PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING A CHEAP AMERICAN EDITION
or
The Foreign Quarterly
AND
We*lminsler Review*.
ifnillE modern plan of bringing into the notice of the
JL public the vurious works issued from th
through the means of reviews, in which their beauties
or defects are pointed out, appears to be so generally
adopted in Great Britain and the United States, that an
acquaintance with the most popular periodicals of this
class has now become a positive requisite for every one
wno tnkrs an interest in the progress of general litera
ture and science. 'These Reviews not only serve what
may he termed the cream of all the publications worth
being noticed, and thus enable the reader to acquire a
knowledge of books which he may not wish to purchase
or with which hr may desire to enlarge his library, but
•hey, ot the same time, present to him the taste and
judgement of the Reviewers, who are usually men of
letters, capable not only of expressing their opinions in
appropriate language, but able to embellish their ciiti
cisms w ith sensible or profound disquisitions upon mat
ters connected with «he subjects before them. Re
views, iu fine, as conducted ni the present day, consti
lu»e a sort of ab'idgments of works which can never
reach t c great • •w*- of readers, and, at the same time,
give atone to tin* liieiatuie of a country, and a circula
tion io Knuiclaiye—the great source of naii uial pros
perity and power—which it could not otherwise attain.
The four principal Reviews now published in Great
Britain, are, the Edinburg, the Qunrterty, the Foreign
Quarterly, and the Westminster. Of the two first, an
American Edition has for many years, been published,
at Huston. Of the fast two, none has heretofore been
undertaken ; and, as they are of more recent origin
than the others, and are not so v\ell known on lhi-* side
of the Atlantic, it may be expedient to stale n few words
in relation to them. The Foreign Quarterly was cs
tablished in IS27, i-t conducted with great talent, and is
especially devoted tocrifir isms upon publications which
first appear on the Con iue«it of Europe. The Westmin
ster was commenced in J824, is edited with signal abili
y and spirit, and advocates the most liberal principles
if legislation and reform.
To the American scbo'nr and miscellaneous reader,
the possession of one or both of these Reviews, is a
great desidcra*uni; but ♦.heir cos! abroad, which is G
shillings sterling each No., amounting, ut the par o!
exchange, to $5 76 per annum for each Review, be
sides the expenses of importation, has hitherto limited
their circulation. To obviute this difficulty, is the de
sign of these proposals ; and, when the Publisher states
Hull it is his intention to furnish the two Reviews at less
than the price at which cither of them can now be procured,
he trust that lie will he considered as offering to the
patronage of the reading community a publication de
seivi"g >.f the gen* ral support. This be will he enabled
to do, in part, by having noeditorial services lo pay for,
the expense of which adds so greatly to the cost of on
original Review, and in part by the employment of
smaller type than that used m the originnls, which will
require a less quantity of paper, and thus not only re
duce the postage upon copies which go by mail, but di
miniati the number of v duincs to be bound at tho end
ofthe year.
TERMS.

