AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 12lb of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.

MISCELLANY.
From a late BRITISH PAPER.
East India Intelligence.
We have been favoured by a correspondent in India with the following accurate and particular account of Scindia's engagement with the Rajah of Jynnagur, to August last, and the events which followed upon it, being the translation of a Persian letter from Agra.
ON the 13th of Shawal, Scindia dispatched one of his principal commanders, Ranna Khan, with his battalions of artillery, directing him to cross the Nullah, and make an attack on the Rajepoot army which was there encamped, under the command of Mahomed Beg Humdany.
Humdany, observing this movement, advanced to meet them—Scindia himself remained on an eminence, on the other side of the Nullah, from which he might observe the engagement.
The cannonade began in the morning, and for some time continued with great fury, many lives being lost on both sides. The Rajepoots afterwards advanced to attack the entrenchments of Row Raja, an officer under Humdany, and they were immediately stormed by 4000 men. In this close engagement, the cannon being useless, the troops had recourse to their swords only, and the slaughter was great on both sides; when at last, after an obstinate resistance, the troops of Row Raja were obliged to quit their entrenchments, and abandon themselves to flight.—Ranna Khan, observing the retreat, immediately detached another officer, Abtul Row, to their succour, when the Rajepoots were forced to give way in their turn, and fall back to their main army,—here they received a reinforcement, and returning to the charge, became again victorious.
The fortune of the day appearing to depend on this quarter of the army, the superior courage of Scindia's favorite general, Marteza Khan, once more restored the spirit and efforts of his troops, when the Rajepoots were finally repulsed, and the Mahrattas regained their entrenchments.
In this well-contested action, a brother of Marteza Khan was killed, with about 1000 men and 500 horses. On the side of the Rajepoots 800 men were computed to have fallen.
Mahomed Beg Humdany, was killed early in the day, by a cannon-ball, his loss dispirited his troops, and prevented them from making those exertions which were expected. The battle continued till nine o'clock in the evening, when both armies drew off, and retired to their tents.
When Scindia received intelligence of the death of Humdany, he ordered public rejoicings to be made as for a victory, and he wrote letters to the king of Delhi, to the Peshwa, and others, assuring them that he considered himself more than half victorious.
Humdany's body was sent to Jynnagur, and the Rajah wrote to Scindia, to request a suspension of hostilities until they had finished the prayers of the third day; at the end of which time he desired him to prepare for battle on the plains. Scindia returned for answer, that he would obey his challenge without any apprehensions for the event, for that having tried Humdany, he did not fear the Rajah.
On the 15th, Scindia's troops became mutinous for pay, and every attempt to pacify them proved fruitless; they declared, that if
their arrears were not fully paid up, and a daily allowance of 4 annas made to them, they would go over to the Rajah—Scindia offered to make an immediate payment of one month, and to take measures for the discharge of another in a few days, promising also to give the daily allowance required—this, however, was rejected by the troops, who became riotous and tumultuary, and pointed their guns towards the camp—in this dilemma, Ranna Khan offered to reduce them by force, but Scindia would not consent, apprehensive of the interference of the Rajah in their favor.
While this deliberation was held, intelligence was brought that the battalions had marched off with 140 pieces of cannon—they were within two miles of the Rajah's camp, and that the commandant of the battalions had saluted the Rajah with a discharge of 120 guns.
Scindia then flew into a most immoderate rage, and swore he would revenge himself upon the people of Hindostan, who were all traitors to him.
The Rajah received the revolted troops, with much pleasure, gave them entire satisfaction as to their pay, money, and provisions.—This defection was followed by one still more fatal to Scindia, in the sons of Mortexa Khan, who went over to the Rajah, with five more battalions and 600 horse.
Scindia now informed the small remains of his army, that his stay was impossible, but it was the opinion of Ranna Khan, that a retreat was equally dangerous in the face of a superior army—it was at last resolved to decamp in the night, which was accordingly effected by Scindia himself who directed Ranna Khan to follow him slowly with his troops.
The Mahrattas in the confusion of their retreat, plundered the camp bazaar. The next day the Rajah struck his tents and encamped on the ground which Scindia had left, when they began the rejoicing of victory. He then ordered that no pursuit should be made after Scindia, nor his baggage plundered, as he would consider it disgraceful in his situation—that it was now his intention, after securing his own frontier, to go into the royal presence, and submit his future operations to the king. He afterwards dispatched letters to all the neighbouring Rajahs, with congratulations on the victory, &c.
From the INDEPENDENT GAZETTEER. Material Qualifications for a Justice of the Peace in a virtuous Republic.
