"To reduce fuch a body of information within fo fmall a compass, and in an order fo convenient, required fkill and pains by which a much more oftentatious work might well have been executed. We have in English no compend of Zoology that, for accuracy and utility, can afpire to comparison with this one. By the contrivance of the author, or compiler, it combines all the advantages of a Fauna Britannica with thofe of a compend of the ge neral history of living animals. It joins much of the general Philo fophy of Natural Hiftory with the orderly detail of fo many of the minuter facts belonging to the feience. Its flyle has the fimplicity, the precision, the correctnefs which we should chiefly defire in a work like this. We are aftonished that the author fhould have been able to defcend, in a work of this fize, to the enumeration of fo many fpecies, and to enter into fuch a detail of the manners of the different animals which he defcribes. If he has freely availed himself of the information furnished by other writers, he has used

with a masterly hand whatever he had occafion to borrow. With fuch a manual, the Student of Zoology may make more rapid progrefs, than by any other means which we can point out to him.” -Antijacobin Review for July 1802.

FERGUSON's LECTURES on SELECT SUBJECTS, in MECHANICS, HYDROSTATICS, HYDRAULICS, PNEUMATICS, OPTICS, GEOGRAPHY, ASTRONOMY, and DIALING, with Notes and an Appendix, adapted to the present state of the Arts and Sciences, by David Brewster, A. M. in 2 volumes 8vo, with a 4to volume of Plates.-Price 11. Is. in boards.

The Author of the Lectures, of which a corrected and enlarged Edition is now offered to the Public, has obtained a deferved reputation for compofing familiar treatifes on Philofophical and Mechanical topics, in a manly, though artless e. This improved Edition of one of his moft efteemed performances, is undertaken by a gentleman, who, to Ferguson's talents, for plain distinct defcription, has added fuch a competent fhare of Mathematical acquirements, as is likely to keep him from erroneous principles or inaccurate refults."

Mr. Brewster's Appendix contains much ufeful information under the different heads of Mechanics, Hydraulics, Optics, Dialing, and Aftronomy. Nearly one hundred pages are devoted to the fubject of Water-mills and Wind-mills, in which many of Mr. Brewer's rules and obfervations cannot fail to be beneficial to the Mill-wright.

There are three articles in this Appendix which it would be unjust not to mention with commendation: they treat of the Steam Engine, the method of grinding and polishing Lenfes, and the method of cafting, grinding, and polishing the mirrors of Reflecting Telefcopes. The defcription of Watt's Steam Engine, though concife, is very perfpicuous: the engraved reprefentation of this Steam Engine, with the latest improvements, will be found highly ufeful, and conveys a better idea of the Engine as a whole, than any thing we have yet met with.

Altogether this work may be fafely recommended as prefenting many judicious and useful additions to a book of established reputation."-Literary Journal, March 1806.
