Alfo ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have read with due attention, the fober and very able arguments of Amicus, and certainly fhall give very careful confideration to the principal fubject of his letter. For his fuggeftion on another matter we thank him, and are well inclined to follow his advice. To Frederick we must fay that we are forry we cannot gra tify him. To do what he defires would demand a long article, and all cannot be long. Those which are briefly meritioned, we hope are always mentioned juftly: but if particulars could be entered into, they would occupy another part of the Review. It is, in thofe cafes, a few words or nothing. A Friend to Orthodoxy is, we think, not quite friendly in. fome of his ftrictures upon us: but we trust that he means us well, and fhall be glad to profit by his advice where it may be practicable. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. We rejoice to hear that Mr. Horfley is preparing a new edition of his father's excellent, tracts against Priestley; which have been long out of print, and much fought by clergy and others. This edition will be enriched with obfervations on various parts of the controverfy, written by Bishop Horsley himself, on the margin of the former edition. Mr. H. intends alfo to publifh fome obfervations, either as notes, or in the form of an appendix, on Mr. Belfham's Review of the Controverfy. In the mean time the public is cautioned against against a fpurious edition, which, if it cannot be flopped by injunction, is proceeding in the very town where Mr. Horfley lives, Dundee; but cannot poffibly have the additions. Mr. T. Leybourne, editor of the Mathematical Repository, fof which No. 11 is lately published) intends, with the approbation of the editor, Dr. Charles Hutton, to print by fubfcription, a complete edition in octavo, of the mathematical part of the Ladies Diary, alone; from its commencement in 1704 to the prefent time. It will be put to prefs as foon as a fufficient number of fubfcribers fhall be obtained, The learned world will neceffarily rejoice to hear, that the first volume of Mr. Davy's Elements of the Philofophy of Chemistry, will be published at Chriftmas. Mr. Beloe's Fifth Volume of Anecdotes of Literature is completed, and will be published very fhortly. The Sixth and laft, with a complete Index to the whole work, is in great forwardnefs. Mr. Jopp will fhortly bring out a new Work, entitled Hiftorical Reflections on the Conftitution of England. R. Wharton, Efq. M. P. has at prefs an elegant Poem, entitled "Roncesvalles," in twelve books, one handsome quarto volume.

Price WHILE the defpotic genius of France has dictated to a paffive people that mockery of Jurifprudence, the code Napoleon, the British Legiflature has endeavoured to eftablith on a more authentic bafis thofe free and equal laws, which, having hitherto kept pace with the gradual extension of the genuine principles of civil liberty, afford us the best fecurity which a nation can poffefs against external violence, and internal oppreflion. To collect and preferve the best evidence of our written law, was truly a national work; and the execution of it, under the immediate aufpices of the legiflature, cannot fail, we think, to contribute fomething to the flability and glory of the British Empire.
