NEW PATENTS. JOHN LEWIS, Clothier, WILLIAM LEWIS, Dyer, and WILLIAM DAVIS, Engineer, all of Brimscomb, in the County of Gloucester; for certain Improvements on Wire Gig Mills, for the Purpose of dressing Woollen and other Cloths that may require such Process. December 19, 1817.

When woollen cloth is felted, it exhibits the same kind of surface on both sides. The object of the succeeding process, called dressing, is to produce a soft pile, or smooth downy surface, on one side, which is afterwards called the outside, or face of the cloth.

The patentees of this invention, instead of operating with teazels, or wires, in the same manner, as in the gig-mills already known, have invented a system of wires and springs which are fixed in the rings of the barrels by projecting ribs, consisting of bars or rods of metal, and strips of wood or other suitable substance.

JAMES JEFFRAY, of Glasgow, in Scotland, Professor of Anatomy in the University of Glasgow for certain Improvements in Machinery to move by Wind, Steam, Animal Strength, Water, or other Power, by means of which Boats, Barges, Ships, or other Floating-vessels may be propelled or moved in Water. March 4, 1819.

This consists in a new form of pump, to be impelled or driven by any of the usual and accustomed prime movers of machinery as aforesaid, and by means of which water or air is alternately drawn in and expelled outwards, underneath the surface of the water upon which such vessel is floating, and in a direction contrary to that in which it is intended such vessel shall move, with such adjustments as to quantity, force, and direction, as will not only give different degrees of velocity to such vessel, but likewise assist in steering, turning, or guiding the direction of the same. The apparatus is not only applicable to propelling and moving of vessels in the water, but to other useful purposes on board ship, since by a proper arrangement and disposition of cocks or valves, and suction-pipes to the working barrels, the external water may be shut off, and the barrels made to draw from the hold or lowest part of the vessel, and in this way the same may be pumped much more effectually than by any other means; and even if a leak should be sprung, the water getting into the vessel may be used for moving her; and if the apparatus be allowed to go on working after all the bilge-water is removed from the well, the air which is in and immediately over the well, and which in general is the worst in a ship, will be pumped up and be thrown out next; and as the same quantity of pure air must enter up the hatches and port-holes at every stroke, as is thrown out by the cylinders, it will be understood how the whole air in the ship must in the course of a few hours

be completely changed, especially as any number of barrels may be used that may be required, either in their separate form or connected with each other.

Baron CHARLES PHILIP DE THIERRY, late of the Parish of Saint George, Hanoversquare, Middlesex; for a Bit for Coach and Bridle Uses, which said Bit he calls, The Humane Safety-bit. Sept 20, 1819. The humane safety-bit is made with an additional bar or port, or mouth, which is so fitted upon the two cheeks of the bit as to slide thereupon, or therein; and, by the action of the curb-rein, it can be made to slide on the cheeks or in the cheeks, or separate itself from, and recede from, the other bar, port, or mouth, which goes across the horse's mouth in the usual manner, and is firmly united at the two ends, to the two cheeks of

the bit.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.

MONTHLY REGISTER.

A Catalogue of the Library of the Athenæum, Liverpool. By George Burrell, Principal Librarian. 8vo. pp. 434.

The Athenæum at Liverpool was established in the year 1798, and possesses an extensive and wellchosen collection of books. The Catalogue, now before us, is judiciously arranged under the six general classes of Theology, Belles Lettres, History, British History, Sciences and the Arts, and Jurisprudence, Government, and Politics, which are severally distributed into their appropriate divisions and subdivisions. It is rendered particularly useful by the mode which the compiler has adopted, of distinctly noticing under their proper heads such treatises as are contained in miscellaneous works, or are annexed to publications on a different subject. The contents of some valuable voluminous collections are also detailed; and a brief description of others is occasionally subjoined (the Records, particularly, published by authority of Parliament). An index supplies the convenience of alphabetic reference; and the laws and regulations of the institution, with a list of proprietors and contributors, are prefixed. While we commend the accuracy and the intelligence evinced in the compilation of this Catalogue, it is but just to notice an omission, which possibly may have arisen from mere inadvertency, though we cannot but regret its occurrence: the plan of arrangement, and all the above-mentioned peculiarities, which add utility and value to the present performance, are entirely copied from the Catalogue of the Royal Institution, digested by their librarian, Mr. Harris, without the slightest acknowledgment.

EDUCATION.

A Latin Grammar, which, from its peculiar Adaptation to the Faculties chiefly employed in the Acquisition of Language, is rendered more simple and concise than any Latin Grammar hitherto published. By an experienced Teacher,

This work professes much, but really merits attention. Several of the positions, we doubt not,

will be combated merely because they are new: such as, "That the words of the classic author should never be put out of their order." And is it not obvious, that to disorder is to destroy the language to pull down instead of building up?

"That the Egyptian task of a beginner's turning English into Latin. is productive of-not Latin, but a barbarous composition resembling it ?—That the manufacture of verses, so much toiled at, under pretext of giving a relish for the ancient Rhythmus, is a cheat on the ear, since the versifier's own recitation is at variance with his rules of melody" In short, this little book boldly attacks a host of prejudices. It threatens, too, the total expulsion of our Vocabularies, Exercises, and Nonsense-verses-books; and will leave us nothing but a dictionary and the classics.

