4 Dissertation on the Art Of Flying.
Among the artists that had been allur-
ed into the happy valley, to labor for the
and pleasure of its inhabi-
tantS, was a man eminent for his knOwl-
edge of the mechanic powers, who had
contrived many engines both of use and
recreation. BY wheel which the stream
turned he forced the water into "A tower,
whence it was distributed to all the apart
ments of the palace. He erected pavil-
ion in the garden, around which he kept
the air always cool by artificial showers.
One of the groves, appropriated to the
ladies, was ventilated by fans, to which
the rivulet that ran through it gave a
constant motion; the instruments of soft
music were placed at proper distances, Of
which some played by the impulse of the
wind, and some by the power of the
stream.
This artist was sometimes visited by
Rasselas, who was pleased with every
kind of knowledge, imagining that the
time would come when all his acquisi-
tiOns should be of use to him in the open
world. He came one day to amuse him

Freedom spirit, eagle heart,
Full OF life thou vert and art!
Tender was thy glance, and bland;
Luminous thy giving hand;
Sweet rs fragrance on the sense

And thy coming, like the spring,
Moved the saddest lips to sing.
Wealth above all argOsics!
Sunshine of our dropping eyes!
BE to Heaven for Heavens desert
Fair as unto us thou vert.

Never sorrows lightest breath
Links thy happy name with death,
Lest therein our love should be,
