the author of the following work:

2 THE CANADIAN FREEHOLDER: a dialogue, shewing the senti-
ments of the bulk of the freeholders of Canada, concerning
the late Quebec Act, with some remarks on the Boston-charter
Act; and an attempt to shew the great expediency of imme-
diately repealing both those Acts of Parliament, as a ground
for a reconciliation with the united colonies in America.

By T. Pownall, M.P. late governor, &c. of H. M.'s provinces of Massachusetts Bay and South Carolina, and lieutenant governor of New Jersey. Almon,

Folio. pp. 68. Map.

This is a republication of Evans's map and analysis (1755), with consider-
able improvements and additions. Gov. Pownall says that "a pirated
copy of Evans's map, soon after it came to England, was, in a most
audacious manner, published by Jefferys, and falsely sold as Evans's
map improved, by which that very laborious and ingenious, but poor man,
was deprived of the benefit of his work. Owing to the ignorance of the
engraver it can scarcely be called a copy, and, as respects the face of the
country, might as well be a map of the face of the moon.
The same
plate, with all its imperfections, was afterwards used by Sayer, in his
atlases."

"In the latter part of the year 1774, and in the beginning of 1775, a political controversy was begun and carried on in the Boston newspapers, between two gentlemen of considerable abilities, under the signatures of Novanglus and Massachusettensis. The letters appertaining to the latter of these signatures (and written on the side of government,) were afterwards collected and published in a pamphlet, and are now reprinted from the Boston impression." M.R. The author of Massachusettensis was Jonathan Sewall, at that time attorney-general for the king, of the province of Massachusetts. This, and the essays of Novanglus, (written by John Adams, afterwards president of the United States,) were reprinted, with a preface and a number of letters, by President Adams, in Boston, in 1819.

16 OBSERVATIONS on the nature of civil liberty, the principles of government, and the justice and policy of the war with

America. To which is added, an appendix, containing a state 1776. of the national debt, an estimate of the money drawn from the public by the taxes, and an account of the national income and expenditure since the last war. By Richard Price, D.D., F.R.S. Cadell, 8vo. pp. 128.

"The author of these observations must be ranked among the most respectable writers on the affairs of America. He does not attempt to engage our attention by the specious and flaming declamation of a party zealot, or the factious invective and rant of modern patriotism. In him we see the warm pleader united with the sound reasoner, the intelligent politician, and (above all) the INDEPENDENT MAN, the UNINFLUENCED FRIEND of his country." M.R.

London.

This defender of the honour of parliament exclaims without mercy against the Americans, as rebels, parricides, traitors, &c. and is not a little sarcastic on Dr. Price's profession as a preacher among the dissenters.

20 OBEDIENCE the best charter, or law the only sanction of liberty. In a letter to the Rev. Dr. Price. Richardson,

8vo. pp. 103.

The writer of this pamphlet represents Dr. Price as a mere factious dema-
gogue, or, what is worse, as the tool and dupe of others more factious and
more designing than himself. He represents the Americans as the most
worthless of mankind, as wretches in whose breasts the blackest treason
rankles, while devotion shades their faces, and rebellion fumes in their
hearts!

21 CURSORY OBSERVATIONS upon Dr. Price's essay on civil liberty,
particularly relating to specie and paper currency; by which
several of his positions are proved erroneous, and most of his
deductions utterly fallacious. Published with a view to re-
move the prejudices which might affect the minds of unin-
formed readers, from a too ready assent to his doctrine.

These remarks have been ascribed to Dr. Ferguson. They are written with less invective, and more decency, candour, and moderation, than have lately appeared in the productions on that side of the American dispute.

"The spirited writer of this letter, (probably Mr. Ne,) applauds Dr.
Price's late publication, but dissents from that part of it where, treating
of the colonists, the doctor says, 'they are not our subjects, but our
fellow-subjects.' It appears to him, he says, that they are neither the
one nor the other,' and his reasoning on this point is worthy of atten-
tion." M.R.

Bew,

Mr. Stewart's style is not very polite; but he is more shrewd in his arguments than many of the doctor's numerous antagonists. He attempts to ridicule, but is only rude. Some of his remarks, however, merit attention.
