FATHER AND SON; OR, DICK OUTWITTED.
REMOTE from splendour, liv'd of late, In humble, but in decent state, An honest Farmer, known to many, Well skill'd to save, and turn a penny.— His Wife, as frugal as himself, Increas'd their little store of wealth, And bless'd with children, pigs and geese, Nought could, it seem'd, disturb his peace.— But aged grown, the charms of life Had faded, with his blooming Wife, And much he wish'd, his latter days, To pass in ease, and prayer, and praise: And therefore told his favorite Dick, That he, of care and toil, was sick, As business almost cras'd his pate, He meant to give him the estate; Provided he would fully prove His gratitude and filial love, Support his parents, and engage To sooth the pillow of their age.— Dick thank'd his Sire; with grateful heart, He promis'd to perform his part, And him, with reverence obey, 'Till death should summon him away.— Now scenes of plenty and delight, Now open'd to his eager sight, Hope promis'd fair, that pleasure's rays Would gild the Evening of his days.— But anxious, he determin'd soon, Completely, to secure the boon.— Quoth Dick, 'tis folly to delay, We'll close the bargain, Sir, to day, And soon to Justice J——'s repair, Decrepit, you shall ride the Mare.— Well mounted new, the aged Don Rides slowly on, beside his son, Who, trudging merrily along, Regales his father with a song. Arriv'd at house of Justice, quick, The Sire dismounts, by help of Dick; His Honor found, they state the case, He hears them, with a sober face, And soon, with help of usual fee, Completes a Bond and Warrantee. Forms now comply'd with, business done To suit the Sire, as well as Son, 'They homeward jog; a certain pride Whisper'd to Dick, he ought to ride, 'Twas clownish thus, to trudge along, Depriv'd of all the gaping throng.— On which, with magisterial air, He bids his Father quit the Mare, Affirming, now the Farm was his, He'd do, in future, what he pleas'd.— Surpris'd, the Sire rebuk'd his son, Thus saucy and impertinent grown. But all in vain, Dick roundly swore He'd be his Father's slave no more. The Sire dismounts, and bobbles on. The Mare bears off the hopeful son, At length, the Father reaches home, Extremely lame and weary grown. When Night came on, by Evening fire, Dick met again his injur'd Sire, Who, quite good natur'd, told his son, There was a flaw in what was done, And had he took the slightest heed, He'd found an error in the Deed; The lately purchas'd turnip Lot, The Squire, I apprehend, forgot.— Go fetch the Deed, we'll now insert it, Assuredly, it cannot hurt it— Dick brings the Deed, the careful Sire Throws all the writings in the fire, Then turns to Dick, with cheerful air, Who now, my Son, will ride the Mare SIMON MCQUILLDRIVER.

PENNSYLVANIA.
On the 18th ult. the Legislature of Pennsylvania counted the votes given at the late general election for governor, in that state, —which are as follows:— Thomas M'Kean , —43,644— Simon Snyder —38,482—Majority for M'Kean,—5,162.—And on the day following, agreeably to the Constitution, his Excellency was inaugurated.
INAUGURAL SPEECH.
Friends, and Fellow Citizens,
The honor which our constituents have conferred, by my election, for a third period to the office of Governor, I accept with a grateful sense of their confidence and with an undiminished zeal for their service.
It is true, that some circumstances have occurred, in the course of the election, which I did not anticipate, as respected myself; but which more than on my own, I lament on account of the public. I did not anticipate that the close of a life sincerely devoted, as far as means and judgment, extend, to advance the liberty, independence and prosperity of my native country, would have been embittered by any imputation of a dereliction of principle, or any usurpation of power;—by artful combinations to impair the confidence of the people; or by groundless slanders to destroy an honest reputation. These however, are evils, in relation to the individual, of too little moment to attract your attention; but as they affect the great interests, political and social, of the community, you will regard them with an anxious eye.—If therefore in the course of a short retrospect, you should discover, that the press has been contaminated by the foulest pollutions; that political incendiaries, just landed on our shores, attempt to acquire, for sinister purposes, the mastery of
the passions and prejudices of the people; nay, that the influence of legislative names have been insidiously employed in the paltry practices of party;—I pray you, by all the force of precept, as, I know you will by all the weight of example, to resist and repel the danger, with which such proceedings threaten the fame, the honor and the tranquillity of the state.
