their dominions, already have fhackled the courts of Vienna and
Petersburgh) will enflave all Europe.' And to mark the mean
and rapacious character of the Pruffians. they clear every
obftacle to over-run a new country, only because the oppofitions
thrown in their way are found weak, and incapable to resist them.'

After recapitulating the grievous treatment his country has
fuffered, he concludes the first volume in the language of a
Chriftian philofopher. In fo melancholy a fituation, nothing
remains (fays he) but to fubmit the juftice of our caufe to the
Almighty King; who, at this time, is arbitrator between us
and our enemies, and who has fignified his judgment in dividing
the people who delight in war. However, there ftill continues
with us a king moft worthy of a crown, upon whom the all-
powerful hand of God was manifefted in a visible manner upon
that horrid night, the 3d Nov. 1771, to make known to the
world a power that can and will, one day or other, restore to
perfect happiness a nation now funk into ruin; or, in other
words, annihilated.'

He then roufes, and with patriotic fire, challenges his coun-
trymen to shine out in fpite of the cloud that overshadows them,
that the world may view the Poles in their distinguishable
character, Let us (fays he) give a ftriking proof to all Europe
what this nation, by nature brave and free, is capable of atchiev-
ing under the aufpices of a prince, wife in himself, and beloved
by his people; then mark the difference between the ardour of
martial generofity, facrificing their lives and fortunes in fighting
for the liberty of their country; and those low, vile, and merce
nary wretches who have fo wantonly and fo unworthily oppreffedit.

The fecond volume is intended to prove the invalidity of
those claims fet up by the three powerful copartners with re-
spect to many provinces belonging to the republick. In
his endeavours to refute the pretended rights of the court of
Vienna, he has recourfe, as before, to hiftory; in which many
anecdotes appear, that may be interefting to those particular
people who have, from fympathy or attachment, made themselves
parties in their unnatural broils. This volume throughout runs
into thofe kinds of evidences or proofs which treaties, confede-
racies, &c. authorife. Our hiftoriographer, in his inquiries into
the state of the different diftricts of Halicz, Wlodzimirz, Owiet-
zim, Zator, Podolia, and Leffer Ruffia, &c. muft afford inform-
ation, more particularly as those countries are not generally
known; and may perhaps make an opening, through which
fome important fecrets may be difcovered, not before perfectly
understood by our minifterial guardians.

For a more extended idea of the present ftate of Poland, we
muft refer the reader not only to the work before us at large,
but to the fpirited and affecting letters on that subject; of which
ample accounts are given in our 47th and 48th volumes.
