STEPHEN DUDLEY was a native of New-
York. He was educated to the profession of a
painter. His father's trade was that or an apo-
thecary. But this son, manifesting an attachment
to the pencil, he was resolved that it should be
gratified. For this end Stephen was sent at an
early age to Europe, and not only enjoyed the in-
structions of Fuzeli and Bartolozzi, but spent a
considerable period in Italy, in studying the Au-
gustan and Medicean monuments. It was intend-
ed that he should practise his art in his native city,
but the young man, though reconciled to this
scheme by deference to paternal authority, and by
a sense of it...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-01000.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTEdgar Huntly: A Fragment. Brown, Charles Brockden

PRAY, Sir, what is your opi-
nion respecting the power
which the living may obtain over
the dead? I suppose you will ea-
sily see what it was that put me
upon asking this question. Not
long ago, an instance of this power
was said to be given by a person in
your city, and I want much to know
the truth or falsehood of the tale.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04003.xmlWed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTThe Economist.- No. I. Brown, Charles Brockden

THERE was, if I mistake not,
an officer among the old Ro-
mans, called the Censor. It was
his business to note the moral devi-
ations of his countrymen, to check
and to punish them. I believe very
little success attended this officer in
the administration of his duties.
From some defect in the agents or
objects of censure, this employ-
ment seems, in general, not merely
to fail of producing good, but ac-
tually to exasperate the evil which
it purposes to cure. This is poor
encouragement for a lover of man-
kind to assume this illustrious pro-
vince, and yet I cannot but think,
that mild and seasonable animad-
versions on the errors and follies of
our neighbours, may sometimes be
of use.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04008.xmlWed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTDialogues of the Living. Dialogue I. Brown, Charles Brockden

THE lives of distinguished men
are, undoubtedly, among the
most interesting and instructive ob-
jects of attention. Upon this prin-
ciple, it has been said, that every
great man owes it to society to
leave them some account of the
progress of his mind, and the most
remarkable circumstances attending
the various steps of his intellectual
and moral course. If these elevated
minds could always be faithful to
themselves and the public, we have
no hesitation in believing that such
biography would be the most use-
ful. But where such cannot be ob-
tained, the surviving friends render
a useful and acceptable service to
their fellow creatures, when they,
with fidelity, supply the defect.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04047.xmlWed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. III.

THERE appears to be some just-
ness in the remark, which has
been frequently made, that there are
few kinds of composition more dif-
ficult to execute well than discourses
from the pulpit. The writer of such
discourses finds himself called upon,
at stated and very short intervals, to
deliver his sentiments before an in-
telligent audience, on subjects which,
though infinitely important, are trite,
plain, and previously understood.
Even these two circumstances of a
stated task, and a beaten path, are
calculated to blunt the edge, and
cool the ardour of the mind; and,
therefore, of themselves present a
serious difficulty. But the christian
divine has still greater difficulties to
contend with. It is his business to
unite powers which are rarely found
to meet in any one man. He is
called upon to be didactic, and yet,
more or less, declamatory—precise,
and yet popular—guarded, and yet
impassioned—inventive, and yet
mindful of his revealed guide—to
descend to the depths of metaphysic,
and yet rise to the ferv...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04048.xmlWed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. IV. [Review of] An Eulogium on the late Dr. Samuel Cooper.

THIS oration is designed to do
honour to the memory of a
young physician, who died last
summer, a victim to the pestilence
by which Philadelphia was laid
waste. It is written by one who
enjoyed his friendship and inter-
course; a member of the same pro-
fession, and an associate in the
same studies and amusements.
These circumstances, no doubt,
induced the Medical Society to se-
lect him as the eulogist or biogra-
pher of Samuel Cooper. It was
not unreasonable to expect the am-
plest information, with regard to
the merits and demerits of the dead,
from one thus qualified; and, if
these were the only qualifications
required, our hopes had not been
disappointed by the present pro-
duction.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04050.xmlWed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMTAnecdotes of distinguished Characters. – Kotzebue. Brown, Charles Brockden

I WAS resident in this city during the year 1793.
Many motives contributed to detain me, though departure
was easy and commodious, and my friends were generally
solicitous for me to go. It is not my purpose to enumerate
these motives, or to dwell on my present concerns and trans-
actions, but merely to compose a narrative of some incidents
with which my situation made me acquainted.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05000.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTOn the Inequalities of Solar Light. Brown, Charles Brockden

IT is an old remark, that the com-
monest appearances in nature,
and the most frequent incidents in
human life, are, when viewed by
the eyes of a philosopher, mysteri-
ous and inexplicable. Men have
puzzled themselves in inquiring
why a stone that is thrown upward
into the air, falls again, after a cer-
tain time, to the earth; and how it
happens that the arm is lifted, mere-
ly because I desire that it should be
so. Not contented with the facts
as they are noted by our senses, our
curiosity conjures up a property,
assigns to it the name of gravitation,
measures its influence by numbers
and lines, and traces its existence
through every part of the universe.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05081.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTOn Almanacks. Brown, Charles Brockden

