London, July 13th, 1796. f
-—0
At a meeting of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences, bidden in Soften,
May 29th, A. D. 1798.
WHEREAS Benjamin Count Rumford,of Mu
nich in Bavaria, has presented to this Institution
the sum of Five Tboufand Dollars, in the three
per cent. Stock of the United States, the inter,
est of which, by the terms of the donation, aS
expressed in his letter of July 13, *796, to the
President of the Academy, Is to be “ applied &
given, once every second year as a premium to
the author of the most important discovery, or
improvement, which flhall be made and publifh
cd by printing, or in any way made known to
the public, in any part of the continent of A
merica, or in any of the American Iftands, dur
ing the preceeding two years, on HEAT or on
LIGHT ;" which donation has been accepted
by the Academy, and by proper certificates,
which accident only has delayed, has now be
come the property of the Academy.
Voted, That the thanks of the Academy be
presented to Count Rumford, for this his very
generous donation ; that they experience the
highest fatisfadlion, in receiving additional and
toy liberal aid, for the encouragement and
extension of those branches of Science, which &
has so fuccefsfully cultivated ; that they enter
tain a high fenfa of the sentiments and views so
becoming p philosopher, which hive prompted
him to this diftinguilhed a& of liberality and in
the execution of the grateful office, which they
have undertaken, of awarding ,nd distributing
the premiums, which Count Rumford has thus
appropriated, they will faeredly comply with
the conditions of the donation, indulging a hope
that he will meet his reward in learning, that
many of his native country are thereby excited
to emulate his labours, and to promote the ac
cempldhmeot of hie bfltfmt wishes forth&
SIR,
DESIROUS of contributing efficaciously to
the advancement of Science, which has
.long employed my attention, and which appears
to me to be of the highest importance to mankind,
and wishing, at t%e fame time, to leave a lading
testimony of my refpea for the American Acade
my of Arts and Sciences, I take the liberty to re
quest that the Academy would do me the honor
to accept Five Thousand Dollars three per cent.
Stock in the funds of the United States of North
America, which Stock I have actually purcbaf
ed, and which 1 beg leave to transfer to the
Fellows of the Acadertiy, to the end that' the
itrtereft of the fame may be by them and their
successors received from time to time, forever,
and the amount of the fame applied and given,
once every second year, as a premium to the
author of the most important difeovery or use
ful improvement, which (hall be mdde & pub
lished by printing, or in any way made known
to the public, in any part of the continent of
America, or in any of the American Inlands,
during the preceding two years, on HEAT or
on LIGHT, the preference being given to fitch
difeoveries as (hail, in the opinion of the Acade
my tend most to promote the good of mankind.
With regard to the formalities to be observ
ed by the Academy, in their decisions upon the
comparative merit of thofc difeoveries, which
in the opinion of the Academy may entitle their
authors td be considered as competitors for this
biennial premium, the Academy will be pleased
to adopt such regulations as they, io their wis
dom, may judge to be proper and necessary:
But in regard to the form in which this premi
um is conferred, I take the liberty to request,
that it may always be given in two Medals,
to be Oruck in the fame d,e,the one of Gold, and
the other of Silver, and of such dimeptions, that
both of them together may be just equal in in
trinsic value to the amount of the intcreft of
the aforefaid five thousand dollars Stock, during
two years ; that is to fay, that they may to
gether be of the value of three hundred dollars.
The Academy will be pleased to order such
device or inscription to be cograved on the dye,
they ffiall cause to be prepared for (hiking these
Medals, as they may judge proper.
