preparation to claim thetarone Of Spain, a.

Literature is one Of those fine nanyae.
lures, which new country will always find
il ea, ier 10 import than 10 raise there must
be great accumulation OF stock in ma
ton, and great subdivision of labor, be-
fore the arts of composition are brought to
any degree Of perfection. The great ave.
nues TO wealth must be filled, and many left
idle in hereditary opulence or mediocrity,
before there be leisure enough, among such
a people, 10 relish the beauties Of poetry,
or 10 create an efectual demand for The pro-
auctions of genius. Though these causes
may for some time retain the genius Of A.
merica in state of subordination to that Of
Europe. we cannot persuade ourselves that
its condition has ever been so deplorable
as TO form proper object Of contempt
There are hundred authors in :merica
who would be ashamed to write like their
calumniators, and Ten thousand men who
are not authors, that are entitled 10 feel
compassion for their insolence and their va
nifty. The truth is, that American genius
has displayed itself wherever inducements
have been held out for lis exertion. Their
party pamphlets are often written with a
keenness and spirit. and their orators fire.
auen,ly possess vehemence, correctness,
and animation, that would command the
admiration Of an European audience.
