AN EXPERIMENTAL INQUIRY into the
NATURE and PROPAGATION of HEAT.
By JOHN LESLIE.
Printed for J. Mawrnati. 18, Poultry.
• The fly le of the Author of this Work Is much fuperior to
that of Philoropkical Writers in genera). Sometimes, indeed. it
is highly animated, and evidently fi nos from a mind of lively fen-
lability to every thing fublirre cr beautiful in name, al well as of
uncommon vigour th the graver ratiocination' of fcleuce.npe-
rial Review for July.
" As our limits are already trantgreffci, we muR refer the in-
qulfitlve and phi!ofophic reader to the Volume Well for farther
gratification ; and he will find it a work which is not produced
every day, nor by au Wu:Sett of an ordinary Size. Some of its
difeuffions are rather intricate, and the Author's mathematical
• . .

mode of arguing throws over it an air of abitrufeneliT;;;The
general (cope of the rationing, the experhnents, and the refults of
the inquiries, are not above theca acity &commie underttandings
" In reviewing fuch a produ as the ?relent, we (hall not
Witt on toms little inaccuracies of Ryle which have occurred to
us; and particularly as, generally ipeaking, the compofition is
much fuperior to that of molt fcientidc details. Nor, were we
violently difpleafed oat occafionally marring with a tone rather too
arrogant, and an int:re:ice too precipitate, bccaufc we a•plaud the
freedom, the feariellnefs, and the activity of the Author's mind.
Unfettered by (yam, and unawzd by ati•linrity, he always thinks
for himfelf ; and of his opinions many are novel, and all are inte-
refting. As a whole and a fyitem, his work claims amnion ;
and the difeutruans, whether adjundltre or fuhlitliary, in the notes
or the text, are profound and original. In the dark and tortuous
pallages of his theory, although experience is his lure and canteent
guide, yet geometry holds her torch, and illumines the way."

'THE CRITICAL REVIEW, that long dia-
l- blifhol and refpcdable Publication, Is taow come into the
jtotreffion of a new Propri-tur. Set.fible of Lie arduous talk in
which be is engaged, he should tremble for (tweets, were not
his fears allayed by thr molt flattezlog confulations. It is his good
fortune to have connections at once ufeful and honentrablet with
nun, antagonised in the Metropolis for science and Literature;
and men who add fpiepdoet even to that U altriobs Univerlity, to
which he is proud to belong. Under loch aufpiccs he engages
boldly In this important undertaking ; he is infpired with the moft
fanguine hopes, he feels that he may look forward to the =pie
reward of his labours.

A Cave to no party, a bigot to no prejudicrs, he conceives him-
felf to be well fitted fur the conduct Ma Literary Journal ; and he
trolls, that the nice ellimate of ikill and labour in tht invealgo-
don of truth is aridly confident with the molt ardent attachment
to our civil and religious inftitutions. As a friend to Literature,
be will cam t every nerve to advance it ; and, as an indepetulaut
man, to whom pin is not a primary objet , he will (pare no es-
pence to gratify the pulilie attention.
To the Foreign Plibliratlong which ufually command the no-
tice of Periodical Journals, the Proprietor of the Critical Review
ventures to announce the addition of a large Rock of Spanifh and
Ponuguefe Literature ; fo far, at leak, as the prefent Rate of Eli-
. ope, unfriendly to literary communication, will permit him to
realize his hope,. This almofl new fource of modern learning will
he d6ly appreciated by perfons converfant with thole languages,
and wbo are known to admire them ewe) to cothof444l.
Tbo. connegled, aid thus eircumftanced, the Proprietor of the
Critical Review offer, his Publication to the world,boldly co:4d
:ng in ha eventual foccera, but MU not difelaining to (*licit an hi.
lalgent attention to the firlt movements of a work, which is in-
:ended to advance gradually to literary perfedloe.
