Ad Amicum quendam qui DocTOREM PRETTYMANNUM
Sacerdotem appellaret.

α. Ψεύδειν εχ ΙΕΡΟΝ. τι δε τον ψευδονθ' ΙΕΡΗΑ
Χρη σε καελίν ; β. ΙΕΡΕΥΣ κ' εχ ΙΕΡΟΣ λεγεται.

a. Mentiri non sacrum. Quid verò mentientem sacerdotem Oportet te vocare? b. Sacerdos & non sacer dicitur.

MADRIGALE.-By SIGNOR CAPONINI of ROME.

In quel bel dì, ch'il Dro del VERO nacque,
Per tutto il mondo tacque

Ogni Oracol mendace in ogni fano.

Così va detto, ma si è detto in vano.
Ecco, in quest' isola remota, anch'ora
L'Oracola s'adora

D'un giovinetto Febo, che a le genti
Per un suo sacerdote manda fuora
Quel, ch'ei risponde a lusingar lor menti;
In guisa, che può far chiamar verace
L'Oracolo de' Grechi più mendace.

By Dr. CORTICELLI of BOLOGNA.

Io non ho mai veduto un sì bel PRETTIMANNO,
Con un sì gran Perrucho, e d' occhi sì squintanno.

In the Language of OTAHEITE.-By M. de BOUGAINVILLE,

(With an interlined Translation, according to Capt. Coog's

In the Language of TERRA INCOGNITA (viz. AUSTRALIS).-By the noted Mr. BRUCE.

[A translation is requested by the earliest discoverer, the original being left at the publisher's for his inspection by the author, who has most kindly communicated the following representation of the genuine words, adapted to the ENGLISH type.--May we not presume to suggest the infinite service Mr. M'PHERSON Would render to his country, were he generously to embark in

* PEETIMAI is wonderfully near the original PRETTYMAN, considering that, after every effort, the inhabitants of OTAHEITE could not approximate to the name of BANKS nearer than OPANO-nor of Cook, than ToOTE.

"the first outward-bound ship for TERRA AUSTRALIS-No man in EUROPE being so well qualified for the useful station of universal linguist and decypherer to the savages "I decus, I nostrum."]

We must apologize to several of our more erudite correspondents, for suspending some short time the publication of their most curious epigrams on the Doctor. We have not the least objection to the extra expense necessarily incurred on the present occasion, by the purchase of a variety of antique types. Nay, we have actually contracted with the celebrated CASLON, for the casting of a proper quantity of the COPTIC

and RUNIC characters, in order to the due representation of the PRETTYMANIANA, communicated by Professor WHITE, and Mons. MAILLET. As it might be some time, however, before Mr. CASLON, even with the assistance of Mess. FRY and Son's foundery, can furnish us with the PERSIC, SYRIAC, and CHACHTAW types, we cannot promise the Doctor the insertion of the GENTOO REBUS or the NEW ZEALAND ACROSTIC in the present edition.
