And what is the fee?" Five dollars!" It is well known that the western side of the Andes is very subject to earthquakes, more especially between the 20° and the 30° south, from November to April. Mr. Lambert, in the Annales de Chimie et de Physique, attempts to connect these with meteorological pheno-his Sanscrit and English Dictionary, much enlarged.-effected, offers an opportunity to a Purchaser which may never mena. The theory of the trade winds is well known; but the author remarks, that this current is reacted upon by the earth's rotation, which is greater at the equator than the poles. The wind coming from the east, discharges its vapours on the Andes; hence the deserts of Huasco, Copiapo, Atacama, Calama, and Yquique, and generally between Coquimbo and Puyter. The winds, striking against the summits of the Andes, occasion a continual disengagement of electricity in a state of tension. It accumulates from the dryness of the air, and breaks out by the air or the earth; if by the latter, it will pass by metallic veins, by humid crevices, or by courses of water. The phenomena produced by these changes, as the vibrations of the soil, the volatilisation of certain bodies, the combustion of sulphur and of anthracite, the oxidation of metals, all would only take place when the westerly wind blows, or from the month of November to April.

RECENSIO SYNOPTICA By the Rev. S. T. BLOOMFIELD, D.D. F.A.S. Of Sidney College, Cambridge, Vicar of Bisbrooke in Rutland, and Author of a New Translation of Thucydides, illustrated with very copious Notes. 3 vols. 8vo. In the foregoing Work it has been the especial aim of the author to ascertain the true interpretation, not only by a diligent use of all the best Modern Commentators, but by exploring the fountain heads of interpretation, as found in the Ancient Fathers, and the Greek Commentators, Scholiasts, and Glossographers. Every apposite illustration of phraseology or sentiment to be found in the multifarious and immense Collectanea, both of the Classical and Rabbinical Illustrators (especially Wetstein and Kypke, Lightfoot and Schortgen) has been selected, and many thousands of original ones have been added. The very valuable matter derived from the above sources has been digested into one Corpus, in which each portion is, as far as possible, ascribed to its respective author, and the foreign matter translated into English. With the whole is interwoven a Series of Critical Remarks, intended to guide the judgment of the student amidst the diversi. ties of jarring interpretations; and a very copious body of Original Annotations, in which the true reading is, in important cases, discussed, the connexion traced, the course of reasoning indicated, and in general whatever seemed necessary to complete the Corpus Exegeseos, is supplied by the editor, who has further consulted the benefit of students by forming a Series of Glossarial Notes on every word or phrase of the least difficulty, and occa sionally by giving a new literal translation, or close paraphrase of the sentences annotated on.

The Life of Mrs. Jordan; including Original Private Correspondence, and numerous Anecdotes of her Contemporaries. By James Boaden, Esq., author of "the Life of Kemble," &c. 2 vols. 8vo. London, 1830. Bull. AT one period of Mrs. Jordan's life, Mr. Boaden remarks, (Vol. II., page 236,) she "became the subject of a great variety of attacks in the infamous prints of the time-probably levelled at her purse-and conceiving the union of her daughters with two gentlemen in We shall now come to speak of the work public life a happy opportunity to work upon before us somewhat more in detail: it is a her fears or their delicacy. Among other duty we owe our readers, and we shall perform matters, they understood—(by which the it with as much fidelity and delicacy as we can. reader always understands, if he knows them, As a book, the present is as complete a spethey invented)-a violent quarrel between the cimen as we ever saw of what may be done by Duke and herself." Now, we are not Quixotic the art of amplification. All that relates to enough to stand forth for the universal pro- Mrs. Jordan in it, might be comprised in far bity, honour, and good feeling, of the press less than half of one of the volumes. In point but we must say, that this attack comes with an exceedingly ill grace from the author of 6 these volumes. "Oh, would some power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as others see us;" of fact, the Memoirs begin at the twenty-third Chapter (i. e. Vol. II., page 232,) and there are but twenty-eight in all (pages 364): the preceding personal notices are of the slightest texture consist of theatrical engagements, a Mr. Boaden would not have ventured to list of new parts, &c. of little or no interest; condemn others, while himself committing a and are swelled into bulk by stories about far more heinous offence. They slandered the every body who wrote or performed, or were living-he assails the dead; they intruded on connected with the theatres where Mrs. Jordan the privacy of the domestic circle-he violates appeared. An infinite deal of nothing, is the the sanctity of the grave. Spite, and malice, most applicable quotation which could be made and envy, and the thirst of base lucre, might to the whole;-if it be not worse than nothing, be their incentives to do the work of shame; but has he a right to reprehend them, who, to gratify the worst appetites of the multitude, exhumes the corpse after it has lain for years unmolested in the last sleep of mortality, and, heedless of the feelings which must be lacerated in his course, sacrifices them all for the gain to be derived from such a production? PRICE 8d. wit, who could scarcely read their parts, and never acquired the orthography in which they were all of them printed. We shall not therefore be surprised, that without the possibility of her receiving an expensive education, which her embarrassed parents could not afford, Mrs. Jordan acquired, almost domestically, a very correct diction in her native language, and the power of composing agreeably, in either prose or verse, with little premeditation." Her first character was Phoebe in As You like It, at Dublin; and she played there and at Cork, rejecting the addresses of a Lieutenant Doyne, who offered her marriage. In 1782 she visited England, and performed with Tate Wilkinson's company in Yorkshire (of which we hear a great deal) for about three years, with increasing fame. It was during this period that she dropped the name of Miss Francis, and assumed that of Mrs. Jordan, by which she afterwards became so celebrated as the Thalia of England. Her" swindling laugh," as it has been happily called, seems to have conquered all hearts; and the charming young actress was besieged by admirers. Mr. (afterwards Sir Richard) Ford was the most fortunate; and for nearly ten years he was the envied possessor of this prodigal gift of nature. In 1785 Mrs. Jordan made her début in the metropolis; and 1791-2, Mr. Ford* failing to accede to those legal ties which were required from him, she gave herself and all her warm affections to H. R.
