In two volumes. Vol. I. By Susanna Rowson. Oh how unlike the complex work of man, / Heaven's easy, artless, unencumbered plan: / No meretricious graces to beguile, / No foreign ornaments to clog the pile, / From ostentation, as from weakness free, / It stands like the cerulean arch we see, / Majestic in its own simplicity. / Inscribed above the portal, from afar / Conspicuous as the brightness of a star, / Legible only by the light they give, / Stand the soul quick'ning words, Believe and Live. Cowper's Truth. In conformity to the Act of the Congress of the United States, entitled, "An Act for the encouragement of Learning, by securing copies of maps, charts and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned;" and also to an Act entitled, "An Act supplementary to an Act, entitled, An Act for the encouragement of Learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned; and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of Designing, Engraving and Etching Historical, and other Prints."
