N Introduction to Phyfiology, beng a Courfe of Ledures upon the most important Parts of the Animal OEconomy In which, the Noture and Seat of many Difeafes is pointed out, and explained; their curative Indications fettled; and the neceffary Connexion between regular Practice, and a Knowledge of the Strudure and Uses of the Parts is evinced, and illußrated. By Malcolm Flemyng, M. D. J. Nourse, 5s.

This Work is printed in 8vo. and contains 396 Pages, divided into 28 Lectures, the Contents of which are prefixed to the fame, with a Preface, in which the Author gives us a general Account of the fame. The firft Paragraph of which is as follows.

Although many excellent Treatises on the Animal OEconomy have been published of late Years; yet a compendious Body there. of, comprised in one Volume, of a moderate Size and Price; but withal fo compre henfive as to serve, in a competent Meafure, for a Foundation, in its Kind, of a rational and regular Practice, to Readers previously inftructed in Anatomy, feemed to be still wanting in our Language; efpecially for the Ufe of Beginners; and above all, for thofe, whofe Lot it may be to practife the healing Art, at Home or Abroad, by Sea or by Land; without having had the Benefit of of an Univerfity Education; and with but a fcanty Stock of Erudition. For fuch chiefly the following Volume is calculated. But it hath been endeavoured, alío, to render it not altogether ufelefs to the more Learned and Knowing. To them it may fupply the Place of a Remembrancer, or Recapitula tion of what they have been taught before, in a fuller and more diffufed Manner.

As a farther Specimen of the Work, we fhall give an Extract from Lecture XXIII. P. 312. Of the Causes of Deafness, and the Remedies against it.

The most common Caufe of Deafnefs is an Accumulation of Wax in the external Paffage; the Remedy is diflodging it, by VOL. III.

picking or fyringing the Ear. But as the Wax is fometimes hard, and even stony, it is in that Cafe neceffary previously to drop into the Ear fome Drops of Oil of bitter Almonds, with a fmall Proportion of the chemical Oil of Anife-Seeds or Amber, di-> recting the Patient to fleep lying upon the oppofite Side; and afterwards proceed to fyringing. The proper Liquor to inject is Soap-Suds, with fome Tincture of Myrrh, or Traumatic Balfam, made Milk-warm, or fomewhat warmer. The Injection is to he puthed in gently, not to violate the Membrana Tympani.

But in all Complaints of Deafness, the Practitioner ought carefully to examine the State of the Ear; and learn whether the Patient has, or hath had, any Abfcefs in the external Meatus of the Ear affected, that might have eroded the Membrane of the Tympanum; and he should try whether it is found or not. This is done by holding a lighted Candle to the affected Ear. And if, upon a strong Effort of Exfpiration determined towards the Ears, by stopping the Mouth and Noftrils, the Flame of the Candle is fenfibly acted upon, we may conclude, the Membrane of the Tympanum to be broken; and the Hearing by the Ear irrecoverably loft. For the cold Air gets direct. ly through the Breach into the Cavity of the Tympanum; and by chilling and drying the delicate Periofteum of the little Bones, and the Membranes of the Cavity, and the fmall Mufcles, renders the Parts unfit for performing their Functions.

If the Membrane of the Tympanum be found, the Prognoftic is more favourable. But even then, we seldom can afcertain the particular Caufe of the Deafnefs: And if we could, we should be at a Lofs how to apply the Remedy indicated; as we cannot get into the inward Ear, there is little to be effectually done towards a Cure, befides dropping comfortable Things, of the oily and balsamic Kind, into the external Meatus; and keeping it warm, by plugging it with foft Wool, or Cotton attenuating

An Efay upon the prefent State of the The atre in France, England and Italy. With Reflections upon Dramatic Poetry in general, and the Characters of the principal Authors and Performers of thofe Nations. A Work abfolutely necessary to be read by every LovUT of Theatrical Exhibitions. I. Pottinger, 38.

This Book is published in 12mo, contains 220 Pages, divided into 33 Chapters, the Contents of which are prefixed, but has neither Preface or Dedication. The Title exhibits the Intention of the Author; how far his Talents are difplayed in the Execution, may in fome Measure appear from an Extract from Chap. 14. Of the Use of Tragedy, p. 67.

In my Opinion, the chief Use of the Theatre, is, to make Virtue appear amiable to Men; to use them to intereft themselves in her Favour; to give their Minds this Bias; to fet before them great Examples of Refolution and Courage, in Misfortunes; and, by that Means, to render their Sentiments ftronger, and more fublime. Hence it follows, that the Stage not only requires virtuous Characters; but, that it requires them to be virtuous in the elevated and noble Manner of Shakespear; they should confirm the Heart, and give Leffons of Cou. rage. Other Characters, virtuous likewise ; but more conformable to human Nature, in general, would too much foften and ener vate the Soul, and communicate to the Spectator, an Habit of Weakness and Dejection. We have seen, that Characters are rendered interefting, either by their Misfortunes or their Virtues; and, that they become ftill more fo, when they at once fuffer great Misfortunes, and are endowed with hining Virtues. But, how much greater muft the Effect be, if Virtue itself produces the Diftrefs? A Misfortune becomes affecting in Proportion to the Virtue of him who falls into it. In the Misfortune of Siffredi, who himself causes the Ruin of his Family, he would be much less pitied than he is, when it is confidered, that it
