Medicis. Among the recent announcements are Panorama d'Egypte et de Nubie; Renovation philosophique ou Exposé des vrais principes de la philosophie, by Girard de Candemberg; L'Espagne artistique et monumentale, Vol. I., a new publication by a Spanish Society of artists, intended to make known the monumental treasures of that country.

Germany.

In a recent letter to Dr. Robinson, Gesenius expresses his intention to complete his Thesaurus in 1842; he is also preparing a new edition of his Commentary on Isaiah.-A fifth edition of De Wette's Introduction to the Old Test. has appeared at Berlin, much improved and enlarged. We are informed that a font of movable hieroglyphic types has been cast at Leipsic; above 3000 of the characters are already completed. Vol. V. of Neander's History of the Christian Religion and Church is published, extending from Gregory VII. to Boniface VIII.-Dr. J. Chr. Wm. Augusti died April 28th; he had been Prof. of Theology at Jena, Breslau and Bonn successively, and author of an Introduction to the Old Test., Manual of Christian Archeology, and particularly of the Memorabilia from Christian Archeology.-Stephens' Incidents of Travel in Central America, etc., has been translated into German.

Italy.

The Chevalier Visconti has been appointed Professor of Archeology in the French Academy at Rome, in the place of the late Prof. Nibby.-From a recent account of the University of Padua, we learn that nearly all the professorships in the four faculties of Theology, Law, Medicine and Philosophy are filled. Dr. Valbusa is Prof. of Hebrew, the Exegesis of the Old Test., etc.; Dr. Agostini of Greek and the Exegesis of the New Test.; Dr. Fannio of Dogmatic Theology; Dr. Piotto of Ecclesiastical History. Intellectual and moral philosophy appears to receive but little attention.

United States.
