The following Account of BENJAMIN BANNEKER was prefixed to his
Almanack published in Baltimore last year, but as this will probably
come into the hands of many who have not seen the former, it is thought
best to re-publish it.
----------------------------------------------
Baltimore, August 20, 1791.
BENJAMIN BANNEKER, a free black, is about fifty-nine years of age; he
was born in Baltimore county; his father was an African, and his mother
the offspring of African parents. - His father and mother having obtained
their freedom, were enabled to send him to an obscure school, where he
learned, when a boy, reading, writing, and arithmetic as far as double
position; and to leave him, at their deaths, a few acres of land, upon
which he has supported himself ever since by means of economy and
constant labour, and preserved a fair reputation. To struggle incessantly
against want is no ways favourable to improvement: what he had
learned, however, he did not forget; for as some hours of leisure will
occur in the most toilsome life, he availed himself of these, not to read
and acquire knowledge from writings of genius and discovery, for of
such he had none, but to digest and apply, as occasions presented, the
few principles of the few rules of arithmetic he had been taught at
school. This kind of mental exercise formed his chief amusement, and
soon gave him a facility in calculation that was often serviceable to his
neighbours, and at length attracted the attention of the Messrs. Ellicott,
a family remarkable for their ingenuity and turn to the useful mechanics.
It is about three years since Mr. George Ellicott lent him Mayer's Tables,
Ferguson's Astronomy, Leadbeater's Lunar Tables, and some
astronomic instruments, but without accompanying them with either hint
or instruction, that might further his studies, or lead him to apply them to
any useful result. These books and instruments, the first of the kind he
had ever seen, opened a new world to Benjamin, and from
thenceforward he employed his leisure in astronomical researches. He
now took up the idea of the calculations for an Almanack, and actually
completed an entire set for the last year, upon his original stock of
arithmetic. Encouraged by this first attempt, he entered upon his
calculation for 1792, which, as well as the former, he began and finished
without the least information of assistance from any person, or other
books than those I have mentioned; so that whatever merit is attached
to his present performance, is exclusively and peculiarly his own.
I have been the more careful to investigate those particulars, and to

ascertain their reality, as they form an interesting fact in the History of
Man; and as you may want them to gratify curiosity, I have no objection
to your selecting them for your account of Benjamin.

The ANATOMY of Man's Body, as said to be governed by the Twelve
CONSTELLATIONS.
[[image: A nude man seated on a sphere, encircled by astrological

pictorial images and their corresponding symbols, with lines pointing to
the anatomical parts of the man to which each symbol applies. In
clockwise order from top left, the symbols are:
Taurus [[bull]], Neck.
Aries [[ram]], the Head and Face.
Gemini [[twins]], Arms.
Leo [[lion]], Heart.
Libra [[scales]], Reins.
Sagittarius [[archer]], Thighs.
Aquarius [[waterbearer]], Legs.
Pisces [[fishes]], the Feet.
Capricorn [[goat]], Knees.
Scorpio [[scorpion]], Secrets.
Virgo [[virgin]], Bowels.
Cancer [[crab]], Breast.]]
To know where the Sign is. First find the day of the month, and against it
the sign or place of the moon, in the sixth column. Then finding the sign
here, it shews the part of the body it is said to govern.
We have inserted the above, and the prognostics of the weather,

according to the most approved methods; but think it proper to inform
our readers, that, in this enlightened age, the learned put but little
confidence in them.

A PLAN OF A PEACE-OFFICE, FOR THE UNITED STATES.
------------------------------------------
AMONG the many defects which have been pointed out in the federal
constitution by its antifederal enemies, it is much to be lamented that no
person has taken notice of its total silence upon the subject of an office
of the utmost importance to the welfare of the United States, that is, an
office for promoting and preserving perpetual peace in our country.
It is to be hoped that no objection will be made to the establishment of
such an office, while we are engaged in a war with the Indians, for as
the War-Office of the United States was established in the time of
peace, it is equally reasonable that a Peace-Office should be
established in the time of war.
The plan of this office is as follows:
I. Let a Secretary of Peace be appointed to preside in this office, who
shall be perfectly free from all the present absurd and vulgar European
prejudices upon the subject of government; let him be a genuine
republican and a sincere Christian, for the principles of republicanism
and Christianity are no less friendly to universal and perpetual peace,
than they are to universal and equal liberty.
II. Let a power be given to the Secretary to establish and maintain free-
schools in every city, village, and township of the United States; and let
him be made responsible for the talents, principles, and morals of all his
schoolmasters. Let the youth of our country be carefully instructed in
reading, writing, and arithmetic, and in the doctrines of a religion of
some kind: the Christian religion should be preferred to all others; for it
belongs to this religion exclusively to teach us not only to cultivate peace
with all men, but to forgive, nay, more - to love our very enemies. It
belongs to it further to teach us that the Supreme Being alone
possesses a power to take away human life, and that we rebel against
his laws, whenever we undertake to execute death in any way whatever
upon any of his creatures.
III. Let every family in the United States be furnished at the public
expense, by the Secretary of this office, with

