* * * Though this book was originally intended for the Tyro, yet it may be of considerable advantage to the more advanced Student, who, it is more than probable, has forgot his grammar rules, as he will here more readily find a solution of any difficulty, than by turning over his grammar, especially as it has no Index; and he can depend upon the clearness of nouns and verbs in this, whereas the larger Dictionaries will, for the most part, mislead him.

* * * Upon the whole, to preserve a faithful picture of a Debate, in every point of view interesting and important, is the object of the present publication. We have not exaggerated, but, on the contrary, could we have done so conscientiously with truth, we should have been inclined to soften some of its harsher features; and there are those who know how anxiously we have studied to exclude any thing which might hurt the feelings of individuals, when that could be accomplished without affecting the impartiality of the Work.

XLIX.

A TREATISE on the ORIGIN and QUALITIES and CULTIVATION of MOSS-EARTH. By WILLIAM AITKEN, Writer, Strathaven. 8vo. Price 3s. fewed.

* * * The above Work, besides being warmly recommended by the Highland Society of Scotland, as meriting in a high degree the attention of their members, and every practical farmer throughout the kingdom, has been most favourably noticed by the Literary Journalists of the day.

The acute and intelligent author of the present Treatise appears to have directed his mind, with much ardour, to collect information, and make observations, on the nature and improvement of Moss Earth. Thinking it of great importance to rouse the attention of his countrymen to so great an advantage, and thinking the observations he himself had to communicate, might be useful to direct the efforts of many who might be disposed to concern in the undertaking, he was induced to offer his performance to the public. Judging of objects by their apparent utility, and not by the brilliancy of their form, or the magnitude of their pretensions, we are disposed to reckon this modest Treatise among the most important things which have come into our hands.—London Literary Journal for July 1805.