The oaths, that have been just now administered, bind me to a co-operation in this, as well as in every other public duty resulting from the constitution and the laws. Accept then a renewal of my assurances of cheerful co-operation; for our interests, and that of our fellow-citizens, cannot be separated: And, although we may sometimes differ, in our opinion of the best means to attain the object, let us reciprocally believe, that still our object is the same; to obey and support the constitution and laws; and to promote the welfare and happiness of the people.
THOMAS M'KEAN. Lancaster, Dec. 17th, 1805.
CONGRESS.
From Washington, Dec. 13, 1805.
“On Wednesday, Mr. Bidwell from your State, (who I am confident, knows better than to have acted the part he has for several years been acting) offered a resolution, the substance of which was—to request the President to present a Sword to Gen. Eaton. The resolution was taken up yesterday; when Bidwell moved an amendment, viz, instead of a Sword , to present a Gold Medal with suitable devices. Clay, one of the Pennsylvanian Duanies, opposed the amendment. (I need not have mentioned this circumstance however, for Clay is of very little consequence, except to himself.) Mr. Elliot was in favor of the amendment:—spoke a few minutes with much propriety and some elegance. The men whom Eaton had with him on his expedition against Derne, were from all quarters—led on by an American—waving the banners of liberty over the ground where they had been unknown since the destruction of Cato and his little band at Utica: It was indeed a phenomenon. Great as were the services of Commodore Preble, and greatly meritorious they indeed were; he thought those of Gen. Eaton superior.—He considered him as the author of the peace with Tripoli.
“Smilie followed Elliot on the same side, as well as he could, and very well indeed too, for Smilie.—I do not, however, recollect any thing very striking in his remarks.
“Mr. QUINCY's remarks were short but pertinent, and handsomely delivered.—He concurred with his colleague (Bidwell); he considered the Sword as the proper reward of valor ;—but we were not intending merely to compliment Gen. Eaton on his valor.—This was a secondary consideration.—It was not his seeking the Ex-Bastaw; his collecting a little force; his marching through the desert of Barca, nor his taking the city of Derne, that composed his principal merit. —No, he had of his own accord, without solicitation, or order of Government, Magnanimously laid the plan of restoring the rightful monarch to the throne, and forcing a peace with the United States on our own terms.—The conception was that of a courageous, great and truly ennobled mind.—His military conduct was but under-machinery.—The presentation of a gold medal was more honorable than the Sword ; and he thought with his colleague, it were much more proper.
Mr. JACKSON (Vir.) moved a reference to a select committee, for the purpose of inquiring what Americans attended Gen. Eaton in this hazardous undertaking; and whether such were not worthy of some complimentary notice. His motion was was lost, 54 to 52.—Mr. Quincy moved an amendment; to insert the word Barca instead of Lybia — Lybia , was the antient name, but not now used, except by poets, and classical men: no modern geographers using it. Bidwell opposed the amendment; he said Gen. Eaton had himself used the word in one of his letters [which he might have done very properly]. The amendment was lost by a large majority. I could see no reason for this, but because the amendment was offered by Mr. Quincy; had it been offered by Mr. Nicholson, there would have been a large majority for it—True, it was not of much consequence; but, how would the preamble of a law found in this manner? “Whereas the cruisers of Gallia and Albion,” &c. which would be quite as proper: But, a majori-

By our present Congress do not know what is proper in all common cases; far less know they in cases where a mixture of literature is concerned. Had the resolution mentioned Baton's travelling through the Potomac District of District , many of the Virginian and Carolinian members would have voted for it, if their leaders told them they must.
When the committee of the whole rose, the motion was carried in the house for referring to a select Committee. Probably they will report early next week.
The business this day has been mostly of an uninteresting nature.
Mr. Gallatin sent in his Report, which was not read but will be printed.
A petition was presented from the magistrates of St. George's County, (Virg.) praying Congress to regulate the exact standing of weights.
