Messrs. PRINTERS,
THE Public were lately informed of the
generous donation of the late Dodor Da
niel Lothrop, of Norwich, to Yale College.
As this Viewed him to be a friend to literature
it does great honor to his memory, and it is to
be wished that his worthy example might pro
voke many to a laudable imitation; Perhaps
no literary institution on the continent is more
deserving of the charitable attention of the pub
lic than that, or more in need ofit, as its finan
ces' are low, owing partly to the late fluctuating
state of our pecuniary medium. It stands in
great need of several profeffors, which cannot
be had for want of a fund to support them.
However, it is to be hoped that this difficulty
may be removed ere long, by the generous do
nations of many, whom God has blefled with
affluent fortunes. Several profefforfhips in
Harvard College hate been supported by private
donations, expressly appropriated to that parti
cular purpose, and they have taken part of their
denominations from their generous founders.
This will be a more lading memorial, than if
their names were engraved on pillars of brass or
marble, and it may be expected that generations
yet unborn will rife up and call them blefled.
From one who profefles to be a friend to
Literature, but has no personal con
nexions with Yale College.
