Print on Demand. This book is one of the earliest British literary journals that explored contemporary intellectual ideas alongside artistic works. It featured new writing, news, and commentary on the arts in the early 18th century, covering a wide range of literary and cultural topics that reflected the complex political, social, and intellectual landscape of the time. One of the first of its kind, this periodical introduced a format that would go on to become the standard for literary magazines and newspapers that followed. The author displays a keen eye for talent, featuring work from established and up-and-coming poets, as well as incisive commentary on contemporary literature, theater, and philosophy. Through its diverse and engaging content, this book offers a unique glimpse into the literary world of early 18th century Britain, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of the period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Id. The molt accurate of the modern anaibniifis have obferv'd, that ere is a certain glue or varn ilb, called by them onrus mucosum immediately under the Erro'enms, and that in different animals, or in difi'erent parts of the fame animal, being of a different colour, it imports it to' the Epihennixs, which 'tis, then to be fup pofed that this glue or gelly' in the Negroes is black.' But [till the quefiion will be how came it to _be fo in them'and white in us to which it may be eafily anfwer'd, that every one naturally begetting its like, 'tis no.wonder the children of Blacks thoold be black and then we mutt come to the latter part of the queflion, viz. How the firfi parents of the black generation came to be of that hue whiph is not fo eafy to be determined; for to fiy'that it was a punilhment infliéted tipon Chan; and his po fierity, is a very groundlefs uppofition; we rather think that' their going naked in a climate \where the fun-is extream hot, did contribute a little to if, by fcorching as it were the thick juice aformenti oned as' we fee that violent heat otlfire turns black feveral bodies; we alfo may conjecture that might ufe fome art to make this black colour the er, as 'tis related the Hotentots, or natives of the Cape Hope. Do at this day, anointi their children with a mixture of foot and oil, and o expofe them naked to the heat of the fun: this hue might be more firongly fixt in them after hy thef'orce of ima ination, by their Women. (when pregnant) always Eeholding flich. A famous precedent whereof, we have in billory, of a white Lady's conceiving a Black, from her continual looking on a Negro's piéture. Sa cred Writ gives us the hire infiance in brute crea tures.