HE should be a man of real untaunted probity and honesty.
This qualification is indeed necessary to the reputation of every good member of the community who is anxious to pass life with satisfaction to himself or the world. But it is peculiarly requisite for an administrator of justice. Entrusted as he is with serious and important affairs, his fellow citizens naturally look to him for guardianship and protection. There should be some ground for proper confidence; and none is better than a firm well-rooted persuasion and opinion of undisguised integrity.
From scenes like these old Scotia's grandeur springs, That makes her lov'd at home, rever'd abroad. Princes and lords are but the breath of kings, An honest Man's the noblest work of God.
Let an honest man err, and humanity will inflexibly prove his advocate. In a word, honesty, like charity, will cover a multitude of sins.
2. His situation and circumstances in life ought to be substantial and independent of his office.
Without this ingredient, it is impossible in this line above all others, either to do justice himself or to afford heart-felt comfort to his
suitors. Needy creatures having no other means to support themselves, unless this the incomes of the office they hold, cannot reasonably be supposed to act from generous and pure considerations; they devote their whole time to the active calls of the station, and soon fall victims to their own abominable necessities. Dignity and moderation are strangers to them. Regardless of consequences, they listen to every idle fugitive application; they carve out suits when the play is not literally worth the candle; and care not whom they injure or displease, or what absurd measures they adopt, so they reap a living from their violent labours and exertions. Hence rapine, extortion, and their audacious relatives, are readily perceivable in their actions. Hence discord and ill blood arise in every neighbourhood and in every quarter, and pave the way for one half the evils that disgrace society.
3. A competent knowledge of the law and constitution of the country is also proper for him to possess.
It is not here meant that a justice should be a professional lawyer, or bred up regularly to jurisprudence as a study or a science. But he ought to have some degree of education, and reading, and to be so far versed in the practice of courts and forms of proceeding, as to keep him from arrogating power and jurisdiction, and trespassing on the properties and liberties of the people, of which they are always tenacious. In doubtful cases, he ought to act the prudent and benevolent part; and never fail to advise with gentlemen learned in the law, in whose power it is to guide and direct him. Yet some pigmy justices, as soon as they are elected, conceive statute wise, fully adequate to the duties of the office, and nothing is wanting in their eyes but a perusal of the acts of assembly, with the assistance of an anti-deluvian constable to perfect them. Let such persons, however, bear to "be reminded, that without a sufficient knowledge of the common law of the land, they cannot understand the construction of those acts, nor know any part of their duty: much less from their blockheads and ignoramus, the constables." Humility, therefore, and less self-importance, would better suit these forward infants in authority, till time and maturity enable them to be more intelligent, manly and decisive.
4. Management and courtesy in the exercise of business.
As men are not all moulded in the same clay, they have a diversity and contrariety of dispositions, which lead them, without reason, to anger, and of course, to litigation. Every discontented person, who calls on a justice, is not to be gratified, at all events. The justice hath a discretion which he can use, and if properly applied, answers valuable purposes. Much lies with him in the path of accommodation; and it is evidently in his power, if he pleases, to anticipate the effects of brutal rage and passion, and through gentleness and address, to create amity and unity among embittered enemies. How amiable is the peace-maker! And deservedly esteemed is that magistrate, who lays aside the petty consideration of fees; who struggles, like a christian, with his neighbours and acquaintances to, keep them in golden concord; and on the whole, uniformly endeavours to preserve their good will and affections.

XENOPHON.
The TAYLOR'S DREAM. AN ORIENTAL TALE.
A TAYLOR, who was dangerously ill, had a remarkable dream.—He saw fluttering in the air, a piece of cloth, of a prodigious length, composed of all the cabbage he had made, of a variety of colours. The angel of death held this piece of patchwork in one of his hands, and with the other gave the taylor several strokes with a piece of iron. The taylor, awakening in fright, made a vow, that if he recovered, he would cabbage no more. He soon recovered. As he was diffident of himself, he ordered one of his apprentices to put him in mind of his dream, whenever he cut out a suit of clothes.
The taylor was for some time obedient to the intimations given him by his apprentice. But a gentleman having sent for him to make him a coat out of a very rich stuff, his virtue could not resist the temptation. His apprentice put him in mind of his dream to no purpose; "I am tired with your talk about the dream, lays the taylor, there is nothing like this in the whole piece of patchwork, which I saw in my dream, and I observed likewise, that there was a piece deficient; that which I am now going to take will render it complete."
Foreign Intelligence.
VIENNA, March 26.
