ACADEMY, Little-Queen-street, No. 19, between Nassau and Smith-streets. MR. GRAHAM finding that most of his employers wish to have their children taught English along with their writing, accounts, &c. and being conscious that he cannot do justice to his scholars while his mind is distracted by teaching at once, a multiplicity of branches of education; proposes, in compliance with the wishes of his friends, on the first of May next, to open an Academy, for teaching English, Writing, Arithmetic, Book-Keeping and Geography, in a large well aired house, built for the purpose.
The English language will be taught grammatically, and the strictest attention paid to proper elocution, by Mr. Johnson, a young gentleman lately from England, who has been for some years in the practice of teaching. Mr. Johnson has been examined by several gentlemen of learning and taste in this city, and is warmly recommended by them as well qualified for the charge: And it is hoped, that, by devoting his whole time to the English scholars, he will soon render them expert, not only in reading, speaking, spelling, passing and construing, but also in composing letters and other pieces.
Mr. Graham will continue as usual, to teach writing in all its various hands, arithmetic, book-keeping and geography; and he flatters himself, that, by bestowing all his attention on these branches, his pupils will make more proficiency than they have hitherto done.
It is proposed to take a few young ladies betwixt the hours of eleven and one, for writing, accounts, English grammar and geography.
N. B. A pair of globes and a general atlas will be provided for the use of the academy as soon as possible. Mr. Graham returns his most sincere thanks to those gentlemen, who have already honored him with their employment, and humbly begs the continuance of their friendship and patronage.
Any card or message sent to the academy, will be carefully attended to; where the terms of teaching may be known. 87
THE SUBSCRIBERS take this method to inform their friends and the public in general, that they have provided themselves with an elegant STAGE COACH , hung upon steel springs, with a capital pair of horses and a careful driver, which will set off from Mr. Waldo's, at Brooklyn-ferry, on Monday the 9th inst. precisely at half past 8 o'clock in the morning for Mr. Bardin's in Jamaica, and will start from there precisely at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, for Mr. Waldo's, at Brooklyn-ferry, for the trifling sum of two shillings and six pence for each passenger, (those who may have letters to send by the stage will be pleased to leave them at the stage house, and they will be attended to if two pence for each letter is left with them). Gentlemen and ladies who will be pleased to favor them with their custom, may depend that their utmost endeavors will be exerted to render their situation agreeable.
The stage will continue to run every day in the week.
They likewise beg leave to inform the public, that they continue their shop at the upper end of Brooklyn ferry, where they carry on the coach and chair making business in all its various branches; they flatter themselves that their work, in point of elegance and firmness, is equal to any in this country, and will engage to serve those gentlemen who may favour them with their commands, in the most expeditious manner and on the most favorable terms.

Laws of the State of New-York.
An Act that the solemn Affirmation and Declaration of the People called Quakers, shall be accepted instead of an oath. Passed the 19th of Feb. 1787.
BE it enacted by the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, and and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That every Quaker who shall be required, upon any lawful occasion, to take an oath, in any case where by law an oath is required, shall, instead of the usual form, be permitted to make his or her solemn affirmation or declaration in the words following, to wit; "I _____ do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm." Which solemn affirmation or declaration shall be adjudged and taken, and is hereby enacted and declared, to be of the same force and effect, to all intents and purposes, in all Courts of Justice, and other places where by law an oath is required, as if such Quaker had taken an oath in the usual form.
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in all cases wherein by any act or acts of the Legislature of this State, now in force, or hereafter to be made, an oath is or shall be allowed, authorised, directed or required, the solemn affirmation or declaration in the form above described, of any of the people who shall be a member of the religious society of the people called Quakers, or shall usually associate with the people called Quakers, in their religious worship, or be generally reputed to be a Quaker, shall be allowed and taken instead of such oath, although no particular or express provision be made for that purpose, in such act or acts: And all persons who are or shall be authorised or required to administer such oath, shall be, and hereby are authorised and required to administer the said affirmation or declaration.

Provided always,
And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no Quaker, or reputed Quaker, shall by virtue of this act, be compelled to serve on any juries in criminal cases, nor to act as an assessor or collector, any thing in this act to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Origin and Properties of the Cap of Liberty.
THE ancient Romans generally went with their heads bare, or in rain or cold weather covered them with the corners of their toga, or robe. Cæsar, their first Emperor, having a bald head, covered it with laurels. Indeed, the ancients, when either old or infirm, indulged themselves with wearing a cap. As age was then honorable, so caps became marks of honor. As none could be then deemed honorable who were not free, the cap, by degrees, became the badge of freedom; and when a slave was made a free man, he had a cap given to him, which he was permitted to wear in public.
The Pileus, or Cap of Liberty, is quite simple in its form, common in its texture, and of a whitish colour. It is in the form of a sugar loaf, broad at the bottom, ending like a cone. This prefigures that freedom stands on the broad basis of humanity; and it runs up to a pyramid, the emblem of eternity, to shew it ought to last for ever. It is, in itself, the most shining ornament of man. It hath no gilded trappings, which too often mark the livery of despotism. It is made of wool, to signify that Liberty is the birth-right of the shepherd, as well as of the senator; and that although shepherds may lawfully shear the sheep they protect, they ought not to skin them, that being the employment of the butcher. Lastly, the Cap of Liberty is whitish, the native colour of the wool is undyed. This demonstrates that it should be natural without receiving dyes, unspotted by faction and untainted by tyranny.
