered for infertion, and we thank him for his liberal contributions. J. F. is come to hand.. L's pieces are come to hand, and his Country Curate fhall be inferted in our next. We thank Obfervator, and fhall make proper ufe of his information. Speculations on Wisdom, and Rectitude of Perception, and the other pieces by the fame diflinguifhed author are intended for publication. As are D's Effay on Theatrical AMarius on Friendship, and C's Anna. ton. The want of room has obliged us to pofipene many articles defigned for this number, and particularly various anecdotes of authors to cur next. Our Correfpondent T. T. will find us ready to fecond his endeavours in promoting the fudy of philofophy. Chora will now have her wish refpecting the Influenza gratified. In answer to X. Y. 7.. we inform him that we cannot object to the difcuffion of mathe matical questions provided they are curious, and worthy the attention of men of letters. We Shall be happy to be honoured with the further correfpondence of Z from Edinburgh. Curio is entertained at the idea of our introducing the Skaiters March in the month July. In anfwer to this we shall only fay, that like other delicacies it will perhaps be more palateable for being out of feafon. Ice-creams are ferved up in fummer, and why not fongs about ice. We shall give fome account of the Shaiters Club. |
