OFFERED for the monument of

time of his decease was Member of the
Honourable the Executive Council of
Georgia, and during the late war a na
val commander in the fcrvice of the
United States of America.
Sunk at his moorings,
On Wednesday the 29th of April, 1789,
One, who never struck his flag, while
he had
A Shot in the Locker ; —
Who carried fail in chafe, 'Till all was
- blue:
In peace whose greatest glory was,
"ft a gg' r % % f a " breeze ; —
In war, to bring his broad fide round
to bear upon the enemy ;
And who, when signals of distress hove
out,
Ne'er flood his course,
But haul'd, or tack'd, or wore,
To give relief, though to a foe—
Who fleer'd his little bark, full 50 an
nual cruises.
O'er life's tempestuous ocean,
And moor'd her fafe in port at last—
Where,
Her timbers being crazy,
And having sprung a leak in the gale.
She went down with a clear baufe. —
If these traits excite in the breast of hu
manity that common tribute to
the memory of the departed,

Then, traveller,
(As thou paffeth this wreck)
Let thine be borne upon the breeze
Which bends the grass, covering

Mark, how the Sun's Enliv'ning Ray
Makes ev'ry field lock green and gay,
The meadows all with verdure crown'd
In flow'ry beauties smile around.
Creation owns the hand that guides,
And o'er her wond'rous Works presides,
Then wake my foul awake and join
In praises to the power divine.
The early Lark on soaring wing,
Begins his tuneful notes to sing,
And warbling forth his morning Lays
Mounts up toHeaven in songs of praifc.
Awake my foul and touch the Lyre
Let nature's voice thy muse inspire,
Attend the mufick of the Woods
The gentle murmurs of the floods.
BEHOLD, the purple spangled dawn
Embroiders o'er the pearly Lawn,
And drilling thro' the milkv way,
In fafron Robes proceeds the day :
Then wake my foul awake and join,
In praises to the Power divine,
That from the silence of the Night,
Has brought thee to a joyful Light.
See, how the Sun with glory crown'd,
Expands his radient beams around,
And cloth'd with majesty and fire
Bids every /hade of Night retire.

NOTHING need be laid on the part
of the publisher to convince a difeerning
publick that this is an. undertaking, in
this country, of vast importance ; that
the labour and expense are exceeding
great; or that the undertaking, if well
executed, merits encouragement : He
begs leave only to observe, that he is
now carrying on this undertaking
solely at bis own rilk and expense.
The grateft care has been taken to have
the work corred, and every way execu
ted so as not to difgrace,but to do feme
credit to our country. —The magnitude
of the work exceeds any thing of the
kind attempted in America ; the letter
press will, he thinks, not be inferiour to
any that has been done in the United
States ; and the plates much foperiour
to any heretofore done by ourown coun
trymen, and would not disgrace more
experienced British artists.
He solicits the aid of such chriftian
societies and private gentlemen, as wilh
to supply their pulpits or families with
an elegant edition of the sacred scrip
tures ; and he flatters himfelf such aid
will be given him by a liberal subscrip
tion.

at the Bookstore of ISAIAH THO
