PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the courthouse. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain or all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shewn to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

Forty Dollars Reward.
Left my service on Thursday last, NEGRO LEWIS, about 18 years old, not very black, supposed to be between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 8 inches high, straight and rather slender made, two of his upper front teeth gone, which leaves a considerable gap—his dress not recollected, except when he went off he had on a coarse drab colored roundabout jacket and blue mixed kersey pantalettes much worn & had been patched with striped home-made cloth—he may change his cloaths, as his acquaintance in the county and Alexandria and neighborhood is extensive—he is slovenly in his apparel, pert, talkative and assuming among his equals.
ALSO, ON NEXT MORNING,
NEGRO EMANUEL, 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, stout made across the shoulders, large feet, very much knock-kneed, which occasions an appearance of a rocking motion in walking, of a lighter shade than Lewis; his cloaths not known, as he has sundry and frequently changes them; he is a good sawyer and waggoner, and at any work of a farm none superior. I did suppose Lewis only absconded for fear of correction, he having been very impertinent to his overseer; but Emanuel, who has a wife in the neighborhood from whom he has removed his cloaths, having also absconded, I suppose it is intended by them to endeavor to get entirely off. If taken in the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, or Alexandria. I will give 20 dollars for both, or 10 dollars for either, and if out of those counties or the state the above reward for both or one half for either, if brought home or so secured that I get them, and all reasonable charges for one or both.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That all acts repealed, or mentioned or intended to be repealed by the said act to interdict commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and their dependencies, shall be and remain repealed notwithstanding any part of the same act which has been or may hereafter be revoked or annulled, or which may expire by its limitation: Provided, That all the penalties and forfeitures which may have been incurred on account of any infraction of the act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, or of any of the acts supplementary thereto, or of the act to enforce and make more effectual an act, entitled "An act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States," or of any of the provisions of the act to interdict the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, and for other purposes, shall, after the expiration of any of the said acts or of any provisions thereof, be recovered and distributed in like manner as if the said acts and every provision thereof had continued in full force and virtue.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTH AMERICAN.
SIR,
Accidentally, on my passage thro' this state, I met with an extract from your paper recommending the introduction of the Camel to the southern sections of the union, as an animal of burthen. Many years ago I held a command on the southern frontiers of Georgia, and had occasion to reconnoitre a very considerable part of that country; I remarked much inconvenience in transporting the productions of interior plantations to navigable waters, by reason of the weakness of the working cattle and horses; obstructions of loose sands and slippery clay bottoms, and the want of forage to support teams: for these are impediments which can never be wholly removed—A remedy can be had by introducing the camel. I formed this opinion soon after becoming acquainted with the customs and habits of the Moors and Arabs on the coast of Africa; and it was my intention to have sent a number of that and other animals from that coast to some of my friends in the southern states, had not adversity defeated my designs. All which is stated in the piece above alluded to, concerning the use of the camel I can confirm from actual experiment. About five hundred camels bore our baggage, provision and camp equipage from the borders of Egypt to the eastern provinces of Tripoli. They were driven by Arabs. The region thro' which we passed was extremely sterile. In a march of about six hundred miles in the desert we saw neither a cottage, a fruit tree, nor a natural stream of water—On the borders of mountains and in the ravines we found a miserable shrubbery; wild thyme, thistle, a kind of dwarf sweet briar, low and knotted thorn bushes, and here and there a little herbage. Two provisions were made for the subsistence of our camels—The proportionate burthen laden on each of them was about seven hundred weight. The vallies between the high grounds and mountains are plains of sand, in some places deep and quick. In many instances we were compelled to march two, three, or four days through these dreary plains without affording any forage to those patient animals; and it was only when we fell in with such coarse vegetation as I have before described, that they were loosed from their hampers and permitted to roam under the vigilance and responsibility of their drivers; they seemed to prefer the roughest weeds, and were peculiarly fond of thistle and wild thyme. Though, from the scantiness of this wretched kind of forage, they became low in flesh, not one of them failed; and I am persuaded from my own observation that they did not have water more than four or five times during a passage of fifty days. The scanty supplies which we took from accidental cisterns and rare reservoirs hardly kept alive our famishing host, and our cavalry horses, which cannot subsist without drink. One Arab was allowed to the care of ten camels. How useful might this animal be rendered on the plains of our southern climates? Cold weather, freezing, is destructive to them; and they make a laborious and weary progress among rocks.
