http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1797-01003.xml
ON Monday night was performed a Se-
rious Drama, interspersed with Songs, cal-
led Bourville Castle, or the Gallic Orphan.
It is said to be written by a Young Gen-
tleman of this City, when not more than
sixteen years of age. Whether it was ow-
ing to the title or to some other cause, is
unknown, but it drew a far more crouded
house than generally happens in this City
on the first performance of an American
production. —Its reception was warm, and
flattering—And in fact it justly deserved
all the applause that was bestowed upon it.
The plot, is simple, but interesting. —The
circumstances attending it are supposed to
have taken place in the days of comparative
rudeness, when Europe had not yet emerg-
ed from the gloom of Barbarian ignorance

scenes which so greatly abound in Gothic
story. It is the tale of injured innocence
& murdered greatness, and is told with great
beauty, affecting simplicity, nay often with
uncommon, pathos. Not one ...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1797-01003.xmlSun, 18 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTReview. Count Rumford's Second Essay. Brown, Charles Brockden

THE subjects hitherto discussed
by this writer relate, generally, to
the best mode of supplying the neces-
sities of the poor. They are topics,
therefore, in a considerable degree,
political. The field of enquiry in
the third essay is interesting, in dif-
ferent degrees, but in a direct man-
ner to every individual.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-05065.xmlTue, 19 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTReview. Count Rumford's Third Essay. Brown, Charles Brockden
http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-05097.xml
AMONG all kinds of vegetable
food, Count Rumford assigns the pre-
ference to Indian corn. The exten-
sive use of it in Italy, under the name
of Pallenta, and in North America,
evinces its nutritiousness and whole-
someness. In the countries cultivated
by negro slaves, it is generally pre-
ferred by them to rice, which they
account the more fugitive and less
substantial food. In addition to this,
it is known to be producible in larger
quantities than other grain; hence
the propriety of encouraging the cul-
tivation and extending the use of it.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-05097.xmlTue, 26 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTReview. Count Rumford's Third Essay. Brown, Charles Brockden

THIS memoir was read before the
American Philosophical Society, and
will appear in the next volume of the
Transactions of that learned body.
In the interim, the author has caused
a few copies to be printed for distri-
bution, but not for sale. He did not,
however, content himself with merely
committing his original paper to the
press, but considerably altered and
somewhat enlarged it.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07370.xmlTue, 21 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMTA Review of a Memoir ... (By BENJAMIN SMITH BARTON ...) . Brown, Charles Brockden

HAVING thus disposed of the
doctrines of some of his predecessors,
Dr. Barton proceeds to say: “The
result of not a little attention to the
subject has taught me, that there is
but one wonder in the business;—
the wonder that the story should ever
have been believed by a man of
understanding, and of observation.”
—Fascination, we are informed, is
almost entirely limited to birds that
build low, and “in almost every
instance, I found that the supposed
fascinating faculty of the serpent was
exerted upon the birds at the particu-
lar season of their laying their eggs,
of their hatching, or of their rearing
their young, still tender, and defence-
less. I now began to suspect, that
the cries and fears of birds supposed
to be fascinated originated in an en-
deavour to protect their nest or young.
My enquiries have convinced me that
this is the case.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07394.xmlTue, 28 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. I.

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 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-
racter and situation in life, may...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-05127.xmlFri, 01 May 1970 12:00:00 GMTArt. X.

“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

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,

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:

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

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.

IT may be said, without deroga-
tion to the numerous rhetorici-
ans who have devoted their genius
to the same theme, that popular es-
teem was more ardent and unani-
mous with respect to this orator,
than to any of his compeers. His
personal acquaintance with that
great scene in which the late Presi-
dent performed so memorable a
part; the maturity of his age; the
ample limits of his observation, and
the long exercise of his intelligence
on political topics, were justly
imagined to place him far above all
other competitors for this office, and
carried to a very lofty pitch the ex-
pectations of the public. This eu-
logy, stripped of all the fascinations
of looks and gesture, and all the
magic of tones, is now submitted
to our sober and dispassionate in-
spection, and the delicate and ardu-
ous function is assigned to us of
weighing its topics, and scrutiniz-
ing its style.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02120.xmlSat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. X.