Seaver presented the other day a petition from the inhabitants of Roxbury, praying that place may be made a port of entry.
The doors of the Senate have been closed several days.
It is impossible yet to ascertain what measures will be pursued relative to our foreign relations. I am rather inclined to think that we shall not have war with Spain; but that we shall put on the face of preparation; which will induce her to agree to our terms.
We are now the second commercial nation in the world; we must continue a commercial Nation; and while we so continue we must support our commerce by our strength; Why then should we not, even now, be preparing for our future greatness and prosperity, as our present advance? Our wealth, our resources, are great; are enormous now. We have a great and rapidly increasing revenue, and a landed fund worth six hundred millions of Dollars; that is, 3,000,000 acres this side the Mississippi, selling for from two to eight dollars per acre. The sales last year amounted to upwards of 4,000,000. And what is our debt? Deduct cash in the Treasury and Custom-house bonds form the total debt, and we owe but about 62 millions; and of this a part is in three per cent. stock—and the whole debt diminished by being exchanged for land.—And yet our wise ones have been trying to ruin us with their economy. By the President's Message I am glad to find that a proper spirit is waking. It is a stumbling block to many, but I trust Congress will have a majority who will do right."
Dec. 20. You may rely, the late successes of Bonaparte, in Germany, are not read here with so much joy as they once used to be, except by a few whom nature originally made incorrigible Jacobins; and who she had better not have attempted to amend.—If France should be as successful, as her recent successes promise, depend upon it, Spain will not only lose her teeth to us, as she has done, but she will try to bite. She is our natural enemy. She has exhausted treasury, and beggared her subjects, to supply the coffers of BONAPARTE; and in return she will require of him the retrocession of her favorite colony and barrier, Louisiana; and BONAPARTE, who is in the habit of parceling out empires, and colonies, will promise it to her; in trust for himself at some future day, no doubt; for he has told the Emperor of Austria, "he wants colonies." As soon as the European war is terminated, if terminated, if France triumphs, our troubles will commence:—Our southern limits will then be defined to be, the Mississippi;—great rivers are favorite boundaries with BONAPARTE; and his long sword is expert in demarcations:—Our acknowledged claims for spoliated property, will be laughed at, or adjourned sine die. But while the war continues, and the event remains uncertain, her policy will be to coax us with fair words, and to suspend for a time her ful actions. What is wisest and best for us to do, in this state of perplexity, puzzles the longest heads here. My poor opinion is, that we shall not go to war with any European power. There is not nerve enough here to risk the expedient, if it were necessary—which I much doubt.
As to our relations with Great-Britain, you may rest assured, however a few shallow-pated politicians in Congress may bluster, and call names, the majority of the administration and Congress are satisfied, that Britain does not wish to injure our lawful trade wantonly, and has no particular enmity towards us:—First the is imperiously compelled by the principal of self preservation to adopt measures, which though they operate injuriously to us, as on other neutrals, yet are intended only to injure her inveterate and implacable enemies. The Executive sees, that these measures are as rigidly executed on the Swedes, Danes, Prussians, and other powerful neutral flags, as on the Americans, and he has not yet learnt, that they have been made by them the cause of or of non-intercourse. I believe Britain to be on good terms with the
United States; and am as confident, as any one can be of a thing not reduced to absolute certainty, that Mr. Jefferson, and his real friends, will not recommend nor take any measures until they have tried, by honorable negotiation, to convince Great Britain, that her recent measures, are unwise, impolitic, as they respect the United States. However the British Ministry may consider her late measures, necessary , I think them highly impolitic; and that the United States ought to take dignified ground to affect their amelioration. To achieve this, nothing is wanting but an able negotiator at the Court of London—an American at heart—a Civilian and a Gentleman. From the above facts you may calculate, that no warlike measures will be adopted by Congress , Some preparations will be made; but great ones are not necessary, unless war should be determined upon. The foreign Ministers here know our strength, and the spirit of the people.—They know, and feel, that should Justice require the appeal to the Sword, that all party spirit would disappear; and every American would rally round his country's standard, however, in other times, they might be dissatisfied with the administration."
