To the application of the profits of former lotteries,
many who were periling for want most probably owe

the desire of each adventurer to contribute a proportion
to the common charity, and to each of these the blcffings
of the fatherlefs and the widow are due.
A fund to provide against future wants is an object
which every person of humanity must wish to fee esta
blished, and adthis is the design of the present lottery,
'tis hoped that the fame liberality will be exerted for its
completion as has been experienced on former occasions.
Tickets to be had of the former managers, and of ttie
several Printers.
The profits arising from this Lottery, will be paid into
the hands of the Treasurer of the Vestry of the poor.
