the regular, durable, and deftructible works of God; fubject to eftablished laws, and as evidently marked with defign, order, regularity, and harmony, as the fyftein difplayed in the material world.

The wonders of creation, natural and artificial; being an account of the most remarkable mountains, rivers, lakes, caves, cataracts, mineral fprings, and antiquities in the world. Compiled from geographers, historians, and travellers of the greatest celebrity, by D. R. Prefton, author of the Juvenile Inftructer, &c. Two large volumes 12mo-price one dollar. Boston.

The plan of this work is as follows: The first volume will be devoted to America, as being most interesting to Americans. Under North America, will be found its principal mountains, rivers, lakes, caves, cataracts, mineral fprings, Indian mounds, antiquities, &c. Under South America, the fame articles-alfo its mines, and fome particulars of ancient Mexico, Peru, &c. Europe, Afia, and Africa, being least

interefting to us, will together form another volume.

Here the reader may expatiate on things worthy of admiration, and view as they arise those wonders which owe their existence to the immediate hand of God or the effect of human invention. He must not be discouraged by the length of the journey, for he will find fuch a variety of entertaining objects by the way, as will make him forget the pains he may take in climbing the rugged Alps, or traverfing the deferts of Africa. Befides if he makes proper reflections on the furprifing works of Providence, as well as thofe the art of man has produced, he will not only have the pleasure of gratifying his curiofity, but probably enlarge his ftock both of piety and knowledge. As the outlines of this work have received the approbation of feveral diftinguished literati of our country, the author fubmits it with more confidence to the publick.

A copy of an English edition of the Analytical Inftitutes of the very learned Italian lady Donna Agnefi, late profeffor of mathematicks and philofophy in the university of Bologna, has been received by G. Baron of N. York, one of the editors of the Mathematical Correfpondent. This work, well known and juftly valued on the continent of Europe, was published at Milan in the year 1748, when the celebrated author was about 28 years of age. The learned and ingenious John Colfon, M. A. F. R. S. who was well acquainted with what had appeared on the fame fubject in the works of thofe ingenious men, Emerfon, Maclaurin, and Simpfon, found the Analytical Inftitutions of Agnesi to be fo excellent, that he was at the pains of learning the Italian language at an advanced age, for the fole purpose of tranflating that work into English, for the benefit of the British youth. This great defign he lived to accomplish, and had actually tranfcribed a fair copy for the prefs, when death put an end to his labours, Mr. Colfon's MS. remained many years in obfcurity, and might probably have been configned to eternal oblivion, had

it not been for the active spirit of barom Maferes, the great encourager of mathematical learning in England,

Vir in rem mathematican promovendam natus. This noble patron of fcience and generous rewarder of mathematical merit, refolved to bear the whole expenfe of the handfome English edition of the Inftitutes, and to render the work as correct as poffible employed the Rev. J. Hellings, a man eminent for mathematical knowledge, in printing the fame. The work contains 623 large 4to. pages, bound in two volumes. The first volume treats of algebra, and contains a vaft number of ingenious geometrical conftructures defigned to exhibit and illuftrate the nature and refolution of algebraick equations; the fecond includes the doctrines of fluxions, applied to a great variety of useful and fublime fubjects.

The long difputed manuscripts of the Poems of Offian, in the original Celtick, are now in the British prefs under the aufpices of the Highland Society, to be accompanied by a latin translation by the late Mr. Macfarlane. The whale,

By private letters from Paris we learn, that his majefly the Emperour Napoleon has prefented to Mr. Livingfton, late minister from the United States to the French Court, on behalf of the Academy of Arts eftablished in New York, of which his majesty is an honorary member, a very valuable collection, estimated at 50,000 livres, (10,000 dollars.) k must be matter of pride to the inhabitants of this city to have given birth to an inftitution, which has fhewn itself worthy of fuch diftinguifhed patronage; and it is hoped, that this high teftimonial of respect will infpire them with fresh zeal for the advancement of an establishment, which has attracted such confpicuous attention abroad, and which, if properly supported, cannot fail to add luftre to our national character.-Morn. Chron.

Noli me tangere. The publication of a biographical work, containing the genealogical and revolutionary history of new princes of the imperial court of Bonaparte, having been lately announced in the Mercantile Advertiser, an aid-de-camp of general Thureau, French minifter plenipotentiary in the U. States came in a poft-chaise to town for the exprefs purpose of preventing the said publication. The minifter, foreseeing that this work would occafion many polemick difcuffions, and of course highly displease the new imperial court, thought it advisable to stop the publi cation by buying the manufcript.

The bargain was accordingly made, and Mr. Daudet the author of faid work, who lodges at Mrs. Bocquet and Freffinet's boarding house,in Greenwichftreet, gave up his manufcript to the faid aid-de-camp, for the confideration of 1000 dollars and a free paffage to Martinico, where he is bound.

We are informed, that the gentleman who was to tranflate the faid work, hearing of the tranfaction, offered 1500 dollars, but that Mr. Daudet, who had paffed his word, declined the offer.

The publick curiofity would no doubt have been highly gratified by the publication of the faid work, as it would

Meffrs. Cufhing & Appleton, of Salem, have juft iffued a new edition of C. Crifpi Salluftii, Belli Catilinarii et Jugurthini Hiftoriæ, &c. "The text," fay the publishers, " has been carefully revised, and collated with three of the best editions of this author, and unwearied pains taken in correcting the prefs. The notes are chiefly selected from those of the edition In ufum Delphini. The redundancies of that commentary are ex punged, and many additional annotations inferted from commentators and philologists of the first authority. To give a greater value to this edition with the more advanced scholar, the various readings of the most importance are occasionally pointed out in the notes. By a late regulation of Harvard Univerfity a knowledge of Salluft has been made pre-requifite to admiffion into that feminary, and the present edition was orig inally undertaken at the request and with the approbation of the governours of that inftitution, and has been fuperintended by a gentleman, lately a member of that body. The Elzevir editions of the Clafficks have been made the model, as to the arrangement of the page and fize of the character; and the impreffion is from a new and handsome type."

From a Paris paper of March 29.

Arts and Sciences.-There appeared a few days fince upon the fun, a large fpot, with nuclei, which I observed in 90. north of the folar equator. It differs little from the beautiful spots which I made ufe of to determine the fun's rotation, in the Memoirs of the Academy of 1776, and feems to confirm the difcovery I made at that time, by thowing that there are fome places in preference to others where the large fpots are formed. Perhaps they are mountains, which collect and retain the fcoria of this immenfe furnace. The parallel that is 9°. fouth of the folar equator abounds moft in the great fpots. Thefe fpots with two nuclei, which have ap
