NO more the village cock (hall hail the morn,
Nt> fearing laik her early mattins sing ;
No more (hall ffow’rets grace the verdant lawn,
Spicad forth then bloom, or beautify the spring.
Li t pcllilcmial horror fprrad his reign,
Let the loud thundering bolts around be hurl’d,
Join the fotk’d lightning with its fiery train,
And into nothing pulverize the world.
Ye howling wolves come join th’elegiac lay,
Ye ravens, rooksand daws, assist the notes ;
Ye asses with your lungs of leather bray, [throat,
And midnight cats firetch wide your wawhng
Ye beaux and belles who flirt it in the mall,
Your powder, puffs,your paint and drops throw by,
Let giief and furrow now your minds enthral,
And wat’ry currents dream fromcv’ry eye.
Ye bdkin’d heroes fig’nng on the ffage,
Who melt the audience with feigned woes
Lull miftic fancy, and with real rage,
Bid gushing torients never ceasing flow.
Y’e girls and bovs who meet where C ara dwells,
Where mei chants’ beaux drink coffee once a Week ;
Let nought your minds employ but difinal yells,
And for no place but ruin’d mansions seek.
Tnere with repeated cries tranlpierce the air,
And call all nature to aflifl your moans ;
Then give a loose to tenor and difpair,
Whilff echoing echo echo’s back your groans.
Let foaming surges ncwdiflmb the deep,
Whilfl frighted mortals (brink and (land aghast ;
Rock all creation in an endlels sleep,
For Sc DC, Cleora’s Iquirrel’s, breath’d his lafl.

Several gentlemen of abilities, have, in detached
pieces, gratified the public with ample and accurate
defcriptions of fe vet a I pairs of the United States;
but no collective description of the whole has been
attempted, except in a small duodecimo volume,
publilhed by the subscriber in 1784, which, though
impefeft on account of the infant date ot geogra
phical knowledge in America, was well received
by a candid public, and an edition o( 1500 copies
speedily fold.
This encouragement has determined him to pub
li(h again on the fame luhjeft. Fm the purpole of
Collecting more ampb and actuate materials than
he formerly pcflHli d, he has travel! d through all
the dates, and has been favoured with the commu
nications of gentlctoen well qualified to give imfor
mation on so important a fubjrft; and, has likewise
eftabiifhed a corp, fpondence with several refpefta
ble characters in different dates, from whom he has
every reason to expert a valuable addition to the
materials already corbeled ; yet as all the informa
tion that can be ohi< ed on a fubjeCt foextentive,
variegated and inn r< (I llg, is greatly to be desired,
and every man of feiente may have it in his power
to Contribute tome obfe, vations which may be ufe
ful, the subscriber will feel himfelf particularly
obliged to any gentleman who will be so kind as to
furnifh him with answers to all, or any of the an
nexed enquiries, viz.
1. The boundaries and extent of thefeveral dates,
and the latitudes and longitudes of the principal
places.
2. Descriptions of the rivers, their sources, cour
ses, lengths, how far navigable, how high does the
tide rife—and what fi(h do they produce. A def
cxiption of mountains, lakes, harbours, capes, and
bays.
3. General face of the country, an account of its
animal, mineral, and vegetable productions, or its
natural history. What are the evidences to sup
port the opinion that the flat country in the fouihern
and middle dates was formerly occupied by the wa
ters of the ocean, and that the land below the hills
and mountains has been made since the flood.
4. Natural and artificial curiosities, caverns, cas
cades, &c.
5. State of commerce, manufaftures and agricuk
ture; exports and imports, balance of trade. The
number of vessels which annually enter at the cus
tom hbufes in the several sea ports of the United
States.
6. Civil divisions of the several dates, the num
ber and names of the several diflrifts, counties, and
towns, their extent, latitude and longitude, num
ber of inhabitants, and diflance and bearihg fiom
the capital of the (late. Particular descriptions of
the principal towns are requested
7. Population—from whence are emigrations, to
what places, and how numerous. Of what nations
are the inhabitants of the dates composed or whence
originated—proportion of the slaves.
8. Climate, diseases and their causes—longevity
of the inhabitants—what proportion die in infancy.
9. Religion, number of churches of differentde
nominations —by what methods are mihifters sup
ported.
10. State of the praftice of law and physic.
it. Societies for the advancement offcience and
humanity.
12. State of literature, colleges, academies,
schools and their funds.
IT has long been the universal with, that the pub.
lie might be furnifhed with an accurate Geo
graphical and Topographical Grammar ot the Uni
ted States.
13. Charafters who have diftinguiffled themselves
in the late war by their patriotism.
14. An eflimate of the damages sustained in the
late war, in the several states.
18. Military and marine flrength.
19. Public revenue and expences—mode of le
vying taxes.
20. Indians, their tribes, languages, numbers,
charafters and dispositions towards the United Slates.
21. The society of Cincinnati, their laws and in
fluence and the nature and political tendency of
their eftabliffiment. 22. History.
N. B. The subscriber wishes to avail himfelf
of the advantage of all the most accurate maps, and
detached geographical pieces, which have been
publilhed refpefting the United States ; and will
thank any gentleman to inform him where they
can be procured.
Thufe gentlemen, who may be so obliging as to
favor the above design, by communications, aie re
quested tQ forward them to Mcffrs. R. Aitken, or
W. Spotfwood, Philadelphia; Messrs. Spotfwood
and Clarke, books Ilers, Baltimore ; Rev. Mr.

