The Gentleman's Magazine.; 4. I.e Mercure Britapique, or The British Mercury. THE hritifh Critick is a regular Review of all the works puSlifbcd in Great Britain ; it is conduced with great impartiality and abi lity, and of tfce numtrous publications of the kind which do now appe-r, and which hare appeared in Great Britain; it is uuiverfally allowed to be the best. [Price 50 Cents.] The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more con fined, as to the nature of its fubjetfs, but it certainly is not less calculated for cxtenfive uti lity. This work is divided into four depart ments: i Original Criticism—2 A Review of the other Reviews- 3 Orcafional E flays, in prose and verse—and 4th, A Monthly Summary of HP'ory and Politics Every fix months it has a supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells Irfs on fubjtlts which are merely literary a«id fcientifir, thaii on those whidi have a more immediate influence on so civfy. With a bold and mafierly hand, it cor rects the blunderings of cwor, traces the intri cate windings of mifrepreTentation, and strips off the naafk 0} hypocrily. The avowed cham pion of the church and the slate, it fpare9 ;be enemies of neither, jrhethcr open or fec;et; ands fccrning the punilanimous defenfive, up on which the friends of truth have too long ailed, it carries on a continual and vigorous offenfive warfare against anarchy, immorality, and irreligion, and thus |eftabl»flies by its uni form condudt, its right to the title it his as- fumed. [Price 50 Cents.'] 7be 'Gentleman*s Magazine, a work flapped with the approbation of three score years, con fi(|* chiefly, of communications from amiq'ii ries and cultivator?, and of original eflays, in verse and prof? written by the moll tearnrd and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing by (urns, almost every fubjeCl interesting to man. The miscellaneous part or the work is followed by a fele&ion of authentick foreign and d«e, a Bill of Mortality fifr L-ridon and its environs, a taVilc of the average prices of corn, and of the iiocks, f r every day in the month : So that th.is work must ever he entertaining and ufeful comp»nioo, not only to those who are of the learned profefiions, commonly so called, but t© the merchant, the farmer, and, in short, to fvery man, whatever may be the fubjefl of his itudy, or the objed\ of his purltoit [Price 40 Cer.ts.] Le Mrrcure Br'tamnque, or, Britijh Mercu ry ;by Munfieur Mallei lJu Pin.— [ his work, of which one number is publirtird every fcTi night, in FretKh and in EngffH, tommcnceti'in Auguit 1798, and i- continued with tncrrafing fplrit esd celebrity.
