F.R.S. OLINTHUS GREGORY, A. M. of the Royal
Military Academy, Woolwich, and Mr. NEWTON
BOSWORTH, of Cambridge, continues to be published
with the spirit, accuracy, and elegance, with which
it first commenced. The three parts already befime
the public, exhibit numerous marks of the judgment
and taste with which this elaborate and extensive
work is conducted. The objects it embraces are more
multifarious than any Encyclopaedia we have seen ;
i yet, at the same time, that it Will be confined to a
moderate size and price, the information communi- 1
, cated under the several articles is comprehensive,
1
• correct, and useful. The Treatises on Algebra and
I4.7atomv already published in the BANTOLOGIA, are
preceded by very entertaining and instructive his-
tories of those sciences ; while th treatises them•
I selves are quite complete and methodical. Among
i the separate articles, those under the words Academy,

Ali;11, A:rnlitite, Affinity, Air, Air Pump, Alarum Clock,
"aril, ~-,f .mannek, Abitude, Alum, Analysis, Angling, Ani-
mal. -Ind Anti parallel:, have attracted much notice, on
° a-- out of their curiosity and utility ; some of them
ceaiLain many particulars of a novel and interszing
• ' natty • ; and others, as the article 4n:4 -parallel:, point
c : . :loportant blunders which have been copied from
o:e Dictionary and Encyclopcedia into another for
n..arly a century. The Ones are a real ornament to
. 1 Cie work ; and those on Natural History especially,
being beautifallv coloured according to Nature, can-
not fail to gratify every person of taste in such pursuits.
