GROSSE'S ANTIQUITIES.

Two sets of this Work, as far as relates to England and Wales, have been received, in consequence_of the request made in my last Register. No other gentleman, therefore, nced trouble himself to send me that work. I shall keep these two, because two persons then can be at work at the same time. The fact is, I am getting together materials for a complete Gazetteer, or Dictionary of the Cities, Towns, Villages, and so forth of this Kingdom of England, Scotland and Ireland; and I mean to get from Mr. GROSSE the means of pointing out the local situations of the several subjects of his very valuable book. We have no work of this sort that is worth one farthing; so that I cannot, at any rate, fall short of other people in this undertaking. I feel that I dare not send out this paragraph without telling the Public, that the French Grammar is actually in the press, at last! But, let it be recollected, that such a botheration sort of a thing goes through the press but slowly.
