and as imported materials are confumed h' re,
free of the European eitcifes, and fometimes
with the benefit of an Euiopoan bounty on ex
Bortation, tha necefTary imported articies come
low. Thafe that are of our own making orpro-

It mull afifirfd peculiar fatisfaflion to behold
our country rifing into efiimatinn the arts and
fciences encouraged, and learning and the author's
ingenious produSions patronized-. Among thofe
who claim the attention of governmert, and tht
prote£lion of the lovers of literature, the amiable
Mrs Warren holds difiinguiihed rank. It is
Hoped that the propofali for printing her.rr.if-
cellaneous poems will meet the approbation of
the public. Her kno'vleiije ol lettcis, and deep
nfeaiches into the principles of human nature,
and the hiftory of fociety, her attachment to
civil and religious government, muft render htf
refpefied, and produce a r.ipid fate of her works.
What can more tend to animate the noKIc lacul-

It frems of late to have become a popular
opinion in feveral of the Hates, that the C'ongrcfs

country, and by other local circtimftances.
Under the prevalence of this w ife and juft .idea
it is expefted that Congrefs will, when they rife,
adjourn to a more central part of the Union, ana
