Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contributions, Biographical, Literary, and Philosophical, to the Eclectic Review, Vol. 2 of 2
IT was with no small pleasure we saw any thing an nounced of the nature of a proof or pledge that the author of this paper was in good faith employing him self, or about to employ himself, in the intellectual public service. His contributions to that service have, hitherto, borne but a small proportion to the reputation he has long enjoyed of being qualified for it in an extraordinary degree. This reputation is less founded on a small volume of juvenile poems, and some occasional essays in periodical publications, than on the estimate formed and avowed by all the intelligent persons that have ever had the gratification of falling into his society.
