and formed tliemkives into ^ Society, under the
oqme of tne Mount Sion Society. Ibey had made
a considerable progress in the undertaking, and had
eflabhfhed a very flomiffiing and profiting school
at UVinnfboreugh—But this, like many other Seats
of the Muses, fell a prey to the undikingukhed fury
of a licentious soldiery in the late war. the Society
have relumed their commendable design; but find
ing their own resources wholly inadequate thereto,
they are conkraihed to fojicit the benetd&ions ofa
generous public, to affill them therein.
The only objection which has been ever urged,
with the lead degree of plaulibility, agaik cKabliih
log Seminaries of Learning for the completion of
education in this State, has been the unfriendliness
of the climate to study. This obje&on, since the
extension of our settlements into our back country,
has been fully removed; for there we find a tem
perature of climate, and a IJubrity of air, as fa
vorable to fludy, as perhaps any part of the conti
nent affords. In these refpecls the village of
Vv mnfborough will be found to yiend to no part of
this State. Add to this, that faulted as it is, at
the equal diHance of twenty miles from the rich and
plentiful [beams of the Wateree and Congaree Ri
ve's, there is no tpot in this State which is more
capable of affording all kinds of necessary fupplK:s.
A Gentleman educated at New-jerky College,
who is eminently distinguished for his literaiy and
moral accomplifliments, and from whom the mast
elevated and flattering expirations may be formed,
has been lately appointed by the Society to take
charge of the Academy. With all these advantages
in its favor, may not the hope be reasonably in
dulged, that no further arguments are necessary to
engage the exertions of the Libual and Patriotic in
its behalf ?
A Subfeription Paper r cr encouraging the above
laudable design will be placed in the hands of Doc
tor fucker Harris, President of the Society, at
No. 147, King-fireet; and others will be carried
about by a number cf Gentlemen appointed for that
purpose.
for the greater ease and convenience of fubferi
bers, the money fubferibed will be made payable
by inftdiments as follows, (viz ) one third in four
months—another third in fix months—and the re
maining third in eight months from the time of
fubicribing. RICHARD HUTSON,
Chairman of a Committee of the
Mount Sion Society.
Philadelphia, June 12,
Extras of a letter from a Gentleman in London, to
his Friend in this City, dated March 25, 1784.
" PROBABLY you may exped a little political
A information. lam sorry in the extreme to
acquaint you, as matters appear to me, that this so
hitherto uniieifally admired constitution approach
es precipitately to its annihilation. The King,
illegally, by his influence, prevented Mr. Fox's
East-India bill puffing the Iloufe of Lords. The
Commons, tenacious of their privilege, took fire
thereat. His Majesty (or what shall 1 call him)
immediately dismissed his ministry, and forced
another on them, who had not their confidence.
They repeatedly addressed the Crown for abroad
and efficient adminikration, and one that had their
confidence. He refufed their constitutional request,
in a manner that can only be equalled by the
insolence of the minister of the moment, Mr. Pitt;
and this day, notwithstanding the urgency of
public business, and the tottering state of public
credit, there being more than thirty millions un
funded, the Parliament of Great-Britain was dis
solved, in hopes that a more subservient one will
be chosen. Should that be the case, our govern
in^ntwill be immediately changed to a monarchy
in encH, tho' the appearance may be preserved.
If otherwise, (as the King has the virtue of perse
verance in a most wonderful degree) a civil war.
I think, muff inevitably take place. 'As I have a
horrid dislike to either, have prepared a sum of
money to support myfelf and family in some other
part of the world. I wish Philadelphia was not
so remote—a spot and people I prefer to all others,
except my own country on its foil terms. The
people at large are perfedly ignorant of the prefect
depute. They conceive it to be between Fox and
I itt, for power;—wnen the real contest is neither
more or lels, than the Crown againk the Constitu
tion. Ihe people, from their ignorance of the
fubjecl, axe nine cut of ten for the King, and a great
many addreSes have been [.relented to the throne,
thanking him for the late dYmikion of his Mi
pilfers: But when theireyes are open (and I think
it will not be long before they,are) a certain Gen
tleman muk^lter his conduct, or lie y ill be oblig
ed to retire to a certain part on the,continent of
Europe, a: d finifh a notched 1 fe. which had it
never been called h to vKfteme had been happy

To the PUBLIC.
THE ^y, of MAGAZINES, as repositories
ol knowledge, and the happy means of cir
culating among all orders of society, the benefits
wnich accrue from the cultivation of the human
' mine, has induced a society of gentlemen, to offer
tne following propofols for preparing and printing,
on tne firft Monday of every month, a periodical
publication, under the title of
The American LYC/EUM,
O R
UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE,
O F
Knowledge and Pleasure.
. if. Ihat each Magazine shall contain forty paces
in oflavo; to be printed on a fine paper, with a good
type, and delivered to the fabfcribers in this city on the
day of publication.
2d. If adequate encouragement is given to this
work, the editors purpife to embellish it with maps,
biographic portraits, and other descriptive copper-plates.
3d. That tne Magazine shall be feat, for fubferi
bers, not refiling in Philadelphia, to any convenient
place they may dirett.
1 qta. That the price of fubfeription be Three
Dollars per annum; One Dollar and an Half, to be
advanced atihe time of falser wing, and the remainder
at the end of fix months. 1
sth. Any gentleman fabferibing for twelve maga
zines, for hunfclf or neighbour, Jhall be entitled to
thirteen.
6th. Good allowance will be made to thfe who buy
to fell again.
In an undertaking upon so extensive and so
liberal a plan, the editors, aware of the difficulties
which attend it, cannot but be solicitous for the
afliftance of every friend to polite and philosophic
literature: Incy have therefore opened a reservoir
for the reception of the gratuitous aids of men of
genius and leisure: whole contributions will be
received with thanks, and attended to with punctu
ality. It may be necessary, however, to premise,
that the editors are determined to preserve their
publications uncontaminated by tlie feuds and dor
mas of party: Ihoughiuch political disquisitions
as are mfpired by the amor patric, and tend to the
improvement and happiness of society, will ever
be received with dikinguifhed refpe&.
The intention of the editors being directed im
mediately to the advancement of knowledge, upon
a J""-, moial. and clear foundation, if, in the pro
gress of their work, the fallibility of human nature
Inould appear, a friendly admonition will, at all
times, meet their sincere acknowledgment: But,
they now beg to have it understood, that no pro
vocation shall ever induce them to degrade a Ma
gazine, ekabblhed upon such principles, into tlre
contemptible vehicle of vague and unprofitable
controversy.
It is hoped, that an early and liberal fubfeription
will enable the editors to compleat their plan, and
to deliver the firft Number of the Magazine (which
is ready for the press) on the firft Monday in June.
