-The Monthly Reviewers, after having spoken of the want
of such a-Work as the present, proceed to State their opinion
of its merits as follows :

.6 Fortunaply for tlie Public, this task has devolved on
Gentleman,, whose tiadilts and opportunities eminently qua-
lify hitn for.discharging it with fidelity and reputation. 'r he
high expedations with woich we sat down to his th;oli.,, have
not been disappointed ; and we aics cilabldil to commend
equally the propriety of the Plan, and the sliqgencra of the
EXCCUtiOII. Accuracy of Fainting, and perspicuity or fix..
pressioo, distinguish the present Destulpturns •trOM those
of many of the Author's predecessors. The "canthiti r, judge-
nient, and discrimination with which he has selected hi 6
Materials ;-,thci diffidence' with which he :reiarrds doubtful
allegations ; the temper with which lie...prosecutes his in-
quiries, removed alike from scepticism and Credulity ; h la-ap.
parent freedom from pre-conceived opinions ; his ituiform asst
respectful intiniations.of. the °sources whom: he derives his
Materials ; and the singular felicity ith which he has adapt-
ed the tetwour onfts Writings to the Disciple of Lion& and
the common Reader, all entitle him to very singular praise.
With regard to the Typography and Engravings of tfiiii Work,
we are happy in informing our treaders, that they Ale exc.
cuted in a manner which is suitable to its solid tri“hs.

In the following Letter :
To Mr. KE ARSL EY, Bookseller, Flect.street.

SLR,
In Answer to your It equeAt. to examine and give you an
Opinion of a Work, entitled " Philosophical and Mathema-
tical Amusements, eic." being a Translation from the French
of Despiau, with Additions and Improvements, 1 have no
hesitation indeclaring my opinion, that it is a very curious
ind ingenious Work, Lomprising a great deal of useful Matter
in a small Compass, and 'well adapted for communicating the
Knowledge of a great variety Of interesting Particulars, in a
manner at once familiar, clear. and amusing To young Per-
sons especially, and in Schools, this Work must prove pe-
culiarly useful.

I am, Sir, yours, Sec.-
rTON.
