Just Published, And to be sold by R. Hodge, T. Allen, S. Cambell, J. Reid, and S. Loudon, booksellers, and by the printer hereof, 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 14wt 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. No racing allowed in this line.

MISCELLANY.
From THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY. NEWS FROM THE OHIO.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at the Muskingum, to the Printer of the Massachusetts Spy, written on the spot where the first city of that territory is to be built.
Adelphi, May 16th, 1788.
Mr. THOMAS,
I EMBRACE the earliest opportunity of communicating to you such information as I am capable of giving, respecting the Western Country in general, and in particular of that part purchased by the Ohio Company. With respect to the country in general, and even of the greatest part of our purchase, I am still obliged to rest my opinion on that of others, as I have had opportunity of seeing but a small part thereof; however, from what I have seen and been informed since my arrival, it is my decided opinion that Mr. Hutchins, in his pamphlet (republished in the Massachusetts Spy in February and March, 1786) has given a very modest description thereof.
"I am much pleased with the purchase we have made, and am fully determined to fix my residence here. That part of the purchase I have been over, far exceeds my expectations; from our eastern boundary to the Muskingum (the distance of about five miles) the intervals, or what the people of this country call bottoms, are from one half to three quarters of a mile wide; these, in richness, and apparent fertility of soil, exceed any thing I ever saw east of the Allegany Mountains; next to these are what is called second bottoms, which are elevated plains, and gentle risings of the richest uplands, and as free from stone as the low or first bottom, except in some few instances, where these elevated plains consist of a shallow, light, and sometimes sandy soil, under which appears an open, loose earth; back of these commence the hills, which in general are considerably uneven, and separated by deep, hollow grounds, where flow innumerable rivulets, which have their source from springs which rise among the hills, the most of which are free from stone, and consist of a rich and deep soil, suited to the culture of wheat, grazing, &c. In this distance fall into the Ohio two very considerable creeks, called Little Muskingum and Duck Creek; in the spring season these are navigable for boats more than twenty miles, and afford large tracts of the best bottoms and uplands for farming.
"We have surveyed the lots of one mile square on both sides the Muskingum, for 15 miles up; a description of the lands in this distance would be only a repetition of that already given of that on the Ohio. The timber growing on the land above described are of the kinds mentioned by Mr. Hutchins and others; but I must confess the trees are larger and more numerous than I expected to find.
"We have found plenty of limestone, as well as fine quarries of building stone, at a small distance up the Muskingum, sufficient for building the city, or any other purpose for which they may be wanted. At present we go 20 miles up the river for pit-coal, but there is no doubt plenty will be found nearer; we have found several salt licks within our surveys, and are assured there is a salt spring about forty miles up the Muskingum, from which a sufficient quantity of salt for the supply of the country may be made: some gentlemen at Fort Harmer doubt this information, but say a sufficient quantity may be made at a spring on a branch of the Scioto.
"We have had no time yet to go in search of iron ore, but one of our people has brought in a small stone, taken from one of the neighbouring hills, which I found on trial to contain a rich iron ore. We find the season here much more forward than even at Pittsburgh; by the 7th of April there was as good feed for cattle on the banks of the Muskingum, as you will generally find by the middle of May in the best enclosures in the county of Worcester.
"To give some idea of beginning a settlement this country, compared with Vermont or any new country to the northward, I state the following fact:—About a dozen families removed to this place about a year ago last March, and settled opposite Fort Harmer, on the Virginia side of the Ohio; their lands were the same as ours, and entirely new; they raised one thousand bushels of corn the last season, and although the last winter was very severe, they wintered, without any hay, (making use of their stalks and stalks, with some corn) between sixty and seventy horses and neat cattle, fatted a sufficient quantity of pork for their own consumption, besides wintering over a large number of swine.
"From the plot of ground laid out for building the city of Adelphi, we have a most delightful prospect; from this ground you will have a full view of the waters in the Ohio eight or nine miles up that river, and five below; and of the Muskingum from its mouth five or six miles up. The front line of house lots is 95 yards from the Muskin-
gum, and parallel thereto; all the space between them and the river is to remain an open street or common; the course of this street is north 40 degrees west, and extends in length one mile; all the streets are either parallel or at right angles with that; but from some hollow ground and rivulets the city will not be a perfect parallel logram, although that figure has been aimed at as much as the situation would admit; the north-east end thereof is bordered by a beautiful brook, which I am informed runs all the year; the south-east end, and part of the rear, is bounded by another creek larger than the former, which will afford a good canal for boats to pass up when the waters of the Muskingum are high. The house lots, in their nearest approach to the Ohio, are distant therefrom twenty-five perch, and separated from it by the last mentioned creek and low interval land of the first quality; a part of the house lots toward the rear are separated from the rest by a deep hollow ground, through which the last mentioned creek passes; these lots are situated in ground gently ascending towards the north-east, which farther on terminates in very considerable hills, in which rise eight springs, the sources of the creek last mentioned; these, with a comparative small expence, may be collected into one great reservoir, and conducted to any part of the city.
