dernefs, without having the remoteft comprehenfion of the geogra phical fituation of the places defcribed. The prefent volume is judiciously arranged, and the maps are neatly and perfpicuously executed. We doubt not but it will answer the author's purpose, and we think it deferves encourage ment. ART. 31. London; being a complete Guide to the British Capital: containing an accurate and fuccin&t Account of its Origin, Rife, and Progrefs; the Increafe and Extent of its Buildings; its Commerce, Curiofities, Exhibitions, Amufements, Public Calamities, Religious and Charitable Foundations, Literary Establishments, Learned and Scientific Inftitutions, &c. &c.

By John Wallis. 12mo. 7s. Sherwood and Co. 1810. This Book might properly be recommended as well calculated to give a general view of the Metropolis, if the Editor had not ftepped out of his way, to make himself a party, as it were, with the mob against the managers of Covent Garden, and if he had not alfo occafionally taken opportunity to infinuate his political prejudices, which are thofe of the partizans of Burdett and Wardle. Now this was certainly travelling out of the record, though it is true, that the title-page profeffes to give a defcription of "Public Calamities," among which the exceffes above alluded to, may be reckoned. But the book, with these exceptions, will be found a compendious, ufeful, and entertaining compilation. ART. 32. Elements of Pun&uation: including effential and general Rules for pointing: with numerous, and appropriate Examples. Extracted from the admired Treatife by the late David Steel, Eq. Barrister at Law. 8vo. 15 PP. 8d. Maurice, Fenchurch Street. 1810. We are not likely to fee a better treatife on punctuation than that which was written by the late Rev. Jofeph Robertfon, who wrote alfo a Differtation on the Parian Chronicle. His little tract, originally published in 1785, went through feveral editions, but is now we believe fcarce, and not fo well known as it deferves. The prefent"Elements" may ferve very well as a fubftitute, where that Effay cannot be procured. The thing undertaken to be taught, in fact, is very fimple; and more depends upon well arranging the rules, than upon any great acutencfs in difcovering the principles. The prefent little tract is much recommended by its brevity: it reduces the whole subject to nineteen rules, which in general are plain and clear. In the third rule, we differ both from from this author, and alfo from Robertfon. In a lift of fubftantives, ftanding in appofition, when and is introduced, Robertfon omits the comma. This author does the fame with fubftantives in pairs, thus: "Intereft and ambition, honour and shame, friendfhip and enmity, gratitude and revenge, are the prime movers in all public tranfactions." Here we should point "Intereft, and ambition, honour, and fhame," &c. becaufe otherwise it muft feem that the two united without a comma, are to operate conjointly; whereas they are contraries. Alfo in this inftance," the King, the Queen, the Princeffes, and all the Royal Family," here Robertfon and Steel would omit the comma after Princesses, because and follows. We would not; and we appeal to every reader of tafte, whether the voice muft not make a paufe, equal to a comma, after that word. These trifles however are not worth much dispute.
