"Ex nova typographia in ædibus authoris editioni ejusdem bibliotheca destinata." It is unfortunate that no more of this important work was published. It is probable that not many copies were printed of this volume, as it is not often met with.

37 PLANTARUM AMERICARUM: Fascic. X. Continens plantas quas olim Carolus Plumierius, botanicorum princeps detexit, eruitque, atque in Insulis Antillis ipse depinxit. Has primum in lucem edidit, concinnis descriptionibus et observationibus. Eneisque tabulis illustravit Joannes Burmannus, M. D. &c. Folio. pp. 262. 262 plates. Amsterdam.

"These plates are executed with tolerable, but by no means infallible accuracy, being far inferior in neatness and correctness to what Plumier himself published. The well-meaning editor has overloaded the book with descriptions of his own, necessarily made from the figures, and therefore entirely superfluous. They are indeed not unfrequently founded in misapprehension; nor has he been very bappy in the adaptation of his materials to Linnæan names and principles." Sir J. E. Smith.

I A FAIR REPRESENTATION of his Majesty's right to Nova Scotia, or Acadie. Briefly stated from the memorials of the English commissaries; with an answer to the objections contained in the French memorials, and in a treatise entitled Discussion sommaire sur les anciennes limites de l'Acadie. London.

8vo. pp. 64.

The French commissaries having, besides their voluminous mémoires, pub-
lished a pamphlet, "in order to prejudice all the courts of Europe in
favour of their unjustifiable pretensions," the English commissaries
thought proper, "to obviate the wrong impressions that these might
create, briefly to recapitulate what had been offered in support of H.M.'s
claim, collected from the English memorials.

2 ALL THE MEMORIALS of the courts of Great Britain and France,
since the peace of Aix la Chapelle, relative to the limits of
the territories of both crowns in North America, and the right
to the neutral islands in the West Indies. To which are an-
nexed, two maps, one delineating the right of Great Britain,
and the other the claim of France. The French memorials
are translated, and the whole is printed in English.

With an account of the shocking inhumanities committed by incursions of the Indians upon the province, in October and November; which occasioned a body of the inhabitants to come down, while the Assembly were sitting, and to insist upon an immediate suspension of all disputes, and the passing of a law for the defence of the country. Interspersed with several interesting anecdotes and original papers, relating to the politics and principles of the people called Quakers: being a sequel to a late well-known pamphlet entitled A brief state of Pennsylvania.

"This second part is employed in refuting a letter published in the New York Mercury of January 5, 1756, containing objections to those parts of Evans's general map and analysis which relate to the French title to the country on the N. W. side of St. Laurence river, &c. To which our author replies with the appearance of much solidity of argument, as well as honesty of intention. He was certainly a sensible man, a good geographer, (so far at least as concerns that part of the world he treats of,) and a true friend to his country: so that his death may justly be deemed a public loss." M. R. xv. p. 312.

HISTORY of the British empire in (London.)

I have a copy of a work which was commenced about this time, and issued in numbers of twenty-four pages each, without any title-pages, the titles, as given above, being found on the first page of two of the three volumes into which it is divided. The first volume contains an introduction of fifty-two pages, and an account of HUDSON'S BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, and NEW ENGLAND, in 402 pages. The second continues the history of NEW ENGLAND, and gives that of NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, and PENNSYLVANIA; 496 pages. The third contains MARYLAND, VIRGINIA, and NORTH CAROLINA, ending abruptly at page 272. The volumes contain several very well executed maps and plates, but the work was apparently left in this unfinished state, which accounts for its being so little known.

13 A NEW HISTORY OF SOUTH AMERICA. By Richard Rolt. 8vo.

London.

This was intended to have been followed by a history of North America, but which apparently was never published.

14 THE CIVIL AND NATURAL HISTORY OF JAMAICA: in three parts; containing, 1. an accurate description of that island, its situation and soil; with a brief account of its former and present state, government, revenues, produce, and trade. II. A history of the natural productions, including the various sorts of native fossils, perfect and imperfect vegetables, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects; with their proper

ties and uses in mechanics, diet, and physic. 111. An account 1756. of the nature of climates in general, and their different effects upon the human body; with a detail of the diseases arising from this source, particularly within the tropics: in three dissertations. The whole illustrated with fifty copper-plates, in which the most curious productions are represented of the natural size, and delineated immediately from the objects. By Patrick Browne, M.D. . London.

Folio, pp. 503.

Republished, with a new title and additional indexes, in 1789. Mr. Chalmers
states that only 250 copies of this work were printed, and that all the
copper-plates, as well as the original drawings, were consumed by the
great fire in Cornhill, November 7, 1765. The first part of the work,
containing the civil history, is dispatched in twenty-seven pages; the
second, which comprises the natural history, occupies the rest of the
volume; the third part mentioned on the title being entirely omitted,
for which the following apology is given at the end of the volume:
"I would willingly have added the three dissertations I proposed to
publish with this work, but, as it has already swelled to the limits I
designed, and that the season is too far advanced to finish the whole this
year, I determined to publish the Civil and Natural History alone:
leaving those, with another on worm-fevers, &c. which will make a small
volume in 8vo. to be printed the ensuing season."

"Appears to have been printed in Germany, and is the fabrication of some needy and ignorant impostor, who wrote, not for the purpose of injuring the Jesuits, but in the hope of making money by duping the curiosity of the public. He makes Nicolas Rubiouni, a Spaniard by birth, a rogue by breeding, and a Jesuit by profession, who raises a rebellion among the Indians at Nova Colonia, and proclaims himself King of Paraguay, &c.