"The city plot includes the ruins of some ancient town or works, of which the world has heard much of late. I have not had time to take an accurate survey of them all, therefore must omit a particular description thereof; but I must confess I was greatly surprised in finding those works so perfect as to put it beyond all doubt that they are the remains of a work erected at an amazing expence, perhaps some thousand years since, by a people who had very considerable knowledge in fortifications. In laying out our city we have preserved some of the works from becoming private property, by including them within lots or squares appropriated to public uses, viz. an advanced work, containing a mound of earth in the figure of a cone, the base of which is 376 feet in circumference, and is 30 feet perpendicular, surrounded by a parapet 386 feet in circumference and 15 feet thick, having a ditch 15 feet wide, and at present about three feet deep, on the side next the town or principal works, an open space without parapet or ditch, where it is presumed was the gate or place of entrance. We have also in the same manner secured for public use two elevated mounds of earth, situate within the walls of the great oblong square or principal fortification; one of them is nearly of a square figure, the sides measuring 153, 45 feet by 135, 7 feet, is raised about five feet above the common surface, and on the top a horizontal plain of the above dimensions, having on three sides thereof gentle ascents projecting out, of about 20 feet wide, in the form of glasse, for the convenience of walking up; and on the fourth side is an indented ascent of the same width. The other elevated square is an oblong of 200 feet by 124, of about the same height and as level on the top as the other, and regular projecting ascents on each side thereof; these appear to have been the foundations of some spacious public buildings; but however that may be, they are very convenient, and now reserved for that purpose; the rest of the works can remain, when the city is built, on paper only.
"As to the natives, the ensuing treaty I trust will be conducted on principles of honor and justice, and end to the satisfaction of that, as I conceive, much injured people. When we arrived at this place, we fortunately found captain Pipes, the chief of the Delaware tribe, with about 70 men, women and children of that and the Wyandot tribes, at Fort Harmer, who had come down to trade; we were introduced to them by the commanding officer; captain Pipes some days after, with about twenty others, came over and dined with me; we gave them to understand our business, and that we hoped to live in friendship, and should be glad to see them, or any of their friends, at all times; captain Pipes told us that they should be happy to live by us, but did not expect any people would come on to settle before the treaty; we told him we had brought no families, nor would any come on until after the treaty, when we expected every thing would be settled to their satisfaction; in the mean time it was necessary we should plant some corn; captain Pipes appeared fully satisfied, and parted with avowing his friendship should continue as long as the sun & moon endured.
Since making up this new acquaintance we have more or less of our Indian friends to visit us almost every day, who appear in perfect good humour, and full as happy as we in the new acquaintance; but nothing is said about our settlement, except one of their chiefs, who is now at the fort, and appears to be a very sensible, sober old gentleman; one his first visit to us, told me, that "he thanked God that the way was cleared so that they could come down with safety to trade; that Capt. Pipes told him he and all the Indians were used exceedingly well by us; that he was very glad to see us here, but there was some things he should not speak of until they met in the great council," meaning the treaty."
ON POETRY.
Ganganelli to the Abbe Trugoni.
I COMPARE poetry to those variegated flames that we see blazing in some kind of fire-works, which we do not discover clearly, unless we are deeply impressed with their beauty.
Besides, must be totally insensible to the beauties of nature, if we are not affected by the images which are presented to our view by the great poets. Such, for our example as may be found in our Metaſtaſio, and in your works, my dear Abbe, that must affect the most unfeeling souls, it is a new world, enriched with unexpected delights, much superior to our most beautiful flowers, as these, at the end of a few days fade away, while sublime poetry descends to the latest posterity.
Poetry is like an excellent musical instrument, it is not to be touched but by the hand of a master. A piece of wretched poetry is like a musical composition performed by an execrable fiddler, which grates the soul, torments the mind, and disgusts the man of true taste. There is not a man capable of relishing flights of genius, whom the beauties in the book of Psalms do not render an enthusiast in spite of himself, I confess that I feel myself a poet every time that I repeat the Psalms.
