At present, the geographical and sta- tistical condition of the United States is very little known; and it can on- ly be known by the compilation of works like the present. The Dis- trict of Maine, the States of Ver- mont and New-Hamshire are the only portions of our country, which have been made the subjects of par- ticular histories or descriptions, be- fore the present undertaking; and we now add the name of Drayton to those of Williams and Belknap, as the literary benefactors of their country. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10030.xml Sat, 01 Oct 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-12190.xml This poem seems intended as an imitation of Dr. Johnson's “London.” There is, however, very little similarity in its topics. It is a very brief descant on the dis- couragements which genius meets with in America; on the frailty and inelegance of our architecture, in that mode of building which exposes our towns, and particularly Boston, to the ravages of fire; on the broils and animosities of party, and on the absurdities of fashion and dress, manners, amusements, music and poetry. On each of these topics, the poet expatiates briefly, but with considerable spirit and elegance. He is most copious, and writes with most energy, on the folly of wooden buildings. The lines on this subject, will afford a v... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-12190.xml Thu, 01 Dec 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11106.xml This narrative is drawn up by an officer, whose education and pursuits appear to have been chiefly confined to military affairs. His professed object indeed is the British expedition to Egypt, and though a soldier has abundant opportunities of indulging a liberal curiosity in the scene of his exploits, and has some- times more advantages for literary and scientific researches than other men, Colonel Wilson appears to see little beside the movements of the army and records little beside their movemements. He is actu- ated likewise by the national and professional spirit, and is not slow to assert and vindicate the reputa- tion of the troops to which he be- longs. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11106.xml Tue, 01 Nov 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10044.xml From several of the prosaical works of D'Israeli, we have re- ceived pleasure and instruction. He is a writer who discovers an uncommon store of anecdote, who riots in the luxuries of literature, and leaves the more profound re- searches to minds more patient and inquiring. It is probably well known, that to him we are indebted for Curiosities of Literature, Vari- eties of Literature, Literary Amuse- ments, a volume of Miscellanies, a Sketch of the Times, an Essay on the Literary Character, and the luxuriant and pathetic Tale of Mej- noun. The poems under consider- ation, will not detract from the fa- vourable opinion which we have formed of the talents of D'Israeli. The Narrative Poems are entitled, “The Carder and the Carrier”… “A Tale addressed to a Sybarite.” All of these poems are exemplifica- tions of the passion of love… their plans are extremely simple, and such as do not afford great interest in narration… they are however told very poetically. The first narrative describes an affection which subsist... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10044.xml Sat, 01 Oct 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11104.xml The interest with which we read this poem, was increased by the recent and melancholy termination of the author's life...Mr. Paine was considered and respected by those who knew him, as a scholar and a poet. Several circumstances tended to embitter his life; and over his death, those who have most injured him, will have most cause to lament. It is, however, not our province or desire to dwell on his history, nor are we possessed of sufficient infor- mation concerning him, to become his just and satisfactory biogra- phers. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11104.xml Tue, 01 Nov 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10038.xml Two Compends for the use of the Philadelphia Academy....1.

M. one of the Assistant Ministers of Christ's Church and St. Peter's, and Di- rector of the Academy. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10038.xml Sat, 01 Oct 1803 12:00:00 GMT