"What I have given as facts you may rely on. Misrepresentation never yet did good—"
"For TRUTH and right are one, And TRUTH dwells in them, and they in her, With like participation."
A letter from Washington, dated the 23d ult, says, "The Committee on that part of the President's Speech, relating to fortifications, &c. reported this day. They recommend the appropriation of 150,000 dollars for fortifying harbors; 250,000 dollars for building 30 gun-boats, and 600,000 dollars for building 6 line-of battle ships. The report was referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union."
"We abound here in Indians. Nine different nations are now represented in the city, and they speak three languages.—They yesterday waited on the President. Some of them have come 900 miles from beyond St. Louis, which is 1400 miles distant from this. You may imagine how savage they are."
NINTH CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION, AT WASHINGTON.
SENATE, Dec. 14—17.
Messrs. Tracy, Anderson, Worthington, Adams, and Wright, were chosen a committee to examine the act admitting Ohio as a state into the Union, &c.
A committee was appointed to inquire into the expediency of appropriating a further sum of money for the purchase of Maps and Books for the library.
Slave Trade. —Mr. Bradley, of Vermont, moved for leave to bring in a bill to prohibit the importation of slaves after the first day of January, 1808. The yeas and nays were—Yeas, Messrs. Anderson, Bradley, Condit, Fenner, Gilman, Howland, Kitchell, Logan, Maclay, Mitchell, Plummer, Smith of Md. Smith of Ten. Smith of Ver. Stone, Thurston, Worthington. Wright—18. Nays, Messrs. Adair, Adams, Baldwin, Gaillard, Jackson, Moore, Pickering, Sumner, Tracey—9.
The bill was introduced; and on the farther consideration of it, until the first Monday of December, which is tantamount to a rejection, the Senate was equally divided 14 and 14.—When the Vice-President decided the question in favor of postponement. We understand that in the course of discussion, it was allowed on all hands, that as soon as the time arrive when Congress shall possess the constitutional power of prohibiting the importation of slaves, it would be proper for them to exercise it. The opponents of the bill took two grounds, the one consisting in expediency of legislating on the subject before the year 1808, and the other in the alleged inconstitutionality of legislating until that period.
Mr. Logan gave notice that he should ask leave to-morrow (18th Dec) to bring in a bill to suspend the commercial intercourse between the U. States and the French Ill. and of St Domingo.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 18.
The bill for the relief of such persons as may have been disabled by known wounds, received in the service of the United States whether by serving in the militia as volunteers under some authorized officer, or in any regiment raised by any particular State, was read a second time, and passed to be engrossed.
THURSDAY, DEC. 19. On motion of Mr. Vane, it was voted that the act respecting the regulation of foreign coins, ought to be repealed.
A Committee was appointed to inquire into the act for fixing the salaries of the collectors of duties, &c.
The other business was of a local and uninteresting nature.

PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 23. The good Republicans, as they call themselves, of the Indiana Territory, have petitioned Congress to permit them to purchase and hold Slaves!
HIGHLY INTERESTING.
Extract of a letter from CHARLES MARTIN, Esq. Postmaster at Waterford, Erie county, to a gentleman in Lancaster, dated December 5, 1805.
"Judon and Isaac Farren, are just returned from Detroit. They bring bad news from that place—that the Indians are gathering in force, and threaten Detroit with a second conflagration. The people are in great alarm, and turning out to arms in every direction. If they had not come a way the day they did, they would have been enrolled in the militia next day. This I suppose is owing to the withdrawing of the troops, as there is now only part of a company of artillery there, under Capt. Dyson."
NEWYORK, DEC. 23. On Saturday the members of the "New-England Society" celebrated, for the first time, the landing of their Fathers, a Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1622. An elegant dinner was provided. General Stevens (in the absence of Mr. Walton) presided, assisted by Messrs. Winthrop, Hammond, and Col. Mansfield, as Vice Presidents. The Rev. Drs. Rodgers and Beach performed in a devout and very a proper manner the accustomed religious services of the table.—"More than 150 gentlemen of the Society, forgetting all differences of party and opinion, united to celebrate the occasion with an affectionate remembrance of their origin, and in the true spirit of the Society, the objects of which are friendship, charity, and mutual assistance ." The toasts were peculiarly appropriate, and were interspersed with many excellent songs; one of which was composed for the occasion by Mr. Fessenden, and set to the favorite tune of " Adams and Liberty ."

