TO England, that he might prosecute his
studies with greater advantage. In England,
Copley became so celebrated, that he was
kniehted by his Majesty, and his only sur
yiyng son was in 1927 created Lord Lynd
hurst, and the same year made Lord High
Chancellor of England. The same cause
operated on West, who like Copley copied
the picture brought out by Smibert, The
result is we'll known. West went TO En-
gland, where, after having studied in Italy,
he became historical painter to George the
third, and was elected President ofrhe Roy
al Academy. The provision made by Berk-
ley, TO Yale College has for upwards of IA
century, encouraged taste for classical
literature. The estate of Whitehall, few
years since produced to the above meution-
ed College $1,000, in addition to an annuity
of upwards of One Hundred Dollars for the
benevolent purpose designed by the gener-
Gus donor, thus advancing hat glorious pc
Rod which was so prophetically anticipated
IN the following Stanzas.
ON THE PROSPECT OF THE ARTS
AND SCIENCES IN AMERICA.
Written By Bishop Berkley rehen in Nep-
port.
" rhe muse disguised at an age and cline
Barren ofevery glorious theme,
In distant lands now waits better time
Producing subjects worthy fame.
In happy climes, where from the genial sun
And virgin earth fresh scenes ensue,
The force ofart by nature seems outdone
And fanced beauties by the true,
In happy ciImes, the seat ofinnocence,
Where nature guides and virtue rules
" here men shall not impose for truth and sense
The pcdanuy of courts and schools.
There shall be seen another golden age,
The rise ofempire and ofarts
The good and great inspiring epic rage,
The wise st heads and noblest hearts
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay
Such as she bred when fresh and young,
When heavenly flame did animate the clay
BY future ages shall be sung.
Westward the course Of empire takes It's way;
The tosr first acts already past
a i'm shall close the drama with the day,
Times noblest offspring is the last"
