Phila. Oft. »6, 1798. d3m
PROPOSALS
BY BENJAMIN DAVIES.
For pvlli/hing by fubfeription,a periodical work
to be entitled The Philadelphia Magazine
and Review ; or, Monthly Repository of
Information and Amusement.
AFTER the many fruitlefs attempts, which
have been made to sllablifti a publication
of this kind in Philadelphia, the proposals bow
submitted, will, perhaps, at firft fight, appear to
be nothing more than soliciting disappointment.
When, however, we observe an eager sea of
after knowledge spreading through all parts in
our coantry, and when we consider, that, ™
these pursuits, Magazines and lie-lidos arc
universally-admitted* utilitv, we are led to be
lieve, that former undertakings ill this way have
j failed from some other cause than the want of
difcernmttit or liberality 111 t'l .fe, to whom the
Editors looked up for Support.
From causes, which aie to.j evident to need
enumerating here, America is, and long nnill be
beholden in a very considerable degree, to the
prefles of Great Britain. The literature of the
two countries is, indeed, a f>rt of common
stock ; but, for one publication of ours, we 1C-
I ccive, at leaff five hundred in return. While
j this is the cafe, it is extreme tolly in the publish-
I er 1 f a periodical work, to rejefl, from a fort of
! lpur'ous pitriotifrn, all information, however
; ufeful, and all amusement, foweverdelightfome,
! merely because it is not of native prudufiion.
| Obvious, however, as the justice of these re
; marks must appear we have very little douhf in
our minds, that an obstinate adherence to a con
trary notion has been the principal eaufe of the
want of success, experiencud by thole who have
gone before us.
Reason and interest unite in dilating to us a
d fierent plan. The Mifcellane»us part, and
principal part, therefore, of the Philadelphia
Magazine, will confiftof choice feleilions irom
thf newest publications of merir, that shall ap
pear in Europe ; but, particulailv from the va.
rious periodical works publifiied in Great-Pri
tain, cf which we have taken care to insure the
very earliest ftipply. At the fame time, we trust
it is unnecefTary 10 fay, that we (hall always re
ceive with pleafiire any original productions of•
genius, in verfeor prose, ot our own country ;
and we flatter ourselves with the hope of being
oftea favoured with the agreeable talk of giving
to such produdlions merited praises and cxh|ii
five publicity.
In felcfling and arranging these materials, to
suit the various tastes of our readers, we are I'en
fible how difficult a task we have undertaken.
Toplealeall, we do not expe<2 : it would be a
v4in prefamption. B"t we are resolved to give
offence to none, so fir as consists with the fuf>e
riorrefpeijl we owe to the sacred cause of reli
gion, morality, and social order. In these are
involved the glory and welfare of our country,
and they will always be the polar flar, that lhall
guide our libors.
The Miscellany will be followed by a month
ly Summary of hews and politics, fore'ign as
well as dbmettic ; under which head will be
comprised a SuccimJl account of the Proceedings
cf the General and State Legijlatures, and the
titles, at lead, of all the laws they lhall enaiS.
The next part of our undertaking, is a l(e
---miew, of thetp'incipal works of n ite published
inCireat-Britain. muft neceflarily
have recouifc to the Ueviews of that country.
Though it will be impossible tor us to furnilh as
complete an analytic as that from which we (hall
, take our materials, we (hall not f.il to give such
an account of every publication reviewed in that
eountry, as willc mvey to our readers informa
tion fufficient to enable them to avail themselves
at a very early llage, of every valuable perform
ance that (hall appear. The advantages ariling
from such information are evident. For want
of if our profeflional men and men of taste are
always kept a year or two in the rear of tbofe
of Great-Britain. Wie do not hear of a work
till a long time after it is publilhed, and many
very valuable ones we never hear of at all. All
the various injuries and privations we fuffer
from this source will, we flatter ourselves, be
entirely done away by a steady adherence to our
plan.
To that of foreign, will be added a Re-view of
Domeflic Publications ; and here, we must con.
fefs, tnat we feel some diffidence, beeaufe the
execution of the talk mud depend, in a great
measure, upon the abilitie's of ourselves How
ever, with a firm resolution tob» guided by de
cency, candour and truth, and to take genius
and virtue by the hand, whenever, and in what
ever garb, we may find them ; with no wi(h to
wound the feelings of any but the wicked, and
with the most finceie desire of feeing our coun
trymen Ihine in every department of literatuie,
we doubt not, that ws (hall be able to acquit
ourselves to the fatisfadlion of all those who
have the good-nature fairly so appreciate our
motives, and the justice to make allowance for
human imperfedlions,
'l he work will close with a monthly record
of Marriages, Births, Deaths, Promotions, and
other caftial incidents.
As to what ccncerns the politics of this coun
try or of Europe, at this merpetitous period, we
(hall always view with jealousy every measure
of the French Government, and it's ever adlive
emiflaries ; ar.d it in thisrefpeifl some men con
sider us as partial or prejudiced, we (hall submit
to their censure. For so full is our convidlion
that the war, which now desolates Europe, and
menaces thiscountty, is a war of ambition and
plunder, on the part of France, that nothing
can induce us to conceal our sentiments, or to
withhold the small afliflance that we ean con
tribute to oppose them. For this reason we in
tend to devote a page or two of every number
to historical fatfls, anecdotes, and remarks on
i the Politics of France, from the age <»f Louis
the Fourteenth to the present more alarming e
i poch. For more than a century pall |ias that
restless and ambitious people been like a volcano
in the centre of Europe, disturbing the furroynd
> ing States by its intrigues, and once in every
1 eight or ten years overwhelming its most fertile
; countries with devaftatian «id carnage.
Indeed it is more than eighteen hundred years
' since the great Roman Orator* thought it his
' duty to warn his countrymen against that con
duit and ihore principles, for which the present
race of Gaols are asjuftly to be dreaded as their
savage ancestors ; " Gallis fidem non habendum,
• hominibus le-vibus, perfidis, et in ipfos Deosim.
• mortales impiis."
By the proper management of this tspic our
countrymen wilbe able'to fee the real charaflerof
the nation, which theyformerly coi.fidered as their
friends, but now more juflly execrate «s rhiir mod
dang-rous enemies; and they will be better prepar
ed to appreciate any overtures, that may be made
hereafter, for tho retloration of peace and amity,
In the fxec-ulion of this part of our dtfign, par
ticularly " we look with confidence lor the lupport
and ailiilanca ol all persons who lhall consider our
motive-as lauda!)!t , and therefore wifa to contri
bute to the luecefs of our deilgn of all who
chink, with us, that the prsfs ha> been too long an
engine of cettrudtion, and that it ought, at length
ro be rendered, a m<an of prefervatiou, and an in
ctrument of prottdion."
