ART. XIX. Hygrologie, ou Exposé Chimico-physiologique, &c. i. e. Hygrology, or a Chemico-physiological Explanation of the Fluids contained in the Human Body. By JOSEPH JAMES PLENCK. Translated from the Latin by Felix Pitt, Student of Medicine. 8vo. pp. 170. Paris. 1800. Imported by Dulau and Co. London. Price 38.
s we have already given some account of the English translation of this work, by Dr. Hooper, we have only to announce this French Version, and to say that it is well performed. Translations of Plenck's other works are promised by Mr. Pitt. The bearer of a name so inauspicious in France must have had peculiar good fortune in escaping proscription.
An accident having interrupted the continuation of our account of the Memoirs of the National Institute, at Paris, we propose to renew it in an early number of the Review.
