This view of the old and new constitution of the United States of America, by Gerhard Dumbar, LL.D., and member of the Philosophical Society at Utrecht, contains an impartial examination of what the author calls the old constitution, by which he means the thirteen articles of confederation, settled in Congress on the 17th of November, 1777. This survey is introduced by a concise account of the rise of the war, and of the events preceding the formation of the Union. In a second volume, the author proposes to offer some remarks on the new constitution of 1787.

1 THE HISTORY of the origin, progress, and termination of the
American War. By C. Stedman, who served under Sir W.
Howe, Sir H. Clinton, and the Marquis Cornwallis. In two
volumes.
Debrett, &c.

Quarto, 2 vols. 15 maps and plans.

The situation of Mr. Stedman, as an officer of the British army in America,
enabled him to collect the materials which he has here methodized and
communicated to the world. In the accomplishment of this work, Mr.
Stedman has entitled himself to considerable praise; his language is cor-
rect and animated; and he has exemplified much diligence in collecting,
and much judgment in arranging, the materials which compose this inter-
esting portion of history. It has evidently been his intention to be can-
did and impartial; and, on the whole, much credit is due to him on this
head, considering his situation and sentiments. M. R.

8vo. pp. 103.

"This collection of state papers reflects very great honor on the ministers of the United States of North America. Placed by the war in a situation the most embarrassing, pressed on different sides by memorials and remonstrances, from the agents of Great Britain and France, they appear to have conducted themselves with consummate prudence, and the most scrupulous impartiality. Notwithstanding the provoking menaces of Genet, the minister from the French republic, which would have warranted measures of resentment, they persevered in a line of conduct marked with the most dignified moderation, and, at the same time, with a firm and unshaken adherence to what they conceived to be their duty.” M.
