ROUSSEAU AND ENGLAND. Lord Morley of Blackburn, in the fifth chapter of his work on Rousseau, has a striking description of the origin, development, and effect of that publicist's essay of 1749 on the theme " Has the restoration of the sciences con- tributed to purify or to corrupt manners ? " set by the Academy of Dijon for a prize dissertation. Of this essay Grimm has left it upon record that " it made a kind of revolution " in Paris ; and the contemporary English references, therefore, are well worth collecting. Two such I append.

Read's Weekly Journal, or British- Gazetteer, for Saturday, 19 January, 1751, published the following :

" From the Paris A-la-main, Jan. 22. A Dissertation is published here, to which the Academy at Dijon has adjudged the Prize on the Question propounded, whether the Revival, or Improvement of Arts and Sciences, has con- tributed to purify or mend the Morals of Man- kind ; The Author of the Dissertation answers the Question in the Negative, and maintains his Opinion with very strong Reasons, shewing from History that Arts and Sciences have been more prejudicial than useful to sound Morality. This Piece, the Publication of which was at first prohibited, has npw a great Run : But several able Pens are preparing to confute it ; and so we hope to be entertained with a fierce Squabble about nothing, as much may be said on both Sides of this Question."

In The Penny London Post ; or, The Morning Advertiser, of the following 20-22 February which incidentally gave the erroneous item, " Private Letters from France mention the death of the famous M. Voltaire " was the following

Epigram. On the present Controversy in France, whether

Arts and Sciences have not done more

Mischief to Society than Good. Down, down with Arts, the Gallic Casuist Cries ; On Learning's Fall let first-born Ignorance rise ; Let her dull Reign return among Mankind, Immortal Science taints the human Mind : From Man to Brute strait flies the studious Vein, Hence learned French Dogs stead of learned Men.

UTTOXEIER'S FIRST BOOK. The first printer at Uttoxeter, according to Redfern's ' History ' of the town, was Robert Richards, who was said to have begun printing there about 1785 ; but the only dated production named, with the exception of an advertise- ment card, 1793, is an ' Invocation to Peace ' by " Mr. Samuel Bentley of Uttoxe- ter, March 30th, 1802." Mr. W. H. Allnutt knew of none earlier. It is therefore worth noting that an edition of Dodsley's ' Economy of Human Life ' with the imprint, " Uttoxeter
