As far as the whole of what was seen outside has been covered with skin, and glued together, to prevent its falling to pieces. The pegs are of course fastened on the upper board also, and the beginning of the volume is drawn upwards by them, so as always to leave the unexplored part of it resting or the ribbons by means of its own weight. The side beards have no other use than that of supporting the upper one.

FINE ARTS.

BRITISH GALLERY.

It is rumoured among the cognocenti, that his Majesty, and the noble Directors of the British Institution, with their accustomed liberality, intend to leave most of the finest pictures, particularly those by Vandyck, in the Gallery for some weeks, as exparts of the manuscripts, which the violent amples of excellence in portrait, to be copied action of the heat, combined with other acci- for the improvement of the students-prodents, has either melted together, or so com-perly the protegés of these illustrious pa

asunder entire; but these blanks are not nearly
so numerous as might be expected. The writing
of the Grecian manuscripts is so uncommonly
beautiful, that it makes the task of deciphering
them, as fast as they are unrolled, compara-
tively easy: the Latin ones are much more
difficult. The whole of the inside of the rolls is
black; but a slight difference of shade renders
the ink sufficiently perceptible. The invention
does the highest honour to the man who first
conceived the possibility of unrolling a piece

of charcoal. Millions of well-informed men
would have thought it absurd to undertake it.
"There are in all seventeen hundred manu-
scripts in the Studio, of which three hundred
are already unrolled. The eyes of all the
amateurs of classicks are anxiously turned to
the discoveries which may be made by these
means, and they are justly impatient to see the
result. Hitherto, the most valuable of the
works which have been unrolled, are a treatise
by Epicurus, and several others by his disciple
Philodemus, on music, rhetoric, virtue and
vice."

ORIGINAL POETRY.

THE BATTLE OF TOPLITZ.

[One of the most brilliant affairs of the late war was the attack on Vandamme's army, after the failure of the march against Dresden. The chief allied corps was commanded by Count Osterman; and in command of his cavalry was Prince Leopold, who was subsequently distinguished by the allied Sovereigns for his gallantry in the engagement.]

From morn to cve the shell and ball
Thunder'd on Pirna's shatter'd wall.
From corn to eve the blood, like rain,
Rau round the foot of Konigstein.
But, Toplitz, from thy granite brow
Did that day's fiercest battle glow.
Before the dawn, the musquet blaze
Burst thro' the mountain's icy haze;
And shouts and shrieks were on the air-
The work of death was doing there.
Day rose- and vast and wild the fight
Broke from the bosom of the night.
Still on the summit-crown a cloud
Hung glowing like a sulphur shroud :
There on his rock stood Osterman,
Mowing the Franks' exhaustless van :
War had no art that day untried
Along that mountain's mighty side.
Where stretch'd its brief and broken plain
The squadron gave the spur, and rein;
Where from the dell the rivulet stray'd,
Perch'd o'er its bank the mortar play'd;
Thick ramparted in groves of pine,
The yager tore the naked line;
The cottage was a fortress wall,
Mill, steeple, farm, were fought for all;
Even where the mountain vapours fell
Like twilight on the viewless dell,
There war was scen;--the yellow flash,
The trumpet's blare, the cannon's crash,
The volley thick and sudden roll'd,
Shew'd where the bold had met the bold.

'Twas evening. On the ridge of gray,
In farewell to that dreadful day,
Out beam'd the sun: the mighty glare
Laid the whole sweep of battle bare.
Still front to front, thro' hills and dells,
Down stretch'd the mighty parallels,
Exploding flame-a lava tide
Down the volcano's shatter'd side.
The lines of horse along the plain,
Like a huge serpent's doubled train,
In wave for wave and fold for fold,
Watching each other restless roll'd.

The final struggle was at hand :-
Swift as the desert's whirling sand,
Condensing deep from flank to flank,
On rush'd the squadrons of the Frank-
The battle on the mountain's brow
Was hush'd at once; all gazed below,
And all was silence, hope, and fear.
But oh the shout that smote the ear,

When, like a mighty vulture's wing,
Covering the land with gloomy swing,
Upwheel'd the Russian cuirassier.

The rank was check'd in full career.
Each paused for a moment's sullen glance-
What thoughts the heart in such moments
shrouds !

A German journal relates the following curious fact:-A young man was lately executed at Weimar, for the murder of his mistress, by throwing her into a well. The proof on which the criminal was convicted, is perhaps unparalleled in judicial annals. The unfortunate victim, finding all her supplications were vain, in a fit of despair, bit the arm of her murderer. When the body was drawn out of the well, there was found between the teeth a piece of cloth, which exactly fitted a hole in the sleeve of the criminal. Confounded by this unexpected testimony, the murderer confessed his guilt.

