T T in thc Grammar School at Hartford,
4 , e Greek an d Latin Languages, for the Pur
pose of preparing Youth for thc College.—Those
who can tarry long enough at the School, and re
*n ^ e Course of their Education, be
inftruaed in Writing, Arithmetic, and the Art of
Speaking ; also Geography, by a new and easy Me-
A ' t he 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
"a" Religion- As this Institution was originally
designed for the Benefit of Grammar Scholar!, it is
expelled 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 Bible,
and are disposed to make the learned Languages
their leading Pursuit and Study, whilst they con
°^/^ e Sch °° L This Reftridion, it is thought
will sufficiently guard it against being over burthen
' with Numbers, and many other Embarrassments
might probably arise from its being open to the
Reception of English Scholars in common with
,° h f ve the Languages principally in View.
Those Gentlemen who fend their Children to this
Place of Inftrudion, may re l y o n the Fidelity of the
Subscriber, who at present is entrusted with the Bu
siness of teaching the School, and will constantly
'° a"""" the J u ft 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
®. n in the Colony, who have repeatedly attended on
the public Exercises of the School, and been Wit
neffes of the Performances of the Youth, the bare
all that is necessary on this Head.
Tne Subscriber also proposes to open an Evening
at said Place, from Five of the Clock in
, Afternoon to Eight, during the Spring and
Summer Seasons, for the Inftruftion of Young
Gentiemen in the Science of Geography, the Ma
riner's Art, and Surveying.--.Thofe who are desi
rous of being taught in either or all of the last men
tioned Branches of Learning, may, by applying
leafonably, be admitted on reasonable Terms.

^DIALOGUE between thePopE, the Devil,
and a Tory.
POPE* ff HAT instrument; my friends, shall we
employ
All order, all things sacred to destroy?
What wretch so vile, as to accept a place,
Himfelf and human nature to disgrace?
What villain in our cause shall we obtain,
To spread my own, and your infernal reign ?
Devil. Rejoice and triumph all th' infernal
powers,
For this there is a wretch forever ours;
Earth's vilest offspring, whom the good difpife,
Whose pleasure is in propagating lies.
Robb ry and treason give his foul delight,
And blood and carnage gratify his fight:
At our command he'll murder friends and foes,
And dare omnipotence his measures to oppose.
A To, this— whom Rome and Hell admire,
And all whose a&ions I myfelf inspire.
Pope. Happy Device, your counsels I approve,
And bid defiance to the powers above.
But here the Tory comes confefs'd to view,
How much he bears your image on his brow !
Tory. Ye powers of darkness aid my black design,
And hell, the glory shall be thine;
Inspire me to feled the choicest lies,
Spread ruin over all below the ikies :
Oppression in my bloody hand shall thrive,
Till it appears the greatest curfc to live.
But let some ample gift reward my toil,
May I share largely in my country's spoil;
Let Britain s church the Roman faith embrace,
And me a cardinals high honours grace.
Devil. When tyrant's swords shall drench the
sanguine plain,
When all the sons of virtue shall be slain,
Tories alone the ruin shall survive,
Who under our paternal care shall live ;•
1 o recompence your toil shall be.our care,
You largely in your country's spoil shall share ;
Then Britain s church shall to the Roman join,
Then be a cardinals high honours thine
So shall deftrudtion from our counsels flow,
And fwift perdition follow all below.

THE Beautiful half Englifo Horse FOX, the pro-
JL e perty ofLivi Allen.
This Horse was got by the famous English Fox
at Newport (Rhode-Ifland) and out of a Narragan-
Mare----this Horse is very little short of fifteen
hands high, compleat well made every way, car
ries his head and tail to admiration; his alertness
and adivity 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 feafem.