The Private Tutor; or Thoughts upon the Love of Excelling, and the Love of Excellence.

This is an alluring title, and we opened the little volume to which it is attached with lively expectations of delight. Had it but kept its "word of promise to our hope," how rich a treat we might have enjoyed! The distinction, as we conceive, between the Love of Excelling, and the Love of Excellence, might admit of the most philosophical, refined, and interesting analysis. We are not prepared to supply the deficiencies of the publication before us but we can faintly picture to ourselves what its mode of treatment would have been, had such a text been selected by a Burke, or a Johnson. The nice shades of difference which, we can suppose, they would have gradually detected, and skilfully have separated and defined; the amusing contrasts which they would have set before us; the admirable illustrations, which, from their extensive erudition, we might have been secure of encountering; the nervous eloquence with which the whole would have been drawn up; these, united to their own dignified reflexions, and lofty flights of morality, would, indeed, have produced a book the most masterly and exquisite ! May a subject

so comprehensive, so every way worthy of falling into distinguished hands, find some champion capable of doing justice to its claims, and of realizing the sketch we have traced of what it might have been rendered.

NOVELS, ROMANCES, AND TALES. Lochiel; or the Field of Culloden, a Romance, in three volumes.

This romance is an excellent imitation of the author of Waverley's most interesting productions. It is, indeed, perhaps, scarcely fair to give it this sweeping character, for its author has rather followed in the track, and adopted the general manner of his great predecessor, than copied his particular beauties. Like him, he has interwoven great national events with private history-like him he has chosen Scotish scenery, and has chiefly portrayed Scotish characters-like him he has evinced a sympathy with the old Jacobite enthusiasm of the Highland chiefs. But his characters are original, and drawn with a free and fearless hand. His most essential inferiority to the author of Waverley consists in the comparative pettiness of his details in the want of those grand masses of interest which so expand and fill the imagination of the reader, and leave so deep and indelible an impression on the memory. But his narrative is more clearly connected, and with more natural links. His theme, as will be anticipated from the title, is the disastrous expedition of Charles Edward, which has been only partially interwoven with the narrative in Waverley. It breathes a spirit of sympathy with that gallant adventurer and his partisans, which is very pleasing, now that it must be confined to poems and romances. We would not resign our freedom for an old song or a new novel; but we have no objection to the cause of the Stuarts now that it is desperate. The subversion of civil and religious liberty was once to be dreaded in its success; but now there is nothing left but its feeling of old attachment, and the romantic darings and sufferings of its adherents. We recommend this work, therefore, for its interesting theme, and from the spirited and genial way in which it is treated.

POETRY.

Sappho; a Tragedy, in five acts, translated from the German of F. Grillparzer.

This tragedy, as appears from the translator's preface, was received with extraordinary success at the theatre of Vienna, where its youthful author was crowned with laurel on the stage, and accompanied home in triumph. It was honoured with the especial patronage of the Emperor of Austria, and performed nearly a hundred nights in succession. It has none of the usual qualities of the German drama-having neither startling paradox, nor metaphysical depth, nor even any allusions to fate regarded by the most popular German critics as essential to tragedy. In style it is copied in a great degree from the French-its whole texture being wrought of love-and its speeches long, and declamatory, though often filled with beautiful imagery and felicitous turns of expression. It has, at the same time, a festal splendor about it which is above the French taste, and is softer and more luxurious than the glory of the Greek models. Its interest arises solely out of the love of Sappho to Phaon, and his preference for Melitta, one of her slaves. The lovers fly together-but are brought back to the presence of Sappho-who, after a struggle, resolves to forgive them, and end her own life and miseries. She arrays herself in a bright purple mantle, crowns her temples with laurel, takes a golden lyre in her hand, and solemnly approaches Phaon, whom she thus addresses with affecting calmness:

I love thee; yes, thou still art dear to me,
And ever wilt; but as a fellow-traveller
With whom the chance of Fortune may unite us
For a short journey in the self-same vessel;
But that completed, each departs his way :
And yet we sometimes recollect with fondness
The pleasing, kind associate of our way.

Her voice falters-she implores Phaon, who addresses her with emotion, to be tranquil and let their parting be in peace-calls for the sacred fire to be lighted on the altar of Venus, and there kneeling, solemnly thanks the gods for the gifts of divine poesy, and implores them now to crown her. The sacred flame rises-she calls out with an air of inspiration that her prayers are heard-kisses Phaon as a friend from a far country, and Melitta as a mother-and then hurries to the altar of Venus, retires to an elevation on the shore, stretches her hands over the lovers, and precipitates herself from the rock into the sea.

The

piece would certainly have met with little success on the English stage, from the paucity of its incidents, and the length of its speeches; but, as a poem, it was well worthy of translation. As its author is young, he is undoubtedly a poet of rich promise, and we rejoice to hail his success in Vienna, which is, as yet, behind many parts of Germany in literary spirit. The translation is very elegant and faithful.

The first of these poems, "A Sketch written in the year 1814," contains a rapid and bold view of the British Commander's victorious career, from his landing in Portugal to the restoration of the Bourbons. This line of unparalleled glory is traced by the fair Writer with a glowing pen, animated by the proud feelings of a British wife, and a high spirit of poetical enthusiasm. With a generous impartiality she eulogises the principal great actions of the several Generals under the Duke; and gives to England, Ireland, and Scotland, their due share of praise.