THESSALONICA, in conse-
quence of its commercial si-
tuation, was populous and rich. Its
fortifications and numerous garri-
son had preserved it from injury
during the late commotions,* and
the number of inhabitants was great-
ly increased, at the expense of the
defenceless districts and cities. Its
place, with relation to Dalmatia, the
Peloponnesus, and the Danube, was
nearly centrical. Its security had
been uninterrupted for ages, and no
city in the empire of Theodosius
exhibited so many monuments of
its ancient prosperity. It had been,
for many years, the residence of the
prince, and had thence become the
object of a kind of filial affection.
He had laboured to render it im-
pregnable, by erecting bulwarks,
and guarding it with the bravest of
his troops; he had endowed the ci-
tizens with new revenues and privi-
leges, had enhanced the frequency
of their shows, and the magnificence
of their halls and avenues, and made
it the seat of government of Illyria
and Greece.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05099.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. V. [Review of] New Views of the Origin of the Tribes and Nations of America.

A FULL, clear, and compre-
hensive treatise on that branch
of our laws which relates to the of-
fice and duty of executors and ad-
ministrators, must be highly useful
to all who are called upon to dis-
charge those important trusts, and,
we believe, has long been wished
for by gentlemen of the profession.
The volume here offered to our rea-
ders, though it may not be regard-
ed as exhibiting a very scientific and
luminous display of the subject, yet,
from the copious digest of the law,
and the practical directions which it
contains, will be very acceptable to
all who are interested to acquire a
knowledge of this portion of our
laws. The preface points out the
necessity of such a publication, and
the laudable motives which induced
the author to undertake the present
work. We concur in the opinion
of the author, that some knowledge
of the general principles and essen-
tial forms of the law, respecting last
wills and testaments, should be pos-
sessed by all, who, from their cha-

“TWO motives, principally,”
says the author in his pre-
face, “have induced me to publish
the following discourse; the one is,
that those who disapproved of cer-
tain parts, may have an opportunity
of giving them a second and dispas-
sionate consideration; the other is,
that the sentiments advanced ap-
pear to me highly seasonable, and
ought to be diffused as extensive-
ly as possible. The discourse is
printed, word for word, as it was
written in the first copy, and only
three sentences, which will be found
marked, were forgotten at the time
of delivery. This is mentioned to
apologize for the inaccuracies which
will occur, and which would have
been corrected, had it not been
judged best scrupulously to adhere
to the very words, which all who
were present can be called to attest.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05128.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. XI.

This discourse was delivered
on the same occasion with
the last. It maintains, with equal
zeal, the importance of Christia-
nity, to the welfare of civil socie-
ty; and is not less decided and
warm in inculcating the duty of sup-
porting the government of the
United States. The text is chosen
from Isaiah xxvi. 9. When thy
judgments are in the earth, the inha-
bitants of the world will learn righte-
ousness. After a short and appro-
priate introduction, the author pro-
poses, 1. “To show in what con-
sists the right improvement of pub-
lic evils and dangers;” and, 2. “To
apply the subject to the present cir-
cumstances of the world, and espe-
cially of our own country.” Under
the first head, Mr. K. undertakes to
show, that the judgments of God
call us, 1. To acknowledge his
providence; 2. To submit to his
will, and confide in his wisdom and
power; 3. To repent of all sin; and,
4. To return to the practice of our
whole duty, and especially those
parts of it to which recent experi-
ence, or the exigencies of th...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05129.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. V. [Review of] Essays, Political, Economical, and Philosophical.

COUNT RUMFORD is not
only singular in the subjects
he has chosen, but in the mode in
which they are discussed. He does
not content himself, like most of
other schemers, with arguing on
remote, specious, and untrodden
grounds: All his deductions are
drawn from actual experiments.—
The design must, in all cases, pre-
cede its execution; but such was the
singular situation of this man, as to
enable him to reduce his theories to
practice, and offer them to the
world, not as projects which were
merely plausible, but as the une-
quivocal results of experiment.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05132.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt.

