SIX BOOKS ,
ENTITLED
better to 23e:
By Joseph Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
l'lie following extract from the “ Georgia
Advertiser,” will elucidate theprincipa
and drift o tile 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 indsot gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itself is not a blessing, or its continuance to
be Aesired. Mr. Eve, in his Poem, attempts
to show, and we believe pretty successfully,
that mere 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. Vlr. Eve takes a survey of hu
nia i 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
various views, and many animated
■descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that tuc life of man, with all its vicissitudes,
has a balance of happiness greatly in its IV
vor. Ihe work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press."

Such a work *s Shakespeare, perfectly
