merit the attention of numismatics; for I think, that hitherto, the year 478 has never been recognised on the medals which we possess of Sauromatus the third; but is no assistance to history, since we possess coins of this prince, struck both before and after that period. The second medal, in copper, represents the figure and the name of the same Sauromatus; and on the reverse, a woman sitting, or according to the opinion of the learned archæologist Kohler, the goddess Astarte; and before her, in miniature, the head of the emperor Septimus Severus, crowned with laurels and the letter B.

If the two medals just described have actually been found in the ruins near Nedvigofky, it is clearly proved that Tanaïs was not totally destroyed by king Polemon, son of Zinon, or at least was restored and inhabited by the Greeks of the Bosphorus until the period of the Antonines, an epoch in which, as you suppose yourself, the barbarians destroyed a great number of towns on the northern shores of the Black Sea, as Olvia, Istros, and many others. 2 This conclusion may be of the greatest importance for history; and in comparing it with other discoveries, it will undoubtedly serve to elucidate facts hitherto environed with dark

ness.

Voyage Bibliographique, Archæologique, et Pittoresque, en France. Bibliographic, Archæologic, and Picturesque Journey in France. By the Rev. Th. Frognall Dibdin, translated from the English, with notes, 1st and 2d vols., in 8vo. Paris, 1825.

The French translator of this work has corrected the errors of this erudite English traveller, which are numerous, particularly in that part which treats of Normandy. We will mention only one of these errors. In speaking of the Abbaie de St. Etienne, at Caen, the English traveller says: "According to Huet, the stone employed in the construction of this edifice was brought, partly from Vaucelle, and partly from Germany." Mr. Dibdin appears not to have known that there is a village near Caen denominated Allemagne; although, if he had attentively read Huet, he would have perceived that he himself says so; and it was from this

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are obliged to our Exeter Correspondent for his corrections of a certain Hebrew Work, which we deemed it best to send to the Publisher to be inserted at the end of the work.

We are obliged to J. C. K.; but his verses have been too often published to suit our pages. Indeed, we only insert Prize Compositions.

If A Constant Reader at Aberdeen will transcribe the passage he mentions from Scheller's Criticism, we shall be glad to insert it; but we have sought in vain for the Work itself.
