Synopsis
The Monthly Review, edited by Ralph Griffiths, compiles a broad, cross-disciplinary digest of late?18th?century publications in its September 1790 issue (Part 3 of 4). The discourse covers physics, chemistry, geology, ethics, history, geography, and political economy, with analytical critique that emphasizes method, evidence, and the implications of new ideas. Major reviews address Ingenhousz’s natural philosophy experiments on air and life, ethical debates in Virraume’s Origin and Design of Evil, and Van Swinden’s Elements of Geometry as an exemplary pedagogical text. Geography and antiquarian topics appear in Gosse Lin’s critiqued geographies of the Greeks, alongside Bur tin and De Luc/Hutton debates on the age of the globe. Natural history, mineralogy, and anatomy are surveyed through Memoirs on cetacean anatomy, bioluminescence, and Alpine fauna; while the Lausanne Philosophical Society and the Richelieu memoirs frame science in civic and political contexts. The Local Summary highlights Pilkington’s Derbyshire survey and Ingenhousz’s foreign literature entry, with supplementary notes on Shetland wool and related works. Overall, the issue showcases persistent curiosity, empirical rigor, and cross?disciplinary dialogue across science, literature, and public life.
