PRO PATRIA. ART. I. Indian Antiquities, or Differtations relative to the antient geographical Divifions, the pure Syftem of primeval Theology, the Grand Code of Civil Laws, the original Form of Govern ment, and the various and profound Literature of Hindoftan.

TH HIS elaborate performance appears fo highly important, and fo truly to deferve the countenance of the public, that we are induced to believe our readers will readily excufe a more extended investigation of it, than we shall ufually afford to two octavo volumes, being all that Mr. Maurice has yet published. The fcene which the title page prefents, is fo vaft and fo magnificent, that although we contemplated the fpacious prospect with delight, we feared that the ftrength and ability of an unaffifted individual could not fuffice to perfect the extenfive plan. Our anxiety however was foon relieved, and we had not proceeded far in the work, when we found that the genius and learning of Mr. Maurice were equal to his industry, and that the difcerning curiosity of the public would doubtless be fully fatisfied. Without taking up our reader's time with any general remarks, we shall immediately enter upon our duty, hoping that the learned author will not impute to us any thing of afperity, BRIT. CRIT. VOL. I.
