It will be remembered by the readers of the Spectator, that the original line is rendered by Addison, "There is no living with thee, nor without thee." Of the English puns it may perhaps be said, "far-fetched and little worth," yet from Dryden's Alexander's feast we find one or two very palatable. But to extract excellencies might

be endless.

The American Edition appears very neat, and we hope it is as correctly printed, as the London copy, which has not offended us with any faults during some months acquaintance.

The Battle of the Eutaw Springs, and Evacuation of Charleston, or the glorious 14th of December, 1782, a national drama in five acts. By William Joor, of St. George, Dor

chester, South-Carolina, &c. &c. Charleston, printed for the au thor by J. Hoff, 1807. Entered according to act of Congress, &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c.

RARE stuff this! But as Mr. Joor must have had his brains blown out in this same battle, it is not so bad. Like the productions of learned goats or pigs, or of those beings, who write and sew with their toes, and cut wood with their teeth, it excites our admiration. The errors and absurdities, with which it abounds, the want of common sense, and the want of a plot, are all very pardonable. We recommend it to The Republicans of South Carolina in general, and to those in particular, who were liberal and patriotic enough to bestow on it the meed of unbounded applause, as the rarest dish of gallimaufry, that we have ever yet seen. these gentlemen the unhappy author has already presented it in his dedication, and to them, we most cheerfully commit it.
