PROSPECTUS

& iPDissa
IN
SIX BOOKS ,
ENTITLED
better to 2&e;
By Justru Evk.
To be Published iti the City of Augusta.
Ihe following- extract from the “ Geohhia
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift of the I’oem :
" rl >e Poem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lines each. Ihe author’s
object seems to be to.combat that erroneous
A sentiment which the melancholy speculations
ot ..m<U ot gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, tliat 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,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient
sources of consolation in the midst of con
vtsicts and difficulties, to demonstrate the
ruth of the title he has chosen for hit Fo
em, that it is “ Better to Be.” tie endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continu
ing individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estimate ot human happiness than
i those churlish beings do, who, tn the midst
•al countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for, Mr. Eve takes a survey of hu
man life in all its stages—of science in all its
branches —of 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 show,
that the life of man, with all its vicissitudes,
has a balance of happiness greatly in its'fa
vor. Ihe work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press.”

PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
or THiLADELPHI A.
For Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
■ of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
Bt
JOHN SANDERSON.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the States nen, who were as
sociated in the first Congress of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion which demanded the exercise of
their wisdom and deliberations, and the in
fluence of their councils on the interests of
mankind, we must acknowledge that very
rarely a more imposing and magnificent
spectacle lias been exhibited to the world ;
and we shall seek in . vain, in the annals of
nations, for an event mure worthy of Com
memoration, or of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a grateful and generous
people The love of Independence is iti
terwovens with the frame and constitution
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
tuauiiaqi 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 has more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyraanj* and j>oi.ti©«l oppit -.*•
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 trie cause of liberty
and maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. Tile animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his features from
the grasp of death, and the historian in
scribed his name and achievementa in the
imperishable records of fame. It would in
deed be no favorable pressage of tlie - per
petuity of our republican institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They advanc
ed us, by their magnanimity, from the ingio- i
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power,
to the distinguished elevation of a sover
cign and independent people i they assert
ed and maintained the imprescriptible rights
of humanity, by llie “ mutual pledge
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and as long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the i
example of these generous benefactors will
not be lost to the worid ; their names Will
not pass away, lior be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be c ntouuded m the com
mon and ca.ual transactions.bf life. Ingra
titude, is a Vice, that in fiatioil*, as well a.,
individuals, indicates the last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies ihe absence of every virtue ; it was
m he age of Ca'igida, that the name of the
Scqitos was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ Ihe glory of our ancestors is the light
of posterity,” and the homage of the liv.r.g
cannot be offered to the merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile j
admiration. Great-and splendid actions will |
sel tun be achieved by men who have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by
cftiteinplating ttie lives and characters of
those who are marked out from the mutti
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of their virtue* and their ve- |
nown. It is by reading the history of their
generous and noble actions, that sympathe
tic emotions are excited in the heart; and
by a reiteration of such feelings, that gran
deur of sentiment, dignity anil elevation of
character, and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and continued. Lycurgus clad in ar
mour Use s'atues of the Gods, that even in
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have the image of war before their eyes ;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of the body, was invigorat
ed by exercise and activity. “ lie inter
wove,” says Plutarph, “ the praise of virtue
and the contempt of vice m all their pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst of honor, an
enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and hud
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of l'iie
mistocles; and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with Insspir
it and became tile successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the
flame of emulation from 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
vonage f our fellow-citizens*

this modern invention will entirely do away
the objection to American publication* in
that respect.
Such a work as Shakespeare, perfectly

to insure a favourable reception from the
friends of Literature, and of American cn*
terprise.
