PROPOSALS I Oft rVPLISIIIKG BY Sl'D SCRIPTIO?.", THE LIFE OF THE "BOsro.Y n.innr With a Portrait by Durand. In youth, I saw the rugged road Mv feet were doomed to tread. And sane, I took misfortune's load. And bared to heav en my head. The frequent requests of friends, and the anxiety expressed by the public gcncrallytp become better acquainted with the history of the "Boston Bard" lias, at length induced him to attempt the publication of his life, to gethcr with a number of poems, which arc necessarily attached to the narrative. Misconception of character; unmerited censure; loss' of health, and the great uncertainty cf life at any time, have each had a due influence in hastening this determination. And if "variety's the very spice of life," the readers of his work will find their mental rer past sufficiently seasoned to please even tht palate of an epicure. The sorrows and misfortunes of himself, and those of hh father's house, began in the childhood of the author -these calamities and griefs, therefore, arc not of his begetting; there must have been a cause foreign to himself: that cause shall be made known with a due regard to the feeling of the living. Except my mother, sister and brother, I stand indebted to no living relative for any favor whatever. If the clouds which veiled the morning sun of life hae been broken and dispersed; if, under a selt given appellation, I have merited any encomiums for my poetical productions; and if those productions have a tendency to instruct, amuse, or cn lighten the understanding, the kindness or knultrcd has not in any manner, nor at any time, been productive of these events. If I have been an hungered the bread of tite stranger has strengthened mc; if weary on his couch have I reposed, slumbered, and refreshed; to the stranger, therefore am I indebted, and I tender him that which I owe no one else gratitude. The heat of the day has been borne alone, having always been as unwilling to ask assistance where a refusal was certain, as I am now solicitous of exclusively enjoying that credit for my poems which candid men may think proper to bestow. BOSTON BARD. Mount Pleasant, (N. Y.) March, 1825.
