"Certe potest dici de istis, quod de Graecis insultantibus
Hectori jam mortuo dixit Homerus, quod _leoni mortuo etiam

_Author of "Literary Leisure_."--Can any of your readers inform me of
the name of the author of _Literary Leisure_, published by Miller,
Old Bond Street, 1802, in 2 volumes? It purports to have come out in
weekly parts, of which the first is dated Sept. 26. 1799. It contains
many interesting papers in prose and verse: it is dedicated to the
Editors of the _Monthly Review_. The motto in the title-page is--
"Saiva res est: philosophatur quoque jam;
Quod erat ei nomen? Thesaurochrysonicochrysides."--Plautus.
Is the work noticed in the _Monthly Review_, about that time?
NEMO.
