Art. XVI.

A Discourse on the Character and
Death of General George Wash-
ington, delivered at Ipswich, on
the 22d February, A. D. 1800.
By Joseph Dana, A. M. Pastor
of the South Church in that place.
8vo. pp. 28. Newburyport. Blunt.
1800.

THIS discourse deserves to be
respectfully mentioned among
the numberless productions which
have appeared on the same subject.
Mr. D. exhibits himself, at once,
the ardent admirer and eulogist of
human virtue; and the pious divine,
who would lead the minds of his
hearers and readers to the great
source of excellence, to whom all
the glory is due. Did not our
limits compel us to dismiss, with
very brief remarks, the discourses
and orations which remain on hand,
upon a subject which has filled so
many pages of our Review for se-
veral months past, we could select
passages from this performance
which, we think, would reflect
credit on the talents and the heart
of the author.