In such parts of the southern states as where roads are imperfect, and where the mails and other communications are carried by horses, the Dromedary would also be a useful introduction.—This animal seems to be a species of the camel; less in size; not calculated for burthen; slender of frame; easy of motion, and speedy of travel. Its general daily march is about sixty miles—when pushed one hundred. It feeds on the same plants as the camel and is equally docile and obedient. It is remarkable that the camel always kneels to receive its burthen, and has the sagacity to know and complain when too much is imposed for his strength; he kneels also to be unladen.
Other kinds of useful animals might also be brought from Africa. They have the finest mules on the Barbary coast I have ever seen in any country; and the means of
producing the same quality here may be easily obtained and transported. An excellent species of sheep are found there, upon which some beneficial experiments have been made upon the plantations of Judge Peters of Pennsylvania. Some valuable tropical fruit trees from that coast, unknown in our country, I think might be made to flourish in the vicinity of New-Orleans, on the banks of the Mississippi, and on our southern frontiers; particularly the palm tree. It produces a fruit extremely nutritious, which forms a chief article of subsistence to the sun-browned wanderers of the interior of Barbary and Egypt; is very delicious, and is a rare treat as a dessert upon the boards of gentlemen in Europe and America.
This sketch is imperfect; but not incorrect. A passenger and a late hour must apologize for imperfection. I shall be glad to correspond with any gentlemen who feel and will take an interest in this subject; and, if circumstances allow, would willingly have a concern in an enterprise which I believe might, in process of time, be rendered very useful to our country.
Accept, sir, I pray you, the assurance of my considerate friendship and respect. WILLIAM EATON.
The following proclamation we believe has not yet appeared in this country.—We copy it from the London Courier of April 21:—
OFFICIAL.
Proclamation of the Archduke Charles. "VIENNA, April 6."
"The protection of our country calls us to new exploits. As long as it was possible to preserve peace by means of sacrifices which were consistent with the honor of the throne, with the security of the state, and with the welfare of the people, the heart of our bountiful sovereign suppressed even painful feeling in silence, but when all endeavors to preserve our happy independence from the insatiable ambition of a foreign conqueror prove fruitless, when nations are falling around us, and when lawful sovereigns are torn from the hearts of their subjects, when in fine the danger of universal subjugation threatens even the happy state of Austria, and their peaceable fortunate inhabitants: then does our country demand its deliverance from us, and we stand forth in its defence.
"On you, my dear brother soldiers, are fixed the eyes of the universe, and of all those who still feel for national honor and national prosperity. You shall not share the disgrace of becoming the tools of oppression. You shall not carry on the endless wars of ambition under distant climes. Your blood shall never flow for foreign interests and foreign covetousness; nor shall you be the curse alight to annihilate innocent nations, and over the bodies of the slaughtered defenders of their country to pave the way for a foreigner to the usurped throne. A happier lot awaits you; the liberty of Europe has taken refuge under our banners. Your victories will loose our fetters, and your brothers in Germany, yet in the ranks of the enemy, long for deliverance. You are engaged in a just cause, otherwise I should not appear at your head.
On the fields of Ulm and Marengo, where of the enemy so often remind us with tentatious pride, on these fields will we renew the glorious deeds of Wurtzburg and Ostrach, of Liptengen (Stockah) and Zorach, of Verona, of the Trebla and Novara. We will conquer a lasting peace for our country; but the great end is not to be attained without great virtues. Unconditional subordination, strict discipline, persevering courage, and unshaken steadiness in danger, are the companions of true fortitude. Only a union of will and a joint operation of the whole lead to victory.
"My sovereign and brother has invested me with extensive powers to reward and punish. I will be every where in the middle of you, and you shall receive the full thanks of your country from your general on the field of battle. The patriotism of many of the Austrian nobility has anticipated your wants; this is a pledge of the fullest measure, of the public gratitude: the punishment shall also, with inflexible rigour, fall on every breach of duty: merit shall meet with reward, and offence with madnessversion, without distinction of person or rank; branded with disgrace, shall the worthless person be cast out to whom life is dearer than his and our honor. Adorned with the marks of public esteem will I present to our sovereign, to the world those brave men who have deserved well of their country, and whose names I will ever carry in my heart.
"There remains one consideration which I must put you in mind of: the soldier is only formidable to the enemy in arms; civil virtues must not be strangers to him.

