OBSERVATIONS ON THE COR.
EUPTION OF LITERATURE

II N -
kOPIlON OF LITERATURE.
Within a few years our attention has
been iunmoned to great and interehiIne
Phenomeria, in the moral, literary, and CT
VII concerns of men. AT no period, per
haps, have 70 great, and fuceisful exertions
been made to give a new turn to intel
lectual efforts, and a new complexion to
moral fentiments. Hence 1t become,
an Object ofno fmall Importance for us, to
underitand the characters, Of the Efficient
agents lii thsfe changes, the objects which
they had iii view, and the mems by which
they accomplished them.
1t IS a we'll known fact, that great num-
bers OF theie Europeans, who make ~litera-
ture q protection, are the open, or difeuif-
ed abettors O. atheiim that they have been
unwear;ed in their exertions, and auhcd
with their fucceis thar they have ina great
mesture, eagroaed ; the information Of the
public mind, by feizing the avenues of
general interuttion. II, theie men, with
r'c title pages Of morality, metaphysics,
natural p~hlioiophy, plays and novels, have
diaeminated opinions, or countenanced
practices hottie to pure morals, or found
@ic;ence, it becomes neceiIary, Aeadliy to
puriae them through all their windings;
to mark their errors, and expofe their alb
furdi'ies, and, faithfully to warn every
man i~eriouily to reflect before he follows
tllefe new guides, in his mott important
mtereAs.
A great proportion Of tlefe p~Ililofoph;;Rs
have aimed their efforts directly aeaini
cl,rifianity; they have rcprc.eated it, not
only as %ufeleis, but pernicions and endea-
voured to bring it into contempt, by trea-
ting its doctrines, ITS inftitutions, and its
obiea, with mockery and iniult. In this
clats, FIcHrE, a German protector difmif-
fed for his impiety !; WIELAND, a popu-
lar writerof the German fchool, Gopw1N,
KNIGHT, and many others, have diain-
guifhed themfelves by their hbours. On
der the plaaic hands Of thefe men, the great
MATS Of in6del opinions has received a new
impreGon, and the exploded opinions of
PoMPoNATIus and BAILY have been re-
vived, with alterations and amendments.
Although they differ among themfeIves,
in many particulars, they agreein confider-
ing what they call morality or virtue, as
independent Of religion for its foundation
and fupport and, as deriving no authori-
ty from the fentiment of a God, a Provi-
dence, or a future fate.
Hence, they lay down certain abRraa
general principles for the regulation of hu-
