Roman remains than any of his predecessors: he has amply fulfilled all our expectations: his remarks are new; and he joins an exquisite taste in the works of art to uncommon penetration, and a vast as well as profound erudition.

Series Moneta Romana universa, c. 4to. Venice. This little tract will be interesting to all the lovers of the numismatic science. It contains a complete series, divided into eight epochs, of consular and imperial coins, current in Italy, from the foundation of Rome to the fall of the Roman and Greek empire. The order proposed by Ekhel is followed for the division of the classes. This arrangement is peculiarly clear and exact, and will be an excellent guide to those who wish to arrange a cabinet of medals.

Opere in Versi e in Prosa, &c. The Works, in Verse and Prose, of Count Gaspero Gozzi, a Venetian. 8 Vols. 8vo. Venice.-We are indebted for this edition to the care of the abbé Angelo Dalmistro, one of the author's most zealous admirers-anxious to rescue his fame from the insinuations of those who have mistaken his merits. For this purpose, he has prefixed the life of count Gozzi in a strain of studied panegyric, and claims for him the admiration of future ages. At the end of this éloge we find fifteen epistles in verse (sermones), on various subjects of taste, literature, and morality. A poem in four cantos follows, entitled The Triumph of Humility: various poems of the lyric kind, with translations of the first part of the third satire of Persius, and of the second epistle of the first book of Horace. The second volume contains also miscellaneous poetry; and the three following, with a part of the sixth volume, are filled with a periodical work entitled 'Osservatore,' in the manner of the Spectator; of which two sheets were published weekly. This was, at the time, a novelty in Italy. The remainder of the sixth volume is filled with commentaries on each canto of Dante's poems, followed by an apology for that poet, in answer to some criticisms sent, under the assumed name of Virgil, to the academy of the Arcadians. Gozzi ase sumes the name of Doni, and writes from the Elysian fields. This is followed by a translation of Pope's Essay on Criticism. The seventh and part of the eighth volume contain a philosophic romance, under the title of the Moral World,' and the author introduces some fine passages from the Dialogues of Lucian and Klopstock's Death of Adam. The remainder contains a translation of the Picture of Cebes, and some miscellaneous poems.

SPAIN.

Teatro nuevo Español. New Spanish Theatre. 3 Vols. 8 vs. Madrid. These volumes contain many pieces imitated from Molière and Destouches. Even some of Kotzebue's are inserted-an author pretty severely treated by the Spanish critics. One of the most interesting pieces-The Virago-contains some pointed remarks against the sentimental comedies, particularly of the French theatre.

PORTUGAL.

AMERICA.

Opere di Nicola Machiavelli. Works of N. Machiavelli. 6 Vols. 8vo. Philadelphia.-It is singular to meet with an improved edition of an Italian work from the press of the United States. An éloge of Machiavel, by Baldelli, is prefixed; and, besides the usual works, this edition contains the following, some of which, at least, have been hitherto inedited.

Dell' Ira e dei Modi di curarla.' This was an early piece. of the author, supposed by the editor to have been written

about 1504. It contains some striking and just remarks on the motives of human actions.

Descrizione della Peste.' This epidemic desolated Tuscany, and particularly Florence, in the years 1522 and 1527, and is said to have destroyed 20,000 people. It has been mentioned by Varchi, and many contemporary authors, whose manuscripts are still preserved in libraries; but no one has given so full an account of it as Machiavel. The editor is mistaken in thinking this piece hitherto unpublished.

Instruzione a Rafaello Girolami. These instructions were written when Raphaël went to Spain, to the court of the emperor. This piece shows a political and enlightened mind, with proper views to conduct men to the objects they wish to attain.

Capitoli per una Compagnia di Piacere. A little local piece, which appears wholly uninteresting at this time,

Allocuzione fatta ad un Magistrato.' In this harangue, the author recommends justice with the eloquence of Cicero, and the fervor of Demosthenes.

• Commedia in Versi.' A piece without a title, whose sole merit consists in its style.

'La Mente d' un Huomo di Stato. A collection of maxims and sentences, taken from the works of Machiavel, by the editor.

Due Testamenti Latini. One of these is dated Nov. 22, 1511, and the other Nov. 27, 1522.

WE greatly regret that accidental circumstances have again prevented us from offering any review of MAPS and CHARTS in the present Appendix. This department will, however, be still conti nued; and the circumstances which have occasioned the omission, will, we trust, have the effect of rendering it more copious and important in future.
