well qualified and honest men, and true and faithful members of the established church. The plaufible pretext on which Mr. Lancafter afts has blinded many undoubted friends of the church, and he is now bufily employed, under their aufpices, in the formation of various Seminaries fimilar to his own. I hope that you will withdraw the veil from their eyes; that you will exhort them to felect what is really ufeful from the plan of Mr. Lancaster, and at the fame time to be cautious of extending, by any mistaken notions of liberality, the wide devaftations in the established church, to which Diffenters of all denominations would willingly lead them. If a prefs of bufinefs fhould not allow your immediate attention to the fubject of this letter, and you fhould approve of my enlarging on it, I fhall readily fubmit my opinions to you, with my real fignature, if required. I am, Sir, refpe&tfully yours, A CHURCHMAN. In answer to the concluding fentence of this letter, we muft fay, that we fhall be happy in the farther communications of this friend; the value of which will be muth enhanced by the fignature of his real naine.

We have done no fuch thing; we have only mentioned a very general conjecture, as fuch, and pointed out the reafon of it. If it be erroneous, it may be eafily contradicted. Other Reviews, in fuch cafes, have generally printed the fuppofed author's name at the head of their page, but this we have not done. This would have been affixing the name. Afiaticus's Afiaticus's intimation shall be attended to, though his great caution in continuing anonymous might lead us to suppose him intereffed in the matter. Though it must appcar impoffible to an author, that his book fhould be forgotten, we fear that has been the cafe refpecting the publication mentioned by R. Enquiry, however, shall be made about it. We are affured, by a refpeftable Correspondent from Scotland, that we were mistaken, in fuppofing any part of Dr. Campbell's Lectures not to be genuine.. We beg leave to inform him in return, that our fuppofition was made fror regard to the character of Dr. Campbell; and if we were mistaken, we are forry, for the fake of the memary of fo eminentia man. The parts which we hoped were not his, feemed to us inconfiftent with his gencral character for mild. nefs and fair dealing..

Baillie, Profeffor of the Arabic and Perfian Languages, and of Mohummudan Law, in the College of Fort William. 2 Vols. 4to, Calcutta. 1802-1803. Thefe volumes contain the Arabic text, handfomely printed, of the Meeut Amel, the Shurhu Meeut Amel, the Mebah, and the Hedayut-oon Nuhve celebrated Treatifes on Grammar, which, with the principles of inflection in the Arabic language; language, form the first part of a claffical education through. out all the feminaries of Afia. Thefe Treatifes have been carefully collated with the most ancient and accurate manufcripts that could be procured in India, and Mr. Baillie is intitled to a confiderable fhare of praife for having fo ably -arranged and prepared them for the prefs. It was his original intention to comprife the whole work in two volumes, but he found it neceffary to alter his plan; and from an advertisement in the fecond volume, we understand that a third, of the fame fize, would follow in the courfe of a few months, containing the Kafeca, in Arabic, with an Appendix, a St"lection of Hiftorical, Biographical, and Miscellaneous Anecdotes in Profe, and fome Extracts from the most celebrated Arabian Poets, forming an useful and entertaining praxis for the Student, after his mind fhall have been fufficiently ftored with grammatical knowledge by an attentive peruíal of the preceding volumes. It was alfo Mr. Baillie's intention to tranflate, in a fourth volume, the general contents of the third; to prefix an account of the works comprised in the two parts now before us; and to prefent us with a biographical sketch of the celebrated authors of the Kafeea and Mefbah.-As foon as we receive these concluding volumes, we fhall offer to our readers a more particular notice of the whole work.

We have feen part of his Guliften, a celebrated Perfian compofition, printed in the original language, with a literal English tranflation, a verbal index and analyfis of every word, forming a moft ufeful claffic for the Perfian Student. An additional, and more important help to the Scholar, will be derived from Mr. Gladwin's Perfian Dictionary, a work on which he has been employed during many years, and which, there is every reafon to believe, will fupply all the deficiencies of Meninfki, Richardfon, Caftell, &c. It il-luftrates above thirty thoufand words, with examples from the bef Poets, and other writers, and, with the numerous additions to every former Dictionary, will form a larger work than Richardfon's. Mr. Gladwin is alfo employed in the publication of his Notes and Verbal Indexes to the Boston, the Behariftan, the Iyar danufh, and Abu'l-fuzl's letters, for the ufe of the Stu dents in Fort William College. |