THE fire that pervades this
composition is, by no means,
of so sparkling a kind as that by
which the former is animated and
brightened. There is nothing which,
in any degree, rises above the hu-
mility of prose. If there be no
strains of uncommon eloquence,
there is, at least, no tincture of af-
fectation, no painful efforts to at-
tain sublimity and grandeur. There
is none of that glittering imagery
and elaborate conscieness which
prove the writer to be more engaged
in displaying and contemplating his
own perfections than those of the
deceased. There is earnestness, if
not pathos; and, if he depicts in ex-
aggerated colours the national grief,
he is led into this error, less by the
precepts of a fulsome and phantastic
rhetoric, than by the mournful
suggestions of his own mind.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02122.xmlSat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XI.

FOR several years past the orators
on the anniversary of Ameri-
can independence have ben freed
from the tramels which formerly
beset them, in undertaking their
holy-day task. The awful convul-
sions of Europe, and the conflicts
of party animosity in our own
country, have furnished ample sub-
stitutes for the old and thread-bare
topics of British oppression, the
value of independence, the blessings
of civil liberty, and the rising glory
of our new world. Of this oppor-
tunity to depart from the beaten
path, Mr. L. has availed himself.
Instead of dwelling on themes for-
merly considered appropriate to the
occasion, he prefers the more popu-
lar subjects of domestic broils, the
French revolution, and the horrors
produced by political licentiousness
and false philosophy, in every coun-
try in which French power and
principles have gained the ascend-
ancy.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02124.xmlSat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XII.

THE death of General Wash-
ington has produced sensa-
tions in the public mind, and called
forth expressions of sorrow for his
loss, and of respect to his memory,
which are, probably, without a pa-
rallel in the history of man. Over
his tomb the spell of party is dis-
solved; the conflicts of opposing
politicians are suspended, and the
American people, with one heart,
and with all the ardour of filial af-
fection and gratitude, crowd around,
to do honour to his ashes. Seldom
have those who contend that Re-
publics can be grateful, been fur-
nished with a more remarkable in-
stance in support of their opinion
than the manner in which the citi-
zens of the United States have treat-
ed the memory of their political fa-
ther.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02125.xmlSat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XIV.

ON perusing this Address, we
could not forbear to remark
a strain of sentiment very different
from that of other performances;
on the like occasion, which have
come before us. The subject is
the same, but the topics of argu-
ment and illustration, as well as the
manner in which they are treated,
are greatly dissimilar. Dr. M. tells
his hearers that he came not to de-
liver the language of flattery and
declamation to “tickle their ears”
or to amuse their fancy with the
flowers of rhetoric. His purpose
is to talk with plainness and candour
about independence, and the na-
ture and characteristics of a repub-
lican government. He does not,
therefore, seek to gain their favour
by flattering their prejudices, or to
awaken their feelings by depicting
the splendid attributes of national
sovereignty.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-02128.xmlSat, 01 Feb 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XV.

PERFORMANCES like the pre-
sent, which are of a temporary
and fugitive nature, are not always
expected to be elaborately wrought,
or exquisitely finished. Indeed, on
the present occasion, there is danger,
lest the imagination of the orator,
so powerfully impressed with the
magnitude and grandeur of his
subject, should lead him astray
from the path of a just and manly
eloquence. Too many of those
who have attempted to eulogize the
father of our country, have indulged
an undisciplined and lawless fancy,
which has produced nothing but
extravagant bombast, outrageous
metaphor, and splendid conceit.
Pleased with the creations or distor-
tions of their own imaginations,
they have wholly lost sight of the
noble simplicity, and true dignity
of that great man whom they wish
to honour and immortalize by their
matchless strains. His productions
would have furnished them with
models of a pure and correct style,
replete with the lessons of wisdom
and truth, the result of a keen pene-
tration and just discrimination, long

WE are highly pleased with the
chaste and temperate strain
of this discourse. In many cases
this theme has suggested the wild-
est flights of imagination that we
have ever witnessed. The orators
seem to have thought that no effort
could equal the greatness of their
theme. They have sparkled and
glittered till our sight has been daz-
zled, and pained; and we light,
with uncommon satisfaction, on a
piece of smooth and unostentatious
verdure like that before us. Our
sight is invigorated and refreshed,
and enabled to resume its gaze upon
the glaring meteors which the fa-
shionable rhetorick is constantly
darting athwart our horizon.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-03219.xmlSat, 01 Mar 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXI.

AS both of these translations are
from the same German play,
our remarks on them, and the play
itself, will be comprised under this
article. Great liberty is allowable
in the adoption of dramatic titles.
The original words, wild fang,
taken in their literal sense, mean
wild chase; but it is a phrase
tantamount to mad-cap, or a wild,
hair-brained young fellow. Wild
Youth is well enough, but a Comedy
for Digestion sounds oddly in our
ears, and is somewhat equivocal in
its meaning. In the preface to the
former translation* of Mr. S. it
was said, that this piece was in-
tended only for a Christmas-day, and
he might easily be led to adopt the
other part of the title.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-03225.xmlSat, 01 Mar 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXVI.

