Otis auth6r is to weave a biographical tissue,
and to embroider the work with the span-
gles of many an ode. Thi? scheme) howe-
ver fanciful, as it has a classical basis, is suf-
ficiently agreeable to us, and we hope will
prove so to others. We wish ,the young
man, who thus turns his curious eye to the
monuments of Grecian genius, every boon
which the favouring muses can bestow.......
....... We hope he will fulfil his task. When
we wander with htm over this classick
ground, we imagine ourselves under the len-
tiscus and the myrtle of Asia, listening to
the lyre, and gazing at the Graces.—Port-

James Tjall h Co.
Messrs. John Conrad St Co.
, Of Philadelphia,
Are about to publish in two volumes, crown
octavo,
Memoirs of Anacreon,
Translated from the original Greek of Critias
of Athens|> by Charles SedleYj Esq. in-
cluding the Odes of Anacreon, from the vel-
sion of Thomas Moore, Esq.
Critias of Athens pays a tribute to the legiti-
mate galiantr) of Anacreon :
Teos gave to Greece her treasure,
Sage Anacreon, sage in lovhig ;
Fond/y weaving lays vf pleasure,
For the maids who blush'd approving.
Moore's Anac. p, 298.
THE version of the Odes of Anacreon,
with which the literary world lias recently
been favored, has revived the pleasure which
the melody of the lyrist once excited on the
plains of Greece, and extended the reputation
of his translator to every country where clas-
sical learning is venerated, and the genuine
effusion.* of the poet find a congenial Mow.
To the genius and industry of Thomas
Mooue, Esq. we are indebted for one of the
best translations that Englisii literature pos
sesses, and the liveliest exhibition ot Grcocian
poetry that Englisii literature can boast. The
author of the present work is aware that he
speaks at a time unpropitions to the fame of
Moore. He knows that the indignation of
some, and the mortification of others, have
been strongly excit d by a volume published
by him since his visit to this country, But his
translation of Anacreon has no relation to the
re-marks contained in his "Epistles, Odes,. &.c"
To his Brilliant genius, as a poet, and bis
ability as a translator, repeated editions and
reiterated applause b^ar ample testimony ;
and, by adoptingliis version of Anacreon, the
author at once gratifies tne feelings of person
al friendship, and pays that trilv.w of respect,
which i;; so justly due to h s unrivalled excel-
lence.
The design of this work -\as conceived dur-
ing the transient visit which Mr Moore paid
to this city, in th.; summer of 1804. A bio
graphical sketch of the life of Anacreon, form-
ed upon the ingenious plan of the Abbe Bar-
thtleniy, appeared to the author to be an un-
dertaking which offered a fertile source of
amusement, and the prosecution of it w?.s
embraced with that ardor which is incident to
the schemes of a youthful enthusiast. It was
communicated to Mr Moore during one of
those festive nights, which he has remember-
er in a manner not less honorable to himself
than grateful to his friends His approbation
was express! din a manner which was prompt,
warm, an flattering But the author did not
advert to the impropriety of forsaking that
" deep well," which my Lord Coke has dug
for his " good sons," to wander amid the al-
luring bowers of ancient Greece, though ge-
nius there had delighted to hold l)er seat, and
imagination there had whispered her sweetest
inspirations. Such considerations, however,
did intrude, when the fervor of literary emu-
lation had subsided, and reason resumed her
sway. The work was a long time abandoned,
and perhaps never would have been submitted
to public inspection, had not the partiality of
a few friends."flattered the not incredulous au-
thor into an opinion, that;. continuation would
be not wlxdly unworthy of public penisal.*
The author will make no apology for the of-
fences he has committed against the regulari-
ty o"t Chronology. If laborious commentator-
can gravely and ingeniously dispute whether
sappho danced to the voluptuous cadence of
the lyre of Anacreon, or whether an entire
century intervened between the periods of
their births, he surely may be pardoned, who
suffers Anacreon to write ah epitaph upon
Plato, or criticise the Poetick of i.ristotle.
Some of these anachronisms were intuition-
al, in order to afford suitable topics lor the
Conversation of a scholar, and others wire the.
consequence offcarelessntss.
The work is a fiction, intended to represent
ancient manners,-and, by making the Odes of
Anacreon more familiar, to rentier, if possible,
the popularity oi a friohd more extensive. To
these motives, if the criticks adil, as it is sup-
posed it must be conceded, some little admix-
ture of personal vanity, they nave all the caus-
es which produced these .Memoirs, and rhey
may make such use of the declaration as just-
ice .and liberality may suggest. That the vo-.
lumes were written during occasonal intervals
of business or study, may operate upon thu
clemency V>i some readers; and that they were
almost concluded before the time which the
law terms the years of discretion, might oe add-
ed as a stronger claim upon the favor of the
candid, did not the author fear the retort of
some sarcastick critick, that f/ic fact appeared
upon the showing of his record. But the just se-
verity of criticism admits of no pleas in extenu-
ation ot negligence or imperfection. It is ne-
cessary to the integrity of literature, that every
writer be judged with strictness and impartia-
lity, and that his judges be neither awed by
the imposing noise of a dedication, nor seduced
by the smooth flatteries of a preface The
present writer respectfully presents himself at
the seatof this tribunal, with no arrogant pre-
tensions to distinctions lie offers his labours
with very humble expectations, as the inno-
cent, and perhaps not entirely useless amuse-
ment of a youthful mind, which preferred lite-
rary exertion to listless or frivolous inactivity,
when compelled to intermit its attentions to
professional occupation. It was pleasant to
cheer the gloom of a" solitary chamber, by re-
visiting, with the excursive eye of imagination,
the climes that are distant, and to recount the
days that have rolled by ; to survey the ena-
melled plains where the voice of true patriot-
ism was heard, and where Apollo taught the
rudiments of his art; to stray on the banks of
the Ilyssus and listen to the lyre of Anacreon,
or hang over the Leucadiaiv mount and drop
a tear to the memory of the Lesbian maid. By
such arts, the slow feet of time move unper-
ceived, and we only awake from the pleasing
vision when some sadreahties aiiright the phan-
toms of fancy from the enchanted bower, and
"too feelingly remind us of what we arc."—
Such are the pleasures of the recluse, at the
" solemn noon of night," and they are not un-
delightfol!
-------When the lamps expiring yield to rest,
And solitude returns, I siient shun
The noisy mansions, and, attentive, mark
the palm/groves,
Resounding once |
