Mr. Ezra Sargeant of New York has A Tranflation, with Notes, of the Third in the prefs, in one volume duodecimo, Satire of Juvenal. To which are added, Mifcellaneous Poems, original and tranflated. By a young gentleman of very promifing talents of that city. A new thermometer has been invent ed for registering the higheft and lowest temperatures in the abfence of the ob ferver, which is faid to be a more fimple, as well as a lefs expensive, inftru ment than Six's thermometer. It confifts in two thermometers, one mercurial, and the other of alkohols, having three ftems horizontal. The former has for its index a fmall piece of magnetical steel wire, and the latter a minute thread of glafs, having its two ends formed into Imall knobs by fufion in the flame of a candle. The magnetical bit of wire lies in the vacant space of the mercurial thermometer, and is pushed forward by the mercury whenever the temperature rifes and pushes that fluid against it; but when the temperature falls, and the fluid retires, this index is left behind, and bit of glafs, lies in the tube of the spiritfhews the maximum. The other index, or thermometer, immerfed in the alkohol, and when the spirit retires by the deprefion of temperature, the index is carried along with it in apparent contact with its interiour furface; but on increase of temperature the fpirit goes forward and leaves the index behind, which therefore fhews the minimum of temperature fince it was fet. The steel index is eafily brought to the mercury by applying a magnet on the outfide of the tube, and the other is properly placed at the end of the column alkohol by inclining the whole inftrument. and North American Museum. This work is intended to be equally useful and entertaining to the readers of both nations. From a plan like this, the American citizen will be furnished monthly with the literary, commercial, and political ftate of Great Britain; while, in the fame number, he may meet with domeftick occurrences, which have not been noticed, even by his own diurnal prints. The English reader, too, far removed from his native land, may calculate upon equal advantages; for, befides every thing neceffary for his information that can be found in London periodical publications, he will be gratified with ERRATUM. In page 291, first column, 6 a minute defcription of a country, rapid- line from bottom for patious read paffion. |
