Johnson, 8vo. pp. 114. This work appears to have been printed in Philadelphia in 1793. “ It de

serves to be remarked, though it be a praise of a very inferior nature compared with the other merits of this tract, that it is written with a purity and elegance in English style, not very often observed in American productions : we find in it scarcely any of those licentious innovations, and unidiomatical combinations of words, by which the Anglo-Ame. rican style has of late been too often disfigured ; and which threaten, if they be not checked, to convert the English which is written and spoken on the different sides of the Atlantic into two different languages.”

from persons who have emigrated; containing remarks, notes, and anecdotes, political, philosophical, and literary, of the present state, situation, population, prospects, and advantages of America ; together with the reception, success, mode of life, opinions, and situation of many characters who have emigrated, &c.

Walker, 8vo. pp. 143. These letters appear to bave been forgeries, made up to cure what was

called the American or emigration mania. They are represented to be from a carpenter, a stonemason, a plaisterer, and a painter and glazier; but they have too much literary style and arrangement, to proceed from com.

mon mechanics. 5 Observations on the North American Land Company lately

instituted in Philadelphia; containing an illustration of the object of the Company's plan, the articles of association, with a succinct account of the States wherein the lands lie; to which are added, remarks on the American lands in general, more particularly the pine-lands of the Southern and Western States; in two letters from Robert G. Harper, Esq. Member

of Congress for South Carolina, to a gentleman in Philadelphia. 8vo. pp. 149.

Debrett,
Mr. Harper's letters are sensibly written, and his remarks on the pine-barrens

are very satisfactory, and prove that these lands, when brought into cul

tivation, will be very valuable. 6 A Memoir concerning the fascinating faculty which has been

Some of these letters were first printed about the year 1777, and the fol-

lowing were declared by Washington to be forgeries : Letters to Lund
Washington, June 12, July 8, 15, 16, and 22d; to John Parke Custis,
June 18, 1776; and to Mrs. Washington, June 24, 1776. They were
forged, according to the Monthly Review, by a Mr. V-, at the time
a young episcopal clergyman, who came from New York, in order to make
his fortune in England, in the character of a loyalist. They were re-

printed in New York and Philadelphia.