What energy, what descriptions, what majesty!—We leave the subject, we forget ourselves, we become the prophet himself, or rather let me say, we become divine. But alas, how ought we to be grieved, when we see poetry, which was originally designed to sing the praises of the eternal (since Moses, who employed it for so glorious a purpose, is the most ancient writer) descending from such sublimity to deify some mortal, more brutal than the brutes themselves.
The poets, for the honor of art, which elevates them to so high a rank, ought never to have prostituted it. They would have had much more respect and more honor paid them, and the whole world would not have commenced poets with or without genius. Every one must now sing the object of his passion; and we see poems, which are both ridiculous and indecent, bursting from all quarters.
Clumsy prose is very defective, but clumsy poetry is intolerable. There ought not to be a single superfluous epithet, and every word, as far as is possible, should convey a thought.
From the ROYAL DOMINICA GAZETTE.
IT has long been my sentiment, that the most common gifts of Providence are the most useful, salutary and worthy of estimation. That this opinion has not been ill-founded, I will, at present, apply it to only one instance, of which I can speak with great confidence.
The common stinging needle , apparently an useless and troublesome a plant as any that has been stigmatized with the name of weeds , is one of the most efficacious medicines we have in the vegetable kingdom: in the form of a strong decoction , or infusion, taken in the quantity of a pint in a day, it is a most valuable strengthener of general or partial relaxation. In that of a weak decoction or infusion, it proves an admirable alternative and deobstruent, in impurities of the blood, and in obstructions of the vessels. And in that of expressed juices , taken by spoonfuls, as the exigency of the case requires, is the most powerful styptic in internal bleedings known. Externally applied, as fermentation or pulvis it amazingly discuses inflammation, and resolves swellings. In the common sore throat, thus applied, and internally, as a gargle, great dependence may safely be put in this common plant. I have been witness to its great efficacy therein in many instances. P.

WARSAW, March 9.
THEY write from the frontiers that defections from the Austrian army are frequent; and that many soldiers have taken refuge in Choczim, where they are employed in the service of the artillery.
The Russian army under Mareschal de Romanzow extends from Brazlaw to the vicinity of Chockim, and nearly joins the Austrian forces; it is said to be composed of 65,000 men.
LEGHORN, March 23.
It becomes every day more apparent, that there will be no accommodation between the Imperial courts and the Ottoman Porte, notwithstanding the pains which some European courts take to procure a negotiation to accommodate differences.—The three powers are
preparing for a campaign, which will probably be very bloody.—The Turks discover a vigour to which we have seldom bore witness: indeed, it is become necessary, as their foes are strong and numerous. The Russian fleet expected here in the summer, is already preparing for.
DUBLIN, April 29.
Yesterday his Excellency the lord lieutenant, escorted in the manner usual on state occasions, proceeded to the house of Peers, whither the commons being summoned, his Excellency delivered the following speech from the throne:
"My lords and gentlemen,
"The very constant and zealous attention which you have given to the dispatch of public business, enables me at this early period of the year to close the session of parliament. And I feel the highest gratification in expressing to you his majesty's entire satisfaction in the temper and wisdom which have uniformly distinguished your deliberations.
"Gentlemen of the house of commons,
"I am commanded by his majesty particularly to thank you for the warm attention which you have shown to the honor and interest of his crown, and for the liberality with which you have provided for the several branches of the public service.
"My lords and gentlemen,
"No object is nearer to his majesty's heart, than the prosperity of his faithful subjects of Ireland. And I reflect with pleasure that your example and influence in your several counties cannot fail to advance that prosperity, by encouraging habits of industry in the people, and impressing upon their minds a due respect for the laws. I am happy that the national tranquility and security enable you to attend to those important objects with peculiar advantage.
"I trust that it is unnecessary to repeat my acknowledgments for the confidence which you have so kindly reposed in me, and to assure you that the liveliest emotions of gratitude and affection will excite my utmost exertions for the welfare and happiness of this kingdom."
After which the Chancellor, by his Excellency's command, said,
"My lords and gentlemen,
"It is his Excellency the lord lieutenant's pleasure, that this parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 17th day of June next, to be then here holden, and his parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 17th day of June next."
LONDON, April 24.
