As it is impresible to express, in the limits of as Advertisement,
the various Topics which a Newspaper ought to embrace, and
which it is intended the PaotNIK shall comprise, the Editor
will simply express his hope that the Public, who are well ac-
quainted with his former Productions, will examine the merits
of this New Undertaking, which is the first attempt that has been
made to combine in a Weekly Newspaper, a condensation of all
Political Occurrences, with a Series of Original Articles on Polite
and General Literature, the Sciences; and the Arts. It will be
the endeavour of the Editor to rescue he Weekly Press front that
degraded state into which is has in most cases fallen, through the
indolence, the incapacity. and the =mance of mercenary Com-
pilers; and to render 'rue PHOZNIK a Vehicle both of Informa-
tion and Ampsement to every description of Readers in the

to his Britannic Majesty, and Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Gottingen.
In this work, which bas justly obtained a place among the
classical productions of Germain Literature, the Author not only
describes the state of the Sex in ancient and modern times among
the principal nations of the Globe, but investigates the causes and
consequences of its virtues and vices, and of its influence upon the
morals of society in general, both in private life and public affairs.
It abounds throughout with curious anecdotes and interesting in-
formation, and may truly be deemed a valuable acquisition to
English Literature.
