thole who are acquainted with
the merits of this work, little need be said to
becommend it It is calculated to inlpire every
pious, every virtuous fentiment:—to fill the mind
with an awful reve ence and love of the Great and
ncomprehenfible GOD and FATHER of all ;
with the fublimell and most fervent gratitude to
our gracious REDEEMER, and a pmfeft detesta
tion and abhorrence of all vice. In a woid, it
claims tne patronage of all who do not blush at
owning themfclves Christians, and at paying a hum
ble obedience to the King ofKings.
This piecte of religious and moral painting has
obtained Mr. Klopftock the honor of being efleein
ed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as
haying compleated what that favorite son of the
Britilhmufe had left unfiniflied.—The beauties of

is universally allowed to fall much below this work,
and is acknowledged to be deficient in that un;
bounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and
variety of charafters, which diftingui(h the rigorous
efforts of Mr. Klopftock’s genius.
The Mefliah is formed upon an extensive and
important plan, and includes the luffenngs, death,
and refurreftion of Christ-

Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY*.
7 HE Illinois country is in general of a fupcricr
foil to any other part of North America that I
have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar,
mulberry trees, &c. fom,e dying roots and medici
nal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and
in the year .1769, one hundred and ten hogLheads
of strong wine, were made by the French fettiecs,
fiom these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is
also annually made from the juice of the maple
tree ; and as the mulberry trees are large and nu
merous, I prefurne the making of (ilk will employ
the attention and industry of the fettiers, when the
country is moie fully inhabited than it is at prefent*
and etyecially as the winters are much more mode
rate and favourable for the breed of silk worms,
than they are in many of the sea coast provinces.
Indigo may likewise be fuccefsfully cultivated—
(but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat,
teas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every
fort of grain and puife, that is produced in any ot
he old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are
also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois,
both for their own consumption and that of the
Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to
Europe. Hemp grows tyontanepufly, and is of »
good texture ; ns common height is 10 feet, an£
its thickneft three inches (the latter reckoned withia
about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any
quantity may be cultivated. Flax feed has hither
to been only raised in small quantities. There has
however been enough produced to (hew, that is
may be (own to the greatest advantage. Apples,
pears, peaches, and all other European fruits suc
ceed admiiably. Iron, copper, and lead mines,
as also fait tyrings, have been difeovered in dif
ferent parts of this territory. The two latter are
worked on the Spanith fide of the Miflifippi, with,
considerable advantage to the owners. I'herc U
plenty of fifli in the rivers, particularly Cat, Ca?>? >
and Perch, of an uncommon fize.—Savannahs, ot
natural meadows, are both numerous, and exten
sive ; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great
herds of buffaloe, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geele,fwansy
cranes, pelicans, Turkies, pheasants, partrig.es, &c.
such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in
the greatest variety and abundance.—ln short, eve
ry thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be
found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