The anxiety of the Imperialists respecting the fate of general Clairfait, whom they long feared was taken prisoner, as he was reconnoitering the enemy's quarters, is removed, it being now known that the general was, at the time his danger was apprehended, dispatched with a secret commission from the court of Vienna to that of the Pacha of Albania.
The paragraphs which have appeared in some of the papers, stating that the duke of Brunswick hath resigned, and that the count Hertzburgh is in disgrace, are totally and completely false. It is equally untrue that the count of Bellin presents an aspect hostile to the peace of Germany. He is likely to be engaged as the mediator to conciliate the belligerent powers, but by no means as an active partizan.
The Duke of Deuz-Ponts has borrowed 100,000 of dollars from the king of Prussia.

SLAVE TRADE.
The number of SLAVES bartered for in the year 1768, on the coast of Africa, from Cape Blanco to Rio Congo , by the different Europeans, was in amount as follows—

These slaves, valued at 15l. each, and all purchased by manufacturers, amount to 1,561,500l. sterling. From the calculation of this single year it is clear that the population of Africa must be very extraordinary, or it never could afford such annual emigrations.
DEBTOR and CREDITOR.
If debtors are to be used like criminals, it would be more consistent with the principles of British constitution to render the offence of getting into debt capital, than to mark it by badges of slavery.
The Romans were a free people, yet by a law of the ten tables, the body of the debtor was in the disposal of the creditors; they might there sell debtor and divide the money, or they might put him to death and divide his body among them.
The latter part of this law was certainly more humane than imprisonment.
When a man is thrown into goal it too often happens, that his wife is thrown upon the parish, his daughters upon the town, his sons upon the gallows.
To sell the debtor and his family, would be to gain them some kind of provision as slaves, their masters would have an interest in giving them subsistence.
POLICE.
The depredations and robberies committed in Dublin, have been traced to their true source. At a committee from the several parishes, composed of noblemen and members of parliament, they say in their report.
“That the innumerable calamities arising from the general abuse of spirituous liquors among the lower ranks of people, make us feel it our indispensable duty to seek for every possible legal mode of redress.
Their resolutions which follow are worthy the attention of the London and Westminster magistrates, they will find in them example demanding imitation.
One resolution states, that houses for retailing spirituous liquors amount upon an average to one fifth part of the whole of the houses.
In another they resolve to hire no servant without a written discharge, and in all discharges to set forth the cause—and particularly never to omit drunkenness.
In aid to the intention of this committee, the master workmen of the different trades, promise to abolish pay tables at public houses.
A deputation of the committee, among whom are three privy counsellors, have waited on the lord lieutenant, to take the nuisance complained of into consideration; and his Excellency has answered “That he is sensible of the importance of the object—and will contribute by every means in his power to the suppression of a practice which is fully stated to be the source of every public evil.

American Occurrences.
SAVANNAH (Georgia) May 29. WE are informed that six negro men, the property of James Spalding, Esq. of the island of St. Simon, ran away lately to St. Augustine. Mr. Spalding followed them, and requested the Spanish governor to permit him to take his negroes, but he was refused; the governor alleging that he had orders from his court to the contrary. While Mr. Spalding was at St. Augustine, three run-away negroes from South-Carolina went and received “protection,” as it is called among the Spaniards. The frequent repetition of this unjust and ungenerous conduct, will not much longer be the subject of remonstrance only.
The following article is copied from a London paper of the 26th of March last: “By the latest accounts from the continent we learn, that the Indian confederacy, planned and fomented by Mr. McGillivray, begins now to take effect, as most of the tribes on the frontiers, from Georgia to the Ohio, are in motion in vast bodies, preparing to spread terror and desolation through the western settlements of the United States of America.”
PETERSBURGH (Virginia) June 5.
By the brig Cesar , Capt. Atkinson, from Barcelona, now lying at City-Point, information is received, in consequence of the governor of Gibraltar refusing the Algerines liberty to have two vessels sheathed there, without orders from his majesty for that purpose, they took offence, inasmuch as to make reprisals of several British vessels; that the British frigates were cruising off Algiers in such numbers as to prevent the Algerine corsairs coming out; that although the vessels had Mediterranean passes, it had become a custom among the captains to ensure themselves; and that the Cesar was convoyed several days by a British frigate. This we have from a gentleman of veracity who had it from the captain's own mouth.
RICHMOND, June 12.
