The protes t,
Which every man addicted to Drun
kencss ought to make and adhere to,
I protest that no more I'll get drurk—
* Tin i tie curse mid the plague of my life
It ruin* my credit, my health and my purse,
IWy peace and my comfort; and what is
still worse,
It vexes and angers my wife.
I protest that no more I'll get drunk,
It torments and embitters my life.
To ruin ‘twould hurry its vot’ry headlong
And reason declares that I'm quite in the
wrong.
And so do the tears of my wife.

3ut when he reflects upon the importance
of the work, which he has undertaken to

mited faculties with which it has pleased
he God of Nature to endow him. A His
tory of Virginia to commence with the A

adm n ltration of Mr. JefTerson, embraces
a period iu the hiltory of mankind, more
important than the hiltoric muse ever re
corded. A seven-years war and the eman
cipation of anew world, will be only a
part of this difficult undertaking ; biogra
phical sketches of a splendid galaxy of it
iuftrious heroes, ftatefinen and patriots-,

fubject, then, would require the genius of
a Herodotus or a Thucydides, a Livy or a
Tacitus, a Hunae or a Gibuon ; it cannot
then be but with much humility of mind,
and with a trembling hand, that he ap
proaches the fubject : but he has been rath
