Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Cursory Glimpse of the State of the Nation, on the Twenty-Second of February, 1814: Being the Eighty-First Anniversary of the Birth of Washington The following Paper upon The State of the Nation, was written and put to press - upon the spur of the occasion, in the abstract, allegorical manner, of the Tatlers, Spectators, and Guardians, of the last century; which are said to have had so great an effect upon public sentiment, in those unsettled times, as to have contributed, more than any thing else, to the prevalence of independent principles, and the quiet establishment of the Hanoverian family upon the vacant throne of the house of Stuart. But the intended conclusion has since assumed a more declamatory tone; which the critical reader is requested to excuse, as the apparent incongruity cannot now be corrected. Tuesday, February 23d. 1814. Non fumum ex fulgore, sed ex fumo dare lucem Cogitat, ut speciosa deliinc miracula promat. - Horace. One with a flash begins, and ends in smoke; The other out of smoke brings glorious light, And (without raising expectation high) Surprizes us with dazzling miracles. - Roscommon. The air of our atmosphere, it is well known to all persons acquainted with chymistry, consists of oxygen, and nitrogen, in the proportions of about twenty-one parts of the former to seventy-nine parts of the latter. It is highly probable that in the atmosphere, the two gases are not chymically combined; but exist, in a state of simple mixture, as when artificially mixed, in the above proportions, they exhibit all the general properties of atmospheric air.
