Your BAcx-sTUFF principle was invented
fome fifteen or twenty years fince in France,
and there attempted TO be uted in making Ailig-
mats, sc. For this it feems you haze not
iecured patent, your object being the public
good. The project however is ingenious, and
at the time of its difcovery, there was fanguine
belief that it would operate as an infall6le
check. But it proved other,viic. After the o.
riginal die ofplate is engraved and cracked, and
the impreilion given to the paper, it may then
by very common and fmple procefs be tranf-
ferred to a copper plate. The cracked line
imprefiions may be firft traced by fine point
ed tool, and the whole then engraved, and made
to initiate the true bill as nearly and correctly as
one engraVing can be made to initiate another.
The nereotype on the contrary, cannot be en-
graved; the work being iuit the reverfe of en-
craving. 1t is as eafy to initiate Mezzotinto
by the cngraver'S tool as the plates in queition.
Engravers of the frft abilities in the United
States have pronounced it thing not within
the compass of their art.
Thus, Sir, i hope have, at leaf, convinced
you that your objections are founded upon a
misunderstanding of the principles of the inven-
ton. Should any other hereafter arife, which
are predicated on as difin6t view of the fub-
,ject, ifall be happy to anfwer them.

The following fong of Erin 60 Srah, is faid to

OF national fong. 1t was faid 1--WE believe
by Voltaire)" let me make the fongs for ma

With refpeet to patriotifm or national erthu-
hafm, we conceive this to be correct where
the inpulie of fentiment precedes the deduc-
tons of reafon. When feeling and ointment
are arbiters, this fong with its appropriate
mufc, muft always have frouc effect. There
is an uuqueftionab!e affinity between the pa
thos of ientirnent and the pathos Of melody,
andw this affinity, and the corresponding
effect, the author of this fong has been well
acquainted the frf three veries denote Ia

adapted to the foft or eiFe6iuofo tiIe of muiic !;
the fncceeding verfcs admit more of the an
dante, coinciding with the fentiment and cho-
rus which are exprefiive ofhope.
We preiume that all who have taite will not
differ from us in the concuiion. d.

b. far the mott curious and intereffing work
that has appeared within the la1 fix months, &,
we may very fairly fay, one of the moh curious,
valuable, and :ntereaing which has appeared for
many years paft, is MIR. GoDwiN's I" Life and
-fge of Cbaflee;," the father at once of EnglifI
poetry and Of the Engliih language. The i'm
portance and magnitude of fuch a fubjeet are
not to be appreciated By hafy view ofit nor
do the labour, the judgment, the tate, and Ia
lent, requhte for the talk admit of an eafy Ell
mate. The full and complete Life, it is jufly
obtcryed by Mr. Goodwin, Of a poet would in
clude IN extenfye fuTvey of the manners, the
opinions the arts, and the literature, of the age
in which the poet lived. 4" Thisis the only way
in which we can become truly acquainted with
the hiftory of his mind, and the caufes which
made him what he was. We mutt obftrve
what Chaucer felt and faw, how he was educa-
ted, what fpecies Of learning he purified, and
what were the objects, the events, and the per-
fcns, fuccefiively prelented TO his view, before
VIC can ftrictly and philofophicaliy underitand
his biography. To delineate the fate of En-
gland, iuCh as Chaucer faw it, in every point of
view in which it can be deiineated, is the fubjset
of This book.-But while engaged in this ftudy,
the reader may expect to gain an additional adj
vantage bciide that of understanding the poet.
If the knowledge Of contemporary objects is
the biography of ChauCer, the converie of the
propotition will alto be true, and the biography
of Chaucer will be the picture of a certain por-
ton Of the literary, political, ard domefic, hif-
tory Of our own country. The perion Of Chau-
Ger may, in this view, be confdered as the CEN
trail figure in miscellaneous painting, giving
unity and individual application to the various,
particulars with which the canvas is diverfified.
No man of moral fentiment or Of tate will af- |
hrm, that more becoming central figure 20 the |
delineation of England in the fourteenth centu- !
ny can be found, than the Englilhman who |
gives name to the volumes."
Mr.. Goodwin indeed appears in every page
% be fully imprefled with the arduoufnefs & the
importance of the undertaking in which he has |
engaged. lie advanced to the labour however, |
with powers not incommenfurate with itsmae- |
