MR. HILLS returns his most sincere thanks to
those gentlemen that did him the honour to
call and point out the errors that he was making in
his map of the state of New-Jersey, and he is very
sorry he was not at home, and hopes they will excuse
him, for he was busily employed in surveying the city
of Perth-Amboy, and its environs. As he has re
turned, he shall esteem it as a particular favour if
gentlemen will call on him as they travel thro' Prince
ton, to point out any more errors, or can any way
give him any information : And I do aflure the pub
lick, that it will be shortly finifhed, and I hope it will
meet with general approbation.
Landed estates surveyed, planned or estimated, with
the fpecifick valuation of parks, feats, farms, or any
parcel of land, &c. either for letting, sale or purchase,
and all boundary lines run and fettled, though ever so
mountainous, marshy, or the bowels of the earth full
of iron ore.
Plans of estates and houses neatly drawn or copied,
by application or letter, post paid, directed to him at
the Poft-Office, Princeton, in the state of New-Jet
fey; or at No. 201, Water-street, New-York.
Princeton, December 10, 1784.
To be Sold, by the Subfeh^r,
THE house in which he now lives, with the spaci
ous lot whereon it stands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
stand for business as any in the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-street, adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors, in poffeßfon of William
Nevius; the lot is in front on the Rreet 75 feet, and
extending the fame breadth about 175 feet, with a wa
ter lot in front of the wiiole, as advaritageoufly situ
ated, and as capable of improvement, as any lot on
the river :—A number of lots and water lots lying on
Water-street and the river Raritan, between Doctor
Cochran's house and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Albany-street, New-street, and other fireets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Brunswick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for an inland trade, than any town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-York, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan ; dittant from the former
about 60 miles, one half of which is water carriage;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. The Rage-waggons from both these cities
pass through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and vessels of very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords daily supplies of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey: No place can be
better situated for storekeepers, mechanicks or manu
facturers, .as tradesmen of all kinds may find constant
employ, and fend or carry their manufa&ures either
to New-York or Philadelphia, at very little expence.
So fine a situation is really an objeft for a company of
honest Germans, whole industry the proprietor wishes
so much to encourage, that if their families wif Be
come citizens by purchase, he will give them a p ?r
lot to build a church on, and a convenient lot 0 ur
or five acres for a parsonage. This place is li rife
distant, by land or water, about 12 miles from the city
of PERTH-AMBOY, situated at the mouth of the
river Raritan, lately made a free port, and endowed
by charter with privileges, and by nature with advan
tages, that cannot but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this Rate. A number of lots and
water lots are likewise to be fold there. Those that
incline to purchase, may know the terms and conditi
ons of sale, by applying to
