From the MONTHLY REVIEW.
This is an nfe^l and judicious performance. ^ We
have met with nothing ^s well calculated to reach inac
curate writers to write better ; and we therefore re om
mend it, not without hopes that it will lave us both
trouble and d fguft.
The C RI. ICAL REVIE W, in giving the
\ character of thi^ Perform nce, concludes with the f Blow
ing words: ' Tbe!e %re obfervarion: by which the g r ea -
6 est writer may p^fit ; and Mr, Buchanan has given us
6 several just animidv<rfions upon the woks of our meft
' celebrated authors; fir which, where they now alive,
* they certainly would or ought to thank him. Corrc&-
' nefi is not always the chara&riftic of a gre^t gen'ur,