From the Journal.
TO THE PUBLIC.
I linvfisecn in the“ Jovrnnl of die Times,” n
Letter, from the lion. William II. Crawlord,
addressed lo Ihe Hon. Dennis I.. Ryan, u
member ofthe present House of Representa
tives of Georgia. In whatever motive. Ihe
correspondence between Ibese gentlemen tuny
hnvc originated, it Ims for ils object, ihe de
nunciation of Gov. Lumpkin and myself, for
certain alleged inconsistencies, in iclntiou to
the great questions which now engage the at
tention of llio poople of Georgia. Upon this
tis.-oi'iation of names, I will simply remark,
ihiit if (he Resolutions adopted by (he Conven
tion of ilio People, recently assembled at Mil-
Icdgcville, have met with Ihe approbation of
Gov, Lumpkin, I have not enough ol the fee
lings of a puriiznn, lo lie dissatisfied with lliein
on ihm account—on the contrary, i( ufTords me
grutifn an.in lo believe, tlini they ham been so
(approved, by many patriotic nnd intelligent
members ofllio part*, with winch lie is associ
ated. My present business, however, is with
Mr Crnwtord’s loiter, or so much of it, iis re
lates lo hi.self. He professes to have no un
friendly feelings towards me, and slates llmt
I he relulinns In tween os have always been tiin-
icahle. Yet, In- comes, uncalled, before tho
public.—lilt bus voluntarily assumed Ilie oflieo
of an accuser, and instead of discussing the
merits of the measures adopted bv ihe Couven-
t on. for winch he chose* lo hold me responsi
ble ; he exhausts himself m a vain and finite
aliempi lo hiatcn upon mo lli.t impiilulion of
inconsistency. How far this may consist with
Mr. Crawford's notions of amity, or of amica-
ble relations, I shall not atop to enquire. On
an occasion like ibis, I am equally indisposed
to court any mini’s friendship, and lo deprecate
any mun’s enmity. In tinning with my fcllow-
cllisten* nt Athens, nnd elsewhere, 1 liavo ex
ercised ihe right of n private citizen. In pnr-
ucipniing in tho deliberations of the Conven
tion, I huve discharged my duly as one of the
delegates of the people of Monroe. For this,
the press has teemed with misrepresenta
tions of iny conduct. Anonymous scribblers
have given freo scope to th'ir malignity, and
men who, until now, h ive been implacable in
Iheir rcsenltnenl, liavo hured their ancient
feuds lo unite in Ihe denunciation of an indi
vidual, who is us indifferent to lliuir spleen, ns
they are heartless in their professions of con
fidence in cm h other. Air. Crawford lias
now dirowu his weight mm the scale of my
accusers. I u ill mu say 1h.it I do not regret
this. .Mr. Crawford’s public character bus
been a source of just pride to the people of
Georgia, and I have pnniripnled in llus foci
ing. I cannot, however, be unmindful of tlio i our records every legislative opinion on this
alike hostile to them nnd lo us. I sought
rather bv a firm, yet temperate course of ac
tionin. Georgia, to present lo S. Carolina a
position, on which she could have retired
without d -honor, nnd to all Ilie Southern
Stiles a rallying pninl, from whi'-b, without
jeopard.zing the Union, they might unitedly
and efficiently have repelled the usurpations of
which wo complain. It is my firm conviction,
Ilia! this desirable result has been prevented,
only by division among ourselves. What oth.
er evils may follow in ihe train of those dia.
sermons, which nro still so zealously fomcn.
led, time will discover ; but thus far, tho want
of union at home, lias been fatal to the bust
hopes ol patriotism.
I liavo admitted, thnt in the very act of dis
cussing nnd supporting Ilie resolution specified
hy Air. Crawford, I declared my dissent from
Ihe doclriuo of Nullification. Docs that Res
olution ihcn proclaim this doctrine ? Such is
Mr Crawford’s assertion; and he tells us,
that if this is not so, he is “no judge of tho
English language.” I liavo certainly no do-
Hire to press ilns alternative, but even at the
hazard of such n consequencei (since he wills
it.) I afiinn, tint the resolution referred to,
does not assert tlio doctrine of Nullification.
Let us see what il is, which this resolution
does iillirm : Il asserts three tilings—
1st. Tliui in a confederated Government,
Ihe powers of which aro expressly limited hy
tlio Conslitiiliun, it is essential that there
should i-X'St somewhere, a powor authorita
tively lo interpret that instrument, to decide in
the Inst resort, on iho use or abuse of tho au
thority which it confers on Iho common agon!
of the confederating States.
2nd. Tint this power cannot belong to the
agent.
3rd. That in the nhsenco of n common ar
biter,expressly designated by the Constitution,
each Stale, ns such, for itself nnd in virtuo of
ils sovereignty, is necessarily remitted to tho
exercise of.thut right.
Which ol'ilicse propositions does Mr. Craw,
fmd deny? If tho fust, then the limitations of
ihe constitution btc useless—sine* there exis's
no where » power to interpret and enforce them.
If the second—tho snnto consequence wdl
follow—for the agent who ia entrusted with Iho
execution of theao powers, will bo tho sole
judge of his own conduct.
Tlio third nflirms, that ouch Stale, for itself,
nnd in virtue ol its sovereignty, has the right
to interpret tlio Constitution—to decide in Iho
last resort, on iho use or abuse of tho powers
conferred on tlio common agent. Does Mr.
Crnwfrirtl deny this ? If so, the same consn-
queticn will still follow The limitations of
Iho CoiiNlitui'on will he n dead loiter. But if
this proposition tic denied, we must blot front

an exhibition ofllio arrogance nnd (lie acrimo
ny, which have characterised these ucciiah-
lions.
Mr. Crawford’s general chi*rpo is inconsis
tency. ilts specifications nrc two-fold.
1st. II n a-serts, lhat the 5ili Resolution ad
opted by the Convention, recognizes the doc-
Inno of Nullilieniion; nnd th.il notwiihstan-
Img this I did at Aihv’iis anti elsewhere, de

ils inihecilil).
I design io slate these charges truly, and
in all iheir force—exicnouliog noihing—sel

from the indulgence ol the feei ng, who hsiieli

ofthe Semite ofthe United Slates, the solemn
protest which we hnvo deposited there. What
is tlic language ofllio Legislature in 1827?—
“Tlley nfliini that those who create a dologtt-
led Government, have lawfully the power lo
restrain it within proper bounds.” They af
firm “ dial Iho proper constituents ofthe Gen
eral Government, are tho Slnics—and Iho
States nte to that Government, what the peo
ple nrc lo the Slates.”
In 1823, they use this language—“Tho

could have gone one step fordier. and have

I should probably have been spared the tioa-
