We need no evidence more signally evinfive of tlvs truth, than may be deri ved from the examples of the rr.clf enlightened and benevolent characters, v.ho have tver ente red the garden of literature to gaze upon its beauty, or to en- I-y its fragrance. We fee the Spectator frequently Tested in a clo'e room, almost obfeured by ti e thick volumes of smoke by which he is surrounded ; and we hear him introducing lrs own papers to the aitention of the company, with feme artful re mark, calculated to draw forth individual opinions, relative to their merit. Such was the art that Add son himfelf tells us lie used, in order to alcertain the popular idea with regard to his writings. Ihe poet Eawkes, while he solicits the applaules of h:s fellow men, pronounces chat the third of praile gives birth to the nobleit efforts of genius. “ Let inc not pfs without rev\ ard, 4 ‘ For Plvjcbus on each tr metul bard Some gift beftovfs ; the nobleit ia)S “Are owing to the th hll of pniife.” Almost every clicient author of celebrity has boldly avowed the anticipation of immortality. ;In ths third eclogue of Virml from which my present motto is extracted, this fubjett is copi ously treated on:—Horace re-’ peureuly descants upon the f.ure topic, and patticulariy in his “ E/egi Monutnencum m i Ovid has confidently proclaim ed, “I've now compil’d a work, which nor the rage *’ Jove, nor fire, nor (word, nor eating ave “Is able to deilroy.’* He defies even the wrath of Jovr, and Icems pcrfedtly iacis fic 1 that the latest polterny will admire his productions, and be tEiw upon them their panegyric Sappho, the lovely and harmu-j nious poetess of Le/bia was not : deficient in this general lpecies of literary vanity j for lhe has not hefitared to iing of herlelf, “ Honor’ll Sappho's mufe-emhellin.M name, •• Shull flourilii in eternity of fame.” The celebrated Roman Ora tor Tuily exclaimed aloud to his encirclinij countrymen, “ In your memories O i Romans let my glory live ; upon your tongues let it be dtfplayed ; and n the justice of your, and poite nty’s records. Let it gather lhength from time, and fiourifij in immortaliry.”—l n e celebra ted dodor Young appears to have been fully lenlible of his predominating paflion. Bufiris thus speaks, * That 1 hav * liv’d I le*ve a mark behind pluck the Alining age from vulgar time, “ And give it whole to late poikritv.” The known va..irv of Gald irrith cxpoled him often to ridi cule. i The decision of mankind, however, has proven that the j high dlimation, placed by their ! famous characters upon their in | telleclual treasures, did not ex ceed their genuine delert ; and to this general defr.c of pnile which pervades the bread of man mint be attributed char in defatigable ir.dultry, with which h.-.c j;Uifu€3 i ‘.5 c’.ifeOV-'rtC’ 1 .u • i ; - i e.of literature.

I*, encouiagcs genius to persevere >n its reiearches, and from the dark and bewildering annals of ant.quity to extradt, and unfold the rnofi faiutary truths. It cm’ bcldens valor itfelf in the con flidfs of warfare ; and gives ten fold vigor to the nervous arm of the hero. But it has sometimes actuated men to the mod desperate and dcbafmg aids. At the celebra ted Oiypic games of Rome, Re regrious plunged headlong into a heated furnace that his name might be handed to posterior a ges ; and the Temple of Diana was burnt to the earth by I.ros tratus, while the detaftabie in cendiary affigred as his reason for defiroying it, the anxiety he felt to be remembered hereafter. But such actions are viewed with abhorrence, while the in flexible virtue of a Cato is con templated with admiration, and the labors of a Horace perused with delight. Then let the fos tering arm of Lge experience, kinclv direct adventuring genius ! in its firfi elfays to reach che sane ’of the enchanting goddess.
