VOLTAIRE'S PHILOSOPHICAL DlCTioroir.
IT is a remarkable ciretwastanee,, while so many of the
11, (Prior productions of Voltaire have been given to the
English reader in numerous editions, and among them even
those dramas and poems which lose their charaeteristic merit
in translation,—that a work of suet high talent, such .abun-
dant wit, such delightful variety of amusement, and so pros.
liarly adapted to the author's powers. as the Philosophical
Dictionary, should never have adorned the literature of the
Engiish language. For we cannot admit that a meagre sail
UI selected abridgement, containing not a Tenth Part of the
original, forms any exception to the remark.
The present Work is intended to supply this defictenCy by
en entire Translation of the Volumes which are .to popular in
France and throughout the Continent under the title of the
PHILOSOPHICAL DICTIONARY. It "will be neatly printed in
foolscap octavo, and is calculated to term six Volumes. One
Volume will appear every two mouths, containing shout 4MI

embellished with a Head of Voltaire and a Vignette after Sto.
%herd, will be published in the course of this month.
The namei of Subscribers will be'received by all respect

-(BRrORL. CHIRP JUSTICR ABBOTT )
LIABILITY OF COACH PROPRIETORS.
MARSH V. HORN.

The Plaintiff, a silk merchant, at Bath, brought this
action against the proprietor of a coach, called the " Night
Regulator," to recover the value of a parcel, alleged
to have been lost or stolen out of the said coach,
in consequence of the negligence of the Defendant's
servants.

It appeared that Mr, Marsh bad purchased. silk of a
manufacturer in Spital Eields, which on the 231 of January
last, was taken in two parcels to the Cross Keys, Wood
Street, for conveyance to the Plaintiff at Bath. When the
coach reached itiewbury, it app. ared that one of the par-
cels bad been stolen, and as the Defendant would not be
answerable, the present action was brought.
The defence was, that the parcel had not been paid for,
as being above the value of 5!., and consequently that the
Defendant acting upon a notice in his Coach Office, was
not liable.

The Jury, in answer toquestions left for their considera-
tion by the divine. said they were of opinion the Defend•
ant had made himself liable for the loss, and that the risk
was, not more than a common risk.
They were then directed to find a verdict for the
Plaintiff.
The verdict was ucordingly given for the Plaintiff;—Ds.
wages 1341. lbs. —Costs. 40s.
