Were the examples of Greece and Rome to be produced as a cor.- fi;;r*aticn of this faying, we would willingly as sent to its truth. But there are circumflances tlfet aflVci the pregrtik cf literature in all coun tries, and hi modern republics more efpschUy.— The perpetual struggle to mount from that e quality es fortune, which the nature of the gov ernment impoles, thruits back the effottp, cf the Poet, and leaves unregarded the glowing touches of the Painter, The fine arts droop where no natron will protest them, nor can they find a patron till time has abundantly enriched fome adventurous and happy name- Then, when cur republic may produe fifty Medicts, (and O i thou spirit of commerce ! bring on the period fwifu ly !) the towering of the American muse fiiali equal in height the boldcft afeenfieu of her rivals, ; The encouragement that has been fliown to fonts of otar native productions, aifords an open* ring prospect fatsr.e attempts.
