likewise translated the fourteenth Satire of Juvenal, and was author of a comedy entitled, The Husband his own Cuckold.

The death of the author, which happened at Rome a few months after making this voyage, might be the cause why the account of it was not fooner committed to the press. But the editor informs us that he was assured by the gentleman of whom he obtained the manufcript, that he received it from a particular friend into whose hands it had fallen among other effects of a gentleman to whom he was executor.

As there is an interval of more than seventy years between the performance of this voyage and Mr. Brydone's Tour, and as feveral of the objects and observations of the travellers are also different, the present narrative may lay claim to the attention even of those readers who have perused the other work.

45. A Narrative of Facts leading to the Trials of Maha Rajah Nundocomar, and Thomas Fowke, &c. 410. 2s. Bew.

We are here presented with some anecdotes relative to the trials of the delinquents; accompanied with the addresses of the grand jury of Calcutta to the judges of the fupreme court of judicature; together with their lordship's answers, and fome remarks on the trade of Bengal.

46. The Trial of Joseph Fowke, Francis Fowke, Maha Rajah Nundocomar, and Roy Rada Churn for a Conspiracy against Warren Hastings, Esq. and that of Joseph Fowke, Maha Rajah Nundocomar, and Roy, Rada Churn for a Conspiracy against Richard Barwell, Esq. 410. 10s. 6d. Cadell.

As it may be presumed that criminal trials in the East Indies cannot much excite the attention of the generality of our readers, it is sufficient to observe that the depositions concerning a conspiracy are extremely explicit; the several trials appear to be copied with accuracy and minuteness: and the examination into the claim of Roy Rada Churn to the privilege of an ambassador, affords convincing proof, not only of the regard to equity manifested by our judges in that part of the British empire, but likewise of their abilities and judicial learning.

47. Young James, or the Sage and Atheist. An English Story from the French of M. de Voltaire. 8vo. 1s. 6d. Murray.

The title given by the author to this production was "The History of Jenny, a young Englishman." But as this misnomer would have appeared abfurd to the English reader, the tranflator has taken the liberty of substituting the name of James, as what approaches nearest to the original. The date of the history is placed in the reign of queen Anne.

The most effential part of this performance is a dialogue on atheifm, maintained between James's father, who is called Dr. Friend, and Mr. Burton the intimate and dissolute companion of the young adventurer. The argument is managed on each fide with ability, and with the zeal of opponents who are tenacious of their principles. A length, however, Bur

ton

ton' is fully convinced by Dr. Friend of the existence of a Sui preme Being, who is infinitely wife, good, and powerful; and this event is accompanied by the conviction of all who were pre

fent at the debate.

This production is written with the fame vivacity which diftinguishes the other works of the celebrated author, and contains the strongest proof of his disavowing those principles that he had been supposed to entertain.

48. An Asylum for Fugitives. No. II. Small 8vo. Is. Almon, In our last Review we noticed the first number of this publication, and observed that the poetical pieces which the editor had collected were not unworthy of being preserved from oblivion; but we cannot apply this eulogy to the Number now before us. This part of the Afylum is almost entirely appropriated to fugitives of the patriotic kind; many of which are hardly entitled to a place in any well conducted receptacle of ingenious productions.

49. The Cafe and diftreffed Situation of the Widows of the Officers of the Navy, explained. 8vo. 15. Ridley.

We fincerely sympathize with those distressed widows, whose fituation is pathetically described by captain Thompson, the author of the present letter; and earnestly with that, through the representation of this benevolent gentleman, their fufferings may be alleviated.

50. The Royal Golden Instructor for Youth throughout the British Dominions. By D. Farroe, M. D. 12mo. Is. 6d. Rivington.

Had this production been entitled the Leaden instead of the Golden Instructor, the name would have been much more fuitable, in the metaphorical sense, to its merit.

51. A Series of Letters, which were interchanged between Some Governors of the two great Hospitals of this City, and Mr. Gardiner of Richmond. 8vo. 6d. Keith.

Relative to a gift from the author, of two freehold houses to St. Thomas's hospital, and his tender of 2000l. to St Bartholomew's, on certain conditions. Such, it seems, is the fubject of the pamphlet; but we must confess that Mr. Gardiner'> meaning is quite above our comprehenfion.

52. Memoirs of an unfortunate Qugen. 12mo. 35. Bew. A fictitious production, comprising various detached subjects, but written in a tolerable style.

53. A Letter to the Liverymen of London. 8vo. 15. Bladon. An invidious attempt to influence the liverymen of London against Mr. Hopkins, the present chamberlain of the city, and induce them to elect his meritorious competitor.

The Letter from a Correspondent, relating to the Calculation of the Allog and fine Gold in the current Cain, is under Confideration.-An Old Englishman's request will be complied with in our next Number: Dr. Shebbear's Answer to Dr. Price, which is too elaborate to ad. mit a hafty Investigation, and another Pamphlet on the same Subject, just come to our Hands, will appear at the Same Time.
