He fays the idea of the work was fuggelled to him by M.

The American advocates for the everlaft \nggratitude of the United States to r ranee, if they will not give credit to the evidence offered by their own government, fliould at least refpett the declarations of the French themselves—that we are under no obliga tions for their aid in the American war, in whick the French became parties for their own fakes alone, and not to procure for lis independence, or any advantage whatever.

IT has fared with the poet of the United States, as it has with the manufac turer of cloths ; each has a good homespun wart) and each has failed of railing that fine nap, , and giving'that, brilliant color to their mantifaftures, which strike the eye of people of fa(hion. As we may without vanity, be p^efumed to be at the top of our trade, we have thought it bur duty to examine critical ly and fcientifically, the most modift), litera ry manufailures of Europe, to discover the causes of their tonifli superiority ; and to avail ourselves of our discoveries, for the benefit of the fine writers as marti'fadUires of our own country. The great Frederick ©t Prussia stole the art of making China from Canton,, and the Englilhman, Wedgwood, by a similar address, has caused the wares of Brimingham and Stafford to rival the porce lain of Potzdam, and the vases of Etruria. We shall proceed to acquaint our brother tradesmen with our discoveries in order. In our opinion, one of the principal causes of the fafhionable superiority of poetry, wo ven in European looms, is the judicious use of epithets. These should be gorgeous, fplejidid, far fetched, and obnubulous ; that is to fay, almost unintelligible. ihe fault of the American Pernafllan weaver is, that he makes both warp and filling of strong, plain, cod sense, wheij the (luff will find a much "eadier market, if he. will merely warp with ] | and fill with epithet. Doubtless, there is now on hand many a durable piece of A merican fluff, which would command a rear dy market, if tambored with choice epithets, after the manner of those ingenious weavers, Mrs. Charlotte Smith, Della Cuus ca, and Anna Matilsa.
