TO THE PUBLIC.

We have now fa many well written books in the Englith Lan•
page, that the Rudy of Compofititiu is become general. Blair's
Leeturca, and fun itar Works, are either too expenfive, or rife
written in fuck a Ccbulaltic manner, that they are never likely to
be fo extenlively tifeful as the (object: regeires This volume
comprege, muck in a WWI compare ; and as it contains an
traitor' of every important role in Grammar, Rhetoric, and Bug-
111k Compofiiiin, it will Cave the Reader both time and expellee.
In order to thew what is wrong, and that which is right, at one
view, the Author has given various eentraited examples, by which
errors may be very loon corroded. The Introdudtory Usy,
which thews the advantages of undaritanding eompoiltion, will
help to attain that knowledge; and the Lilt of Books, with Lir
mac, Lett be acceptable to aira itdadca•

'There Lettere. were read by the Author to his Penile at the

preferring ipecimens of Plants, taking inspretlions of them its an
expeditious and Gavle manner, and particular directions foe the
more eery attainment of Botanical knowledge. The fucceediug
Lecture contains entertaining information on the perceptibil ty of
Plants, and their companion with Animals; a curious lulled,
hitherto but little treated on. The tutees:ding Lectures trace up
the whole fcience of Botany, avoiding a frequent repetition of
technical terms, which, though in a certain degree needarr, are
far Irons captivating, and often weary the young beginner in the
purfuit of this elegant, ufeful, and entertaining fclence.
