NEWYEAR's-DA Y. 1779,
SHINE Phoebus, thine, to cheer th land;
Thou fet'd in Heaven, by high commands
G cat source of light and heat,
While dancing round thy fplended sphere,
The earth roll's in another year.
Her numbers to c mpleat.,
Hail ! happy year, bail ! happy day,
Aud lad ! thrice bleft America,
I fee thy empire rife,
F x f on a b?fe that ne'er shall move;
The favour'd child of fov'ran Jove,
And kindred of the ikies.
Firm the alliance made with France,
Nor was it mad, by fate or chance %
Such skill and wisdom shine;
And fare it never rose from man,
Such the contrivance of the plan,
But from feme hand div ; ne.
God will de'end our land, from waste
From war, from 'empeft, and from blafl,
Our lives, from pefblence,
Nor move the fun. to makeone Day,
To shed one beam, or dart one ray,
But blessings, to difpe,ce.

NETHERLANDS.
VOLUME I.
This Book is wrote to evince the great hardships
Mod amazing success of a vaffel people who extri
cated themselves from the tyranny of the mod ex
orbitant power in Europe, and in the end ruined
that power while the Ocean was covered with its
navy, and the earth with its armies, both under the
dire&ion of commanders as famous as any recorded
in hifiory ; who .bad the advantage of marching
those armies by land into the very heart of those re
volted slates.-
This overgrown monarchy bad a view to ppprefs
an iamooent and complying people, who had neither
troops nor fh'fy 10 defend th rnfelve c .
A small fyot of ground, scarcely equal to the least
of our United S/aes/with only a moderate ffiire of
public virtue, proved Efficient to bri^ rain on t^e
then most formidable kingdom on our globe !
I am vain enough to believe that the small assem
blage of politics contained in this book, will afford
entertainment to cur statesmen.
The soldier will find amafement in the relation cf
military events.
The merchant will be reminded, that cur com
mercial difficulties are to be overcome by patience.
The clergy may ponder on the conferences cf
polemical disputes.
Aid the farmer will fee, that the present time is
not the firfl when it was difficult to introduce foreign
necessaries.
The public in general, are requeued to take it for
granted, that the work is meant to be ufeful.
I cannot but express my gratitude for the very
large fubferption obtained for this work.
Daring the regulation cf prices of every thing, I
promised about 500 pages for Four Dollars ; I now
pubbfh 288 pages for Three Dollars add a Half to
the Subscribers, and Four Dollars to non fubferi
bers. I dare be affuied, that considering the dif
ference in price of all necessaries of life, this book
will be thought a very cheap publication, esp ~cially
when it is considered, that ft.ch a volume would
have, fold at One Dollar in time of peace.
Subferibera are therefore requested fpeedjly to Call
for their books at Mr. Patten's, in this town, that I
may be encouraged to go on vigorously with these.
