On the ART of PRINTING.
FAIR Wisdom long had lain immur'd in night,
Or, flied a partial, feeble, glimm'ring light ;
In schools and colleges it shot a ray,
While all the world beside in darkness lay.
The noble writings of the Bard and Sage,
Form'd to inftruft and charm an ign'rant age,
Were, like some stream, confin'd to one poor place,
Which, like the sea, Should bless the human race;
Copies were then tranferib'd, and rated high,
Science and Wit were scarce, for few could buy.
At length arose the ufeful TYPICK ART,
To cultivate the manners, head and heart,
To shoot, like Sol's bright beams, from pole to pole,
And pour its luftre on the darken'd foul.
In happy times, like these, when all are free
To eat fair fruit from Wisdom's sacred tree,
To drink deep draughts of Science from her streams,
Gain Virtue's prize, or cherilh folly's dreams;
How weak, how mad, the latter to prefer,
And turn to Vice a rank Idolater !
In Learning's temples, where her flags are plac'd,
Like burnifh'd arms in arsenals, with take ;
Where the collective wisdom of all times,
Like the fun's rays, within a focus shines;
Where sacred penmen move the harden'd heart,
And claffick writers hurl Wit's pointed dart;
The human mind to Wisdom's hill may rife,
Spurn the dull earth, and soar above the ikies,
Deduce great truths, view Nature's myftick plan,
And learn the wond'rous ways of Ged to man.
These heart-felt bleflings to the Press we owe,
And which its offspring, books, to all bestow.
If white-rob'd Wisdom then, so kind and fair,
And meek-ey'd Virtue deign to alk our care,
Let's gain their smiles, and live upon their looks,
Hate Vice and Folly, and peruse good books !
TO BE LE T,

A Houfe, lots and tan-yard, barn and ftablo, situ
ate at the Blackhorfe, in Mansfield townlhip,

The situation of said Academy is peculiarly eligible,
being in a pleasant healthy part of rhe country, on
the pnblick stage-road, near midway between New-
York and Philadelphia, where the stages pass twice
every week from the above places, so that those who
choose to fend their children from either of the cities
may have frequent, and rhe most convenient and fafe
conveyances. Said Academy is distant twenty-seven
miles from New-Brunswick —fifteen from Princeton—
twelve from Trenton—eight from Bordentown —and
eighteen from Burlington.
Good board and lodgings may be had at conveni
ent houses near the Academy, and at very reasonable
rates.
The Rev. Mr. Clark, who resides in Allentown,
has agreed to infpe& the business of the Academy;
and, besides other occasional visits, will, with ths
Trustees, attend regularly at the examinations, once
every quarter, to judge of and encourage the improve