THEY write from Trieste, that a privateer has sailed from that place, carrying 30 guns, and 150 men, amongst whom were many Esclavonians, all chosen men, and of great courage; the commander is a Russian officer, and carries the flag of his nation. We have no news of the
Turkish squadron, which continues cruising in the Adriatic sea; but the same letters announce much greater news, and equally authentic, which is, that the Chevalier Emo has given up his charge of Admiral of the naval forces of the Venetian republic, petitioning for his dismissal & leave to quit command of the fleet, & this without its being known even at Venice what this reason is for it; however the senate do not seem inclined to accept of his resignation. It is well known experienced sea officers are scarce among the Venetians; but their navy is at present upon a very respectable footing, as it consists of 25 armed vessels, 12 of which, and some say 14, are of the line. But the peace of Passarowitz was a fatal era for that republic; for the courage of their seamen seems to have decreased since that time.
The supplement to the German Gazette of Vienna, makes no mention of the affair of Panczowa, where, as the letters from Hungary informed us, 800 or 900 Turks were cut to pieces, nor of the taking of a young Turkish officer, son of a Pacha, who was said to have been met with by a patrol of our Hussars, not far from Semandria, and made prisoner with 13 Janissaries who accompanied him.
On the 16th instant, Field-Marshal Count Laszy went to Semlin, where he stopped a very little while. It is by his order that the magistrates of that city has informed all the Greek merchants, subjects to the Porte, that they are to retire 12 leagues into the interior part of Hungary, except those for whose good behavior some reputable house in the mercantile line in Semlin would be answerable. This city swarms with soldiers, and seven generals have taken up their quarters at Semlin. We are in daily expectation of more interesting news from those parts.
PARIS, April 16.
The Imperial minister, who has been accustomed to revive dispatches from Vienna every week for months past, has not received a courier for near three weeks, which is looked upon as mysterious. The next packet may be expected to bring news probably of the last importance, which we are all eagerly in expectation of; the more so, as our court are so nearly interested in the war which now rages between the Imperial and the Ottomans, Courts, which last are certainly favoured by the allies of France.
WARSAW, March 12.
Count Potoki, Palatine of Russia, is raising a regiment of cavalry of 1000 men, and a battalion of Grenadiers of the same number, at his own expence.
We learn from Constantinople, that two ships are arrived there from Marseilles with cannon, and that the English Renegado Ali is gone to Adrianople with 4,000 men, to repair the fortifications of that place, where the Grand Seignior means to reside for some time.
American Occurrences.
POUGHKEEPSIE, June 24.
THE 2d sec. of the 1st article of the constitution, gave rise to a very long and interesting debate.—Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Lansing, were the principal speakers in opposition to the paragraph, and Mr. Hamilton in its defence. It is not to be expected that we can give our readers the arguments in detail that were used; we can only say, that it was attacked on the one side, with much spirit and ingenuity, and advocated on the other, with equal ability and address. On one side it was contended, that the mode of apportionment of the number of representatives in each state, by including three fifths of the negroes, was both unequal and unjust—that the number of representatives was too small to be safe, and that we had not sufficient security that the number would ever be increased.
On the other hand it was informed, that including three fifths of the negroes in the appointment of the number of representatives, was the result of accommodation with the southern states, that an union with them was never to be expected on any other terms, and that as negroes were equally considered when taxes were to be assessed, the southern states felt the burthen as well as the advantage of them, and that the mode was not therefore partial or unjust.—It was contended also, that the paragraph clearly contemplated a gradual increase in proportion to the population of the country—that the design of the census was for that purpose—that the interest of the majority of the national legislature would lead them to make the requisite increase, and that the total number as it now stands under our present circumstances, and as it would be in a very short time from our rapid increase, sufficiently numerous for all the purposes of a good government, and at the same time entirely safe to the liberties of the people.
The debates on this paragraph continued through the course of the week.

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.
It is with singular pleasure that we can inform our customers of the establishment or progress of manufactures every week.
The porter made in this city, in the opinion of the best judges, is equal to the London porter imported into America. This porter sells for 8 3/4, while the price of English porter is 17 1/2 per dozen. Two hundred barrels of this porter were lately exported from this city in one vessel.
A white glass manufactory has lately been set on foot in New-Jersey, and the glass pronounced equal to the English white glass. It is sold in front, above Arch-street, cheaper than the imported glass.
Should every inhabitant of the United States wear as much more of the manufactures of our country, than he used to do, as would amount to only twenty shillings a year, it would save three millions of pounds yearly to our country. A few pairs of cotton or thread stockings, or of worsted shoes, or a single coat, or a few cotton waistcoats, would make up this trifling saving to each individual. The aggregate sum would in a few years render America one of the richest countries in the world. It would build many hundred ships and houses, establish and promote many useful manufactures, and clear and improve many thousand plantations, every year.
