Turgot, comptroller of the finances in France, to Dr. Price, on the constitutions of America; and an abstract of Dr. Price's Observations on the importance of the American Revolution; with notes and reflections upon that work. Translated from the French of the Count de Mirabeau. Johnson,

8vo.

A translation of No. 34, of 1784.--" In this work much eloquence is employed to prove that the institution of the order of Cincinnatus is the creation of a military nobility, which will in time form a dangerous aristocratic power, supported by numbers, military force, general respect, the right of inheritance, the power of holding assemblies at pleasure, and revenue." Monthly Review.-" The language of the Count relating to the new order is animated and indignant, though clear and precise; the translator frequently soars above him, and sometimes seems to be lost in the clouds into which he is raised." Critical Review.

14 VOYAGE de M. Le Chevalier de Chastellux en Amérique.

Travels, printed at Cassel, which is referred to in the Paris edition of
1786. It consists of extracts taken at random from his мms. journals,
without any connexion, which were first published in a periodical journal
at Gotha.

6 LETTERS written in London by an American spy, from the year
1764 to the year 1785.
Crowder,

These letters are said to be the correspondence of a Quaker with his friends in Philadelphia; and, while they display the honest bluntness of a sect, are animated by a warm philanthropy, true religion, and sound sense. Critical Review, vol. 62.

'Military powers uniting to alleviate the miseries of

could possibly give to the princes and statesmen of the earth." M.R,

13 VOYAGES de M. le Marquis de Chastellux dans l'Amerique
Septentrionale dans les années 1780, 1781, et 1782.
8vo. 2 vols. 5 maps and plates.

Published in English in the following year. "These travels will excite in
different minds various and opposite sentiments. By the Englishman
they will be read with indignation and disgust, as they contain numerous
misrepresentations of the conduct of his countrymen, with encomiums
equally exaggerated on their foes; by the natural historian, with a cool
contempt of the academician's remarks; by the politician with eager ex-
pectation; and by the more indifferent enquirer, with pleasure and
interest. The work gives a lively picture of a state of society with
which we have hitherto been little acquainted: it paints the appearances
of nature in her savage wildness, and delineates the struggles of art in
rendering the country habitable, with its gradual success in the contest.
The Marquis travels through America as a friend and an ally: he sees a
great and rising kingdom in every step; simplicity and innocence dance
before him with playful gambols; and, captivated with the unrefined
manners to which he is everywhere a witness, he does not perceive that,
with the luxuries of Europe, the Americans have everywhere imported
its vices." Critical Review.

"A spirited writer here attacks the Marquis for having, in the publication of his travels, exposed to ridicule, and grossly misrepresented the principles and manners of the Quakers; he also endeavours to shew that the Marquis's reflections on the slavery of the negroes, and his thoughts on the conditions of mankind, with respect to the ranks in society, are often
