to have been founded on fame well known fact, and it is greatly to be apprehended that the example has not been limited to one atrocious robbery and perhaps murder. This is a well written little book, and calculated to do good among the young people in the middle claffes of life.

ART. 33. Beauties of Dr. Robertfon, containing the most promi nent and interesting Paffages in the Works of that illuftrious Hiftarian, being the Lives and Characters of the principal Perfonages, together with the most memorable Events, delineated by him in his Hiftories of Scotland, of Charles V. and of America. To which is prefixed, an Account of the Life and Writings of the Author. I 2mo. 5s. Longman. 1810.

We are not fo informed in the title-page, but it may be pre. fumed that this felection, which is entirely confined to biogra phical sketches, was intended as a fort of exercise book for the higher claffes in fchools. All indeed may perufe it with fatis. faction, but it feems exceedingly well adapted to the abovementioned purpose. The account of the life and writings of Dr. Ro bertfon is drawn up with neatnefs and perfpicuity, and the book exhibits a very pleafing fpecimen of modern typography, being remarkably well printed."

If this attempt shall answer, the author may perhaps find it expedient to extend his plan to Afia and the other quarters of the globe.

ART. 35. Relation of the Operations and Battles of the Austrian and French Armies in the year 1809, with three Plans. By W. Müller, Lieutenant of the King's German Engineers. 8vo. 6s. Goddard. 1810.

It is both melancholy and affecting to read thefe circumftantial details of unavailing bravery and flaughter, and of battles in which the blood of thousands upon thousands feems to have been wafted for no other purpofe than to confirm the most abominable tyranny that ever oppreffed mankind. The fanguinary contefts of Wagram, and of Afpern, are here defcribed by an intelligent officer, and if not ftrictly intelligible to the common reader, muft be highly interesting to thofe of the military order, and all muft admire