If, added to the saving in the articles that have been enumerated, every person whose business it was to ride on horseback, together with all the boys between five and fourteen years of age, and all the servants in the United States, wore Leather Breeches, manufactured in America, a sum not much less than a million yearly would be retained in our country.
The manufactures of America, says a correspondent, certainly deserve serious attention. No man can doubt the propriety, and even the duty, of using such articles as can be made here as low as they can be imported. Since the introduction of the carding and spinning machines, it is found, that jeans can be made so as to underfell those imported from England, with the unavoidable charges of importation. Every public-spirited man may be supplied with this article at the factory, where the sale is very rapid, and purchases have been made by every description of the citizens of Pennsylvania, by the citizens of the adjacent states, and by some foreigners of distinction. Another article, adds our correspondent, calls for the attention of the friends of American manufactures, and of every frugal man—thread, cotton, and worsted hosiery. Several gentlemen have made a careful and impartial examination of the stockings manufactured in this city, in Germantown, in the town and county of Lancaster, Bethlehem, and Reading, and they find that the thread stockings, made in Pennsylvania, and sold generally at a dollar per pair, are of the same fineness with imported stockings which are sold at 7/8 and 8/6. They also find that mixed stockings of thread and cotton, made in Pennsylvania, are sold lower in proportion compared with those of Great-Britain. Besides this difference in price, it is a well known fact, that three pair of Pennsylvania made stockings will wear longer than four pair of those imported.
There are now about 259 stocking looms in the different parts of the city and state, each of which makes, on a medium, one pair and a half of stockings every day. These, deducting Sundays, will amount to 117,375 pair per annum, which, at 7/6 a pair, is £44015 12 6. The increase of wool and flax, the reduction of labor, provisions and rents, the cultivation of cotton in the southern states, and above all, the use of machines to card, spin and twist cotton thread, will greatly promote this article, of which, at two pair to each person annually, the United States require a yearly supply of near six millions of pairs—a capital domestic demand, certain, and steadily increasing with our population. The charges of importing hosiery, under the general impost of five per cent. will be twenty-three per cent. exclusive of any profit to the importer or retailer. Should the adoption of the general government tempt any, either Americans or foreigners, to push manufactures here, this branch promises great profit, and will no doubt be among the first that will engage their attention.

ON Wednesday arrived, sloop New-York Packet, Tinker, from Newbern, N. Carolina, in seven days; sloop Defiance, Atwater, from Antigua, in 20 days; brig Maryland, Sinnet, from Dublin, in 49 days; sloop Lady Hayley, Tillinghast, from Philadelphia, in three days.
The 18th May, 1788, Capt. Sinnet, of the brig Maryland, spoke the brig Betty, Capt. Mesnard, from New-York for London, in long. 21. 37. W. lat. 49. 38. N. out eighteen days, all well.
Last Tuesday's Poughkeepsie Advertiser contains the following:—Saturday last his Excellency GEORGE CLINTON, Esq. one of the delegates for the county of Ulster, and president of the convention of this
state, sat out from this place for Kingston, in the said county, accompanied by the honorable Judge Wynkoop, one other of the members, and Abraham B. Bancker, Esq. one of the secretaries to the convention, where he was received with a salute of 13 cannon, amidst the acclamations of a grateful populace—And yesterday returned to this place, escorted by a corps of the light horse of said county, commanded by Capt. Cornelius Newkirk, jun. Capt. Lieutenant Abraham Van Gaasbeck, jun. and Lieutenant Jacobus Elmendorph, jun.
It was determined, in the House of Representatives, Massachusetts, after a candid and impartial hearing of the parties, that articles of impeachment should be preferred to the honorable the Senate, against the HIGH SHERIFF of the county of Worcester, for misconduct in his high office. Dissentients ten only.
A gentleman, who left Poughkeepsie on Tuesday afternoon, informs, that the convention on that morning, took up the third section, and after the secretary had read it, Mr. Gilbert Livingston, delegate from Dutchess, made a motion for an amendment, to this purpose, that the state legislatures should have power to call their senators whenever they thought proper, provided that new appointments were made immediately, and that no senator who had served six years, should be eligible until twelve years after. He advocated this amendment in a very sensible speech, Judge Morris spoke a few words in answer, and Mr. Chancellor Livingston, and Mr. Hamilton went more fully into the merits of the subject. Mr. M. Smith made some remarks on the speeches of the chancellor and Mr. Hamilton. Our informant adds, that it was said the subject would be renewed on Monday, when it was expected some other members on both sides of the question, would take a part in the debate. That Mr. Lansing replied principally to the chancellor's arguments, &c.
Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, June 24.
“The constitution was read by paragraphs without any opposition, until the paragraph in the second section of the first article, about the appointment of representatives, and direct taxes, when Mr. M. Smith stated his objections to it in a masterly manner, in a speech of an hour's length; after making some pertinent and judicious remarks upon the Chancellor's speech, he was answered by Mr. Hamilton in an elegant speech, which Mr. Melancthon Smith and Mr. John Lansing replied the former proposed an amendment to the paragraph on Saturday, and Monday the same paragraph was still under debate.—His Excellency the President, Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Lansing, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Tredwell, spoke against it—Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Harrison in favor of it.”
Extract of a letter from Richmond, dated June 15.
“Our convention is still sitting, and I fear for the constitution, as the division will be a very nice one when the question is put.”
Extract of a letter from a member of convention of Virginia, dated Richmond, June 18th, 1788.
“The voting members will consist of 168, the determined adversaries 76, the determined friends 82, as far as we have grounds for calculation before any question has been taken. The remaining ten have not spoken explicitly, but we have the best assurances of one half being with us, since the scruples of some have been quieted by a peculiar form of ratification which will be offered.”
From the Richmond Gazette, of June 19.
“The honourable the convention are yet engaged in the discussion of the important subject submitted to their consideration; the accurate investigation they have been under the necessity of giving every, the minutest part, has perhaps employed them longer than was expected, but their constituents and posterity will applaud the assiduity and attention they have shewn to this interesting subject. They have now arrived to the article respecting the executive. It is yet impossible to determine on which side the majority will be.”
The following article is strongly recommended to the attention of the patriotic citizens of America, and to every man of business in the union.
ONE hundred and forty-three COTTON MILLS are now built and in progress in Great-Britain, of which nearly two thirds have been erected within these five years.
Besides these there are about twenty thousand five hundred hand mills, or Jennies, for spinning the flutes for the twisted yarn, spun by the water-mills.
The expence of water-mills is £715,000 Expence of hand-jennies, houses, buildings and auxiliary machinery, supposed at least 285,000 £1,000,000
The state of the raw materials, and the progressive and astonishing increase of the manufacture, will be best explained by what follows:
   The cotton & wool applied to the manufacture was When manufactured supposed to be worth     1781 - 5,101,920 lb. £ 2,000,000   1782 - 11,306,800 lb. 3,900,000   1783 - 9,546,179 lb. 3,200,000   1784 - 11,280,238 lb. 3,950,000   1785 - 17,992,888 lb. 6,900,000   1786 - 10,151,867 lb. 6,500,000   1787 - 22,600,000 lb. 7,500,000  
From whence it appears, that the cotton and wool applied to the hand and water machines in Great-Britain in 1787, being 22,600,000 lb.—worth in the raw state about £2,230,000, was worth, when manufactured, £7,500,000, yielding the immense profit to laborers and owners of the mills and factories, of £5,270,000 sterling.

POET'S CORNER.
The GRINDER.
A favorite SONG.
THERE'S Grinders enough firs, of ev'ry degree, From jewel deck'd great, to low poverty, Whatever the station, it sharpens the sense, And the wheel goes round for to grind in the pence.
Master Grinders enough at the helm you may find:
Penknives, scissars, or razors to grind— Tho' I am but a journeyman with knives to grind.
The rich grind the poor, fir, it's a saying of old,
The merchant, the tradesman, we need not be told:
Whether Pagan, Mehometan, or Christian you be, There's Grinders of all sorts of every degree.
Master Grinders, &c.
Whatever the statesman may think of himself, He turns fortune's wheel, in pursuit of his pelf, He grinds back and edge, his gifts to obtain, And his country may starve, so he pockets the gain.
Master Grinders, &c.
The patriot with zeal animated declares, The curtain he'll draw and display the state players.
He is a staunch Grinder to some 'tis well known, And they're mightily gall'd by the grit of his stone.
Master Grinders, &c.
I too firs am a Grinder, but what firs of that, I am but in taste, since I copy the great:
To be firs ingenious, I'll tell you my mind, 'Tis for what I can get makes me willing to grind.
Master Grinders enough at the helm you may find:
Penknives, scissars, or razors to grind— Tho' I am but a journeyman with knives to grind.

This Day is published, and to be Sold, By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen-street, The Miscellaneous Works
OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second volume of our Ame- rican Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and sa- tire, flow in copious strains.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detesta- tion and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a hum- ble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteem- ed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Re- gained, though far from being destitute of merit is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that uni- bounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.