of the field of battle, towards the un- armed citizen and peasant, he is moderate, compassionate, and humane: he knows the evils of war, and strives to lighten them. I will punish every wanton excess with so much greater severity, as it is not the in- tention of our monarch to oppress neighbor- ing countries, but to deliver them from their oppressors and to form with their princes a powerful band in order to bring a- bout a lasting peace, and to maintain the general welfare and security. Soon will foreign troops in strict union with us, attack the common enemy. Then brave compan- ions in arms! honor and support them as your brothers; not by vain glorious high words but many deeds do honor to the warrior; by intrepidity before the enemy you must show yourselves to be the first soldiers.
"Thus then shall I one day lead you back to your country, followed by the re- spect of the enemy, and by the gratitude of foreign nations, after having secured by our arms an honorable peace, when the sa- tisfaction of our monarch, the approbation of the world, the rewards of valor, the blessings of your fellow citizens, and the consciousness of deserved repose, await you."
"CHARLES, Archduke, "Generalissimo."

MONDAY, JULY 3.
The federalists and the democrats were so wide apart, that those who pretended to be moderate, insisted that there was no way to restore political tranquillity but by compromise. But how could a compromise be effected? The measures of the present executive thus far seem to point out a meth- od which appears very practicable; rulers chosen by democrats; measures taken from the old federal school. Let the democrats support the policy for sake of the men; and we will support the men for sake of the policy. Thus will harmony be ensured, and what is of infinitely more importance, our country will be saved.
[Repertory.]
Mr. John Adams. —This unhappy old man is perhaps in one respect, rendering the federal party a greater service than he ever has done during his life; for he now tells the people that the measures of his ad- ministration did not accord with the senti- ments of the leading federalists of the day. Those obnoxious measures, then, which lost the party their popularity and forced them to change hands, were not the mea- sures of the federal party, but of John A- dams. Let this be remembered. I have no fears in saying let this be remembered, or whenever the federalists come into pow- er again, it will be seen they will be as far from adopting the measures and policy of Adams as of Jefferson. We are at length about to regain the power which the wild and wavering policy of the former lost us, and we only wait for the opportunity to convince the people, that we are the true disciples of Washington; not members of the school of John Adams.

Encouragement to Hatters.
A machine has recently been invented by Hatter in Walpole, New Hampshire, for cutting fur from the pelt, by the help of which one person will cut more fur than five will in the usual method. This valuable improvement is recommended to the liber- ality of the hat manufacturers in the United States, as one eminently entitled to their patronage. The inventor has obtained a patent for said machine.
From the New-York Gazette.
Messrs. Lang & Turner, GENTLEMEN, An article was inserted in one of the pub- lic newspapers in this city that I had three seamen impressed from the ship Virginia, an English ship of war. To remove any impression from the public mind, that such a vague publication may have made, it is proper to state that my crew consisted mostly of Eng- lish seamen, who had been in prison at Bra- unswick for some considerable time—who for- merly belonged to the English frigate Flo- ra, which was wrecked on the coast of Hol- land; and by the influence of our consul, Mr. Bourne, I got them from prison, as also as many as manned four other vessels belonging to the United States. On being boarded by an officer from admiral Mark's ship, three of said seamen claim- ed his protection.
ARCH. CROCKER.
New-York, 24th June, 1809.
For the Alexandria Daily Gazette.
A few of our citizens of both sexes, of the first standing in society, honored the little orator on Saturday evening with their audience, and we believe the impression he made on them will by no means diminish his numbers this evening , as we now have had a "taste of his quality."
There was but one expression, one senti- ment in the room, and that was, he was cer- tainly a very extraordinary genius, and far surpassing their anticipations. Any person who was present can vouch to the verity of the assertion, & we cannot forbear advising those ladies and gentlemen to recommend the young gentlemen to the notice of their friends on this last occasion. The rising generation will be benefitted—and the na- ture of years gratified. It must sensibly af- fect the heart of every American, to see our country produce a genius, that if proper- ly cultivated, may shine a star as bright and resplendent as any in the eastern or western hemisphere. We have found his birth to be in Philadelphia, in January, 1802. his parents are true Hibernians, and emi- grated in the year 1801. It appears he has never been to school, but has been, and is now, educating by his father, who means to make him an honest lawyer . He studies with a rapidity which would baffle belief— and has we are informed, committed 200 lines in 40 hours, in Princeton New Jersey. His manners in private life borders more on sincerity than suavity , and he appears as if he would penetrate to the heart rather than trust to the shew of the countenance . With confidence he is announced as an un- common boy, and worthy, well worthy of support. As the disposition has been be- gun to encourage him, so we anxiously hope it may end to some advantage this evening .
BOSTON, June 27.
From Halifax.
We were yesterday favored with a Hal- ifax paper of the 16th instant, mentioning the arrival of the Packet Mary, from Falmouth, for New York. Her London papers were to May 6. The latest by one day. The following are the only new articles which we find extracted.
LONDON, May 6.
Letters, received from Holland, mention a report of the king of Saxony having been arrested by order of Bonaparte, on suspicion of having carried on a secret correspon- dence with the emperor of Austria, but this is not confirmed.
On the 28th of March, lord Collingwood sailed from Minorca for the Bay of Toulon, with 13 sail of the line. We have not learn- ed, on this occasion, any thing, by way of Gibraltar, respecting the South of Spain.
Yesterday the admiralty had advices from Gijon, where the utmost activity prevailed to augment the army in that quarter, and to improve its discipline; to which the mar- quis de la Romana had particularly directed his attention. A letter was also received from Santander by a mercantile house. The garrisons which we have before stated to have been much reduced, had not been re- inforced, and some expectation was indulg- ed that the French would abandon as unten- able, under their present circumstances, the entire province of Biscay.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated June 15.
"The London paper of May 6, by the Packet, says "Dutch papers are just receiv- ed. They contain a telegraphic communi- cation, that the Austrians and French had met—and that the former had experienced a defeat attended with the loss of 25,000 men." I fear there is some truth in it."
[The accounts received at New York are also from Holland.]