a copy of the American edition of the BIBLE. This measure has become
the more necessary in our country, since the banishment of the bible, as
a school-book, form most of the schools in the United States. Unless the
price of this book be paid for by the public, there is reason to fear that in
a few years it will be met with only in courts of justice or in magistrates'
offices; and should the absurd mode of establishing truth by kissing this
sacred book fall into disuse, it may probably, in the course of the next
generation, be seen only as curiosity on a shelf in Mr. Peale's museum.
IV. Let the following sentence be inscribed in letter of gold over the door
of every house in the United States:
THE SON OF MAN CAME INTO THE WORLD, NOT TO DESTROY
MEN'S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM:
V. To inspire a veneration for human life, and an horror at the shedding
of human blood, let all those laws be repealed which athorise juries,
judges, sheriffs, or hangmen to assume the resentments of individuals,
and to commit murder in cold blood in any case whatever. Until this
reformation in our code of penal jurisprudence take place, it will be in
vain to attempt to introduce universal and perpetual peace in our
country.
VI. To subdue that passion for war, which education, added to human
depravity, have made universal, a familiarity with the instruments of
death, as well as all military shews, should be carefully avoided. For
which reason, militia laws should every where be repealed, and military
dresses and military titles should be laid aside: reviews tend to lessen
the horrors of a battle by connecting them with the charms of order;
militia laws generate idleness and vice, and thereby produce the wars
they are said to prevent; military dresses fascinate the minds of young
men, and lead them from serious and useful professions; were there no
uniforms, there would probably be no armies; lastly, military titles feed
vanity, and keep up ideas in the mind which lessen a sense of the folly
and miseries of war.
In the seventh and last place, let a large room, adjoining the federal hall,
be appropriated for transacting the business

and preserving all the record of this office. Over the door of this room, let
there be a sign, on which the figures of a LAMB, a DOVE, and an
OLIVE-BRANCH should be painted, together with the following
inscriptions in letters of gold:
PEACE ON EARTH - GOOD-WILL TO MAN.
AH! WHY WILL MEN FORGET THAT THEY ARE BRETHREN?
Within this apartment let there be a collection of plough-shares and
pruning-hooks made out of swords and spears; and on each of the walls
of the apartment, the following pictures as large as the life:
1. A lion eating straw with an ox, and an adder playing upon the lips of a
child.
2. An Indian boiling his venison in the same pot with a citizen of
Kentucky.
3. Lord Cornwallis and Tippoo Saib, under the shade of a sycamore-tree
in the East-Indies, drinking Madeira wine together out of the same
decanter.
4. A group of French and Austrian soldiers dancing arm in arm, under a
bower erected in the neighbourhood of Mons.
5. A St. Domingo planter, a man of color, and a native of Africa,
legislating together in the same colonial assembly.*
To complete the entertainment of this delightful apartment, let a group of
young ladies, clad in white robes, assemble every day at a certain hour,
in a gallery to be erected for the purpose, and sing odes, and hymns,
and anthems in praise of the blessings of peace.
One of these songs should consist of the following beautiful lines from
Mr. Pope:
Peace o'er the world her olive wand extends,
And white-rob'd innocence from heaven descends;
All crimes shall cease, and ancient frauds shall fail,
Returning justice lifts aloft her scale.
--------------------------------------------
*At the time of writing this, there existed wars between the United States
and the American Indians, between the British nation and Tippoo Saib,
between the planters of St. Domingo and their African slaves, and
between the French nation and the emperor of Germany.