ARMY OF ITALY.
Head-Quarters at Vago, Oct. 30 year 14.
After the affair of the 29th, the army took up its position at Vago, two miles below Caldiero. On the 30th, at two in the afternoon, it attacked the enemy along the whole line. The division of Molitor, forming the left, began the action; that of General Gardane attacked the centre and that of General Duhesme the right. These different attacks were well executed and happily conducted. The village of Caldiero was carried amidst the cries of Long live the Emperor.
At half-past four Prince Charles gave orders for his reserve, consisting of 24 battalions of Grenadiers and several regiments, to advance. The action then became hotter. His Majesty's troops displayed their accustomed intrepidity; the cavalry made several charges, and every time with success; the battalions of the Grenadiers, of the reserve were engaged at the same time, and the bayonet decided the fate of the day. The enemy caused to play on us upwards of thirty pieces of artillery which ruled his entrenchments. But notwithstanding the obstinacy of his resistance he was put to the rout, and pursued to the foot of the redoubts beyond Caldiero.
We have taken 3,500 prisoners—the field of battle is strewed with Austrians; the number of their killed and wounded is at least equal to that of their prisoners. Prince Charles has asked for a truce in order to bury the dead.
Our loss is very inconsiderable in comparison to that of the enemy.
GRAND ARMY.
Munich, Oct. 25.
Every thing is in motion, our armies have crossed the Iser, and are marching towards the Inn, where Marshal Bernadotte on the one side, General Marmont on the other, and Marshal Davoust will be this evening.
Nuremberg, Oct. 27.
We have received letters from Prussia of the 20th. They are full of details relative to the proceedings of the Russians, who appeared for a moment on the borders of the Inn, and sent some detachments to the left bank of that river, but which they hastened to abandon on the first news of the arrival of the French and Bavarians.—We learn by the same letters, that Gen. Kutusow has made his army take a new position, in which he proposes, they say, to wait for the French. His line extends from the Inn, east upon the Danube along the right bank of the Inn to the mouth of the Saiza by Dietmengen and Lauffen as far as Subburch, Reichenhall and Barchstoffaden.—Gen.
Keimayer, who also commanded upon that point, has been replaced by General Meerfeldt.
OF PRUSSIA.
Wurtzburg, Oct. 30.
The Emperor of Russia not having been able to engage the King of Prussia to repair to Poland, has gone to see him at Berlin where he arrived on the 25th inst. The interview of this monarch with his P. M. will not produce the results which many persons expect from it. The Cabinet of Berlin, independently of the last proclamation published in the principality of Anspach, has clearly declared its intentions by the official declarations. In last note delivered to Mr. Laforet, Ambassador, to France, and to General Duroc, it is said "That H. M. will remain faithful to the principles which have hitherto directed his political conduct, and will be constantly animated by the desire of procuring to Europe, the advantages of peace, in concurring with all his power, by his mediation, to a happy conciliation of the differences which have kindled the flame of war." The motives of the military dispositions which have taken place, and of the assembling of several corps of the army are thus explained: "All these measures have no other end in view than to insure the neutrality and protect the territory of his Majesty."

French accounts, (via Newyork, are received to November 10th, 6 days later than before published; they give the details of more French Success.—Massena, commander of the French Army in Italy, has had an engagement with, and defeated the Austrians, under the command of Prince Charles.—The engagement was obstinately contested from 4 in the morning, till 6 in the evening.
At the last Paris dates, the head quarters of the French Grand Army under Bonaparte, were at Bramall, about 100 miles from Vienna.—It had been occupied by the Russians, under the command of Gen. Kutusow; but upon the approach of the French, retired toward Linz, for the purpose of forming a junction with Gen. Michelson, who commands another Russian Army, and which is accompanied by a reinforcement of Austrian Troops.
By the latest intelligence it appears, that but little reliance can be placed upon the co-operation of the King of Prussia, with the other powers against France.
