Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monthly Review, or Literary Journal, Enlarged, Vol. 71: From May to August, Inclusive, 1813; With an Appendix Ponderous as are many of the volumes through which we are doomed to travel, we have seldom met with a production of more formidable appearance than the present. The subjects discussed are, in course, many and various. They may be briefly enumerated under the following heads: Vol.1. Climate, Soil, Rural Economy, Rivers, Canals, Roads, Harbours, Ma nufactures. - Vol. II. Foreign Commerce, Fisheries, Paper Currency, Revenue, Local Government; State of Education and Religion; Population; with observations, at great length, on what many readers may deem the most entertaining part of the whole, National Manners. To literary fame, Mr. W. Expressly declines any pretensions: but a rigid critic will be apt to doubt his sincerity, and to con strue the extraordinary superabundance of quotations from various languages into an indirect call on his readers for a title to the character of extensive erudition. In another point, Mr. W.'s candour will be less distrusted. We allude tothe passage (introduction, p. A.) in which he represents his woi'h rather as a store-house of materials than as an arranged and digested composition. His friends, he says, were urgent for its early production; a feeling which, whether exists in an author or in those who have influence over him.