EXTRACTS FROM THE DEBATES IN THE LAST SESSION OF THE
BRITISH PARLIAMENT, APR. 1792.
---------------------
Abstract from the speech of William Pitt, esq. on the motion for the
Abolition of the Slave-Trade.
THERE are very few of those who have spoken this night, who have
not thought it their duty to declare their full and entire concurrence with
my honorable friend in promoting the abolition of the slave-trade, as
their ultimate object: however we may differ as to the time and manner
of it, we are agreed in the abolition itself; and my honorable friends have
expressed their agreement in this sentiment with that sensibility upon
the subject, which humanity does most undoubtedly require.
The point now in dispute between us is a difference merely as to the
period of time at which the abolition ought to take place. I therefore
congratulate this house, the country, and the world, that this great point
is gained; that we may now consider this trade as having received its
condemnation; that its sentence is sealed; that this curse of mankind is
seen by the house in its true light; that the greatest stigma on our
national character which ever yet existed, is about to be removed; and,
sir (which is still more important) that mankind, I trust, in general, are
now likely to be delivered from the greatest practical evil that ever has
afflicted the human race-from the feverest and most extensive calamity
recorded in the history of the world.
-----------------
Mr. M. Montague. I shall now conclude with repeating a profession I
formerly made- that I never will cease to promote the abolition of the
slave-trade, with every faculty of body and mind, till the injuries of
humanity are redressed, and the national character relieved from the
deepest disgrace that is recorded in the annals of mankind.
-----------------
Mr. C. J. Fox [in reply to Addington, speaker of the house.] If the
question be, whether Britain shall retain the slave-trade and the West-
India islands, or part with them both together; I do not hesitate a
moment in

deciding which alternative she ought to take: I declare at once, better be
without the islands than not abolish the slave-trade. Let us, therefore,
this night, act the part which will do us honor; let us vote for bringing in a
bill for the abolition. I declare, that whether we vote in a small minority,
or a large one, we never will give up the point: whether in this house, or
out of this house; in whatever situation I may ever be; as long as I have
a voice to speak, this question shall never be at an end. Even if all those
who are engaged in this question were to be removed away, there never
would be wanting men alive to their duty, who would cry out for justice,
who would maintain a perpetual struggle, till this trade should be done
away.
We who think that these things are not merely impolitic, but inhuman
and unjust, that they are not of the nature of trade, but that they are
crimes, pollutions which stain the honor of a country; we, sir, will never
relax our efforts.
We wish to prevent man from preying upon man; and we must do our
duty, let the world think of us as they may: and I possess the fullest
confidence that our perseverance will ensure success.

A SERIOUS MEDITATION: OR; A CHRISTIAN'S DUTY BRIEFLY SET
FORTH.
-----------------
THERE is nothing that I ought to wish for so much, as to have my heart
clean in the sight of God, so that after I die, my soul may be happy for
ever. But how may I secure to myself this blessing? By performing, with
the assistance of his grace, my duty to him, my duty to my neighbour,
and my duty to myself.
My duty to God is, to love, honor, and fear him, as my Maker, my

Governor, and my Judge; remembering that he knows all my thoughts,
and sees all my most secret actions. I must accept every dispensation of
his Providence with thankfulness. I must also keep his commandments,
and pray to him to pardon and bless me for the sake of Jesus Christ,
who died to save the souls of all

men, upon condition that they smeerely repent, turn unto him in faith,
and endeavour, by obedience to his will, to live a virtuous and holy life.
My duty to my neighbour is, to love him as myself, and to take care that
all my actions be just and honest, and words true and sincere, and all
my thoughts charitable and kind; that so I may in every respect do to all
others as I would they should do unto me.
If I sincerely apply my heart to these duties, I may humbly hope that the
Almighty will continue unto me the assistance of his grace, and will
thereby enable me to perform them; and then I shall be made happy in
this life, and eternally happy hereafter.

SENTIMENTS OF PHOCION ON WAR.
ONE of the great principles in the politics of Phocion (a noted Athenian
general and eminent orator) says Rollin (in his History of the Grecians)
was, that peace ought always to be the aim of every wise government;
and, with this view, he was a constant oppoter of all wars that were
either imprudent or unnecessary. He was even apprehensive of those
that were most just and expedient; because he was sensible that every
war weakened and impoverished a state, even amidst a series of the
greatest victories; and that whatever the advantages might be at the
commencement of it, there neve was any certainty of terminating it
without experiencing the most tragical vicissitudes of fortune.

