TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at r
crisis peculiarly nterefting to the Art* : A
midst the ravages of war, and the convulG
ons of a revolutionary age, they must inevi
tably languish and expire, unless the fame
happy country, which affords an sfyfcm to
the persons of the perfecctcd and dillrdTed,
shall fofter and patronize the labour and afG
dnity of men of genius and talents. Advanc
ing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power,
reputation and opulence, America, even iu
a state of universal tranquility, must soon
have become the rival of Europe in learn ic r
and taste, as well as her fu peri or in morality
and government. Under die present circum
stances of the world, however, the oppor
tunity occurs to anticipate the destined peri
od 01 pre-emincnce ; and to render America
at this eventful hour, the guardian and pro
te&refe of every science that can enlighten,
and of every art that can adorn the human
mind.
On thfc principle, more than the claim of
merit, the Author presumes he (hall not fail
to attra& the public attenfion ; but flill, ht
hopes, that he will not be found altogether
undefervir.g or defe&ive, either in the choic
or execution of his fubjeet. No country pos
sesses fccnes better calculated to inspire idea*
of the beantiftfl and sublime; to exalt the
foul as the philo'opher, to enliven the long
of the poet, or animate the pencil of th
painter, than those which lie profnfely scat
tered over the American continent : But un
fortunately there is no country, whose native
charms have been so fuperficially explored, or
so impcrfe&ly delineated. Hitherto, indeed
the toil of converting a wilderness into a flat.*
of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the
necelTaries and comforts of life; andhf adap
ting civil to the genins of a new
nation, r eems to have been luificicnt to es-
I gage a 4 the strength, and all the talcn.s of
the inhabitants of America. The people of
Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by
wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely,
comparatively overstepped the
boundaries of their continent in pure search
of information or pleas re. The ruins of
art, which encumber their domestic lcenery,
have beer. preferred to the noveitiesof natore
which arifc in other regions; and the time
has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence
to the Miflifipi would have been less valued,
than the fe&ion of a palace, or a muttktec
fragment of antiquity But iu refpe<ft to
both, a revolution in situation and sentiment
las been accompliihcd. The American finds
leisure, with a retrofpedive and joyfid sensi
bility of heart, to admire the graces, as well
as to reap the abundance which providence
has bellowed on this country; and the Euro
pean is compelled, with an anxious and ex
pectant eye, to look ebroad for that peace &
prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at
home.
The attention of mankind being thus di
rected towards this country, every thing that
relates to its physical, as well as to its politi- ,
cal interest, will, it is presumed, receive a
liberal encouragement. The Author of the
present work, therefore, confidently makes (
the experiment on a new fubjed, and in a
new style of execution. The art of engrav
ing in Aqvatinta, has indeed, for some time
been held in high estimation throughout Eu
rope; its clofc imitation of finifhed draw
ings, and the free but forcible manner in
which it depi&s the light and graceful touch
es of nature, are properties, that seem pecu
liarly adapted to the American fccnery,fome
of the tints and colors of whith are certain
ly no where eife to be found.
E.vclnfiveof these advantages, it is likewif
in contemplation to render the work a repo-
Gtory of descriptive topographical and hiiic
rical fa<fts refpe&ing the circumjacent cour
try from which the views were taken; bu.