The convention called by the legislature to decide on the constitution submitted from Philadelphia for the United States of America, met at the public buildings and adjourned to the academy, where they have since had that important subject under daily discussion. We are happy to inform the public that the utmost moderation and temper has been hitherto preserved among the members, and the best disposition shown to acquiesce with the opinion of the majority on which side soever it may preponderate, as it is impossible to ascertain what will be the decision. But from the great talents, disinterestedness and respectability of the characters that compose it, we have the highest confidence it will be for the benefit of this country.
SPRINGFIELD, June 18.
We learn from Granville, that a number of buildings were unroofed, others much damaged, and one barn almost new, belonging to Lieutenant David Bates, entirely thrown down by a violent hurricane in the afternoon of the 10th inst. Some fruit trees of considerable size broken and twisted off, and much fence levelled with the ground. A large part of the roof of one barn was carried over a dwelling house to a considerable distance into a neighbouring meadow and dashed entirely to pieces. Happily no lives were lost, nor any person hurt. The hurricane took such a direction, that the more thickly inhabited parts of the town were out of its course. The height of the gale continued but for a short time; otherwise, in all probability, very distressing and destructive consequences, would have ensued.
By a gentleman lately from Stonington, in Connecticut, we learn, in a thunder storm which happened at that place, on Saturday the 14th inst. two men and a number of cattle were killed by lightning.
New-York, June 24.
ON Sunday arrived the sloop Margaret , Bird, Philadelphia, in 4 days; and yesterday arrived the sloop Washington , Webster, Rhode-Island, in 3 days; sloop Hancock , Brown, Rhode-Island, 3 days; Schooner Rebecca , Ryan, Wilmington, in 5 days.
The following laughable circumstance lately happened at a meeting near Moore fields, England. After the discourse the clerk stood up and gave out a spiritual hymn proper for the day. The pitch pipe being mislaid, and the notes in the book by some means obliterated, Moses pitched on a key so immoderately high, that before they had got through one verse they could go no farther; upon this the singing part of the congregation all got up and looked steadfastly on
one another; Moses sensible of the cause of their thus rising, addressed the congregation to the following purport, “Ladies and Gentlemen, to make short of the matter, we wont adjourn, but we will begin again if you please,” the audience sat down content.
LOVE PHILOSOPHICALLY TREATED! Cold indeed must be the constitution, which has not experienced the warm passion—inanimate the wretch, whose has not been pierced.
Attraction, which is the property of the heart, consists in fine imperceptible particles or invisible effluvia, which proceed from every point in the surface of the heart, or attracting body in right-lined directions and which in their progress lightning on other bodies or hearts, urge and solicit them towards the superior attracting body. The laws of this attraction of the heart are as follows. (1) It is very discernable and most powerful in females.—Yet (2) It is mutually excited between each sex. (3) Its force is greatest in beautiful objects. (4) Its effects is insensible at a distance, and is irresistible on contract, i. e. in kissing, &c. (5) Its power varies with the weather: in the cold winter eve, it attracts as friendship; in the evening of June, as desire. (6) Its virtue is impetuous in a dark room. (7) It acts with, and is vastly assisted by, the fiery particles, or imperceptible effluvia from a wanton eye.

POET'S CORNER.
J U N E. IT on the favor'd sons of earth, Are such superior gifts bestow'd, And man, the moment of his birth, Barks in the suffrage of his God; If, as the transient moments roll, That wake to life his genial pow'rs, Whil't reason's rays illume the soul, And health smiles on his early hours; Let gratitude his breast inflame, To Him who plann'd this wond'rous frame. Tis He, who bids the blooming Spring, In all the pride of youth appear; Her annual buds and blossoms bring, Which decorate the infant year. 'Tis He, who bids mild Summer's reign With softening warmth mature the soil; Pourtrays the form of fruits and grain, And animates the peasant's toil. Now Summer's fervour rages round; The sun darts fierce his burning rays; The flocks now seek the covert ground, And Nature pants beneath the blaze: But when cool evening's moist'ning dews Full grateful on the plains descend, Who can the pleasing walk refuse, To share the converse of a friend? Where the wrapt soul may troth impart, Nor speak what's foreign to the heart.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, May 8, 1788.

Resolved, That the said commissioners be directed to continue their unremitting attention to the final adjustment of all accounts which have arisen in the said departments, and to the recovery of all sums for which suits may be commenced; and that at the termination of their commission, they deposit with the register of the treasury all the books and papers of their respective offices, together with a general abstract of the sums due from individuals, in order that immediate measures may be adopted for the recovery of the same.

American Printed Books,
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 streams.—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 becommend 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 un- 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.
