YES, yes, another's far more dear Once more my heart its misery. Since that on all can fondly dwell, No more for thee false girl I'll sigh, Or only sigh to breathe farewell. Ah! no, in every clime I rove, And many a clime the scene will vary, Should I but hear the name of love My constant heart would sigh for Mary. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Onesimus Examined, or Strictures on his Accounts of Popular Preachers. 1s PROPOSED BRITISH PUBLICATIONS. Mr. Lambert, who lately travelled through Lower Canada, and the United States, has begun to print an account of his Observations on the present State of those interesting Countries. His work will make three volumes octavo, and will be illustrated with a variety of engravings, from drawings made on the spot. Sir William Ousely, has made considerable progress in a work, which consists of the Accounts of Alexander the Great, which are to be found in Eastern writers.. A second journey through the Southern part of Spain, has been recently performed by Mr. Robert Semple; in which he visited several important places, not noticed in his former work. He is about to publish the Observations made on his second journey. The work will be embellished by a variety of plates, illustrative of the Costume and Manners of the Inhabitants of several parts of the Peninsula. Mr. Surr's new novel, named the Romance of the Times, will appear about Christmas. A work which cannot fail to prove highly interesting to lovers of the fine arts, is in considerable forwardness. It will consist of thirty engraved portraits of some of the females most distinguished at the present day for beauty, rank, and fashion. It is intended to appear in five parts, and is to be entitled, Beauties of the Reign of George III. The portraits are painted by Mrs. MEE, and will be engraved by artists of the first eminence. They will be accompanied with biographical accounts, forming together a most magnificent folio yolume. Dr. Buxton will publish An Essey on the Use of a regulated temperature in Winter Cough and Consumption; including Obserducing such a temperature in the chiamvations on the different methods of probers of invalids. Mr. Charles Bell will shortly publish Letters concerning the diseases of the Urethra, in an octavo volume, with plates. Onesimus is preparing for publication the second volume of 'The Pulpit; or a Biographical and Literary Account of eminent popular Preachers, interspersed with occasional clerical criticism. Mr. Bower, of Pallmall, intends to publish his splendid work on the Abolition of the Slave Trade. An Authentick Narrative of four years residence. Tangataboo, one of the Friendly Islands, by a gentleman who went thither in the Duff, under Capt. Wilson, in 1796, faithfully composed from his own relation, by a clergyman of the church of England, with an appendix by an eminent writer, will speedily be published. A companion to Miss Byron's Celia in Search of a Husband, will speedily appear. It is entitled, Celia Suited, and contains new sketches of modern female habits and manners. The letters of the late Miss Anna Seward are announced as in the press. They will be published in five vols, post octavo. with portraits and other plates. SELECT REVIEWS, FOR MARCH, 1810. FROM THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. The Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Percival Stockdale, containing many interesting Anecdotes of the illustrious Men with whom he was connected. Written by Himself. In 2 vols. 8vo. pp. 462-481. London. 1809. WE had proceeded but a short way in these volumes, before we found reason to felicitate ourselves on our good fortune. From the diffidence natural to a first appearance, we were solicitous to discover some golden compendium of criticism to which we might confidently trust in our perplexed and thorny progress; and such, if we may trust an author's impartial opinion of his own work, will prove the treasure before us. Our satisfaction is not a little increased by the patriotick consideration, that if unfortunately our critical labours be not destined to reach posterity, yet the manual from which we propose to enrich them, will assuredly survive, and extend its blessings to future ages. "I know," exclaims the author, "that this book will live, and escape the havock that has been made of my literary fame." Vol. I. p. 58. As our career is merely opened, and consequently the good effects of our lucubrations have scarcely yet had time to manifest themselves, we hear, with some equanimity, that "literary taste, and, therefore, literary productions, are in a declining and degenerate state." Those, however, who are more interested in the me-lancholy fact than ourselves, may derive comfort from a subsequent discovery, that "there are still some privileged and distinguished authors whose writings dart through the general fog of our literary dullness." The number of them is, indeed, but small; but, as in the valued file we find the names of Mr. Pratt, Mr. Dallas, and the earl of Carlisle, we willingly compound for its scantiness, and can scarcely forbear to chide the unjustifiable querulousness of the writer. But who is this new Stagyrite? O seri studiorum! We will, however, endeavour to delineate him; but for this purpose we must borrow the tints from his own pallet. Self knowledge has been usually described as of difficult attainment. Mr. Stockdale found it otherwise, and he begins his book with a most remarkable proof of it. " Every thing that constituted my nature, my acquirements, my habits, and my fortune, conspired to let in upon me a complete knowledge of human nature." Vol. 1. p. 2. Such, however, is the waywardness of mankind, that this invaluable acquisition, instead of ensuring universal respect, only tended, he tells us, to provoke "the most active and unrelenting malignity." p. 4. A different motive for this malignity may hereafter suggest itself. At present, we will take Mr. S. on his own word, to be, what our old acquaintance, Blas of Santillane, conceived himself at setting out on his travels, la huitième merveille du monde. It might be expected that the author's "complete knowledge of hu |
