Of.Philadelphia, ¦Are about to publish in two volumes, crown octavo, Memoirs of Anacreon, Translated from the original Greek of Critias of Athens, by Charms Sf.jji.ey, Esq. in . eluding the Odes of Anacreon, from the vei- sion of Thomas Moore, Esq. Critias of, Athens pays a tribute to tire legiti- mate gallantry of Anacreon. • Teas gave to Greece her treasure, Sage Anacreon, sage in loving-.; Fondly weaving lays of pleasure, ¦ For the maids.who blush'd approving. Moore's Anac. p 298. THE version of the Odes ot Anacreon, with which the literary world has 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 gen.due. effusion., of the poet find a eongenhtt glow. To the genius and industry of Thomas Moo-he, Ess. we are indebted for one of the-, best translations that English literature pos- sesses, and the liveliest exhibition of Greecian . poetry that English litoraturs. can boast. The. author of the present work is aware that he speaks at a time unpropitious to the fame of, Moors. He knows thut the indignation of J some, .and-the mortification of others, have been strongly excited by a volume published by him since his visit to this country. But his translation of Anacreon lias no relation to the; rewinds coiuained inhis " Epistles/Odes, &c," To his brilliant genius, as a poet, and his ability as a translator, repeated editions and -, reiterated applause b°ar ample testimony ; and, by adopting hisVersion of Anacreon, tbe author at once gratifies the feelings of person- ,. al friendship? and pays that tribute of respect, which is so justly due to h s,. unrivalled excel- lence. The design ofthis work was conceived dur- ing the transient visit which Mr Moore paid to this city, m the summer of 1804. A bio- graphical sketch of the life of Anacreon, form- ed upon the .ingenious plan of the Abbe Bar- thelemy, appeared to the author to be.an un- dertaking which offered » fertile source of amusement, and the prosecution of it was 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. ed in a manner not less honorable to himself than grateful to his.friends. His approbation was expressed in 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 ihere had delighted to hold her 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 "way. The work was along time abandoned, snd 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 a continuation would be not wholly unworthy of public perusal.* The author will make no apology for the of- fences he has committed against the regulari- ty of Chronology Jf laborious commentators can griively and ingeniously disjyite 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 an epitaph upon Plato, or criticise the Poexick of Aristotle. Some of these anachronisms were intention- al, in ¦order to afford suitable topics for the conversation of a scholar, and others were the consequence, of carelessness. The work is a fiction, intended to represent ancient manners, and, by making the Odes of Anacreon more familiar, to render, if possible, the popularity of a friend more extensive. To these motives, if the criticks add, as it is sup- posed it must be conceded, some little admix- ture of personal vanity, they have all the caus- es which produced these Memoirs, and they raav 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 the clemency of some .readers ; and that they were almost, concluded before the time which the law terms the years of discretion, might be add- ed as a stronger claim upon the favor of the candid, did not the author fear the retort of some sarcastick critick, that the fact appeared upon the showing of his record. But the just se- verity of criticism admits of no pleas in extenu- ation oi'negligence or imperfection. It is ne- cessary to the integrity of literature, that every writer be judged with strictness aftd 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 seat of this tribunal, with no arrogant pre- ti nsions to distinction: he 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 beard, and where Apollo taught the rudimerhs of his art; so stray on the banks of the Ilyssusand listen to the lyre of Anacreon, or hang over the Leucadian monnt and drop atear tothe 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 sadrealitiesatfrightthepban- toins of fancy from the enchanted bower, and " too feelingly remind us of what we are."— Such are the pleasures of the recluse, at the " solemn noon of night," and they are not un- delightful! -------When the lamps expiring yield to rest, And solitude returns, I silent shun /The noisy mansions, and, attentive, mari the palmy£' ov'es, Resounding once with Plato's voice, arise, Amid whose umbrage green her silver head Th' unfading olive lifts / here the vine-clad hills Lay forth their purple store, and sunny vales In prospects vast their level laps expand, Amid whose beauties glittering Athens tcrw'rs, The blissful scenes where clear Hyssus rolls His sage-inspiringJlsod, whose winding marge The tlrick-wove laurel shades, anil roseate morn Pours all her splendours on th' empurpled scene. The impressive voice of experience will soon testify how far the credulity of ambition can be realized by the sanction of truth. The aspir- ing hope with which literary eminence ha3 al- ways elevated the author, has strewn many a flower over a path of difficulties and dangers, and led him in the reveries of fancy, to a pa- lace of delights, where, ns he has surveyed the precipice that surrounds it, he has ventur- ed to exclaim, with the enraptured artist, Ed.id anche to sono.Pittore.