Samuel Austin, or Jedidiah Morse, New-Haven,
15. A description of the adjacent Hlands.
16. Manners, customs, diversions and dress.
17. Constitution, policy—general account of the
laws—what political principles predominate in the
several dates.
Geographers of foreign countries, not being pos
sessed of the proper materials, and not equally in
terested in this part of their fubjeCt, have filled
their accounts of these dates with numerous inaccu
racies. Itistime these inaccuracies were corrected
We are independent of Great-Britain, and are no
longer to look up to her fora description of our
Own country.
* This enquiiy is made for the purpose of col
lefling the proper materials for a Gazetteer of the,
United States, which makes a part of the general
plan in view. It is obvious that a book of this
kind, compiled from accurate information, ■would
be exceedingly ufeful. This might eaftly be done
if one well-informed gentleman, in each town
would spend one half hour for the purpose. In
this time the gentlemen might throw together eve
ry important circumstance relative to the towns
at which they refpe&ivelv relide.

feel disposed to favor the above design, and will
give this Advertisement a place in their refpeftive
papers for a few weeks, and will receive and fori

may be handed-them by friends to thfe design, they

THE Illinois country is in general of a luperior
foil to any other part of North America that I
have seen. It procuces fine oak, hickory, c^dar,
mulberry trees, &t. some dying roots and medici
nal plants;—bops, and excellent wild grapes, and
in the year 1769, one hundred and ten boQbteads
of strong wine, were made by the French lettlers;
from these grapes. A large quantitv of sugar is
also annually made from the juice of the mapl«
tree ; and aS the mulberry trees are large and nu
merous, I presume the making of silk will employ
thb attention and indultiy of the settlers, When the
country is more fully inhabited than it is at present;
and especially as the winteis are much more mode
rate and favourable for the breed of silk worms;
than they are in many of the sea edaft piovinces;
Indigo may likewise be fuCcefsfuily cultivated—
(biit not more (ham two Cuttings in a year) wheat,
peas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every
fort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of
the old colonies-. Great quantities of tobacco are
also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois,
both for their own confumptior. and that of the
Indians; but little has hitherto been expoited to
Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a
good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and
its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within
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 quantifies. There hag
how'ever been enough produced to shew, that it
ftiay be town to the greatest advantage. Apples,
pears, peaches, and all other European fruits Suc
ceed admirably. Iron, -copper, and lead mines,
as also fait fprrngs, have been difeovered in diH
ferent parts of this teiritory. The two latter are
worked on the Spaniffi fide of the Miffifippi, with
considerable advantage to the owners. There is
plenty of fiffi in the rivers, particulaily Car, Carp,
and Perch, of an uncommon fize.—Savannahs, or
natural meadows, are both numerous and exten
sive ; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great
herds of buffaloe, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geefe,fwans,
cranes, pelicans, Turkies, pheasants, partriges,
such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in
the greatest variety and abundance.—ln ffiort, eve
ry thing, that a rcafonablemind can desire, is to be
found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
