doctor's learning and judgment than of any one of our reformers; and that however fully the author of Pietas Oxonienfis may be perfuaded of a strict harmony between the facred oracles and the articles, liturgy, and homilies, others are as fully perfuaded of the contrary.' This writer goes on and urges his former plea, against those who subscribe to articles which they do not believe; and insists, that, upon the scheme of the remarker for allowing a latitude of fubfcription, any papist might hold a benefice in the church of England. In the latter part of his performance he intimates his fufpicions, that his opponent is a diffenter, and obferves, that if these furmifes are juft, it will be easily to account for the contemptuous manner in which he has treated the church and the reformers. 29. The firft of a Series of Letters to the Author of Pietas Oxonienfis, in Answer to bis Letter to the rev. Dr. Adams, of Shrewfbury. 8vo. Pr. 9d. White. This is a fenfible tract on the use of reafon in religious enquiries, in oppofition to the writer of the letter to Dr. Adams, who fays, that man's reafon cannot attain any knowledge of the nature and attributes of God, because God is incomprehenfible. Our author has manifeftly the advantage of his antagonist in this difpute, and clearly fhews, from plain declarations of fcripture, and from fact, that man by the exercise of his rational faculties can attain some knowledge of the nature and attributes of God. His knowledge he obferves, confifts in the following particulars : 1. To ufe St. Paul's own words,-The invifible things of bim, his Being and Perfections, which are invisible to our bodily eyes, even his eternal Power and Godhead, or universal dominion and providence, over the whole creation. 2. That he is Goodness itself, and loveth his creatures. 3. That he is intimately prefent every where, with all things, and with all persons. 4. That a pious and well directed mind is his delight, and that he punisheth the wicked.' The author has made. fome judicious remarks on the abfurdity of those who fet reafon in oppofition to divine revelation. 30. Reflections on the feven Days of the Week. 8vo. Pr. 11. Rivington. These reflections are faid to be the production of a female author, lately deceased. They are written in the usual strain of religious meditations, and seem to be the refult of good fenfe, and exalted piety, without any tincture of enthusiasm. 31. Fugitive Political Effays, which have appeared in the Public Advertiser during the laft Winter, 1769 and 1770, under the feveral Names of Old Slyboots, Faction, Hortenfius, A Lover of Confiftency, &c. 8vo. 3. Richardson and Urquhart. We have formerly read feveral of thefe effays with great pleasure, and are perfuaded that the more difcerning part of the public will not accufe us of any partiality, when we give it as our opinion, that they are written both with humour and good fenfe. The arguments used by the author are generally ftrong and convincing; and his raillery is directed rather against the political conduct, than the perfons, of the opponents of government. Though it is probable, that these fugitive effays were originally published in hafte, they are unworthy of being perused at leifure, and may afford, to the dif interested reader, both entertainment and political instruction. 32. Foote's Prologue Detected; with a Miniature-Profe Epilogue of bis Manner in fpeaking it. 8vo. Pr. Is. Williams. Never had we the mortification of reviewing fuch dall, ftupid, and malicious stuff as is contained in this pamphlet. From beginning to end, there is not the fainteft gleam to be perceived of wit, humour, or argument. The whole is an invidious and impotent attempt to traduce the character of a gentleman whofe dramatic abilities have defervedly raifed him to the highest reputation with the public; and by this illiberal and injurious attack, our indignation is the more ftrongly excited, as the celebrated prologue, which has given rife to this contemptible piece of abfurdity, does honour to the British theatre. But we congratulate Mr. Foote, as friends to genius. and literary merit, on that acceffion of applaufe and public favour, which must naturally accrue to him from fuch virulent and defperate efforts of envy and malevolence. 33. A Candid and Impartial State of the Evidence of the very great Improbability that there is difcovered by M. Le Fevre, from Liege in Germany, a Specific for the Gout. 8vo. 15. Kearly. This pamphlet is a very fenfible examination into the pretended efficacy of Le Fevre's specific medicine; and we entirely agree with the author in the validity of his arguments against it. 34. An Analyfis of the Thoughts on the Caufe of the prefent Difcontents, and of the Obfervations on the fame. 8vo. Pr. 15. Robinson and Roberts. In this ingenious performance, the writer traces, with great address and fhrewdnefs, the turnings and doublings of the ce I lebrated lebrated Mr. B-, whose latent views he lays open to the public. Like a polite and well-bred man, he gently approaches the patriotic Mrs. M--y, pays her a genteel compliment, and immediately retires. From this circumftance, and fome peculiar modes of expreffion, we are inclined to believe, that the author is either a foreigner or a nobleman. reading a fcurrilous Paper, intitled, With Remarks in Vindication of the 35. Reflections occafioned by A cool, though spirited, vindication of a very useful body of his majesty's subjects, against the inflammatory invectives of a popular author. 36. Genuine Copies of the Love Letters and Cards which have paffed between an illuftrious Perfonage and a noble Lady, during the Courfe of a late Amour. 8vo. Pr. 1s. 6d. Brown. A literary fraud, against which the laws of this country have not provided a proper remedy. 37. The Paffion: an Oratorio. As performed at the Theatre-Royal in Covent-Garden. 8vo. Pr. Is. Griffin. Paffion, and pathos, totally forgot"." 38. A Difcourfe addressed to the Minority. By a primitive Ebrew. 8vo. 15. Fell. The ravings of a political bedlamite. 39. The Modern Book-keeper; or Book-keeping made perfectly Eafy, &c. By W. Squire, Mafter of the Academy in Whitecrofsftreet, 8vo. Is. 6d. Cook. A new method of advertising a school, from which we hope the mafter will derive fome advantage, as he appears to be fufficiently acquainted with the neceffary art of book-keeping. 40. A Sermon to Tradesmen. 8vo. This discourse in ftile and manner very much resembles the Sermons to Young Women; and may be read with advantage by thofe tradesmen who are fincerely difpofed to receive inftruction from fermons. * See Mr. Foote's New Occafional Prologue.
