prove an acceptable companion to whoever fhall hereafter purfe the fame track. There are in various parts of the Carribean fea, a number of small iflands and rocks, which render the navigation difficult and dangerous. Thefe are carefully pointed out, but they would have appeared much more effectually, if the narrative had been accompanied with a fmall chart, however slightly ex. ecuted. The journal has the merit certainly of being perfpicu. oufly and carefully written. The author, after spending a thort time at Curaçoa, which he agreeably defcribes, embarked for Guayna, and thence proceeded to the Caracas, and the other places fpecified in the title page of his book. Our knowledge of all thefe is fo very imperfect, that even the concife account which is here given may be confidered as of no contemptible importance. The population of Caracas is far greater than we imagined, and is reprefented by this author to exceed forty thousand. The women are here faid to retain the Spanish character and coftume with hardly any alteration. We have altogether been much amufed with this publication.

ART. 39. On Marriage; its Obligations and Forms, as a Divine Ordinance and a Human Inftitution. By the late Mayor of Petersfield. 8vo. Is. 6d. Hatchard. 1812.

The Mayor of Petersfield is rather a whimsical defignation, and the Mayor's book demonftrates a little eccentricity, but, it is impoffible to deny his Worship the praife of good intention. He is of opinion, that Polygamy may not be altogether improper even in the colder regions of the north, under certain cir cumftances; for example, if a married man fhall feduce a virgin, fhe fhall become his during life for protection and maintenance. Many of the author's fentiments are in unifon with those of the celebrated author of Thelypthora, but feveral of his obfervations on the subject of proftitates, are well deferving of confideration.

ART. 40. Pratique de l'Orateur François, ou choix de Pièces d'Elo quence, tirées des meilleurs Poëtes et Profateurs de la Langue Fran! Goife. Formant un cours de Rhétorique Pratique, a l'Ufage de la Jeuneffe Anglife qui cultive cette Langue. Ouvrage divisé en trois Parties, précédé d'un Essai fur l'Action Oratoire. Par M. Lenoir, Auteur des Syllabaires Logographiques et Emblématiques François et Anglois; des Faftes Britanniques, et de plufieurs autres Ouvrages eftimés, et Profeffeur de Belles-Lettres et de Déclama. tion Françoife. Quatrième Edition, Revue, corrigée, et aug mentée de plufieurs Pièces, dont quelques-unes n'ont encore jamais été confiées à l'Impreffion. 12mo. 456 pp. Boofey, &c.

1812.

The repeated editions of School Books cannot properly require repeated notice. We spoke of this book in our 21ft vol. p. 691,

nor

hor Chould we now have mentioned it again, had we not seen it expreffed in the title page, that it contains fome pieces not pub. lifhed before. Thefe, however, for want of fomething like an in dex, or table of contents, are not eafy to be found. One we think occurs at p. 93, being an Ode on the Resistance of Spain to the French, dedicated "par confentement spécial" to Louis XVIII. by Mr, Lenoir. Other temporary Odes follow, bearing the fame fignature. We have before had occafion to remark, that Mr. Lenoir appears to us to be no contemptible Poet. Of course we have here many extracts from the "Fates Britanniques." The Pratique de l'Orateur is certainly an feful compilation of the kind.