and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the
most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions
on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it; for man is an
imitative animal. The quality is the germ of all education in him. From his
cradle to his grave he is learning to do what he sees others do. If a
parent could find no motive either in his philanthropy or his self-love, for
restraining the intemperance of passion towards his slave, it should
always be a sufficient one that his child is present. But generally it is not
sufficient. The parent storms, the child looks on, catches the lineaments
of wrath, puts on the same airs in the circle of smaller slaves, gives a
loose to his worst of passions, and thus nursed, educated, and daily
exercised in tyranny, cannot but be stamped by it with odious
peculiarities. The man must be a prodigy, who can retain his manners
and morals undepraved by such circumstances. And with what
execration should the statesman be loaded, who, permitting one half of
the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other, transforms those
into despots, and these into enemies, destroys the morals of the one
part, and the amor patriae of the other. For if a slave can have a country
in this world, it must be any other in preference to that in which he is
born to live and labour for another: in which he must lock up the faculties
of his nature, contribute as far as depends on his individual endeavours
to the evanishment of the human race, or entail his own miserable
condition on the endless generations proceeding from him. With the
morals of the people, their industry also is destroyed. For in a warm
climate, no man will labour for himself who can make another labour for
him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves a very small
proportion indeed are ever seen to labour. And can the liberties of a
nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a
conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of
God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I
tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice
cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature, and natural
means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of
situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by
supernatural

interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us
in such a contest. - But it is impossible to be temperate, and to pursue
this subject through the various considerations of policy, of morals, of
history natural and civil. We must be contented to hope they will force
their way into every one's mind. I think a change already perceptible,
since the origin of the present revolution. The spirit of the master is
abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition mollifying,
the way I hope preparing, under the auspices of heaven, for a total
emancipation, and that this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with
the consent of the masters, rather than by their extirpation.

On Liberty, and in Praise of Mr. Howard [[author]]Cowper[[/author]]
[[demarcation line]]
OH, could I worship aught beneath the skies,
That earth hath seen, or fancy could devise,
Thine altar, sacred Liberty, should stand,
Built by no mercenary vulgar hand,
With fragrant turf, and flow'rs as wild and fair,
As ever dress'd a bank,or scented summer air.
Duly as ever on the mountain's height
The peep of morning shed a dawning light;
Again, when Evening in her sober vest
Drew the grey curtain of the fading West,
My soul should yield thee willing thanks and praise
For the chief blessings of my fairest days:
But that were sacrilege - praise is not thine,
But his who gave thee, and preserves thee mine:
Else I would say, and as I spake bid fly
A captive bird into the boundless sky,
This triple realm adores thee: - thou art come
From Sparta hither, and art here at home;
We feel thy force still active, at this hour
Enjoy immunity from priestly pow'r,

While Conscience, happier than in ancient years,
Owns no superior but the God she fears.
Propitious Spirit! yet expunge a wrong
Thy rights have suffer'd, and our land, too long;
Teach mercy to ten thousand hearts that share
The fears and hopes of a commercial care;
Prisons expect the wicked, and were built
To bind the lawless, and to punish guilt;
But shipwreck, earthquake, battle, fire, and flood,
Are mighty mischiefs not to be withstood;
And honest merit stands on slipp'ry ground;
Where covert guile and artifice abound:
Let just restraint, for public peace design'd,
Chain up the wolves and tigers of mankind,
The foe of virtue has no claim to thee,
but let insolvent innocence go free.
Patron of else the most despis'd of men,
Accept the tribute of a stranger's pen;
Verse, like the Laurel, its immortal meed,
Should be the guerdon of a noble deed:
I may alarm thee, but I fear the shame
(Charity chosen as my theme and aim)
I must incur, forgetting Howard's name.
Blest with all wealth can give thee, to resign
Joys doubly sweet to feelings quick as thine,
To quit the bliss they rural scenes bestow,
To seek a nobler amidst scenes of woe;
To traverse seas, range kingdoms, and bring home,
Not the proud monuments of Greece or Rome,
but knowledge- such as only dungeons teach!
And only sympathy like thine could reach!
That grief, sequester'd from the public stage,
Might smooth her feathers, and enjoy her cage,
Speaks a divine ambition, and a zeal
The boldest patriot might be proud to feel.
Oh that the voice of clamour and debate,
That pleads for peace till it disturbs the state,
Were hush'd in favour of thy gen'rous plea,
the poor thy clients, and Heav'n's smile thy fee!

