I'HE EPICS of the TON ; or, Glories of the
Great. World. A Poem, with Notes.
London : Printed fur C. and R. Baldwin, New Bridge-street.
•„• The Portraits, in general, seem copied from the Life, and
though they are embellished with poetic Flowers of various hues,
they appear very seldom to deviate from Nature and Truth. The
whole may be regarded as a sort of historic gallery of Portraits of
contemporary persons of both sexes, on which we gaze with vivid
satisfaction. The Author favours us only with the initials
of their names; but the characters are so correctly drawn, and so
much like the life, thst no mistake can well occur in the applies-
tion.,—Critical Review, August.
The Female Book is a picture gallery, in which the portraits of
number of ladies, highly distinguished in the annals of fashion, are
exhibited. They are drawn to the life, by the' hand of a Master,
And are arranged with singular taste.—Anti-Jacobin Rev. Aug.

land, in 1 vol. 12mo. price 7s. in boards,
" The Ingenuousness of the Author secures to him the confi-

of his style, and the liberality and good sense which distinguish
bis remarks, render the perusal of his work highly gratifying.—
We render this little volume very moderate justice when we state
that it exceeds in interest and in value many larger works penned

And Professor of Mathemat'Wics in the Royal Military Academy,
oolwich.
Mathematical truth, naked and unadorned, possesses dorms in
the eyes of only the select : to allure many votaries, it avast be
,
I decked out with embellishments, must inflame curiosity by half
veiling and half exposing its mysteries and secrets, and must rouse
ambition and vanity by the promise ofknowledge and power. Fee
this end, few Books ate better calculated than the volumes Defoe,
us c the ample title page of which suaciently announces their con-
tents, and not unfairly indicates their merit. They teach mach
with bate trouble, and little formality : they require no continued
strain of attention and study ; and they endeavour to arrange even
the most simple truths under the most pleming forms.
