that ( consider them superior to any workt on the

whole plan weii, and the Planter be enabled to judge
for himseifin constructing tiis House, Gear, &e., and
m selecting a Gm that is rightly made in every rtsj.tci,
and of good materials; therefore being a great saving
or gain to him, first, in cleaning uis crop in half tlie
time usually required; and in pick.ng and motemg liis
cotto* well, so as to command the highes price in
market; in the durability of hie Gin, which, if made
by the directions given, will last to p ck a thousand
bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon made Gins lo and > the ame.) And further, there
; is no risk nr danger of burning tfie House, Cotton &c.

me piospcclus io issue such a wont, devoted to
tiie sceueiy u! eicorg.a, although novel, w ilt . ndoubt
edly nod universal favor, an-, lie regarded as it is by
! 1 lie editor, a plan at once ft imilou* ami feasible.—
T.iert* is inuci, seem iv tn out- fciate. that is not sui
passtd in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other
estate in the Union 1 lie . ppor counties abound in!
stents, which need only to fit known to ccnmiund the j
aunt.ration ui afi who love the beauties of nature.
Much of the scenery of 1.. e north is interior o out
own, but is yi t visaed by dioiisauds snripty because it
has been written , sung and • lionised' ’ by autl.o sand
travellers, until us beauty l.as become universally
known and appreciated, it is desirable that alien ion
should be direct, and to out own re-ourees of the pic
turesque in natural scenery , and when this is dime, our
own and northern tourists wilt speedily render oar
beauniui views as immortal as our language
The south is charged with general uiuiii’erence to
tiie progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; ad
probably the s rougosl foundation for tfie charge is
iouiui in her inaction in tiuerpiies caicuiate.u to tusjer
these objects. Ihe publication of the proposed work
will, it is believed, be an tliiclive blow at this founda
tion, and a step towards the estab.isiirnenl ot our lit
erary reputation, to which cml much honorable effort
is now directed.
A third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, is tilt- intrinsic value ol such a publication as
“GEORGIA JLLU.-S J RATEO.” ft will embody
the representations of .he beautiful and sublime m
..i.r hfi.ue scenery, and alt Til to all, at a Intimg ex
j petist, exact pictures ol our mountains, vallies, e-aiar
•icts. public bin dings. &c., which they may or mn\
not olherwise behold, but which, in e-tther case, wouid
afftird peculiar pleasure.
‘f'lie proposed work will be executed in a style su
perior to any s-itni ar pict ral work in the country.
The piates will oe exccti.ed on steel by emimnl tn-j

press and sciiptions, prep. M-ed for the work, and in this
departnmnl Ibe editor wifi secure, us fir as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. L: !
short, no pains will be spared to mam the work a per

welcome reception not only’ ai heme but a! o abroad.
