celebrated fcr his piety, learning, and
the number of I>ooks he has given to the
World. This work falling into my hands,
disc* wring that it was printed 1i Pitts
burg:*, I was a little surprised to find it
so well executed, both in the engrav
ings, of which it contains a number, and
the printing. The quality of the paper
was good, and I was told it was m ab
ut a paper-mill net" Redstone. Tli
printing of so very large r work i:i a r. :v
country, is a considerable undertaking,
and it behoves the people to step for
ward and give all the encouragement
they can to the enterprise. On furth r
inqulry, 1. found th re had been a large
subscription obtained for the work, a-,
mong the religious of all denominate ins.
Pas dng on to Wheeling, on the Ohio,
In Virginia, also :i ilout i.shing place, and
putting up ot an inn, the first thing hat
struck me was a paper lying on the la
id calk 1" The Wheeling Repisitoni,"
printed in a quarto form. A little asto
nished, I exclaimed, •* \Yh it 1 a pres
h re too-'' I was pleased, to dis:ov r
thr.t the paper was ncafclv \ rinted. It
cor/ , iiv d a good deal of eutertainirgancl
or.. r al matt r, ar.d poetry that bespoke
its author to posse-s some of ic sparks
oi the “ J’oetie fire'' of a Shakespeare.—
