feparated from the body, neither finks into a ftate of temporary flumber, nor lofes the remembrance of the transactions of antecedent life." He then adverts to "fome of the enlarged and corrected views, now (as he deems) prefent to that mind by which the measures of thefe kingdoms were fo long fuperintended." First, he confiders "the difembodied fpirit as enabled to cftimate aright the difference between things temporal and things eternal." This difference, he prefumes, muit be peculiarly ftriking to a perfon fo endowed and fo circumftanced as the late minifter. In the next place, all the extraordinary events lately witnessed on earth will appear to be parts of the general plan, and links in the great chain of Providence. This doctrine is ably stated and enforced. The conduct of individuals alfo, who have been concerned in great political transactions, must now appear in a different and far jufter light. His eftimation of his own conduct will also be different and more impartial. He will perceive, that his actions were meritorious only as they were infpired, primarily, by the love and fear of God, to which even the love of his country ought to be fubfervient in the mind of a christian. We have given but a fhort outline of this meritorious little tract; the whole of which deferves to be read for its candour and good fenfe, and, above all, for its piety. ART. 25. Naufragia; or Hiftorical Memoirs of Shipwrecks, and of the Providential Deliverance of Veffels. By James Stanier Clarke, F.R.S. Chaplain of the Prince of Wales's Household, and Librarian to his Royal Highness. 12mo. Price 6s. 6d, Maw, man, 1805. This feries of melancholy tales is extracted from Hackluyt, Purchas, Daukin, Anfon, Rogers, and fo defcending to late navigators. We cannot fay that it is not interefting, but we do not exactly fee the utility of fuch a publication. We expect far greater in formation, as well as intereft, from the work which the author hereafter intends to publish; namely, an account of the providential escape of a feaman, who concealed his real name under that of Peroufe, and lived many years on an uninhabited part of the Spanish main. This unfortunate man drifted out to fea while afleep in the ftern of a boat that was aftern; a narrative which Mr. Clarke reprefents very naturally as equal in point of infor mation, and fuperior with regard to information, particularly in fome branches of natural history, as the celebrated history of Robinson Crufoe. The object of the work is very laudable; namely, to infpire individuals, in the moft perilous fituations, "against hope to believe in hope." It is to be dedicated to Ifaac 23 Reed Reed, William Long, and Thomas Green, Efqrs. and other members of a literary club long established and defervedly esteemed. ART. 26. A concife Hiftory of the prefent State of the Commerce of Great Britain. Tranflated from the German of Charles Reinhard, LL. D. of the University of Gottingen, and Knight of the Order of St. Joachim. With Notes and confiderable Additions relating to the principal British Manufa&ures. By T. Savage. The Second Edition. 8vo. 74 PP. 2s. 6d. Symonds. 1805. In an addrefs to the public from the tranflator (who figns himfelf T. W. H.) we are told that the original of this work was lately published on the Continent, where it "exhibited a picture not lefs fplendid than true, of the greatnefs, profperity, and power of the British nation, and completely expofed the abfurd delufion under which the Germans, in particular, laboured, refpecting the fuccefs of the invafion of Great Britain by the French, and the preponderance of the power of France." It is, he adds, tranflated into English, as it "cannot fail to furnish every British subject at once with gratitude for the fuperiority which he enjoys, confo lation for the burdens he may have to fuftain, additional motives to maintain his envied pre-eminence, and confidence in a splendid and final triumph." The above is a juft account of the work before us; which, as the production of an intelligent foreigner, published in a country. where the most violent prejudices against the interefts of Great Britain had been widely diffeminated, deferves much praife. In this point of view, and as containing, in a fhort, compafs, a view of the commerce and manufactures of this kingdom, it is valuable. To those who have feen the fame important facts more fully fet forth in the works of Clarke, M'Arthur, and other able writers on politics, commerce, and finance, it does not prefent any novelty, nor indeed could novelty be expected. We could have withed the author to have further fhown (as is ably done by Mr. Gentz) that the commercial greatnefs of Britain, which has, through the arts of our enemies, excited fo much jealoufy on the Continent, is, in its confequences, beneficial to Europe. As it is, however, this work will be interefting and fatisfactory to thofe perfons who have not been converfant with more extenfive political and com. mercial treatifes. ART. 27. The Laws of Hamburgh, concerning Bills of Exchange, carefully copied from the Original Manufcript, in the Archives of the Senate of Hamburgh, and now firft tranflated into English, 8vo. Price 1s. 6d. Standford. 1805. This tract must be deemed of material importance in the commercial world, as it has been admitted in evidence in the court of King's Bench. It exhibits, in a perfpicuous ftyle, the laws of exchange, as adopted and obeyed in the city of Hamburgh; and the tranflator vouches for their authenticity. They confift of twenty-five articles, and are certainly worth the attention of British merchants. FOREIGN BOOKS JUST IMPORTED.