If, during an, term of two years, reckoning
from the lad adjudication, or from the la ft peri
od for the adjudication of this premium by the
Academy, no new difeovery or improvement
Should be made in any part of America relative
to either of the fubjeds in question (Heat or
Light) which, in the opinion of the Academy,
(hall be of Sufficient importance to deserve this
premium, in that case, it is my desire that the
premium may net be given, but that the value
of it may be received, and being laid out in the
purchase of additional Stock in the American
funds, may be employed to augment the capital
of this premium ; and that the intcreft of the
fame, by which the capital may froth time to
time be so augmented, may regularly be given
in money, with the two Medals, and ns,n ad
dition to the original premium, at each Succeed
ing adjudication of it. And it is further my
particular, request, that those additions to the
value of the premium, atifing from its occasion
al non-adjudication, may be fiiffered to increase
without limitation

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THIRTEENTH YEAR.
It will not be strange should we hear
the farmer dividing his Rock into
" feds," and when the swine deal from
the cattle, or the poultry from the
swine, talking ofa " monopoly." Or
to hear the maker threatening his ser
vants with " prompt correctives ; and
when he chastises one of them for a
fault, exclaiming, Sirrah ! "I will cor
rect the procedure."
Methinks I fee one of the newly §
made justices in this state, beginning a
letter of thanks with " How ffiall I ex
press m, grateful thanks, for the favour
^ith which ,ou have been ,leafed to look to
wards me." When complimenting two
members of the Council, he calls them
" the world's best hope."
An old man who is about to enter
into the bands of matrimony with a
young girl, and his friends remonkrat
ing on the impropriety of such a con
duct, will naturally reply, " I shrink
from the contemplation, and humble
myfeif before the magnitude of the un
dertaking/' But I " should be tried
without being prejudged."
The determination of Mr. JefferfoQ
that Samuel Bithop is the successor of
David Auftirf, deceased, and that Eli
zur Goodrich " placed hircfelf in of
fice," because he was appointed in the
lak moments of Mr. Adams' adminis
tration," may be supposed to influence
some judicial proceedings. We may
imagine without being deemed extrav
agant, the following cases : Two men
paid their addresses to a rich widow in
their neighbourhood. One of them
obtains her consent and is joined to her
in marriage. The other continues big
attachment, and is not willing to relink
quifh his pretentions. He makes ap
plication to a Justice lately appointed
by the Council of this State td fee
whether some redress was not practica
ble.—The Justice informed him, that
in his reading, which was but fmall,he
did not know apy case in the books by
which he could give him relief ; that
he had heardoforie Godwin inEngland
who proved that marriage as it is prac
tised, is an intolerable monopoly ; and
that he remembered to have heard
that " our Franklin, the ornament of
human nature," took Deborah to his
bed without any ceremony of marriage.
" I just now, however, recoiled," laid
he, "that the ehfe dated by the Prefi,
dent in his reply to the merchants of
New Haven, and his decision thereon,
is exactly suited to yours. This man
who claims the widow, is of a different
"fed" from us. The priest married
him in his" last moments'' before bed
time ; and this would-be husband be
gan bis " career" though he "had
never been 'approved" by us. lam
therefore clearly of opinion, that "he
placed himfelf' in this station ; that
foitf $ tepre," cannot be calk
Public notice it hereby given, That the Academy,
at their meeting in Be,art, on the Tuefday next pro
ceeding the If! Wednesday in May next, and after
tuards biennially, at their May meeting, trill decide
on the difeovery or improvement, which may appear
to be entitled to tbe premium directed to be given by
Count Rumford, according to tbe terras of Lie donation

W HEN we consider the influence
which those high in office have upon
the taste and manners of the people, it
may reasonably be expected, that not
only the writers in this country will
imitate the stile of Mr. Jefferfon, but
that his phrases or modes of expression
will become familiar among all elaffes.
A boy who, being Wronger than his
play fellow, forces from him his ball or
his marbles, will be said to “ feel pow
er and forget right." What is impos
sible for man to know or explain, will
be said to be " beyond the reach of
mortal eye." To fettle a quarrel will
be called “restoring to social in.c course
harmony and affection.” He who is
transported with anger will be called an
“ infuriated man." That which is
commended as being highly desirable,
will be said to be in " the circle of our
felicities" If a man is in danger of fall
ing, by losing the centre of his gravity,
he will express it by his having an
" anti-republican tendency.
