FENCING FAMILIARIZED; or, a NEW TREA

TISE on the ART of SWORD PLAY: illuftrated by elegant engravings, reprefenting all the different attitudes, on which the principles and grace of the art depend; painted from life, and executed in a moft elegant and mafterly manner. By Mr. OLIVIER; educated at the Royal Academy at Paris, and profeffor of fencing, in St. Dunstan's-court, Fleet-street. Price 78. bound.

"The author of this work humbly prefumes, that he "has offered many confiderable improvements in the art "of fencing, having founded his principles on nature, "and confuted many falfe notions hitherto adopted by "the moft eminent masters; he has rendered the play "fimple, and made it easy and plain, even to thofe "who were before unacquainted with the art. After "bringing his fcholar as far as the affault, and having "demonftrated to him all the thrufts and various pa"rades, he lays down rules for defence in all forts of "fword play.

The monthly reviewers exprefs themselves in the following terms: "For aught we dare fay to the contrary, "Mr. Olivier's book is a very good book, and may "help to teach, as much as books can teach, the no"ble science of defence, or, as our author terms it, "sword play; and it is made more particularly useful "by the various attitudes and pofitions, which feem "to be here accurately and elegantly delineated."

tion

tion for any quantity of paper the book may contain, deducting or adding two fhillings for every quire that may be increafed or decreafed, and bound as above.

Mr. Locke has confined his elucidation to the advantages arifing from reading; in felecting remarka"ble paffages from books: but this is not the only purpofe to which the Common-Place Book may be fuccefsfully applied. It is not folely for the divine, the lawyer, the poet, philofopher, or hiftorian, that this publication is calculated; by thefe its ufes are expe rimentally known and univerfally admitted: it is for "the use and emolument of the man of bufiuefs as well as of letters; for men of fashion and fortune as well as of fludy; for the traveller, the trader, and, in fhort, for all those who would form a fyftem of useful and agreeable knowledge, in a manner peculiar to themfelves, while they are following their accustomed purfuit, either of profit or pleafure.

THE

HE Natural and Chemical ELEMENTS of AGRICULTURE. Tranflated from the Latin of Count Gustavus Adolphus Gyllenborg. By JOHN MILLS, Efq; F. R. S. Price 2s. 6d. fewed.

"The original of this treatife has already been tranf lated into feveral foreign languages; it is here accurately rendered into English, and has defervedly mee "with approbation. It contains an ingenious theo"retical account of the principles of agriculture de ❝duced from a rational philofophy; a fubject of enquiry which may be confidered as of the fame impor tance to an accomplished farmer, as the knowledge of the animal economy is to a fkilful physician. For though it is chiefly by practical obfervons that both 66 are to cultivate their art, yet a competent acquain tance with the abftract clements of fcience may prove the means of fuggefting ufeful expedients, and often facilitate the road to practice."
