PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
For Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
o f the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BT
JOILY SANDERSON.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the States nen, who were ■ as
Hocia'.ed in the first Congress of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration ot' 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 has been exhibited to the world ;
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
terwovens with the frame aid constitution
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
fo activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of iiis nature, none has excited a
greater warmth of veneration, and has more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
ui ui.
In those Republican States which have
the admi'ation of the world, the first I
tribute of genius was paid to tlie patriot or
Lem, who promoted the cause of liberty
aid maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. The animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his 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 pre-sage of the per
petuity of our republican institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations
we owe tile memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They advanc
ed us, b> cieir magnanimity, from the inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power,
to tne distinguished elevation of a sover
eign a . i independent people ; they asser
eu am. maintained the imprescriptible right
ol u unanity, by the “ mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and as long as virtue holds herem
piro ju the hearts of their successors, the
, example of these generous benefactors will
not be mst to the world ; their names will
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds he c oifouuJed in tue cum- |
mo.i and carnal transactions of life, Ingi/a- ,
thuds, is a vice, that in nations, as well as I
individuals, indicates the last degree of tie- I
generaoy aid corruption- It is a vice that j
thfblies the absence or every virtue ; it was i
m the age ot Caligula, that the name of the
Scipius was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ The glory of our ancestors is the light
of posierity,” and the homage of the living
cannot he 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
those who are marked out from the multi
cude by their eminent qualities, that we be
nome emulous of their virtues and their re
gown. It is by reading the history of their
tenerou- ami nobie actions, that sympathe
ic emotions are excited in the heart; and
ty a reiteration of sucli feelings, that grail
bear of sentiment, dignity and elevation of
character, and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycurgus clad in ar
mour the statues of the Gods, That even in
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have tne image of war before their eyes ;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of the body, was iiVvigorat
ed by exercise and activity. “He inter
wove,” says Plutarch, “ the praise of virtue
and the contempt of vice in all their pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst of honor, an
ntnnsiauisr bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of The
mistocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with his spir
it and became the 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.

bitiuty of toe publication we have underta
ken, and which we now submit to the pa
eronage f our fellow-citizens-

SIX BOOKS,
entitled
better to 23c:
By JosEru Eve.
To be Published in the City of Au gusta
rile following extract from the “ Geoiigia
Adveutiseh,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the I'oem :
** 1 be Koem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lines each, the author's
object seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculations
of minds ot gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so fur
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
source* of consolation in the midst of con
victs and difficulties, to demonstrate the
truth ol the title he lias chosen for his Po
em, that it is “ Betteh to Be.” He endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continu
ing individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estimate of human happiness than
those churlish beings do, who, in tile midst
ol countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for. Mr. Evs takes a survey of hu
man ble in all its stages—of science in all its
b ranches—of business in all its activity—of
creation in all its sublimity and beamy, mid
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that the lile 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,”
TERMS.
The above Poem will be printed or. verv
fine paper, and in an elegance hi style not
inferior to the handsomest northern publica
tions.
It will be comprised in one volume, con
taining about 200 duodecimo pages.
The price to Subscribers will lie one dol
lar half bound—or vue dollar and a half full
bound in a superior style, payable on delive
ry of the volume.
fi 7T Every person who shall procure twelve
subscribers, and become answerable for the
payment, will be entitled to an additional

STEREOTYPE Editions come strongly
recommended to the public, particular
ly on account of correctness —consequently
this modern invention will entirely do away
the objection to American publications in
that respect'.
Such a work as Shak.espe.ihe, perfectly
. crec from error, and otnerwise well exe
cuted, together with the adventitious cir
fumstances of ornament, needs little beside
to insure a favourable reception from the
friends of Literature, and of American en
terprise.
The Subscribers are authorized to receive
subscriptions for the above, and assure their
friends, and the public generally, that they
will use their best exertions to satisfy those
who may subscribe; that they shall not, as
has been too frequently the case, be impos
ed upon by works published by subscription,
and in every case in which they are not sa
tisfied that the books, when delivered are as
good as represented, they shall be under no i
obligations to take them.
They w ill be delivered early next fall ;