THE extent and variety of this
work will not allow us to ex-
hibit more than a general view of
its plan and execution. With some
exceptions, which do not appear to
be very important, the plan com-
bines as many advantages, and in-
curs as few difficulties and embar-
rassments as any that could well be
selected for an undertaking of this
compass. In the execution, it re-
quires no great fund of knowledge
to perceive, that many mistakes,
unnecessary repetitions, and even
culpable omissions have taken place.
Such faults are, however, almost
inseparable from a collection, so
extensive and multifarious as that
now before us. Undertaken by dif-
ferent hands, possessing various de-
grees of ability and qualification, the
several parts are often defective in
concert, and necessarily display in-
equalities of merit. “But if much
has been omitted, let it be remem-
bered that much has likewise been
performed.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05134.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. VII. [Review of] Poems by Robert Southey. First American Edition. pp. 125. 12mo. Boston. Printed for Joseph Nancrede. 1799. Price 62 cents. Brown, Charles Brockden

THE day which gave birth to a
nation, which is distinguish-

independence, eminently deserves
to be commemorated with every
demonstration of gratitude and joy.
Nations who have loved liberty,
have ever delighted to celebrate the
virtues and atchievements of those
by whom their freedom hath been
attained or preserved. By a recur-

their ancestors, they have sought
to keep alive and perpetuate those
sentiments to which they were in-

A Publication like the pre-
sent is, in some respects, of
no very permanent or momentous
kind. It is an actual address to a
select assembly: its topics are ne-
cessarily drawn from popular, and,
therefore, limited and temporary
sources: it is confined to bounds,
not consistent with abstruse or
complex reasoning, and must be
modelled after a looser, more super-
ficial, and diffuse pattern, than if it
were the fruit of years, were ex-
tended to a volume, and were de-
signed to instruct posterity, and the
whole of mankind, on subjects
connected with the interests of the
whole. It must be considered as
a speech composed in a few hours,
and delivered, in forty minutes, to
some hundreds of auditors.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-07287.xmlWed, 01 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. XI. [Review of] An Appeal to Impartial Posterity. By Madame Roland, &c.

WALSTEIN was professor of
history at Jena, and, of
course, had several pupils. Nine
of them were more assiduous in their
attention to their tutor than the
others. This circumstance came
at length to be noticed by each
other, as well as by Walstein, and
naturally produced good-will and
fellowship among them. They gra-
dually separated themselves from
the negligent and heedless crowd,
cleaved to each other, and frequently
met to exchange and compare ideas.
Walstein was prepossessed in their
favour by their studious habits, and
their veneration for him. He fre-
quently admitted them to exclusive
interviews, and laying aside his pro-
fessional dignity, conversed with
them on the footing of a friend and
equal.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08335.xmlSat, 01 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTOn the Use of Maize. Brown, Charles Brockden

THIS singular and amusing
piece of oratory commences
with a quotation from Swift's de-
scription of the Grand Academy
at Lagando, in Laputa, by which
that ingenious and witty writer has
ridiculed the pretended discoveries,
and useless projects of philosophers
and artists, and censured the abu-
ses of learning and science. Sup-
posing the philosophers of the pre-
sent day, not less fertile in extrava-
gant schemes than the learned
academicians of Laputa, Mr. D.
points the shafts of ridicule at those,
who have laboured to construct self-
moving machines; to ascend the air
in balloons, or dive to the bottom of
the ocean. He observes, that agri-
culture has not escaped the rage for
theoretic improvement, and the la-
bours of the speculative husband-
man are suspended, and his uten-
sils neglected, in the hope of a har-
vest without toil. The contagion
of theory has also extended to medi-
cine, education, morals and politics:

have given...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08369.xmlSat, 01 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXIII.

BY an institution of the town of
Boston, the orator of the 4th
July is required to consider “the
feelings, manners, and principles,”
which led to the declaration and
establishment of our national Inde-
pendence.—That the transaction or
event, which a person is selected to
elucidate and embellish by his elo-
quence, should be the main sub-
ject of his performance, seems an
obvious and essential requisite in
its composition. Each successive
orator, necessarily finds the ground,
in some degree, pre-occupied, and
the prescribed path, more and more
beaten by those who have preced-
ed. He is compelled to take a wider
range in search of novelty, by which
to interest the feelings, and enchain
the attention of his audience; or,
adhering to the more appropriate,
but already exhausted topics of ar-
gument and illustration, be con-
tented to merit or incur the impu-
tation of indolence or dulness, by
trite argumentation and stale re-
mark, by repeated congratulation,
and the reiterations of self-appla...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-08373.xmlSat, 01 Aug 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. XIII. [Review of] Essays...By...Count Rumford . Brown, Charles Brockden

THIS is an accurate and elegant
description of a machine, by
which three tiers of beams are raised
to a considerable height in the air.
The advantage of this contrivance
lies in the beams being raised and
lowered at will, speedily, and with
the application of moderate force.
These effects are producible, on this
occasion, by pullies, cords, and a
windless. The uses of this machine,
or those particulars in which it sur-
passes the utility of a common
structure of the same kind, but
whose elevation is permanent, are
not pointed out in this memoir, and
do not readily occur to us. The
difference, in bulk and weight, be-
tween this machine folded and wound
up, is nothing; and the difference
in cumbrousness and facility of
transportation, appears to be very
inconsiderable, if, indeed, it be any
thing. This difference, however,
is all that exists to compensate, first,
the additional bulk, weight, and ex-
pense of cords, metallic pullies, and
windlesses; secondly, the animal
force requisite t...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-12442.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXVIII.
