PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OP PHILADELPHIA.
Publishing by Subscription , a Biography
bf the Signer* to the
Declaration of Independence.
BT
JOHN SANDERSON.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociated in tile first Congress of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
PDeclaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion which demanded the exercise of
f their wisdom and deliberations, and the in
, fl»l?nce of their councils on the interests of
[mankind, we must acknowledge that very
rarely a more imposing and magnificent
spectacle has been exhibited to the world ;
and we shall seek in vain, in the annals of
nations, for an event more worthy of com
memoration, or of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a grateful and generous
people. The love of Independence is in
terwoven with the frame and constitution of
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
timent that animates the infant’s features in
the cradle ; and amongst all the actions and
enterprizes of man, none has awakened in
to activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of his nature, none lias excited a
greater warmth of veneration, and lias more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
In those Republican States which have
been the admiration of the world, the first
tribute of genius was paid to the patriot or
hero, who promoted the cause of liberty
and maintained the independence and dig
nity ol man. • 'I he animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his 1 features from
the grasp of death, and the historian in
scribed his name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fame. It would in
deed be no favorable pressage of the per
petuity of our republican institutions, to ‘
discover au insensibility to the obligittions
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They advanc
ed us, by their magnanimity, from the inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and Irom I
the arbitrary dominion us a foreign power, i
to the distinguished elevation of a aover- !
eign and independent people ; they assert
ed and maintained the imprescriptible rights
of humanity, by the “ mutual pledge of j
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and as long as value holds herein- j
pire in the hearts of their successors, the \
example of these generous benefactors will j
not be lost to the world ; their names will I
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; of their j
glorious deeds be confounded in the coin- i
moil and casual transactions of life. Ingra
titude, i> a vice, that in nations, as well as
individuals, indicates tile last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that ]
implies tile absence of every virtue ; it was
hi the age of Caligula, that the name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ file glory of our ancestors is the light
of posterity,” and the homage of the living
cannot be offered to the merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom be achieved by men who have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and characters of j
those wilt) are marked out from the multi
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of their virtues and their re
nown. It is by reading the history of iheir
geperous and noble actions, that sympathe
tic emotions are excited in the heart; and
by a reiteration of such feelings, that gran- j
dcur of sentiment, dignity and elevation of i
SSliaracter, and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycurgus clad in ar- !
mour the statues of the Gods, that even in i
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might ;
have the image of war before their eyes ; i
observing well that the disposition of the !
mind, like a limb of the body, waj invigorat- j
ed by exercise and activity. “He inter
wove,” s.iys Plutarch, “ the praise of virtue
and the contempt oi vice ill all their pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst of honor, an
enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of I lie
mistocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with his spir
it anJ became the successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the
flame of emulation trom the deeds of his
ancestors, and hangs his hut with the em
blems of his father’s valor.
More need not to be said to enforce the
utility of the publication we have underta
ken, and which we now submit to the pa
ronage of our fellow-citizens-

PROSPECTUS
OF
& iPD^sa
IN
SIX BOOKS ,
ENTITLED
23ettcr to 23e;
By Joseph Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following extract from the “ Geoiioi*
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift of the Poem :
“The Poem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lilies each. The author’s
object seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculations
ot minds ol gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itself is not a blessing, or its continuance to
be desired. Mr. Eve, in his Poem, attempts
to show, and we believe pretty successfully,
tnat t nere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient
ourecs ot consolation in the midst of con
isicts and difficulties, to demonstrate the
ruth ot t»he title tie has chosen for hi* po
em, that it is “ Better to Be.” He endea
vors toi snow, that Providence, in continu
mg individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estimate of human happiness than
those churlish beings do, who. in the midst
ot countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for. Mr. Eve takes a survey ol hu
man life tn all its stages—of science in all its
branches—ot business in all its activity—of
creation in all its sublimity and beauty, and
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to slmw
that the Me of man, with all its vicissitudes,
has a baiance of happiness grejily in its fa
vor. The work, we are informed, will after
a snort time be put to press.”
