curate but not dittitse, divested elf all superfluous :natter.

the teirious branches of human knowledge, has long been a
most desirable (Aita to the Eitglisieneader.

and hoed' a eater extent,, have been published in fOreign
Countries. The retrenchment also of many superfluous and
useless arrieles, which have latterly found their way into
Rooks of this dese.ription, will evidently cause a considerable
reituetion .in point of size, without in reality impairing the
intrinsic value and general utility of the Work.

" The Poem on Ilispaniola is written in Stanzas of six
lines, and opens with a description of the Climate so charac-
teristic, than the ideas most probably have been imbibed on
the spot. Few Readers can require to be told that there is
much genuine Poetry and originality in these Stanzas, The
Notes, from Edward's • History of the West Indies, and other
Documents, properly illustrate the Poem. .The Poems that
follow breathe an animated strain of Piety, except that on
the Marriage of a Statuary, which has merit of a lighter
kind. The Stanzas concluding each with "My Father,"
arc no bad inniatiou of Cowper's delightful " My Mary;"
but Mr. Whitchur‘h can flio better than imitate,"--British

THE following instance of their uncommon effi-

Madam, Plymouth Dock, Od. to, oios,
So much benefit I have received from -a Medicine called
Wli,LCll's FISNIALE pu.Ls,' of which, by the bill, I
understand yott.to be the. Preprietor, that 1 ant induced, in
gratitnito for toy rs.•couery, an Ittott a &WC Of serving, those
who are similarly :laded, to state the patticui.irs of my
Case, wallet* you an. at WAX) to 111.ikO,t$ public as is .terte-
able to yourself.
' I am now near twenty years of age, and for the last
tine years have been scarcely three days flee how ill,
nets, which to describe particularly might be uoiinriortant
and improper ; but, to speak getterelly, I was afflicted with
a continued shortness of breath, aceompanied by palpitation
of the heart my appetite, was generally very. much reduced,
but now and then greedy to excess ; my countenance from
being rosy, became of a paha lividness, and those periodical
discharges to which we are subjed were now trifling rind
irregular, in this state, a burthen to myself and friends, I
had recourse to every means prescribed OA the Faculty, or
recornmereled by my t ;lends, to obtain a restoration of health,
but without success. At length W BLCI-Ps MAL?.
PILLS were mentioned by a Lady who happened to be on a
visit at our house, to have been of material service to a rela-
tion of her's in a similar situation, and who then continued
to take them with every proSpctt of a•Complete restoratiou'of
her former beeltit.- On this representation, 1 immediately
sent far a couple Boxes, and by the time I had taken them,
agreeably to the direetions, I found my tanner syniptems of
111 health materially to abate, and now I am takiog the fourth
Box,. with every prospect- of a complete restoration by the
time it is empty. I therefore, with heartfelt satistitetion,
acknewledge myself, Madam, much your debtor, and am,
Your most obedient Servant,
