LITERATURE .
THE learned and benevolent Dr .

The professor ' s p lace is now supplied by Mr . Fawcett of St . John's . The " Lexicon Photii" still goes on with all the vigour of professor Person ' s mind employed on it . This work will be a very valuable acquisition
to literature . Photius was a learned Greek of the eighth century ; and his Lexicon contains extracts from various authors , whose works have long been entirely buried in oblivion . Mr . Person has the advantage of the only perfeft MS . of Photius now in being , which is in possession of the Library of Trinity College , Cambridge . ' A fourth volume of the anecdotes of distinguished persons , has just made , its appearance .
The voluminous colkaions ( 6 vol . 4 to . ) for the history of Hampshire have lately been published by Mr . Warner . Mr . "Burke is said to be preparing a reply to the different answers that have been made to his pamphlet on the subject , of his pension . The FRENCH , amid the rage of faftion and the din of arms , pay some attention to the literature of their country . The long expe & ed Natural
History of Africa , by Monsieur Vaillant , —and the posthumous works of Lavoisier the celebrated chemist , have been published in Paris , this spring , in the most splendid style . It is singular to observe the anxiety with which the Republic plunders the conquered countries of all the monuments of the fine arts , to transport them to the intended national colleaions in Paris . Asa proof of this we need only refer to the late treaty between General Buonaparte and the Duke of Parma , ' & c . in which the possession of certain p ictures make separate articles : Miss BURNEY ' S novel of " CAMILLA , " has a very numerous subscription ; and will soon make its appearance .
