Review Of New Publications.
And plunge the invaders in the roaring surge ; A band of slaves , who would reelvice mankind To their own level , and enslave the world : An hoard of savages , freebooters , murderers , Who trample on all laws ; who own no God ; Whom in a mass their country disembogues , By depredations to lay waste their neighbours ,
And spread rebellion , anarchy , and ruin . ' ' Thus ling ' ring on the margin of both worlds , A ray of light perhaps breaks in upon me . - A time may come , when Germany shall send A Royal race , allied to Britain ' s Kings , To reign in glory o ' er a willing people .
I see the radiant a ; ra dawn ;—I see The great event , when in a distant age A Monarch sprung fr . ira that illustrious lirie Shall guide the State , give energy to laws , And guard the rights of man ; nis throne encircl'd , Aeloin'd , illumin'd by a train of viitu < s , 'That win all hearts , and arm each honest hand
In the great cause of freedom , and the laws , For which their ancestors in ev ' ry age Toil'd , fought , and bravely conquer'd ; then bequeath'd , Seal'd with their blood , a glorious legacy , A SACRED TRUST to all succeeding times . ' "
IN the present novel-making age , when the press daily teems with innumerable reams of nonsense , we are very thankful when fortune throws in our way something worthy of perusal . It is long since we have read so excellent a satire on the too-general frivolity of high life , as is contained in the pases of Octavia . In this novel the manners of the elegant world a ' ri accurately delineated . Our fair author seems to have copied from nature , particularly in the character of Wappen , a rich , vulgar , and illiterate brewer , whose
eccentricities are admirably weli conceived , and as well supported throughout the work . The story possesses much interest , which is gradually hei g htened till the close of the performance . It is written with great spirit and vivacity , and the incidents , which rise out of each other iu a manner perfectly natural , are numerous and striking . In the course of the work the poetical reader will be entertained with two Sonnets , an Ode , and a Monody .
