PROSPECTUS
OF
£s IPvD&Sa
SIX BOOKS,
ENTITLED
better to 25e:
By Joseph Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
-’he following extract from the “ Geomia
Advertise®,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the Poem :
“The Poem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to live hundred lines each. The author's
object seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculations
of.) inds of gloomy sensibility have inculca
teu, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itselfisnota blessing, or its continuance to
be desired. Mr. Evt, in his Poem, attempts
trJ show, and we believe pretty successfully,
irtat tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient ~
sources of consolation in the midst of con
victs and difficulties, to demonstrate the
truth of the title he has chosen for his Po
em, that it is “ Better 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 the midst
of 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
O lder various views, and many animated
(Inscriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
til'll the life of m an, with all its vicissitudes,
has a balance of bap?., ness greatly in its fa
vor. fnc work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press.”

PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
For Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
B t
JOHN saxdersojv.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the Statesmen, 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 has been exinbited 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
1 people. The love of Independence is in
terwovens with the frame and constitution
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
timent that animates the infant’s features in
the cradle j and amongst all the actions and
enterprizes of man, none lias awakened in
to activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of iiis nature, none has 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 ot genius was paid to the patriot or
hero, who promoted tiie cause of liberty
aid maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. The animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his features from
tiie grasp of death, ami the historian in
scribe!} his name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fame. It would in
deed he no favorable pressage of the 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 inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power,
to the distinguished elevation of a sever
eign and independent people ; they assur
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by ttie •• mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and as long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the
example of these generous benefactors will
not be lost to the world ; their names will
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be confounded in the com
mon and casual transactions of life. Ingra
titude, is a vice, that in nations, as well as
individuals, indicates the last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies the absence of every virtue ; it was
in the age of Caligula, that the name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ The 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
those who are marked out from the multi
cude by their eminent qualities, that we be
nome emulous of their virtues arid their re
gown. It is by reading the history of their
tenerous and noble actions, that sympatlic
ic emotions are excited in the heart; and
ty a reiteration of such feelings, that gran
beur of sentiment, dignity and eisvalion of
character, and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycttrgus clad in ar
mour the statues 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. “ (le 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
nthusiauis bordering on insanity, arid had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Mritiades 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.
More need not to he said to enforce the
utility of the publication we have underta
ken, and which we now submit to the pa
eronage f our fellow-citizens-
