The private tutor to the British youth: Who may by this and another little book soon to follow, not only be duly prepared for entering upon their classical studies; but also attended and kindly guided through the ordinary system and course of them from beginning to end; having all needful assistance given them in the class or closet, abroad or at home, in a more familiar, plain, easy, expeditious, and successful method, than any that has yet appeared: being also exceedingly well calculated for private gentlemen desirous of retaining, reviving, or acquiring a tolerable knowledge of the Latin authors, by their own application alone. This book contains six hundred selected sentences, all either moral, religious, or proverbial, reduced to the natural order of construction, properly accented, literally translated, and divided into short lessons, under each of which the words are parsed. To these are added some mottos. For the use of schools. By John Stirling, D.D.

On the thirty-first of March, 1794, was published in one volume, royal quarto, price two guineas in boards, a physiological, theoretic and practical treatise on the important utility and salutary effects of the science of muscular action; Accompained with plain and accurate descriptions of the muscles of the human body; in various and different points of view, distinctly shewing their respective motions as produced by means of a peculiar and well-adapted apparatus for restoring the power, action and strength of the limbs, whether disabled by gout, rheumatism, colds, paralytic causes, chronic affections, contractions, or sprains, or weakened by other accidents. The use of this apparatus will be found peculiarly beneficial for promoting the regular tone of muscles, and re-establishing the health of sedentary persons; and will prove useful for children of weak, rickety and protuberant joints. Confirmed by several well-authenticated cases. The whole illustrated by fifteen elegant copper-plates. By John Pugh, anatomist. The representations of the muscles are drawn and engraved by Mr. Kirk, under the immediate directions of the author. Printed for C. Dilly, in the Poultry; sold also by Johnson, St. Paul's Church-yard; Shepperson and Reynolds, No. 137, Oxford-road; Debrett, Piccadilly; and Bull and Hensley, Bath.
