Art. 19. Lettre du Comte de Cominges.

An Epiftle from the Count de Cominges. 8vo. Paris. 1764. We have here an heroic epiftle, written by M. Dorat, apparently in imitation of Mr. Pope's Eloifa to Abelard, but infinitely inferiour to that pathetic and beautiful poem. The ftory is this. The Count de Cominges, driven to defpair by the marriage of his mistress Adelaide, of Luffan, with the Marquis de Benavides, retired into the Abbey of La Trappe. Adelaide, on the death of her husband, made a like refolution to betake herself to a Cloifter, there to indulge her grief for the lofs of the Count her lover. Now it happened, that being one day at the church of La Trappe, fhe diftinguished the voice of her faithful Cominges among the chanters of the fervice. Upon this, the dif guifed herself in man's apparel, and, applying to the Abbot, was admitted into the Monaftery, where, falling fick, the difcovered her paffion to the Count, and expired in his arms. Cominges is fupposed to write to his mother an account of this fatal accident.

Art. 20. Precis fur l'Education des vers à Soie.

A Treatife on the Management of Silk-worms. 8vo. Tours.

This treatise it seems is compofed by the fociety of Agriculture lately eftablished at Tours; to which they were induced by the propofal of M. L'Escalopier, Intendant of that province. It is a very methodical and explicit tract, apparently containing full directions for the proper management of the filk-worm, in all its circumftances; and may therefore be useful to those who would cultivate these animals, either for pleafare or profit.

Art. 21. Traité des Miracles, &c.

A Treatife on Miracles. In which their nature, end, and use are explained; as alfo the means to diftinguish between the Miracles effected by the power of God, and the prodigies worked by the devil. 2 Vols. 12mo. Paris. 1764.

Is it not a miraculous thing, that thefe wonder-mongers will not cease plaguing the publick with their miracles? We know that the priests of the Romish church, maintain their prefent power of working occafional miracles; but we do not fee why they fhould be fo very tenacious of this privilege, fince our Author admits that the devil himself, and even his underling demons, are as dextrous at it as any of the cloth.

Art. 22. Traité des Affections vaporeufes des deux Sexes, ou Pon a táche de joindre à une Theorie folide une Pratiqué fure, fondée fur des Obfervations.

A Treatise on vapourous Affections in both Sexes; in which it is endeavoured to unite Theory with Practice, by means of proper Obfervations, By M. Pomme, jun. Doctor of PhyLic of Montpellier. 12mo. Lyons. 1764.

The Author of this treatise on the vapoars, has probably had good Opportunities of experience at Montpellier, and therefore may underftand his fubject; he is fo prolix and vapid a writer, however, that we will venture to fay, he will never fail to be called in, if he can but perfuade his patients to perufe his book. But Dr. Pomme is not the only physician whofe writings have infected his patients. How frequently do we find it neceffary for the faculty to invent a disease, în order to vend a noftrum! It is true, indeed, that fometimes the train will not take. Thus, difgufted at the propofal of having the polypus in the nofe, the public turn'd up their nofes at Dr. What-do ye-callhim's fnuff, even before it was ground. Might not the like fate have attended the Balfam of honey, had not every body been inclined to take cold at certain feafons? Nay even Valerian might have gone to the cats, had it not been fo effential to the bon ton, for the ladies to be ner