But the trumpet soon startled them from their distress for money, tried the expedient of giving out a report of the death of one of them, and thus extorting a remittance from his relations as funeral expences. In the Farce, the remittance is unluckily followed by the old uncle, who comes to enquire into the affairs of his deceased nephew, and who takes up his residence in the very hotel where the dead man is hiding from his creditors. This occasions the usual obvious turmoil of escapes, discoveries, distresses. and disguises. The burthen of the play fell Northern Expedition.

A violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Schivatz in the Tyrol, on the 17th ult. It moved in a direction from North to South, and did not last above a second. Almost every house in the place has been more or less damaged, and several walls have fallen down. The same shock was felt near the mountain of St. George, where several pieces of rock were detached, and hurled into the neighbouring valley. It is singular, that a phenomenon of the same kind, though attended by much more fatal consequences, took place in the Tyrol on the 17th of July 1670.

This is a very compact and useful edition of the Iliad, for the use of Schools. The force of the Particles, a distinguising beauty of the Grecian language, is well pointed out. It will be found, beyond all comparison, the best edition for the use of Schools, at present extant.---Antijacobin Review, Sept. 1819.

This is, perhaps, the most useful edition of the Monian bard, that has yet made its appearance. It is also critical in an eminent degree, and contains a judicious and well written account of the digamma; together with a dissertion upon the Homeric metre, principally selected from the writings of Professor Dunbar and Mr. R. P. Knight. The notes are partly original, and partly taken from Heyne, Clarke, and Knight. The author has judiciously enlivened the heavy, critical matter of his work by quotations from Pope's adinirable translation, and adorned it with a few paral. lel passages from the Roman Poets, and from our illus trious countryman Milton.--New Monthly Mag. Oct. 1819.

The best Text will be used, and not the Delphin, as has been erroneously stated in one of the Reviews. The Delphin Notes, Interpretatio, and the l'arious Readings, will be placed under the Text; and the Notes in the best Variorum Edition will be printed at the end of each author. The best Indices will be adopted, and carefully collated with the Text, to remove the present numerous faults in the references. The reference will be to the Book and Chapter, and not to the page, by which means the same Index will apply to all other Edi

Thus will be incorporated, as it were, the Delphin, Bipont, and Variorum Editions, the substance of the three being printed in this Edition. A finely engraved head will be given of such authors as can be procured from authentic sources. The Maps will be beautifully executed, and illustrative Wood-Cuts are inserted. The whole will be printed uniformly in octavo---each Part will average 672 pages, without reference to the conclusion of any author, so that Subscribers may bind and arrange them al phabetically or chronologically.

The work cannot be subscribed for in separate Parts or Authors, but as a whole collection.

5. HOMERI ILIAS; a new edition, with English
Notes, 12s. 6d. bound.

This is a very compact and useful edition of the Iliad, for the use of Schools. The force of the Particles, a distinguising beauty of the Grecian language, is well pointed out. It will be found, beyond all comparison, the best edition for the use of Schools, at present extant.--Antijacobin Review, Sept. 1819.

This is, perhaps, the most useful edition of the
Mæonian bard, that has yet made its appearance.
It is also critical in an eminent degree, and contains
a judicious and well written account of the digam-
ma; together with a dissertiou upon the Homeric me-
tre, principally selected from the writings of Professor
Dunbar and Mr. R. P. Knight. The notes are partly
original, and partly taken from Heyne, Clarke, and
Knight. The author has judiciously enlivened the hea-
vy, critical matter of his work by quotations from Pope's
admirable translation, and adorned it with a few paral
lel passages from the Roman Poets, and from our illus-
trious countryman Milton.---New Monthly Mag, Oct.
1819.

The Literaria Notitia from the Bipont Editions, continued to the present time, will be added. Thus will be incorporated, as it were, the Delphin, Bipont,

The Maps will be beautifully executed, and ilInstrative Wood Cuts are inserted. The whole will be priated uniformly in octavo---each Part will average 672 pages, without reference to the conclusion of any author, so that Subscribers may bind and arrange them alphabetically or chronologically. The whole will make about 120 to 130 Parts---and twelve will be printed in the year. To be paid for on delivery. The work cannot be subscribed for in separate Parts or Authors, but as a whole collection. As some Gentlemen have not yet sent their names as Subscribers, on the supposition that the Work will hereafter be offered for sale at a lower price, Mr. Valpy begs to state, that to prevent depreciation, he has purposely printed but very few copies over the present subscription (37) large and small).
