It is some merit,, however, even to i'i-11, trom the benevolent detire of accom modating the public. In the Aurora, we observe an advertife nient of " Slender's Letters." We are ig norant of the Letters of Slender, but they come to us in so quefhonable shape, that it is fuggffted whether by antithesis, they might not more aptly be entitled, Letters oj Slandek. We have been so long without news, that hungry quidnuncs, having eked out their last iota cf patience, do incontinently set themfclves about fabricating " murders mofl foulj and molt unnatural." A Bookft'iler who has in repeated intlan cesdeferved well of the Republic of Letters, by him luminal's and correct editions, of ufeful and orthodox works, is engaged in reprinting, in this enlightened and liberal metropolis, that great pioduflion, 'File PtlltSUlTS OF I.ITKRATUUE. A Work more apt, and more adequate to ccrre&irg times like the present, will in vain be fought in the rounds of modern literature. Mr. Matthias (the imputed author) may with propriety be fly led the literary Hcftor »f the Age ; for he poffefFes all the patriotic fire and ardent courage and heroic frjrtltui'e of that immortal chieftain. We venture to predift he will never find an Ac hilles, in tbefe latter time?. Of Republicans and their fy(ferns J it is true, he entertains an in effable contempt. But with liberal minds this can surely be 110 obstacle to the circu lation of his works. Our Republicanism is an Atbos which can never be digged through. Of this work, it is remarked by an acute and ingenious Englilh writer (the author of "the Unfexed Females,") that "many, whole politics, and even religion, had been long watering, are now Jixcd in their prin ciples by " The Pursuits of Literature."
