his heavenly taylor (as he fcruples not to exprefs himself in his writings), we think he lays himfelf open to no common or mode. rate fatire; but that he is fair game to the wits of the day, whether their abilities lead them to the expofure of folly, or the de-tection of knavery: Our decided opinion of Mr. H. very clearly coincides with the determination of the gentleman, who being afked whether he deemed a certain perfon to be most fool or most knave, gravely answered, that he thought there was much to be faid on both fides. In the perufal of this book, fome difficulty arifes as to the ufe of the inverted commas; but we believe, from pp. xiv. xv. of the introduction, that the intention of the editor was merely to mark, as quotations from the writings of Mr. H., fuch paffages, as, though they are not literally transcribed from his books, are yet fo managed as to convey the drift of his opi nions, in the moft plain and intelligible language.

ART. 36. Felifa; or, The Life and Opinions of a Kitten of Sentiment. Izmo. 3s. 6d. Harris. 1811.

A pleafing book for children, in which, together with the hiftory of a favourite but unfortunate Kitten, many excellent leffons of inftruction are conveyed to the young reader, and these are rendered still more impreffive by the aid of fome coloured prints. ART. 37. Il vero Modo di piacere in Compagnia. Opera dedicata all' Iftruzione e Ricreazione della Gioventù. Da Carlo Monteggia. 12mo. 315 PP. Colburn, &c. 1810.

There is a French as well as an English title to this book; and the whole is given in Italian and French, printed on oppofite pages. That fuch a publication may be ufeful to ftudents in both languages, is evident, and we fee no reafon why this fhould not be recommended.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A Friend has written again, to inform us that we have miftaken his 26 and 30, for years of Sir R. Sadler's age,whereas they really referred to the years of Henry the 8th's reign. Sadler was two years old when Henry began to reign, confequently was 28 in the King's 26th year, and 32 in his 30th, which were the periods when he was first noticed, and afterwards employed by his Sovereign. We are happy to correct this mistake, as it tends to fettle the correct hiftory of that eminent man.
