AUGUSTA HERALD. Vol. XXITI No. 17- PROSPECTUS OF ii s>©a&m 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.” TERMS. The above Poc-m will be printed or. very fine paper, and in an elegance of style not inferior to the handsomest northern publica tions.

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- CONDITIONS.