THIS is a plain, serious, and
sensible discourse. Among
the numerous publications which
have been made on the same sub-
ject, it does not rank very high.
Still, however, we do not think it
falls below mediocrity. Dr. Os-
good's mode of depicting General
Washington's character, though not
very discriminating or new, has
little of that affectation and extra-
vagance which we have too often
seen displayed. On the whole, he
treats the character, and the dispen-
sation of Providence, on which his
discourse is founded, in a manner
becoming a minister of religion,
who, while he gives due praise to
the creature, ascribes all the glory
ultimately to the Creator.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-03236.xmlSat, 01 Mar 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXVII.

THIS performance begins with
a very spirited exordium. It
is brief, and a transition is easily
and gracefully made to an enume-
ration of the great events of Wash-
ington's life. This method is
strictly natural, and has therefore
been adopted by every eulogist
whom we have seen. A critical
observer will be instructed and
amused by marking the various
combinations of words and associa-
tions of images produced, by the
same events, in different minds;
and, as human excellence is merely
comparative, there hence arises a
criterion by which the merit of the

WHEN the death of Wash-
ington had awakened every
sympathetic feeling, and roused
every faculty of the orator to do
justice to his character, and render
homage to his memory, it was not
to be expected that the poet would
slumber in silence, or his lyre be
unstrung. But the effusions of the
latter have been extremely rare.
Thousands may, from education
and habit, deem themselves quali-
fied to discharge the functions of
an orator or eulogist on this occa-
sion, but those of the poet are more
arduous, and demand those splendid
endowments, those divine energies
which belong only to the few.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-04309.xmlTue, 01 Apr 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXXIV.

THE usual detail of the inci-
dents of Washington's life,
his public and his private virtues,
is given in this discourse. The
narrative is not enlivened by many
sparks of eloquence. The writer
observes that “the sublimest eulo-
gy of Washington consists in a
faithful history of his life, and an
impartial delineation of his public
and private virtues;” and every
reader will probably comply with
his request to be forgiven, “if, in
the sketch of his history and cha-
racter, a strong affection for the
man should appear, blended with a
reverence for his talents.”http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-05353.xmlThu, 01 May 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXXVIII.

THE text of this discourse is
taken from Isaiah iii. 1, 2, 3.
Behold! the Lord of hosts doth take
away the mighty man, and the man
of war, the prudent, and the ancient,
the honourable man, and the counsellor.
The principal object of Mr. H. is
to apply the various epithets and
characteristics mentioned in this
passage of holy writ, to the late
father of our country, to shew that
he was a mighty man—a man of
war—prudent—ancient—honourable,
—and a counsellor. We see little
to commend, or to censure, either
in the plan or execution of this
sermon. Mr. H. tells us nothing
of Washington but what is fami-
liarly known. He places no part
of his wonderful character in a new,
or peculiarly interesting light. His
praise is all of the common kind,
and expressed in the common way.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-05363a.xmlThu, 01 May 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XLII.

THIS sermom is chiefly remark-
able for two things, its brevi-
ty, and its modesty. Mr. S. nei-
ther fatigues by tediousness, nor
nauseates by indulging in fulsome
or extravagant strains. Too many
of General Washington's eulogists
seem to have supposed, that the
more frequently they mentioned his
name, and the more rhapsodical
and bombastic the style of their
praise, the more fully they attained
the desired end. Mr. S. has taken
a different method. He describes
a great and a good character in the
abstract. In this description, which
is pretty well drawn, though the
talents and virtues of our departed
hero are obviously kept in view,
yet there is no direct reference to
them. Toward the close, Mr. S.
gives vent to his feelings in the fol-
lowing language:http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-05363b.xmlThu, 01 May 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XLV.

