connected with what he apprehends to be the real interest of this country,
as well as with the common rights inseparable from the very idea of a free

Ornamented

with an elegiac frontispiece, and a reconciliatory tail-piece. In this research, the present dissention between the mother country and her colonies is considered in a new light, and supported by arguments quite different from those held forth by the parliamentary speakers and polemical writers on either side of the question.

A la Haye. Isaac Pinto was a Portuguese Jew, living in Holland, who undertook the defence of the measures of the British government for the subjection of the colonies. His two letters are little more than an abstract of Sir John Dalrymple's celebrated pamphlet, The Rights of Great Britain asserted, &c. which he lauds to the skies. The author of Observations d'un homme impartial exposes the false reasoning of "little Isaac," and shows himself a zealous defender of the rights of the colonies.

This work has no date, &c. to it; but, by the original мs. in my possession, it appears that the edition was prepared by Don Bernardo Yriarte, and published at Madrid in this year. Some bookseller has affirmed that only six copies were printed, but I have myself seen a much greater number in Madrid, where the work was considered as of very little value. It apparently, however, was never intended for sale.

Meusel attributes this anonymous work to the Abbé Vidaurre, but Molina
speaks of it as if by a different author. The American translator of Molina
has made large extracts from it, from which it appears to be, though con-
cise, a work of considerable authority. A map of the country, a plan of
Santiago, the capital, and other places, all made from accurate observations,
add to the value of this work.

Venetia.

Cyriaci Morelli is the pseudonyme of Don Domingo Muriel, a Spanish Jesuit, for many years a professor in the college of his order at Tucuman. When the Jesuits were expelled from the Spanish dominions he retired to Italy, where he prepared the present work, which is a collection of all the orders, decrees, &c. given by the popes, and by the kings of Spain, relative to the spiritual concerns of America, from its first discovery. He also translated Charlevoix' History of Paraguay into Latin, and published it, with a continuation, at Venice, in 1779.
