"The valuable information with which the British Public is here enriched has been obtained in consequence of the Author having been engaged in extensive mercantile pursuits immediately connected with the Spanish Colonies in South America, the value of which is very much enhanced by the difficulty in obtain- ing it. The volume contains a very particular and detailed account of all the principal mines which are worked in this colony; and the reader will be highly gratified and instructed by its details respecting the famed settlements of the Je. suits, their origin, extent, and subversion. We are precluded by our limita from entering on the curious detail of natural history, which adds to the interest and value of this volume.”—Monthly Review, Sept. 1809.

"Some married persons, even in their marriage, do better please God,than some virgins in their state of virginity."—TAYLOR. "The author of Nubilia has sometimes surpassed Cælebs in animation, va. ciety, and elegance.-Throughout this work there is a vigorous tone of morality, a dignity, an elevation of mind.-The criticisms on Burns display much good sense, good taste, and acute discrimination on just principles of morality.-If Calebs has passed through nine editions, we should have a bad opinion of public taste if Nubilia does not pass through eight.-Whoever may be its author, it is, unquestionably, the production of an enlightened, observing, and virtuous mind, and bears internal evidence of talent and learning." Antijacobin Review, June 1809.
