HEBRY FIELDING, Esq;
qpHE misfortunes and [offerings of
tee may harrafs genius, but can
not reftfs its exertions; and many ip
flanceshave occurred, in which the most
uniform exercise of the intellect has
I tided with the greatest mor
al (offerings.

was early initiated in the
e Common law, and ftudi
uns of Court, with a view
kof it as a pro session ; and
natural turn of his mind
: qualified him eminently,
dies, yet it appears that his
nd knowledge in his pro
fettios,cience were very confiderabie,
and he^faid to have left behind him
: ^faa : n&ript a treatise on the penal
law of bis country. He was some time
in the effimiffion of the peace, and ap
pearsinhrawritings to take nd small
farisji&m in farcaftick remarks upon
iWail&tl^ of his bro
-ter
barraffmerits may, be attributed to an
indiscreet marriage, contrasted upon
motives of romantick affiflion, and in
defiance of prudential confederations.
Notwithstanding his literary labors, and
the fruits of profeffional business, and
some assistance from patronage, particu
larly Lord Lyttleton, of whom he
freaks more than once in terms of high
gratitude, he appears to have been fr&
queatly embarrassed and at no time af
fluent in his private fortune. At the
early age of thirty he was attacked by
the Gout, a severe and incurable mala
dv, by which all his after life was em
bittered. Most of his best works were
written while was tortured by this rig
orous disease; but the pain of his body
bo where appears to have injured the
force of his mind or the benevolence of
his temper. ,
For genuine humor, knowledge of
tie world and accurate display of char
acter no writer has exceeded Fielding.
Hs Tom Jones is the most perfect novel
produced by him <nd contains greatest
va jety. It is easy to difeern from his
writings that he possessed great stores of
classical knowledge, and in the formal
and frequent display of it he is fome
tinfa aiitrte faulty. His ffyle is fome
tii p Qiff, and his language inacurate,
but:he always atones for fraall errors by
ma% and great excellencies. In the
artfol arrangement of fable, nice dis
crimination of charader, and grave
uptick remarks, his novels are prob
abfy unri valled.

WONDER UPON WONDER!
Our city now exhibits what bur
, forefathers would have called the Seven
Wonders of<he World. First, the Ele
phantfrom India, that great and fa-
Hfous beast of burden,.that has strength
a^d appetite to carryand devour, fur
priflirg any other of the kind. Second,
the Circus, where pleafye,aqd fear are
fleetly mingled, together—feats upon
flats, and leaps upon leaps, that would

the Museum, filled with birds, beaftl,

us what has been before in different
quarters of the globe. Many others
wonders- we fhali pass by, such as waift

crouded theatres, affemSlica, flight of

make way for the introdu&on of a
thing, the product of our own country,
that for wonder exceeds all wonders that
were ever wondered at. And pray what
is that 1 why it is a phantom called a
Speculator—a thing n^ known yester
day, and today mounted on his high
ph^ron lading ship for every quarter of
the globe, purchasing whole empires of
land, exchanging for millions of bank

AN OLD CITIZEN.
NATURAL HISTORY.
The worthy Df. Lwfan. Bill attentive
to the great obje& of promoting Natural His
tory among to, especially Mineralogy, ba#
sent bv khe lafl ship from London, an hundred
more fine specimens of Ores from the Span
ish mines, far the Cabinet at Cambridge.
, Although this Cabinet does not contain the^
diamond, ruby, hyacinth, topaz, chryfol
ite/emeraM, berill, faphire, amethe ft, opal
or tourmalin, which are but fictitious wealth,
the mere playthings of Princes, it neverthclef#
container the more ofcful produHions of
nature, and excepting what are called th&
precious stones, there are very few fob.
ftapces yet discovered in the mineral king.
i dom, but what may be found in the Cabinet
: of Minerals at Cambridge.
It is very pleating to the curious traveller,
to fee at one veiw a col leaion of the animate
inhabiting the country he visa. The re
cent art of preserving birds and beasts, owe#
its origin to this curioGty ; and in order to ex
cite 4# Americans, to pfeferre oar birds and
beasts, for the matifiaation of naturalife,%
Dr. Letym, has tent the Museum at Cam
bridge, between twenty and thirty fample# of
binds and small quadrupeds, so nicely prefer,
