As an object of faith, the countless throng of the heathen gods, when compared with the God of Chris tian's, appears fantastical and preposterous; but the ele gant and agreeable fictions which Mythology fur nishes, ar'e admirably suited to the purposes of poetry, statuary, and painting. The elegant, the beautiful, the graceful, the lovely, the amorous, the novel, the romantic, the marvellous, the fairy, the fantastical, the sublime — these are the feasts in which imagination revels; the beauties and the terrors of creation; — to survey forests, precipices.
