The Literary Magazine, and American Register, Band 5Charles Brockden Brown John Conrad & Company, 1806 This monthly, begun by Charles Brockden Brown in Philadelphia in October, 1803, was similar to his New York Monthly, but gave more attention to political chronicles and general intelligence and contained less fiction than the Monthly had. The contents were varied; most pieces were brief, and about half were original. Agriculture, travel, feminism, and literature were among the topics, and there was also much medical information, especially concerning yellow fever and smallpox. Brown claimed that inoculation for smallpox had done more harm than good. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900. |

Seite 143 - Go, lovely Rose! Tell her, that wastes her time and me, That now she knows, When I resemble her to thee, How sweet and fair she seems to be. Tell her that's young And shuns to have her graces spied, That hadst thou sprung In deserts, where no men abide, Thou must have uncommended died. Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retired: Bid her come forth, Suffer herself to be desired, And not...

Seite 379 - But, with submission, I think we may be better known by our looks than by our words, and that a man's speech is much more easily disguised than his countenance. In this case, however, I think the air of the whole face is much more expressive than the lines of it. The truth of it is, the air is generally nothing else but the inward disposition of the mind made visible.