The present, is a time of great events—the late operations of the English by sea, and the French by land, are the most complete and brilliant that Europe ever witnessed.
Bonaparte, with a rapidity unprecedented in the history of military exploits, has conducted an army across the Empire, attacked and defeated the advanced army of Austria, before the allies of that power could form a junction; and the last accounts still leave him the favorite of fortune and victory; followed by soldiers elate with conquest; thwarted in none of his plans by a separate interest or authority behind, he directs the energies of the French nation to one point, and conducts the present war in a manner that threatens the destruction of the German Empire.
No later Official accounts of the late Naval Battle have been received, than those communicated by Admiral Collingwood.
By the arrival of the ship Hare , at Newyork from Malaga, which place she left Nov. 4th, we learn the following particulars.—
The combined fleets, when they left Cadiz were composed of 33 ships of the line, 21 of which struck to English; and one blew up, 8 of those taken were wrecked near Cadiz, and the whole shore near that place was covered with pieces of wrecks and dead bodies of the latter, above 1000 have been seen, among them, the bodies of Admiral Magon, and capt. Villagis.
It was reported that 10,000 men were killed in the engagement.
It is said, Admiral Gravina, who commanded the Spanish fleet, died of his wounds, after he returned to Cadiz; that of the commanders of the English, French and Spanish fleets, two died of wounds received in the action, and the other is a prisoner to the English.
Thirteen ships of the British fleet, which were most disabled, were ordered to Gibraltar, to rest.
But four of the captured ships had got in to English ports.
The blockade of Cadiz, is continued by Ad. Collingwood.
Bremen.—From accounts kept by the Surveyors of Lumber in this town, the year past, it appears, that there has been brought in by land, and surveyed for exportation, 16,000,000 feet; and it is calculated that an equal quantity, has been brought by water, which was surveyed out of town, making the whole quantity which has been shipped from this port in one year, thirty-two millions.

A motion to lay Governor McKean's inaugural speech on the table, has been negatived in the Senate of Pennsylvania 13 to 12! So they go!
Appointment by authority. —Joseph Warner Role, of Antigua, is appointed Commercial Agent for the United States at that, and the adjacent English Islands.
British Navy. On the first November, the British had Seven Hundred and Sixteen ships of war in commission—of which 131 were of the line, 22 fifty gun ships, 139 frigates, and 424 sloops of war &c.
Paris, Sept. 25. —Not to alarm his subjects and allies by the reports of frequent conspiracies, Bonaparte has ordered the trials and executions of all implicated persons to be secret. Hence we have no more of the late plot than we heard of the conspiracy at Milan last May. One thing is however certain, that the pretended conspirators were not connected with any foreign powers, but domestic rivals or disaffected subjects. Several Generals are still mentioned as indirectly suspected or accused. You have undoubtedly read that Jourdan has been deprived of his command in Italy, and succeeded by Massena, Macdonald sent for his health to Bareuge, and Lecourbe exiled to his estate near Mons Saunier in Franche Comte.

DENTIST—from Boston,
Respectfully informs the Inhabitants of Portland, and its vicinity, that he will continue the safe and salutary practice of his profession a few days, either at Mrs. CARLISLE's, Fore Street; or at their new house. The loss of Teeth, supplied from a single one to a whole set, in the most easy and natural manner—Teeth are cleaned, and rendered white and beautiful if ever so foul or discolored, without the least pain or injury—Loose Teeth are fastened, the relaxed Gums braced and made firm—Decayed Teeth are eased and preserved from further decay—troublesome roots are extracted, and every operation performed with the greatest ease and safety. Regularly educated to the profession in London; and having practised in the first cities in the world, with the approbation of the greatest medical characters, for more than twenty years, must prove his peculiar mode of practice to be infinitely superior to every other. Intending to visit Portland annually, and impressed with a desire to render himself useful as well ornamental; with a readiness to rectify gratis in future, any inconveniences (even to the making of new sets of Teeth) that fairly can be imputed to him—confidently relies his expectations of practice on the liberality of the public, and fairness of his proposals, success and usefulness of his operations on services rendered.

