To which are prefixed, a history of the language, and an English grammar. By Samuel Johnson, LL.D. To which will be added, the pronunciation of Walker. In four volumes, royal octavo.

It will be delivered to subscri bers in four half volumes, containing up in boards, at $2, 25 to be paid on upwards of 500 pages each, neatly done delivery. It will be executed on a new and handsome type and good paper, and put to press when 800 are subscribed for. Gentlemen, holding subscription papers are particularly requested to re turn the number subscribed thereon to the publishers the 1st of next January Samuel Mackay, A. M. Professor of the French language in Boston, proposes to publish by subscription, a Chronolo gical Abridgement of the French Re volution, from the Year 1787 to the Year 1792, including the most astonish ing events, which distinguish that me morable era: to serve as an introduction to a subsequent uninterrupted his torical correspondence, of about 1500 original letters, written by men of talents, rank, reputation, and honour which will complete a full History of France, from that period, and without chasm, to the peace with Austria, after, the battle of Austerlitz. This publica tion will comprise four volumes, 8vo. of 500 pages each. The price $2,50 a volume, in boards, and payment on delivery. The compiler says, The cor respondence is carried on by men attached to different parties, and affords an opportunity to draw impartial conclusions. The compiler and translator has received undoubted assurances, that he will be supplied, from time to time, with future vouchers from the same source, which will enable him to bring down the work to the epoch of a gene autoral peace in Europe. He is indebted Shakespeare's Miscellaneous Poems, with a Life of the author. 12mo. Boston, Oliver & Munroe. C. & A. Conrad & Co. of Philadel, phia have in the press the following works Carr's Journey through Holland in the autumn of 1806. The Modern Ship of Fools. Town and Country, a Comedy by to Colonel Amelot de Lacroix, a distin. guished officer in the French service, for the precious documents which may render this publication useful and instructive. An attachment to General Moreau forced that officer to our happy shores. This history of the French revolution to the present time, is worthy the attention of reflecting minds. It will afford alike a lesson to monarchs, courtiers, republicks, and future ages. It will blaze forth the destroy. ing eruption of long restrained passions, and show their baneful effects on the social order of distracted Europe. The most secret machinations of the disturbers of publick repose will be exposed to light. The deep plots of the cabinet of Versailles, and of the republicans, will be unravelled. The sanguinary deeds of the jacobins, and the excesses of an uncontrolled multitude, will be exhibited in all their hideous forms. The names and characters of the principal actors of the horrid scenes will be handed to posterity, The gloom will occasionally be dispelled, by some solitary traits of greatness, generosity, courage, zeal, patriotism, probity, and of an insuperable love of glory, so peculiar to the French nation.The volatile and singular anecdotes, affecting episodes, witty epigrams, interspersed in the correspondence, will occasionall smooth the reayder's brow, and relieve him from the dark reflections, inseparable from the subject of this awful revolution. The compiler will probe the sources of disaffection among the army. This will introduce military reflections, and lead to an account of French modern tacticks. The inconsiderate man of genius, and the sage of profound meditation will be contrasted; and the thick veil of hypocrisy, which covered the insidious views of the principal actors in this tragick drama, will be rent without mercy. The work will exhi. bit a true account of the various wars, and the consequent campaigns, battles, sieges, defeats, and their causes. It will make known the peculiar character of the French officers and soldiers, compare the martial talents of that nation, with those of their enemies, and account for the different revolutions at home and in the colonies. It will take a cursory survey of the naval resources of that empire, of the talents of place. en and politicians truth will guide 000 pouhs, o zot goittiten! every inquiry, and those who detest flattery will confess, that, in all coun tries, men may be found, honest and bold enough to investigate and publish it. The necessary documents to com plete the work, as far as the battle of Austerlitz, are now in the hands of the compiler and translator. The letters are written by men, whose honour and veracity are undoubted; and they have been collected with much care by Col. de Lacroix, one of the correspondents, to whose perseverance and diligence this valuable and correct collection owes its entire preservation, and chro nological arrangement. er noribe Poems on various subjects.

In 1801, another impression of the proposals, &c. was published; in which the compiler pledges himself to give up all the emoluments to the benefit of two distinct funds in England and the United States of North America; the subscriptions in England to be applied to the use of the incorporated society for the propagation of the gospel in for States to the purchase of books for the benefit of a publick library in the new Federal City, or univer It will be recollected by many of the readers of the Anthology, that r the Rev. Arthur Homer, D.D. and Fellow of St. Mary Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1799 dispersed a folio sheet of proposals for print ing by subscription a new work, intituled Bibliotheca Universalis Americana; or, an universal American library containing a general catalogue of publications, relating to America and the Westeign parts; those in the United Indies, from the first discovery thereof by Columbus in 1492, to the end of the present century." The work was to consist of twosity intended to be established withquarto volumes: the price to sub1scribers two guineas, in boards, to be paid when the whole is completed; and to be dedicated to Gen. Wa Washington. Several improved impressions of the proposals and 2. prospectus were circulated in 1799, to which was annexed a numerous and respectable list of subscribers. Upon the death of Washington, a necessary change in the intended dedication' took place; and, in 1800, a new impression of the proposals, &c. was published, in which was the following paragraph: The dedication will be addressed, by particular permission, to the right reverend Dr. Watson, bishop of Landaff, the learned and pious author of the Apology for the Bible, as a sincere token of the editor's esteem for his lordship's defence of every thing most dear and valuable to man, in answer to the impious and heretical opinions of a person, whose works he shall necessarily have occasion to record, From this new impression it appears, that the liberal and indefatigable author, who had in contemplation a scheme of personally visiting the continent of America, for the sake of obtaining more full and effectual information on the subject, was become a correspond ing member of the Massachusetts 7 in the limits of the district of Co- The 1 ed, were taken at an advanced period of his life, when his sight was very much impaired: a picture of this great man, painted by the late Mr. Barry, is now engraving by Mr. Anker Smith, and will be published by Mr. Manson.
