REMONSTRANCE TO WINTER. . 11 j f. Montgomery. Ah ! why, ynfeeling Winter ! why Still flags thy torpid wing l Fly, melancholy season, fly, And yield the year to Spring] Spring—the young cherubim of love, An exile in disgrace, Flits o’er the scene like Noah's dove, Nor finds a resting place. When on the mountain’s azure peak, Alights her lairv form, Cold blow the winds—and dark and bleak, Around her rolls the storm. If to the valley she repair For shelter and defence, Thy wrath pursues the mourner there. And drives her, weeping thence. She seeks the lnook—the faithless brook, Of her unmindful grown, , F^els the chill magic of thy look, And lingers imo stone. She woos her embryo-flowers in vain, To rear their infant heads ! D af to her voice her flowers remain Enchanted in their beds. . History' of Virginia SKELTON JONES H AVING entered into a contract with the administrator of nic tate John D Buike ot Petersburg, proposes to complete the Fourth and Last Volume of the His>o* rjr of Virginia, left unfinished by the pc- m.ituie and unfortunate fate of Buike. SKELTON JONHS undertakes Ibis work with mingled sensations of satislacti on an.i diffidence : with satisfaction, when hope deludes him w iih du prospect of iite- rary fame—tor what generous bosom docs not heave with emotion, at die idea of ha ving las naaic transmitted with honour to a distant posterity—What enlightened mind isu t - Fir'd wtlrthe thiift which virtuous envy breeds And snvt with love of honorable deeds But when he nfleets upon the importance ot the work, winch he has undertaken to cunipo-c, he teds bu. too btiouglr the li- rrilted faculties with which it lias pleased the Godot Nature to mdow him. A Hi# toiy ot Vug.oia to commence with the A imrii an K vo.utioii, and terminate withttu adnnndilution ot Mr. Jefferson, embrace a period hi the hittory oi mankind, inure mportaiit than the huioric muse ever re corded. A seven-years war and tin email cipauon ot amw World, will Oe omy a pot of this difficult undertaking ; bicgi i phi ai bketchts of a splendid galaxy ot il luirrious heroes, ltaicfuien and patriots, mi It be ix.cuted: to no juitice to tlu lobj. et, tiicn, would require the'geui.is ot i Herodotus or a Wncy.iuiea, a Livy or a Tacitus, a Hume or a Gibbon ; it canno lien he hut with much humility of mu u, and with a trembling hand, that he <'p proai.hcs the lubject : out he has bee-n raft enough to find himself by a contract, ami lie iinift he bold enough to comply with ic. as well as be can. Q ieni si non tenuit inaguis taincit exeidn sufis. The volume if it does not ex< ted -loo pages, could eali ly be iiniffied in three monihs ; hut the au thor mult forego this advantage, in order tu bring down the work to the i xereftmg pe riod of Mr. J.fferIon’s retirement from the Prrlidctitial chair. Skelton Jones naturally relies upon the patronage of every true Virginian. The H’ftory of Virginia (if well computed) which lhall record events more important, perhaps, to the welfare of man kind, than the annals of the earth afford, written by a native Virginian, who had his birth in a land ->t freedom & independence, cannot, it would feem, but be inteteftmg to the whole community. No effential alteration will be made the conditions upon which this wdrk was originally commenced. An appendix wiil explain every thing re lative to police, literature, arts, manners, manufactures, commerce, government, na val and-military ftrength, population, pro ductions, mode of living, dec. The fourth volume will contain charters and other public papers, the ftudy of which will be equally iutcrelling to the politician and anuquary. Thofe important documents which would otherwise perilh, may be thus preferved for the benefit of pofteiity. This work will notice ibe growth and settlement of the other Gates; but to the states of Maryland, North Carolina, South- Carolina, K-ingcky, Georgia and Tennes see, it will bepeculiaily interetting, inas much as the Gift fettlement, taws, chartcis, limits and conltiiutions of thofe Gates will be accurately recorded.