EXTRACT FROM WILKINSON'S APPEAL TO ENGLAND ON BEHALF
OF THE ABUSED AFRICANS.
---------------
ARE negroes savage? Britons once were so,

And little knew beyond the dart and bow.
Of Europe's kings the muse with ease could tell,
How at their nod, the heads of subjects fell ---
Ah, polish'd Europe! should we backward trace
The early deeds of thy superior race,
How should we find thy ruffian heroes then,
Like Afric's now, profane the rights of men?
Should find defenceless captives 'raign'd around,
Pale, silent, trembling on the blushing ground,
While slashing swords arose, and every blow
With savage triumph brought a brother low.
Now humaniz'd around, the battle o'er,
The soldier from his falchion wipes the gore,
Returns it to its sheath, and gently leads
His captive homewards; comforts, clothes, and feeds,
Till he by ransom or exchange regains
The wish'd-for comfort of his native plains.
But should he labour with domestic woe,
To his own land, at once, he bids him go.
Thus Europe from her barb'rous maxims past,
And shall not Afric raise her views at last?
But while for slaves you bribe her kings to war,
On all reform you fix a stubborn bar.
Is liberty a being quite unknown
Beneath the fervours of the torrid zone?
Well, be it so: but must she ne'er appear
With angel-hand to scatter blessings there?
Oh! Liberty, the tyrant's only dread,
Proceeding, here, with slow and cautious tread:
There, with more bold and rapid steps advance
Thy glorious toils, as o'er the plains of France!
Who would have thought of France, twelve months ago,
When royal frowns did twenty millions awe,
That she so soon would spurn despotic sway;
Her subjects dictate, and her king obey?

[[start page]]Yet the first spark that lit the mighty flame
From some lone hand--perhaps from Franklin came.
The hoary sage, on policy intent
(As erst on lightning) ne'er foresaw th' event.
Oh! may the sacred ardour spread amain
Through bigot Portugal and gloomy Spain,
Shake the fierce councils of the dark Divan,
And bid the Ruffian rise, with "I'm a man."
Nay, may the abject sons of Afric feel
Shot through their veins the patriotic zeal--
The conqu'ring sword has ravag'd far and wide
Through human race; there, other means be try'd:
A just and gentle commerce would unfold
Maxims to Afric worth her sands of gold.
From small beginnings mightiest works proceed;
This trade abolish'd may to freedom lead.
And thou, my country, sure 'twould honour thee
To be the first to help to set her free.
Thou seest her thraldom and her many woes:
May'st thou no longer number with her foes,
But bid thy sons a dreadful traffic cease,
And spread, by one more fair, the arts of peace--
Long o'er the globe have thy proud thunders hurl'd,
Now raise thy views to civilize the world!

THE HAMLET: BY T. WARTON.
-------------------------------------------------
THE hinds how blest, who, ne'er beguil'd
To quit their hamlet's hawthorn-wild,
Nor haunt the crowd, nor tempt the main,
For splendid care and guilty gain!
When morning's twilight-tinctur'd beam
Strikes their low thatch with slanting gleam,
They rove abroad in aether blue,
To dip the scythe in fragrant dew:
The sheaf to bind, the beech to fell,
That nodding shades a craggy dell.
'Midst gloomy glades, in warbles clear,
Wild nature's sweetest notes they hear:

On green, untrodden banks they view
The hyacinth's neglected hue:
In their lone haunts and woodland rounds
They spy the squirrel's airy bounds;
And startle from her ashen spray,
Across the glen, the screaming jay.
Each native charm their steps explore
Of solitude's sequester'd store.
For them the moon, with cloudless ray,
Mounts to illume their homeward way:
Their weary spirits to relieve,
The meadow's incense breathe at eve.
No riot mars the simple fare
That o'er a glimm'ring hearth they share:
But when the curfeu's measur'd roar
Duly, the dark'ning vallies o'er,
Has echo'd from the distant town,
They wish no beds of cygnet-down:
No trophy'd canopies, to close
Their drooping eyes in quick repose.
Their little sons, who spread the bloom
Of health around the clay-built room,
Or through the primros'd coppice stray,
Or gamble in the new-mown hay:
Or quaintly braid the cowslip-twine,
Or drive afield the tardy kine;
Or hasten from the sultry hill
To loiter at the shady rill:
Or climb the tall pine's gloomy crest,
To rob the raven's ancient nest.
Their humble porch with honied flow'rs
The curling woodbine's shade embow'rs:
From the trim garden's thymy mound
Their bees in busy swarms resound:
Nor fell Disease, before his time,
Hastes to consume life's golden prime:
But when their temples long have wore
The silver crown of tresses hoar;
As studious still calm peace to keep,
Beneath a flow'ry turf they sleep.
