PROSPECTUS

IN
SIX BOOKS ,
ENTITLED
better to
By Joskpii Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
Ihe following extract from the “ Georgia
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principa
and drift o the Poem :
“ I'he 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
l'.fftif 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 co isolation 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
bri irties—of business in all its activity—of
crettion 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, wili after
a short time be put to press.”

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 Shakespeare, 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
f.'J-mdg, and the public geneially, that they
will use their best exertions to satisfy those
who may subscribe; that they shall not, as
lias been too frequently the case, be impos
ed upon by works published by subscription,
and in every case in which they are not sa

good as represented, they shall be under no

They will be delivered early next fall;

PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SNDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA*
(For Publishing by Subscription , a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaratiou of Independence.
BT
JOHN SANDE R S ON,
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 heen 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.
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 ; and amongst all the actions and
enterprises of man, none has awakened in
to activity a greater exertion oi the virtuous
energies of his nature, none has excited a
greater warmth of veneration, and has 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 anti 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 hi the
imperishable records of fame. It would in
deed be no favorable presage of the per
petuity of our republican institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations !
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat- ,
rous of American freedom. They advanc- |
ed u 9, 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 sover
eign ami independent people : they asser
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by the “ mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
hop or i” and as long as virtue holds herein- J
pire in the hearts of tjieir successors, the
exarnole of these generous benefactors will
not W; lost to the world ; their names wilt
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be Confounded in the con
moii and casual transactions of life. Ingra
titude, is a vice, that in nations, as wed as
individuals, indicates tile last degree til de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies lire absence of eyery virtue ; it w.s
in the age of Caiigula, 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 offeved 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
norae emulous of their virtues aiui their re
gown. It is by reading the history of their
tenerous and noble actions, that sympathe
ic emotions are excited in the heart; and
ty a reiteration of such feelings, that gran
beur 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 the image of war before their eyes ;
observing, well that the disposition of the
mi net, like a limb of the body, was invigorat
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, all
nthusiauts 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, ami 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-