Dr. Mackay's Navigator.
THOMAS CLARK, Bookseller,
Portland, Maine.....Will shortly publish an improved edition of Dr. MACKAY'S COMPLETE NAVIGATOR, intitled, "The American Complete Navigator, and Seaman's Daily Assistant; being an easy and familiar guide to the Theory and Practice of Navigation; containing all the necessary Tables and Rules, with demonstrations, and illustrated with several appropriate Engravings;—being an improved edition of the Complete Navigator, published by ANDREW MACKAY, L. L. D. F. R. S. Ed. &c.—at London, A. D. 1804—revised, corrected, and considerably enlarged, by several gentlemen of information, and particularly adapted for the use of American Seamen."
In Dr. Mackay's work, some hundreds of errors are detected, in all the treatises on navigation extant. The work in the press is passing through a complete revision by several gentlemen, who will examine every part of it, and more especially the tables, which are more numerous and extensive than can be found in any work upon the subject: And the publisher flatters himself that it will issue from the press without a single error.
As the most approved publication upon the theory and practice of Navigation (except Dr. Mackay's) contains a great number of mistakes (particularly in the tables) which might prove fatal to the mariner, it is confidently believed, that the treatise now offered to public patronage, will supersede every other work of the kind. Dec. 30, 1805.

Medical Education.
BY a Law of this Commonwealth, passed in 1789, it is enacted, "that it shall be the duty of the Massachusetts Medical Society, in order more effectually to answer the designs of this institution, from time to time to describe and point out, such a medical instruction, or education, as they shall judge requisite for candidates for the practice of Phyic and Surgery, previous to their examination before them, or their officers appointed for said purpose, respecting their skill in their profession."
And, at a meeting of the Councillors of the said Society, on the third day of October 1805, the undersigned, having been appointed a Committee, to select and publish a list of Books necessary to be read, by all students who shall hereafter offer themselves for examination before the Censors of said Society, we do accordingly, declare the perusal of the following Authors in the various branches of Medical Science, to be requisite for all such candidates; who are requested to govern themselves accordingly:—
In Anatomy and Physiology.
Cheselden's Anatomy—Winlow's Anatomy—Haller's Physiology—Boerhaave's Academic Lectures.
In Chymistry and Materia Medica.
Chapman's Chymistry—Lewis' Materia Medica—Edinburgh New Dispensatory.
In Surgery.
Benjamin Bell's Surgery—Benjamin Bell on Ulcers—Pott's Works.
In Pathology and Therapeutics.
Cullen's Nosology—Cullen's First Lines—Brown's Elements—Fordyce's Practice of Phyic—Huxham's Works—Sydenham's do.—Whitt's do.—Macbride's Experimental Essays—Underwood on Diseases of Children.
In Midwifery.
Smellie's Midwifery—Denman's Midwifery—White on Women.
And the Committee, fully impressed with the importance of a more extensive course of reading, than the above prescribed; at the same time duly sensible of the difficulties attending it, from the deficiencies of the most of the Medical Libraries in the state, do nevertheless, most earnestly recommend to all such students, as can procure them, the perusal of the following Books before entering upon the practice of their profession:—
 Douglas on the Mufcles—Monro on the Bones—Edinburgh System of Anatomy—John and Charles Bell's Anatomy—Shelden's History of the Absorbents—Hewson on the Blood and Lymphatics—Blumenbach's Physiology—Fordyce on Digestion—Fourcroy's Chymistry—Hunter on the Blood, Gun-shot Wounds, &c.—Van Swieten's Commentaries—Pringle on the diseases of the Army—Saunders on the Liver—Jackson on Fevers—Endemnic and Contagious—Home's Principia Medicinae. 
Candidates will also do well to remember, that in addition to the requisition respecting Books, the laws of the Society require, that satisfactory certificates be produced, of their having studied three full years under the direction, and attended the practice of some reputable Physician, and of their acquaintance with the Greek and Latin Languages, and with the principles of Geometry, and Natural Philosophy—and that an University Education, and an attendance on Medical Lectures in some University, are strongly recommended to all designed for the Medical Profession.
