o 'er them be bolds the sword, nor /pares tbe spur:
They foam —and bite tbe bit ; but never fir.
Without, bets fair, and form'd like an Appollo ;
Witbin, bow dull, bow very black and hollow !
Britannia mourns her fate but France and Spain,
Cry —beav'n be prais'd long may tbe ty —t reign,
The mafe of virtue, and of law to wear ;
Adulterers—sodomites—and murderers spare.
Patron of vice, and every lawless lust :
Tbefaurge of all that's godly, all that's just.
His court the fchaol of fraud, and fornication ;
And ev'ry evil, to corrupt a nation.
More fatal mifchiefs, on bis feeptre waits,
Than to tbe arms, of all the Bourbonfates.

THE Beautiful half English Horse FOX, the pro
perty oFLevi Allen.
This Horse was got by the famous English Fox
at Newport (Rhode-Ifland) and out of a Narragan
fet Mare this Horse is very little fhcrt of fifteen
hands high, compleat well made every way, car
ries his head and tail to admiration; his alertness
and activity is much taken notice of, and in fine,
he is allowed by all, to be as beautiful a feed horse
as ever was brought into these parts. This Horse,
being but half English, the other half the old Na
raganfet breed, is much preferable to full blooded
horses, and is thought by the best judges to be a
better horse for mending the breed in these parts,
than any full blooded horse whatever. This horse,
four years past, being but four years old, was al
lowed to cover but fifteen mares, thirteen of which
proved with sole, two flunk by bad, or hard using
the mares : Eleven likely colts raised, some of
which was fold at Rhode-Ifland, for eighty dollars,
at one year old.-.-Said horse will cover at two
dollars the season.
MADE in the neatest and ftrongelt manner, and
on the most reasonable terms by the subscri
bers at their shop a few rods north of the court-house.
and next door to Wid. Collyers tavern in Hartford.
As they served a regular apprentifhip to the breeches
making business, they flatter thcrafelves that their
work will meet with general approbation, as they
intend to continue in this town, they will make it
their greatest study to merit the favour of the public.
All orders will be friftly observed & the least favour
gratefully acknowledged by the publick's
most obedient humble fervants'

LEATHER BREECHES
To C O V E R,
TAUGHT in the Grammar School at Hartford,
the Greek and Latin Languages, for the Pur
pose of preparing Youth for the College. Those
who can tarry long enough at the School, and re
quest it, may in the Course of their Education, be
inftruded in Writing, Arithmetic, and the Art of
Speaking ; also Geography, by a new and easy Me
thods tbe Elements of Geometry, Trigonometry, the
Art of Navigation, Surveying, &c. A watchful
Eye is kept over the Morals of the Youth ; and un
wearied attempts made to enrich their Minds with
virtuous Sentiments, and the Principles of the Chrif*
tian Religion. As this Institution was originally
designed for the Benefit of Grammar Scholars, it iff
expected that those who become Members of it, are
able, before their Entrance, to write a legible Hand,
read with some Degree of Propriety in the Bibles
and are disposed to make the learned Languages
their leading Pursuit and Study, whilst they con
tinue in the School. This Reftriaion, it is thought
will fufficiently guard it against being over burthen
ed with Numbers, and many other Embarrassments
that might probably arise from its being open to the
Reception of English Scholars in common with
those who have the Languages principally in View.
Those Gentlemen who fend their Children to thia
Place of Inftrudtion, may rely on the Fidelity of the
Subferiber, who at present is entrusted with the Bu
siness of teaching the School, and will conßantly
aim to answer the just and reasonable Expectations
of the Parents and Guardians of the Youth commit
ted to his Care. As the Proficiency of the Schol
lars in Speaking, Geography, and several other
Parts of Learning, has met the Approbation of a
great Number of Gentlemen of Note and Educati
on in the Colony, who have*repeatedly attended ora
the public Exercises of the School, and been Wit
nesses ofthe Performances of the Youth, the bare
Mention of it is all that is necessary on this Head.
The Subferiber also proposes to open an Evening
School, at said Place, from Five of the Clock in
the Afternoon to Eight, during the Spring and
Summer Seasons, for the Inftruftion of Young
Gentlemen in the Science of Geography, the Ma
riner's Art, and Sttrveying.---Thofe who are desi
rous of being taught in either or all of the last men
tioned Branched of Learning, may, by applying
seasonably, be admitted on reasonable Terms.
