(Madrid.) This letter is dated Nov. 1, 1746, at Cordova, in the province of Tucuman,

and contains an account of the state of the missions of the Jesuits in Paraguay, at that time. It has no title-page, and was evidently printed for private distribution only. The same author published Descripcion del

Gran Chaco, in 1733, and a history of his order in 1754. 12 INDIVIDUAL Y VERDADERA RELACION de la extrema ruina que

there afterwards to the end of November following. Published at Lima by order of the viceroy, and translated from the original Spanish, by a gentleman who resided many years in those countries. To which is added, a description of Callao and Lima before their destruction, and of the kingdom of Peru in general, &c. The whole illustrated with a map, plans, and several cuts of the natives, drawn on the spot by the translator. The second edition.

London, 8vo. pp. 341, 9 plates and maps. The account of the earthquake is translated from No. 11 of 1747, and occu

pies seventy pages: the remainder of the work is a compilation from various authors. The translator's name was Henry Johnson ; and the first edition was probably published in the same year. In the Gent.'s Mag.

for 1748 it is called a pretended translation from the Spanish. 7 A voyAGE ROUND THE WORLD, in the years MDCCXL. 1. II.

III. IV. By George Anson, esq. commander-in-chief of a squadron of his Majesty's ships, sent upon an expedition to the South Seas. Compiled from papers and other materials of the R. H. George Lord Anson, and published under his direction, by Richard Walter, M.A., chaplain of the Centurion,

in that expedition. Illustrated with 42 copper-plates. Quarto, pp. 417.

London. Walter had prepared an account of this voyage for the press, but it was

found so badly executed, that Benjamin Robins, the mathematician, was employed to re-write it, although, for some reason or other, the worthy chaplain's name was allowed to remain on the title-page. It is called by some English writers a masterpiece of composition; but it appears to have been made amusing at the expense of truth. The progress of science formed no part of the object of this expedition, which was prepared for attacking unawares the Spanish possessions and shipping in the South Sea, and which was so successful, that the prize-money divided amongst the officers and crews amounted to more than a million sterling. The Biographie Universelle says, that the views, charts, and plans, deserve praise for their exactness; but Dr. Dibdin says, that "the plates are in truth barbarously bad, and that to read the text without the plates, must be a comfort.” He says, moreover, that the volume is unworthy in every respect of the intrepid Anson. The doctor bad apparently only seen the fifth edition, printed in 1749; in which, of course, the plates must have been nearly worn out. The copies of the first edition, on royal paper, of which I now have one before me, were superior to any book of the kind which had been hitherto published, and were unequalled until Cook's voyages appeared. Of the large paper copies 350 were

.

taken by subscription. A seventh edition was printed in 1753 in 8vo. 1748. It was published in German, French, and Dutch, in 1749, and in Italian

in 1756.

These two works are generally found together. The historical relation

was written by Ulloa; the astronomical part by Juan. It was, at the
time, the most important work of the kind that had been published. The
expedition to which it relates was the same in which Condamine and
Bouguer were sent by the French academy of sciences, for the purpose
of determining the figure of the earth at the Equator. The astronomical
observations were reprinted in 1773, with a memoir of the author. The
historical part was translated into French in 1752, and into English in
1758.
