For they are daily plunderers of you;
’Tis right that they should perish for their fault;
But who is jealous for the morning-dew?
TO CORRESPONDENTS
An essay “On the reason of animals not the reason of man,” is accepted, and shall appear soon.
An essay “On the study of human nature in the works of the imagination,” is under consideration.
Lines “to Miss W.” and a “Vision,” are declined.
“Washington,” and “Poetica Falsa,” both possess considerable merit; but from press of matter, we are compelled respectfully to decline them.
“The Weather,” and a “Review of the past, No. 1.” are inadmissible.
P.’s remonstrance is received. Upon reconsideration, we perceive the impropriety of publishing the stanzas without the “Prolegomena;” and the Prolegomena are too long for insertion. The inference is obvious.
