PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, I
The HISTORY of the Life and furprizing
Adventures of
Mr. DUNCAN CAMPBELL,
Born deaf and dumb, who could both read and write,
and by dint of genius could teach others deaf and
dumb to do the fame.
THIS BOOK shall be printed in large twelves,
and to be neatly bound and lettered, price to
fubferibers One Dollar only, and that to be paid on
delivery of the book. One to each dozen will be
allowed to those who take in fubferi ptions, and de
liver the books. Four beautiful copper-plates will
embellish this book, one of which is a curious cop
per-plate with a grammar and syntax, shewing how
the de:f and dumb may be methodically taught to
read and write any language.
Of the goodness and antiquity of the name and
family of this Gentleman, no one can question: he
is a Campbell, and lineally defeended from the
house of Argyle in Scotland.
Beyond the grave I fee thy deathless fame.
The fair andjoung all Jinging Campbell's name.
Among the many curious fragments of biography,
none can afford a greater variety of incidents than
thalife of this Gentleman 1 it is accompanied with
such diversity of circumstances; that it concerns and
collects (as I may fay) within itfelf, every station
of life in the universe. Besides there is a demand in
almost every page, that relates any new aft of his,
for the fineft and closest difquititions that learning
can make upon human nature, to account how
those a&s could be done by him.
Morals in every page where e'er they took
They find, divinely scattered thro' tby book.
No sooner was this book promised by way of ad
vertisement in London, but it was greedily coveted
and greatly demanded by people of all ranks and
Rations of life, from the Prince to the Peasant and
from the Peeress to the Waiting-woman ; so that
out of two numerous editions, not a single copy can
be obtained, but what is in private hands. And as
the promulgation of this American edition has met
with Inch encouragement already, by the frioft dis
tinguished patrons of literary taste, the fame will
soon be put in the press, and dispatched with all
speed.
N. B. After the firft day of August the price to
all nominal or non-fubferibers will be One Dollar
and One-Third of a Dollar —Subferiptions are re
ceived by Messrs. W. and T. Bradford and Mr
J. Dunlap, in Philadelphia.
*** The firft volume of the American edition of
FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS is finished, and the
undertaker requests the favour of tlrofe Gentlemen
who live at a distance in the country, that they will
please to fend for their books. I am,
The Public's much obliged humble fervaht,

AS the partnership between Andrew

Caldwell will be under the disagreeable necessity of
