- The object of this Work is to give slight Sketches of the most striking Scenery in the County of Devon, accompanied with a Description of the most remarkable Places, and their Inhabitants. In this plan he has certainly succeeded. Many of the Sketches are most beautifully executed, and the Work must prove a valuable present to the Lovers of Painting and fine Scenery, and to those who may reside in or visit Devonshire.—Literary Journal, October, 1804.
- DRUNKEN BARNABY’s FOUR JOURNEYS to the NORTH of ENGLAND, in Latin and English Metre. A new Edition, with 7 Plates. Price 7s. boards; or, large paper, 12s.
- This is a republication of a curious little Work, originally printed in the 16th century. The Author, whoever he was, shews himself acquainted with the History, Antiquities, and Customs of every place he visits, and exhibits so much acuteness of remark, and keenness of satire, that he is evidently a Drunkard, merely in masquerade.
- A DICTIONARY of PAINTERS, from the Revival of the Art to the present period. By the Rev. M. Pilkington, A. M. A new Edition, with considerable Alterations and Additions, by Henry Fuseli, R. A. 4to. Price 1l. 16s.; or, large paper, 2l. 12s. 6d.

- In the early ages of Christianity, it was the practice to represent the fallacy of worldly pleasures, and the transitory nature of all our pursuits, by exhibiting upon the walls of the churches, and in other situations, several figures carried away by Skeletons or Deaths, in the midst of their amusements and occupations. Of this kind is the Dance of Death, painted by Holbein, and engraved by Hollar, in the sixteenth century. The Plates in this very curious and interesting Publication, thirty in number, are from the original Coppers etched by Hollar, and some of the subjects are very beautiful.—Literary Journal, June, 1804.
- ELEMENTS of SCIENCE and ART; being a familiar Introduction to NATURAL PHILOSOPHY and CHEMISTRY: together with their Application to a variety of elegant and useful Arts. By John Imison. A new Edition, considerably enlarged and improved. In 2 large vols. 8vo.; with an Index, and 32 Engravings by Lowry. Price 1l. 5s. boards.
- The first edition of this Work was reviewed by us in our 72d vol.; but it is now so greatly enlarged, that we have reviewed it as a new production; and we think its merits are considerable. There is very little in Science and Art, which the Author does not touch upon; much, therefore, evidently cannot be said upon each, but what is given is stated properly and judiciously. Its multifarious information must render this compilation useful and entertaining.—Monthly Rev. Sept. 1804.
