FROM realm to realth, with crop or
crejcent crown'd,
Where'er mankind and misery are found.
O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds
of snow,
Great HOWARD journeying seeks the .
house of woe.
Down many a winding Jlep to dungeons dank, ■
Where angidjh wails aloud,and fetter s clank:
To caves btfirew'd with many a mould ring
hone,
And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;
—Onward he moves I—Disease and death
retire,
And murm'ring demons hate him, and ad
mire.

Extrafl from tbe Preface.
« To the honor of Mr. Betquin's taste,
itmaybefaid, ihat he has united simple
elegance wjtli interefling variety, but ri
gidly feparatcd both fiom the slightest ap
proach of whawver is vulgar 01 puerile :
a merit much more cafily pi aifed than imi
tated. Tiie art of anuling child en,whilft
at the fains time, the Infant Geniuses rais
ed and the Hcaiit mended, appears lrom
Iris works to tie no contemptible eti'ort of
the mind. Wherever, the uti
lity of l'uch an undertaking is acknowledg
ed, the reputation ot Mr. Beiquin mult
ever be hi Id in deiei ved elteem.
" Happily fnch is the agreeable verfatiU
ty of Mr. Bei qniii's ltyle a.d genitis, thai
it would be dilhtu tlo pronounce in what
department lie excels s whether in the
lively or the pathetic; the simple language
of narrative, or tbe animated points of
conversation : whether in Jhrewd remarks
upon private life, or in florid description
of the beauties of nature.
" Pieces of every various excellence
that is to be found in the writings of Mr.
Berquin, compole the following volume,
which, it is hoped, will be thought a valu
able substitute (whe.e such may be prefer

works of the fame author."
