Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

September 11. His late Prussian majesty was little less distinguished, for his literary than military talents. In his most beautiful little tale of "Avarice and Glory." which was some time printed before he avowed himself the author, (and which gives a fine picture of human life.) He introduces himself as a shepherd; but, leaving his flocks and the muses; he becomes a soldier. From the field of war, however, he retires to the cabinet; where, as he emphatically says, "drunk with power, and involved in system, he sees, consults, and is pleased only with himself." Convinced of the folly of listening to the voice of ambition, he flies back to his long forsaken cottage, and, resuming his garb of simplicity, passes his days in innocence and peace.
