N. B. As said John Hunter has been regularly
bred to the manufacturing of linen cloth and tewing
threads, and the railing and dressing of flax to per
fe&ion, at the most noted places for those different
branches in North Britain and Ireland ; and as he
can fully demonstrate, that this country has many
advantages superior to the former, for carrying on
the linen manufacture (the price of labour excepted,
and that, he is convinced, could soon be reduced,
as a large number of weavers and spinners could be
got from Scotland and Ireland upon easy terms) it
any gentlemen would encourage an undertak ng
that would have such an evident tendency to pro
mote the good of the country, he would be glad to
enter into a contract of partnerflrip with them, and
establish a business that he is convinced would, in
a Short time, turn to advantage; and as the goods
he has already finished has given entire fatisfadion,
he humbly hopes the public will chearfully encou
rage such an undertaking.

it suits their conveniency.