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendant of Police recom- mends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keep- ing clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them.
He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired— housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.

He has already disposed of his right to the state of Maryland, and some counties in Virginia, and is willing to dispose of rights for counties in the different states to the southward of the Potomac river, and also for the territory of Louisiana.

One half acre of Ground, situate at the south east corner of Duke and Royal-streets, on which there are two excellent brick dwelling houses, one of which is an elegant three story house built within the last year, finished in the handsomest stile, and calculated to accommodate a large family.—This lot will be divided if required, to suit purchasers.

Valuable Property for Sale.
Pursuant to a deed of trust made by ELISHA JANNEY to the subscriber for the benefit of his creditors, will be exposed to public sale, before the tavern door of Zachariah Ward, in the town of Occoquan, at twelve o'clock, on FRIDAY, the twenty-first of next month—
That valuable MILL-SEAT,
the property of the said Janney, situate in the said town of Occoquan. On this site was erected, about ten years ago, a spacious three story brick mill house, which ever since has been occupied as a manufacturing mill until about five weeks ago it was destroyed by fire: the stone work of the mill and a considerable part of the brick work still stands and would be found sufficiently substantial to erect new work upon it—considerable part of the iron work would also answer for a new mill, which might with these aids be erected in time to grind the growing crop of wheat. The advantages appertaining to this valuable property which in the driest season never wants water, are so generally known as hardly to need a particular enumeration. Suffice it to state, that it is situated in a healthy and flourishing little town at the falls of Occoquan river, about 16 miles south of Alexandria, on the great stage road leading from north to south in the heart of a fine wheat country, and has navigable tide water to the mill door where vessels may come of sufficient burthen to carry 400 to 500 barrels of flour.
ALSO,
At the same time and place will be exposed to sale,
The TANYARD and the Im-
provement thereon, which are calculated for the carrying on the tanning business to advantage and on a large scale, together with the stock of Leather, &c. on hand.
ALSO,
Will be exposed for sale, at the same time and place,
One undivided Moiety of a
Tract of Land, containing about 500 acres, situate on the north side of the Occoquan river, very valuable from the quantity of fine timber which it contains.
Terms of sale for the real property will be—Ten per cent. on the purchase money payable within 60 days by negotiable notes well endorsed—for the residue a credit will be given of one, two and three years on equal payments with interest from the date, and a deed of trust upon the property to secure the payments will be required.
For further particulars, those who may desire to purchase will be pleased to apply to Mr. Nathaniel Ellicott, at Occoquan, or to the subscriber at Bush-Hill, near Alexandria.

JUST RECEIVED.
FOR SALE ONLY BY James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET The following highly valuable MEDICINE Price 3 Dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO,
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common laced remark however is too often FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitted efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and ther warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.

VALUABLE LAND
FOR SALE,
Distant 23 miles from Georgetown and Alexandria, 19 miles from Occoquan Mills, and twenty from Dumfries, and within two miles and a half of the Little River Turnpike Road. It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Potomac runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excellent, and, to a grazier especially, would be a source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy. This land is decidedly benefitted by the plaster of Paris. On it is a very good site for a mill, the stream being one of the most constant in the part of the country. There are about 800 acres in wood, heavily timbered. The improvements are, a dwelling house newly fitted up consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets, three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cellar, a kitchen, corn house, meat house and stables. Likewise the overseer's house, one in each county, with other necessary houses or negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neighborhood.
Persons disposed to purchase may be supplied on the first named tract with a large stock of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, farming utensils. The subscriber willing to emigrate southwardly will dispose of the above mentioned property on the most reasonable terms.
Information respecting the property may be had by application to the honorable Judge Washington of Mount Vernon, H. S. Turner, Esquire, of Jefferson county, or in the absence of the subscriber to Bernard Hooe, jun. Esq. living near the premises.

Just Published, FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha &c. &c. Price handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil—Avant, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD H.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop, but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira by Lewis.
