PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
or pauiDELPRiA.
Fur Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BT
JO BY SANDERSON.
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 tp the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion winch 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 ;
*and we shall se k in vain, in the annals of
Rations, 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 a id constitution
the human mind. It is a.most 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 hits excited a
greater warmth of veneration,'and has more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
i 1» those Republican States which have I
’ been the admiration of the world, the first I
tribute of genius was paid to the patriot or i
hero, who promoted the cause of liberty j
and 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- j
scribed his name and achievements in the !
imperishable records of fame. It would in- 1
deed be no favorable pressage of the per- j
petuity of our republican institutions, to :
discover an insensibility to the obligations ,
we owe the memory of the illustrious pal- |
rons of American freedom. They adva ic- I
ed us, by their mag .auimity, from the inglo- j
rious state of colonial subjection, and /rum I
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power, I
to the distinguished elevation of a sover
eigu and independent people ; they asser
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by tne “ mutual pledge of
their fives, their fortunes, a id their sacred
honor and as long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of tueic successors, the
example of tfiese generous benefactors will
not be lost to tne world ; their names will
not pass away, nor be forgotten j or their
glorious deeds be confounded in the com
mon and casual transactions of life. Ingru- j
titu.le, is a vice, that in nations, as well as
individuals, indicates the last degfte 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, brouglv death on its possessor.
“ The glory of our ancestors is the light
of posterity.” arid the homage of the living
cannot he offered to tile merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Grea' and splendid actions will
seldom be acmeved by men w 10 have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and characters of
those who are marked out from me muiti
cude by their eminent qualities, that we oe
noine emulous of their Virtues and their re
gown. It is by reading the history of their
tenerous and noble actions, that sympatne
ic emotions are excite:! in the heart; and
ty a reiteration if such feelings, that gran
bear of sentiment, dignity and elevation of
character, and habits of viit-ue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycurg is clad in ar
mour the s.atues of the Gods, that even In
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have tne image of war before tlieif eyes;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of the body, was invigorat
ed by exercise- and activity. “He inter
wove,” says P utaren, “ 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
nthmia us bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
Os Miltiades interrupted the sleep of The
mistocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, Was fir <1 with hisspir
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 be 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-
CONDITIONS.

PROSPECTUS
OF
SIX BOOKS,
ENTITLED
better to 23c:
By Joseph Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
Hie following extract from the “ Georgia
Advebtiseii,” will elucidate theprincipa
and drift o the Poem
“ The Poem 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 of gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
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
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 costinu
,ng individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estimate of tinman happiness than
those churlish beings do, who, in the midst
ot countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for. Mr. Eve takes a survey oflui
man life- in all its stages—of science m all its
j branches—of business in all its activity—of
mention in all its sublimity and beauty, and
under various views, and many animated
i descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
[ that the life of man, with alt its vicissitudes,
j has a balance of happiness greatly in its fa
vor. Ihe work, we are informed, will after
j a sllorl dme be put to press.”
I TERMS,
j The above Poem will be printed or. verv
: fine paper, and in an elegance ot style not
! inferior to the handsomest northern publica-
I lions.
j It will be comprised in one volume, con
j tabling about 200 duodecimo pages.
| Ine price to Subscribers will he one dol
! lar half bound-or vne dollar and a half full
! fimind in a superior Myle, payable on delive
ry of the volume.
'X? Every person who shall procure twelve
subscribers, and become answerable for the
payment, will be entitled to an additional
. copy.
fT The Proposals for the above work, are
left at the different Book Stores in this City
Augusta, November.

STKttEOiTI’E EDITIONS OF THE
DRAMATIC WORKS
OF SHAKESPEARE,
IN TWO SIZES,
Octavo and Duodecimo.
STFjREOTYFE Editions come strongly
recommended to the public, particular- j
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 Shaxespf.are, perfectly
cree from error, and otherwise 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 ire not sa
tisfied that the books, when delivered are as
•good as represented, they shall be under no
obligations to take them.
They will be delivered early next fall ;
and at from JJ2 to 5 per sett, lower than
w'nat the S TORE retail price will be for the
same work.
Persons wishing to be supplied with ele
gant copies of the above celebrated works,
are requested to call and view the speci
mens of binding, &c. at the store of
