Economia della vita umana; tradotta dall' Inglese da L. Guidelli; Resa alla sua vera Lezione da L. Da Ponte; con una traduzion. del medesimo, in verso rimato, della settima parte, ch' ha per titolo La Religione; con varie lettere Italiane de' suoi Allievi. E con alcune Osservazioni sull' Articolo Quarto pubblicato nel North American Review, il mese d'Ottobre dell anno, 1824. Ed altre Prose e Poesie. One volume 18mo. Nuova-Jorca. Stampatori Gray e Bunce. 1825.

[This little book is well worthy the attention of students of Italian. Guidelli's translation of Dodsley is here purified of all its errors, and in its new shape, is certainly the best version of the" Economy of Human Life" that has appeared. The Osservazioni were suggested by an article in the North American Review, No. LXV. In that article (evidently the production of an able and accomplished scholar) certain exceptions and qualifications were made, in speaking of Italian literature, which are deemed by Mr. Daponte, inaccurate if not unjust. The reply is certainly forcibly and eloquently written, and shows on the part of the author a commendable zeal in behalf of the literary reputation of his country

men.

We are inclined too, to think that his defence is successfully sustained, although we must confess we saw in the article alluded to, very

little to alarm the apprehension of the most jealous lover of Italian literature. At all events, we can assure the author of the Osservazioni that in this country, a discriminate and temperate dissertation, (even when the discriminations are not absolutely free from objections) will do infinitely more to promote the cultivation of a foreign language, than an unqualified eulogium, however well merited it may be.]