THIS discourse is remarkably
different from most of those
that have issued from the pulpit and

All fervour, and impetuosity of
conception and language, seem to
have been studiously avoided.
There is the calmness and circum-
spection of the analist in his closet,
who desires to convince us, by
slowly and accurately adjusting the
balance, and taking a numerical
account of how much one scale
outweighs the other, rather than the
bold career of eloquence, that aims
to hurry us away without delibera-

WE presume the most of our
readers recollect the passage
in Mr. Jefferson's “Notes on Vir-
ginia,” which this pamphlet is de-
signed to elucidate and defend.
Some philosophers of Europe had
advanced an opinion, that there is
something in the soil, climate, and
other circumstances of America,
which occasions animal nature to
degenerate. They extended this
opinion to the men as well as to the
brutal tribes of our western world.
Mr. Jefferson, in the above-men-
tioned work, thought proper to
examine and controvert a theory,
which he considered “so unfound-
ed and degrading to one third of the
globe;” and among other proofs
adduced in opposition to it, he men-
tions the speech of Logan, an Indian
chief, ...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-07051.xmlTue, 01 Jul 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. IV. [Review of] Poems, by Samuel Low. In two volumes. 12mo. Vol. i. pp. 147. New York. T & J. Swords. 1800,. Brown, Charles Brockden

THE present state of our coun-
try exhibits a very uncom-
mon spectacle. We do not recol-
lect a parallel instance in the his-
tory of the world. In modern
times, religion has always been of
greatest moment in discussing the
merits of the heirs or claimants of
government; but formerly, the
doubt lay between different sects or
forms of religion. Now, in the
gradual progress of events by which
the moral structure of society is per-
petually changing, we have come,
not to inquire whether the candi-
date adheres to the Pope or to Lu-
ther, whether he is Christian or
Mahometan, but whether he is a
believer in God or not.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-10269.xmlWed, 01 Oct 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXXVI.

IN very humble language, and in
a style by no means classical,
Mr. Spring delivers a number of
common-place remarks, which, of
course, neither interest the mind,
nor seem quite commensurate with
the dignity of the subject. All this,
however, may have been deemed
tolerably good within the precincts
of his pulpit; but the author, when
he was committing his production
to the wild wing of the press, should
have relfected that it might chance
to fall among those who are strang-
ers to his intrinsic merit, and who,
regarding this discourse as the stand-
ard of his talents, might draw con-
clusions unfavourable to his reputa-
tion as a writer.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-10272a.xmlWed, 01 Oct 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXXVII.

OUR praise of these two dis-
courses (if praise it may be
called) is of the negative kind.
They are not tedious, for both to-
gether make but about twenty-six
short pages. They do not offend
the understanding by any extrava-
gancies of fancy, nor make any vio-
lent efforts at lofty conceptions.
The style is in no way so crude as
to betray an unpractised pen, nor
the remarks so common as to be
totally uninteresting. On so great
a theme, however, one naturally
expects from an orator something
superior to either of the present
compositions.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-10272b.xmlWed, 01 Oct 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXXVIII.

A SENSIBLE and well written
discourse, but not calculated
“to wake the soul by tender strokes
of art,” or to elevate the mind to
the grandeur of the subject. It pos-
sesses, however, some warmth with-
out vehemence; and, although not
adorned with the flowers of rheto-
ric, is tolerably well furnished with
the embellishments of style.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-10273a.xmlWed, 01 Oct 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XXXIX.

NEAT language, and a correct
arrangement of sentences, ap-
pear to be the principal characteris-
tics of this composition. The style,
however, seems to want that grace-
ful simplicity and venerable air, so
highly becoming on an occasion
solemn and affecting.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-10273b.xmlWed, 01 Oct 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XLII.

THIS is the volume which we
announced to our readers in
the Magazine for September last, as
having been published a few weeks
before. A more careful perusal of
it has convinced us that it deserves,
what we then intimated an inten-
tion of giving it, a more detailed
and ample consideration.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-11349.xmlSat, 01 Nov 1800 12:00:00 GMTArt. XLIII. [Review of] The Claims of Thomas Jefferson to the Presidency examined at the Bar of Christianity. By a Layman. 8vo. pp. 54. Philadelphia. Dickins. 1800. Brown, Charles Brockden

WE are here presented with a
third pleading, before the bar
of christianity, against the claims of
Mr. Jefferson to the presidency of
the United States. When political
are combined with religious motives,
they tend powerfully to excite the
zeal and sharpen the ingenuity of
the advocates. The present pleader
appears in the unprofessional garb of
a layman; and his mode of con-
ducting his cause differs much, both
in argument and illustration, from
the two coadjutors who have pre-
ceded him in the same cause. He
disdains to produce books written
by the accused, or witnesses who
have heard his declarations, to prove
that he is not a christian. He en-
trenches himself behind the bold
assertion that the infidelity, and even
atheism of Mr. Jefferson are notorious,
and believed by every man who has
heard any thing of him, as well as
by his warmest friends and most
zealous advocates. As there is no
small portion of novelty, ingenuity,
and spirit in this br...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1800-11354.xmlSat, 01 Nov 1800 12:00:00 GMT
