" Mr. Matimle has 'rendered his author in an easy and yet
correct strain of versification:"
,
And after, several. gpeeintens, the l.e'viewer then prOceeds
to. state, that
" It must undoubtedly beseen from these specimens, that
this-translation is a'spirited and rnoritorious -Work, and such
as the English reader will peruse with pleasure and advan-
tage. "
British Critic, 06tober, iSca.

" The translatiorfof this Poem is, upon the whole, hap-
pily executed ; it adheres. with snflicient fidelity to its text,
and generally evinces an equal, degree of ease."
Crit. IteVieW, Sept. 1801.
" As the plan of this elegant poem has already been de-
tailed in our anai ysis, Of the Original, we have now only to
consider the translation ; and on'this point we must inform
our readers that the numbers are, in general, flowing ; that
the Poet's thoughts arc not often inaccurately rendered i and
that, though the elegance of expression .cannot he expelled
to equal that of a bard so renowned for harmony of cuinpo-
.sition, yet this :version wilt convey to the • English reader
many of his beauties, and a satisfadory general idea of the
whole work."

good Works on Astronomy, proceeds thus- :
" As Professor Vince's work is too bulky and expensive
for the great mass of the Public, it gives

that.a Gentleman so well qualified for the task as NIL 'Gre-
gory seems to be, has turned his attention to this deficiency,
and supplied the Public with a comprehensive, clear, and
well-arranged Elementary Treatise on this noble and useful
Science. We have no hesitation in- saying, that we consider
it as the best pr. ttical Work on the subjcd published since
the time of Leadbetter The Anti-lees rules are simple and
easy,-and the whole: rendered so,familiar, by a variety of ex-
amples, that any person initizited 'in the principles of the
Mathematical Sciences must readily comprehend them. It
Will be of great utility to, young persons in particular who
are studying Astronomy ; and those who have made consi-
derable proficiency will tind it exceedingly convenient to re-
fer to. The Author has omitted none of the Modern Disco.
