To the IN HABITANTS of this Province.
ITr* H E great reason that there was to apprehend
A that, through the infatuation and obstinacy
of the British Parliament, the nonimportation and
lion-exportation agreement of these Colonies would
continue for a confblerable time, and the great
distress that might consequently ensue, unless some
means were deviled to give employment to the ne
cessitous, together with the advantage that would
arile to the public if manufactories could be eftab
jifhed amongit us, were considerations which in
duced us to make the experiment; and although at
firft we met with difficulties, owing chiefly to our
inexperience, we have now the pealure to inform
you, that we are thoroughly convinced of the utili
ty of this institution ; that it is practicable, and
may be profitable, not only to the persons who are
actually employed in labour, bht to the contri
butors themselves ; and in order to render it still
more extensively ufeful, we are yxt.era.ly desirous
that the Company may be enlarge:, and that every
person who can conveniently Ipare the (mail turn
of Ten Pounds would become a proprietor. There
2re how upwards of 4.00 persons in employment,
which numbers are daily mcreafing, and nothing
is now wanting but capital Itock to carry on a ve
ry extenlive trade.
As the inhabitants of this province are distin
guished for humanity,' if there was no other motive
but the employment of the poor, it must be a firing
incitement to join the company ; but when pr vate
interest, charity to the poor, and the public - od,
unitedly urge us th 'etc, who that has ability can
reful'e. Perlons of cx??r;erc in the linen branch
assure us, that our climate V much more favourable
than either Eo, laid or Leumd, and that 11 thing
is wanting to carry on manufactories very exten
sively, but experienced workmen, and a disposition
in the people to promote the design. As the bleach
ing of linen is a material part of the manufacture,
we may inform the public, th it there is a gentleman
pow in this city, who has been bred to the business,
a man of Hiara&er and abilities, whe, if fufficient
encouragement (hould be given, will loon eftablilh
a bleach-field.

With blue ribbed hole, his hat Aithlone;

If at, man will him secure.
That of the youth I may be sure,
SIX LAWFUL DOLLARS I will pay ;
