Tweed. But it is now intended to be dif-
played upon a larger scale; and Liverpool,
Manchester, and Edinburgh are to be the
theatres of fuccessive exhibition. The in-
tended publication will contain the plan of
a course of twelve lectures, exclusively of two
introductory discourses, devoted to a phy-
fiological examination of the structure and
offices of the organs of speech, under the
distinct classifications of vocal and enunci-
ative organs. The plan of instruction
proposed by the Lecturer embraces the
whole science of delivery, enunciatory and
gefticulative-conversational facility, read-
ing, recital, public oratory-the removal
of impediments-the cultivation of the
higher accomplisliments of the art:-and
the objects of the printed outline are, to
demonitrate, on the one hand, that his re-
searches into the elements of the art have
not been circumscribed by the boundaries
of former inquiry; and, on the other, to
invite the criticisms and suggestions of
those persons of tatte and intellect who may
confider the undertaking as entitled to
public patronage.

Since the revolution operated by LINNEUS in the science of botany, almost all the countries of Europe have had their Floras, or a catalogue of their refpeftive vegetable productions, classed after the method of that great mafter. There is none, however, extant for antient or the ci-devant Allace, no botanist having hitherto completed for the public the imperfect works of the Naturalifts Mappus and Lindern, published about fixty years ago. It appears that the celebrated Profeffor HERMANN had been labouring for thirty years together in compiling con Flora of Alface. The extent of the plan which he had adopted, and the perfection which he wished to bestow on his work, prevented him from publishing it before his death; but there is every reafon to expect that Citizen HAMMER, histon-in-law, will thortly lay it before the public.

A periodical work is now publishing at Leipzig, intitled: Commentarii Societatis Philologicæ Lipfienfis. Ed. curavit CHRISTIANUS DANIEL BECKIUS. Vol. prim. Part prim. This new journal is composed in Latin, and will form a repofitory in it. Different new inventions were pre

wherein M Beck and the other members of the Philological Society of Leipzig will communicate to the public a knowledge of all the works, more or less confiderable, that have a relation to philology; for example, the Alta Eruditorum, the Bibliotheca Critica ot Ruhoken and of Wyttenbach, and other fimilar periodical works. The reason that has induced the authors to prefer the Latin tongue for this journal, may be eafily conceived, viz. that by this means philologists of all countries (among whom the La in is still the uniV Hal tongue) may derive advantage from it. This periodical work will contain -r. Obfervations and memoirs on phi lology in general, and its different parts, as likewife on history, antient geography, archeology, &..; on the manner of reading and of explaining antient authors, and on die interpretation of different paffages, expreffons, &c.-2. Judgments on the opinions and the discoveries of the learned in this kind, and modest critiques of errors which may have been committed on this fubiect. 3.
