PROSPECTUS
or THE


Rhodc-Island Literary Repository.
ITO the want Of some literary periodical publica.
ton in this State, it is undcniably owing, that
our sons of science have, yet, acquired reputa
tion abroad, and that amongst those States which
have been considered the fostercrs and patrons of
learning, Rhodc-Island has never been allowed
rank The advantages resulting from the regular
publication Of some repository for literary commu-
nic~tions, in preserving useful discoveries, in con-
ccntrang talent, in stimulating 20 cxertion by offer
ing opportunity for public distinction, and in CIV
Jog publicity to important improvements are too OBJ
vious to be here insisted on The want Of such
work has been long felt, acknowledged and lament
ed by all the friends Of learning in this State. Ger
tainly then, the present prospectus of periodical
work, 10 be devoted entirely the cause of science,
literature and arts, vill not be received with indif
ference by any ones to whom the literary reputation
of this state is dear. eser0 stf
