On this principle, more than the claim of .

to attract the public attention ; but still, he
hopes, that he will not be found altogether
undeserving or defective, either in the choice
or execution of his Subject. No country pof

of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the

of the poet, or animate the pencil of the
painter, than those which lie profufely Scat

fortunately there is no country, whose native
charms have been so Superficially explored, or j
so impcrfe&ly delineated. Hitherto, indeed
the toil of converting" a wilderness into a state

nation, Ceems to have been iufficient to en

the inhabitants of America. The people of
Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by
wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely,
comparatively Speaking, overstepped the
boundaries of their continent in pure search
of information or pleasure. The ruins of
art, which encumber their domestic ffcenery,
have been preferred to tlie novelties of nature
which arifc in other regions ; and the time
has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence

than the fe ft ion of a palace, or a mutilated

leisure, with a fetroSpc<stive and joyful Sensi

as to reap the abundance which providence
has bellowed on this country; and the Euro

The attention of mankind being thus di-
towards this country, every thing that
relates to its physical, as we'll.as to its politi
cal interest, will, it is prei'umed, receive a
liberal encouragement. The Author of the
present work, therefore, confidently makes
the experiment on a new fubjeA, and in a
new ftylecf execution. Jhe art of engrav
ing in Aquatints, has indeed, for some time
been held in high estimation throughout Eu
rope; its close imitation of fmifhed draw
ings, and the free but forcible manner in
which it depicts the light and graceful touch
es of nature, are properties, that seem pecu
liarly adapted to the American fccnery,fome
of the tints and colors of which are certain
