THE WOOD-CUTTER.
BY BIBDIN.
Farremoved from noise and smoke,
Hark ! I hear the woodman’s stroke,
W io dreams not, as he fells the oak,
«What mischicl dire he brews ;
How art may shape bis falling trees
Xu aid of luxury and ease;
He weighs nct matters such as these,
But sings, and hacks, and hews,
Perhaps, now feil’d by this bold man,
The tree shall fora the spruce sedan,
Or wheel-barrow, where oysier Nax
85 rans her vulegarning ;
¢ The stage where boxets croud in flocks,
Or else the gaacks, or else the stocks,
Or posts, or signs, or barher’s blocks,
Where smiles the parson’s wig,
Thou mak’t bold peasant, O what grief !
The gibbet on which hangs the thiel,
The'scat where sits the great lord chiet,
Malk’st folly’s whims, pride
For children toys, crutches fo age,
Zmd coffins for us all.

It is found that the Paper will require
to be 38 by 26 instead of 36 By 24 inches;
as there is no Copper-plate Press suffici-
ently large to work off sdch an impression
a Press inust be mags for the purpose.
The difticulty of pratuming officiel impres-
sions, drawings afd, descriptions of the
Avms of the regpective States, has proved
anottier source of delay. Many of those
that have been received, are of so imper-
tect and confined a character——the draw-
ings so inelegant; and often so inaccurate ;
cot conforming in design to the certified
description—that it was found indispensa-
ble to engage an Astist ol science, taste
and skill, to reconcile the discordant ma-
terials, and make the drawings harmonize
with the deseriptiona on record. This
task Mr. Sudly has undertaken; and is pro-
ceeding in it with all toe zeal that the sub-
ject requires ; and he will compleat the
Arms of the several States in such a man-
ner as to make this publication the stand-
ard of reference for accurate knowledge
on tne heraldry of the Union, and as a spe-
cimen of National taste,
It shall be delivered to subscribers at
TEN dollars cach copy; to be paid on de-
iivery.
The engraving will be accompanied by
a Pamrungr, containing the off cial docu-
ments connected with the publication as
authorities, and a list of the subscribers’
names.
The engravings will be delivered to sub-
scribers in the order in which they may
have subscribed.
It is contemplated to have some copies
printed on paper prepared to carty colours,
to have the Shields accurately tinctured in
the modern style ; and the Plants, &c. co-
loured Dy one of our most approved water
colourers. - The price of those superb ce-
pics will be THIRTEEN dollars cach
As no move of those copies will be print-
2, than shall be subscribed for, gentiemen
who wish for them, are requested to add
the word « coloured” to their subscrtipi-

non-Subscribers, those who have underta-
wish to be considered as Patrons of this
