POLITICAL ECONOMY.

New

The Elements of Political Economy. In two Parts. By Daniel Ramonds, Counsellor at Law. 2 Vols. 8vo. Second Edition. F. Lucas, Jun. and E. J. Coale, 1824. Printed by John D. Toy.

In the preface to this second edition, the author says, 'As some of the most experienced and intelligent men in our country have expressed a favorable opinion of the model, (for the first edition was but a model,) and intimated that it was susceptible of being executed in such a manner, as to be worthy of public patronage, the author felt himself not only justified, but required to make another effort to improve the work.' It does not appear, that the author has changed any of his views on the subjects discussed in the first edition, but has rather aimed to illustrate more fully, and confirm by additional arguments, the principles there laid down. The mechanical execution of these two volumes is creditable to the Baltimore press.

NATURAL HISTORY.

The Philosophy of Natural History. By W. Smellie, Member of the Antiquarian and Royal Societies of Edinburgh. With an Introduction and various Additions and Alterations, intended to adapt it to the present State of Knowledge. By John Ware, M. D. Boston. pp. 336.

Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York. Vol. I. Nos. 1 and 2.

The following is the notice of the Editors in the first number of this work. 'It is intended to comprise original communications and essays read before the Lyceum of Natural History, the preference to be given in all cases to such as tend to elucidate the knowledge of the natural productions of our country.' The numbers are not to come out at stated times, but occasionally, as materials may be offered. Each number is to contain one or more plates. This is a praiseworthy enterprise, and will doubtless meet with the encouragement and cooperation of the friends of science; the field of natural history is very broad in this country, and as yet it has been but imperfectly explored. A plan like this to excite the diligence, and combine the labors of those, who are practised in this department, is favorable to the progress of inquiry and knowledge.

An Introductory Address delivered before the Utica Lyceum, on the 5th of February. By A. B. Johnson, President of the Society. Utica, N. Y.

Readinger Magazin, für Freunde der Deutschen Literatur in America. Herausgegeben von J. E. Gossler. Reading, Pennsylvania, Jan. 1824. No. I.

The first number of this work, which is the only one we have seen, answers well the object professed by the editor, which is, to amuse and instruct. We suppose that, among the native Germans of this country, there is not to be found a very large reading class, and it will augur favorably for the spirit of improvement among them, if encouragement suflicient shall be given for continuing a literary monthly publication in their own language.

The elegant octavo volume now offered to the public, contains several pieces of the illustrious Scottish Bard, which never before appeared in print. The publisher has been indefatigably employed for a considerable time past in collecting original pieces, together with valuable notes, from several literary gentlemen who were intimate with the author during his life, and well acquainted with
