The Author has annexed a memoir concerning the nation which at prefent inhabits Trajan's province of Dacia; this paper was published in the thirtieth volume of the 'memoirs of the academy of infcriptions; but as few readers have an opportunity of confulting fo voluminous a collection, and as the memoir is quoted in feveral places in the work before us, M. D'Anville has inferted it. He has likewife collected, with great care, and from the beft authorities, the moft material facts relating to the several states he describes, during a period of eight centuries, viz. from the fifth to the twelfth inclufive.-The work is, indeed, in every refpect, worthy of the high reputation of its Author. *Adelson et Salvini, Anecdote Anglaife, &c.-Adelfon and Salvini, an English Story, by M. D'Arnaud. 8vo. Paris. 1772. THIS is a monstrous, unnatural romance, calculated only to caft a difgrace on human nature, and to leave a gloom upon the mind of the Reader, by deceiving him into a falfe idea of his fpecies. This amongst a great deal more foreign trash of the present year, was put into our hands abroad, and we mention it only because the name of the Author, and the title of the book might poffibly induce our Readers to mis-spend their money. ART. XV. Dell' Arco Trajano in Benevento, c.-Trajan's Triumphal Arch at Beneventum, engraved and published by Charles Nolli, at Naples. Fol. 1770. TWO famous triumphal arches, of prodigious height and magnificence, were erected for Trajan, by the fenate of Rome, the first in Beneventum, when he returned into Italy from the German and the Dacian war, the other in the port of Ancona; poffibly when after the fecond and laft defeat of Decebalus, King of the Dacians, he landed in that haven, which, for the benefit of navigators, he enlarged at his own expence. There have been feveral engravings of the arch of Beneventum, but by fome accident or other no plate has appeared to attract that attention of the public, which the fingular merit of that memorable piece of architecture deferves. The plates in this collection are eight in number, exhibiting fo many diftinct fections of the triumphal arch, and executed with great exactness. The The fecond plate has prodigious beauty and magnificence. It is a plan and elevation of the front of the arch, which is wholly conftructed of Grecian marble. Between the pilafters, on each fide of the arch, are two orders of bafs-relief, with a frize of carved work in the intervals, reprefenting a rich candlestick with two winged Fames, having under their knees two victims for facrifice. Above the other bafs-relief, which takes in the height of the capitals of the columns, is a frize, in the midst of which appears another candlestick of a different form, with two affiftants for the facrifice, and two other figures with military fhields. Then comes the grand cornice of the order, with a sculptured frize, which contains a number of forall figures in full relief, reprefenting the march of the triumph. In the niches of the arch are cut, in admirable tafte, particularly on the fide looking from the city, two figures half naked, in a recumbent pofture, which reprefent a fen-river and a fountain; and between these on the central part of the arch, is a female figure, cloathed in a long garment. It is not faid what the figure is, but we apprehend from the attributes, that it must be Rome. The whole, in fhort, is extremely fine, and well worth the attention of those who have a tafte for these works of art. The plates are dedicated to Sir William Hamilton, our Envoy at Naples, who is well known for his fine tafte, and for his encouragement of the polite arts. ART.

Paris. 1772. Imported by Becket and Co. MA ADAM Riccoboni poffeffes great command over the paffions, and moves us as the pleases with refentment or pity, with love or admiration. She knows how to enter into the receffes of the human heart: and, while her fentiments are affecting, the expreffes them with a delicacy of phrafe, which adds to their force and beauty. Amidst the motly and infipid novels, which are continually publishing, both in France and England, her work fhines with fuperior and diftinguished luftre. ART. XVII.
