Fran the New-York Gazette and General Advertiser, IT might be ufeful did eyery reads a book with plcafure and advantage poijn it out to others, efpeciallv if tlie hook be new and not generally known. Under this iinpreffion, I take the liberty of recommend ing to all lovers of found learning and true criticism, a late work published in London entitled " The Pursuits of Literature, a s tirical Poem in four dialogues—with notes." The firft dialogue was firit published in 1704 the second and third in 1796, and the fourth in r797. Thqy were collefted and publish ed in one volume o&avo in 1798, and the edition which I have seen, i> said to be the seventh, revised. The author of this work is unknown. " I declare to the public," fivys h», " that neither my name, n«r my situation in life will ever be revealed."—And again, « I t will be idle to conjettun? concerning the au thor, and more than foolifh to be very in quilltive." His motive for this is, as he fays, not " the apprehension of any private resentment," but that his name could add no weight, and might hinder the rood ef fects of his satire. " The general fubjeft," in his. own words, " is Literature, however exerted, whe ther for the benefit, or for the injury- of mankind and he- declares it to be his 0- pimon, "that Literature, well or ill conducted, IS THE GREAT ENGINE hy which all civlfifod states must ultimately ie supported or overthrown." With this view he Uiews the deftruAivc tendency of many publications of this-age, to morality, social orderand happiness.. He is particularly fc vere on Godwin's Political Justice, andEn guircr ; 011 Volncy's Ruins; and on the novel or romance called the Monk by Mr. Lewis.- The Angularity.pf work is, the notes are, and were intended to form the chief part, Tte author tlynks, " that, in the present change of irfanners, opinions, government and learincr, a variation is now required in the mode of coudu&i.ig satirical writings, by calling in the reciprocal aflift ance of poetry and the fajne work." Though so many notes may not divert the attention from the poem',' 'and leem a little troublesome, yet no man would wifhtliem abl'ent ; and having firfl read the poem in connexion with the notes, he will findtt, on a f'eeoiid pjsrufal, better understood, and as. -fordinga moreexquitite rclifh. Perhaps, there will be found no where, fa accurate* an account of the writers of this dav, 1c great a body of just criticism, and a work so well calculated, in every refpeft, to gratify the scholar, the man of taste, and the lover of mankind, as " The Pursuits of Lite rature." Ihe quotations, however, from the ancient Greek writers are so numerous,as to render an American edition difficult. I shall conclude with giving a few short extrafts from thtt poem. I have marked ma ny paflages both in this and the notes, some ot which I may hereafter fend for publica* tion. On Dr. PRIESTLEY. 1 " If I may write, let Proteus Priestley telti He writes on all things, but on nothing well; Who, it the D*tnon of the day decrees, Air, books, or water makes with equal ease." He is introduced in another place with a reference to the religious controversy be tween him and Bithop Horfly. " SocinLus Jroops, and baffled Priestley flif. And at the lirength of Horfly /brinks and dies." ON GODWIN. " Godwin's dry page no flatefman e'er believ'd 'I hough aids, what lophiftry conceiv'd. ON EfiSKINE. "In flats affairs all Barrifiers are dul!, And Erfkine nods, the opium in his skull." I wish I could accompany those quotati ons with their notes, which are very charac terise. The following encomium or Sir William Jones, ontr'of the Judges in Bengal, is beautiful and j'uft : " He to, whom Indus and the Ganges mourn, The glory of their banks from Ifis torn, In learning's ftrcngth is fled, in prime, In /cience temp'rate, various, and fubKme : To him familiar every legal doom, The Courts of Athens, or the Jialls of Rome, Or Hindu Vedas taught ; for him the Mtife Diftill'd from every flow'r Hyblean dews; Firm when exalted, in demeanour grave, Mercy and truth were his, he lov'd to save» lis mind collected ; at opinion's (hock ones flood unmov'd, and from the GhrifU** rock, Teleflial brightness beaming on his breast, )f lefaw this star. and worlhipp'd in the Halt.
