The following pieces were com * municated to me in a short-hand letter , abounding with sentiment * and exhibiting in every line strong and unequivocal marks of origina genius * That John Jackson possesses the genuine temperament of poetic inspiration these pieces do abundantly manifest . In a letter which I have this day received , my young friend laments his present situa * tianin the following couplet : — * ¦» ^ Here , ' midst my fellow brutes , I spend my days , Uncheer'd by learning ' s salutary rays .

    of an unlettered muse ; and that I present them to the notice of your Teaders , only as the promising buds of future excellence , which time will mature , and which the candour of your readers will hasten towards perfection . Your obliged reader , fleet . Street , Jan . 12 , 1807 . J . Ni « UiTiNaAX « ,
