" Very few of the Moderns have cultivated the Mule with
more Itriking fuccds t and whether we regard the vigour of his
conceptions, the appofitenefs of his metaphors, the elegance of his
expreffion, or the nerve and flow of his verfe, the author of the
Rhymes on Art need not ihritik From a comparifon with our molt
reipeetabie exiting writers."—Monthly Review, July, 18os.
" With fentiments perfeetly congenial to thole of the author,
and with the molt cordial admiration of the talents he has dif•
played in the expreffion of them, we have read this performance
of air artift, whole merits, in his own line, we have often feen with
faisfaetioll. His views are fo important, and his illuftrations of
them, both in poetry and prate, fo various and fo ingenious, that
'whatrver number of pairages we can bring forward as fpeciniens,
•we molt infallibly leave Rill more unnoticed, at leaf of equal
value and merit. It is written with an eloquence which at. once
delights and convinces; it Is genius pleading, tor truth."

Reviews of the Firft Edition of this Week.
" This work will prove highly acceptable to thole who with to
attain a pradtical acquaintance-with the fcience of which it treats
The author exhibits throughout the work a great degree of chemical
knowledge, and his method of communicating knowledge to others
is engaging. With the pradtical parts of the various'proceg sin
chemittry he lams to be well acquainted, and the accuracy and
precilion with which be defcribes then will render this work vs
'Liable not only to tyros but to proficicuts in the fcience."
Pbilcifoph Mag.
" We think this work, as an elementary treatife, highly valuable.
It is clear, explicit, and comprebenfive. The different properties of
bodies are detailed with perfpicuity.and fupported.by eafy appofite
experiments. The particular deferiptiona are preceded by a clear
account of the nature of chemical anion, and the fadts that do-•
monftrato the attradtloo and repulfion of bodies."
Critical Review, vol. xxxii. p. 180.

This work is drawn up for the ufe of fuel; as are unacquainted
with chemical fcience, and will doubtlefs prove acceptable to the
numerous cultivators of the Icience of chcmittry."

Tritiminials in fivour of this Work :

el We have no hefitation in raying that this work cannot fail to
provei extremely ufefuL The fir( Volume, in particular, is exe-
cuted in a manner highly creditable to the judgment and abilities
of the author, who has rendered an effential fervice to his coon try
•by its publication. Should the work meet with that reception
which it merits from the public, we have no doubt but a new edi-
tion will foon be demanded "—Phi!. Mag. No 95.
" On the whole we regard the prefect as a ufeful and refpeela.
ble Treatife. We have been much entertained and inftrueted by
the (econd volume ; though we can do little more than Rate in ge-
neral terms, that the defcriptions, in general, are full and fatisfac-
tory,—This part of the Mechanics-we confider to be-highly ufe-
ful ; and, indeed, there does not now occur to our minds any Eng-
Hill work of the fame plan and extent.—The plates are neatly ci
ecuted, and by a very judicious arrangement placed by themfelves
in a feparate.volume—.Critical Review, May sBO6.
" Though theft volumes pre of the Ott.ll/0 fine, yet as the type
is fmall, and tht page Ml, they contain a vaft quantity of mate-
rials."

" As an elementary work this Treatife on Mechanics is by far
preferable to any other work extant, at leaft in the &ghat -law
suite. The ftyle is perfpieuous, the arrangement of materials is
in very few places fufceptible of improvement : the information
it contains Is extenftve, and the plates are elegant; we do not there-
fore !irritate to recommend it to the attention of the fcicntific
world."—Britifis Critic, Auguft i 306.

trivances, from original Drawings, as wallas of the more rare and '
curious Plante employed in the way of Dimmest and Variety in
the Pleafure Grounds, Green Houfea apd Stares ; by
ALEXANDER MACDONALD, Wakeman', and Gardener.
We have looked over this Work with the &mutt Attention,
and are enabled to fay, that the Author has not, in his Preface,
over-rated its Merits. It contains all the information that
can be required, refpedting the Kitchen and Flower Gardens,
Shrubbery and Pleafure Grounds, Hot-Houfes, Green-Houfes,
and Melon Pits ; and all the belt and molt approved Writers on
the &hied, have been .diligently confulted, and the moil ufeful
a-ts of their produdtions carefully extradted.. In a word, the
Author has great merit for the indultry and judgment which he
has difpiay din his compilation, as well as for the pradical (kill
which he has manifelted, in the compofitioo of many of the arti-
cles. The Engraveh have done juilice to the Plates, which ire.
executed with neatnefs and accuracy. The colouring of the Plates.
too, which is a mutter
-of no (mall importance, in fubjedts of Na-
coral Hiftory, is in general vet* good, and, with a fewexceptions,
they are highly creditablt.to the Artilt. Upon the whole. we :re-
commend this Wo-k, as containing a great body of ukful infor-
mation, on the fubjed of Horticulture, in all its branches perfpi-
euoufly arranged." Anti Jacobin Review, Feb. 3807.
