the naval and military profeffions. How the requifite funds are to be provided for fuch a large increase to the permanent expenditure, is a problem which would not prove fo eafy of folution to Minifters as it feems to be to this author. His intention is, however, meritorious; and certainly every plan that promifes the attainment of so desirable an object as the fpeedy increase of our fea and land forces, deferves a candid confideration. ART. 51. Paterfon's Roads, in a pocket Size, for the Convenience of Travellers on Horfeback, &c. Sc. s. Longman and Co. 1804. This is an abftract or epitome of Colonel Paterfon's' Defcription of the Roads (referred to in Art. IX.) comprising the whole of the roads, and omitting the gentlemens' feats, and other matter of mere curiofity. It is printed in this portable fize at the fuggeftion of perfons in bufinels who travel the country, (called riders) and for whofe ufe it appears to be extremely well calculated. The reduction is principally effected by a fmaller type, and it is moft neatly and accurately printed. ART. 52. A new Italian Grammar, in English and Italian, en a Plan different from any hitherto published; painting out, in a clear concise Manner, the best Rules and the easiest Method for the Attainment of that elegant and harmonious Language, equally calculated for the Use of Schools and private Inftruction. By Gaetano Ravizzotti, Teacher of Languages, Author of a Viridarium Latinum, or a Latin Collection of about Nine Hundred elegant Extracts, tranflated into Italian and French, and annexed to the Latin; a Collection of Spanish Poetry, to which is added, an ample Gloffary, in English and in Spanish, for the Understanding of the most difficult Words and Phrafes; and of an Ita lian and English Introduction to this Grammar, &c. Sc. Dedicated to the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Palmerston. Third Edition, carefully corrected, and confiderably improved. Crown 8vo. 510 pp. 7s. 6d. Mawman, &c. &c. 1805. Mr. Ravizzotti goes on improving his Italian Grammar, nor is it our business or intention to keep pace with the various editions of an approved work. This, however, is confiderably augmented, fince we noticed it before*. They who prefer ftudying Italian with a French grammar, will doubtlefs have recourfe to Mr. Zotti +; where English is thought more eligible as a vehicle of inftruction, the prefent author will be chofen. It appears to us that the lift of poetical licences, an aid very neceffary for the young ftudent in Italian, is here particularly copious and ufeful. The concluding part of this grammar, in the former editions, confifted of a fhort introduction to geography; but confidering that profeffed treatifes on that fubject are better adapted to the purposes of inftruction, the author has now fubstituted, what he calls practical leffons, which commence at page 466. These confift of dialogues on the fubjects of Italian grammar, and are particularly calculated to fuggeft to the teacher an advantageous method of inftructing his pupils. The book has much merit and utility. Brit. Crit. vol. xiv. p. 449. MONTHLY MONTHLY LIST OF PUBLICATIONS. DIVINITY.
