By Samuel Smith Burlington, N. J. 8vo. pp. 573. The author was a native of New Jersey; his work is considered as a judicious and authentic compilation.

By Major Robert Rogers London. 8vo. pp. 264. "Major Rogers headed, with much reputation, the provincial troops called Rangers, during the whole course of what were called the French wars in America. To this brave, active, judicious officer, it is, that the public are indebted for the most satisfactory account yet published of the inte rior parts of that immense continent, which victory hath so lately added 1765. 4 JOURNALS of Major Robert Rogers; containing an account of 8vo. pp. 236. "This is but the first part of the journals of this noted American partizan. It commences in 1755, and terminates with the year 1760. The second part, which is to be printed by subscription of one guinea, will contain the author's travels among the Cherokees and the Southern Indians; his second tour into the interior country, upon the great lakes; and the Indian wars in America since 1760; together with correct plans of all the British forts upon the continent. From the specimen of the work now before us, it appears that the accounts of Major Rogers may be depended upon by the public; they are undoubtedly as authentic as they are important and necessary to those who would acquire a thorough understanding of the nature and progress of the late military operations in North America. The author writes like an honest, a sensible, and a modest man; and he has given, throughout his whole conduct, undoubted proofs that he is a brave and skilful officer." M.