An ancient Anecdote.
AUGUSTUS CÆSAR was seated one day on his tribunal, judging the causes of those unfortunate Romans who had been arraigned for having borne arms under Brutus and Cassius, in defence of liberty: Some of them he had already condemned, and there was little doubt what would have become of the rest; when Mæcenas, whether by accident or design, dropped into Court. It was extremely crowded, and quite impossible to approach the tribunal. He therefore took his tablets, wrote a sentence on them, and desired it to be handed to the Judge.—Augustus opened, and read this short sentence—
"Surge jam tandem carnifex!"
Executioner, it is time to rise. Augustus was struck—instantly deserted the tribunal, and the arraigned were acquitted to a man.—Such was the method which this Minister employed to humanize his Prince; and this adventure places the Prince and Minister in a very advantageous light.—How few minions of a court would have the courage to thus shock their master into justice? And how few Princes, inured to fawning and unmanly submission from their servants, would have borne it?
FOREIGN ADVERTISEMENTS.
L O N D O N, Feb. 3. His Majesty greatly diverts himself with the appellation bestowed on him, of Farmer George. At dinner, at Neunham, the seat of Lord Harcourt, he related an incident in the neighbourhood of Windsor. Walking out early in the morning, he met a
fellow driving a flock of very fine sheep. His Majesty, struck with their appearance, asked him if they were to be sold. "No" (said the fellow cheerfully). "Where are you going with them?"—"To Farmer George's" (said the fellow). "Farmer George, (said the King) who is Farmer George? I thought I new every Farmer in this neighbourhood."—"Why, don't you know Farmer George, mun? He lives in a thick great house, (pointing to the castle) they call us the King, but we call him nothing but Farmer George."—The King laughed heartily, and wished the fellow good day.
Feb. 6.—Yesterday the House of Commons went into a committee of supply, came to the following resolutions:
Resolved, "That it is the opinion of this committee, that the sum of one million five hundred thousand pounds, be granted to his Majesty, to make good the Exchequer bills, issued in pursuance of an act of the last session of Parliament, for raising a certain sum of money by Exchequer bills, for the service of the year 1786."
Resolved, "That one million be granted to his Majesty, to make good the Exchequer bills made out, pursuant to an act of the last session of Parliament, for raising a further sum of money by loans, or Exchequer bills for the service of the year 1786."
Extract of a letter from Peterburgh, Dec. 19.
"Accounts are received from Capt. Imaiyloff, Governor of Kamtschatka, that two armed ships, under English colours, from the coast of America, with a cargo of furs were put into the Island of Metmi; that on their arrival they were not allowed to land or even to traffic for fresh provisions, but after making the Prince some valuable presents of European articles, they had entered into a league of friendship with him for the carrying on a traffic with the Japanese, for the disposal of their cargoes, which chiefly consist of furs, that before the ship which brought the intelligence failed from Metmi, they had made several voyages to the coast of Japan, and met with great success; that they were preparing to leave some of their people on the Island, to whom the Prince had promised protection, and had actually betrothed one of his daughters to the Supercargo, who was to be left on the Island as commander of the party for the carrying on a correspondence with the Japanese and the Kurile Islands."
It is certainly true, and for the honor of Scotland, a Mr. Brisbane has every reason to suppose that he has discovered the longitude; by the meridian of the Hebrides, that by any observation, night or day, to determine the latitude, by the operation of a few figures, he can with undoubted certainty ascertain the longitude. The Board have had several meetings with him upon it.
The steps taken a few years ago by the French in the East Indies, to encourage in their settlements the culture of spice, though very important in themselves, have been very little attended to here. We shall therefore present our readers with the following account, lately published in France:
"Monsr. Poivre had no sooner taken possession of his dignity, as Intendant of the Ile of France, than reflecting on the immense profits accruing to the Dutch, by their exclusive spice trade, he resolved to leave no means untried to make his countrymen partake of so valuable a branch of commerce. Accordingly two small ships were equipped under the respective command of Monsr. De Tremignon and D'Etcheverri. These ships, called the Vigilant and the Morning Star, reached Manila on the 10th of September, 1779. There Monsr. D'Etcheverri was detained two months by a very severe illness, from which he was at last relieved by drinking the mineral waters known in the country. These, it is said are of so corrosive and hot a nature, that if a chicken is dipped therein, and remain in it the space of six minutes, all the flesh is consumed, and nothing remains but the bones."
"On the 15th of March, 1780, Monsieur D'Etcheverri appeared in sight of Ceylon, and the next morning put in safe into a bay, where he landed alone, and met on shore with a man busy in constructing a barge. This happened to be a Dutchman, who, discontented with the treatment he had met from his countrymen, but more powerfully influenced by the gold of the French, gave him freely every necessary direction, warning him especially to avoid the Isle of Amboina, the mart of the Dutch trade in those parts. He further added, that the island Gueby was peopled only with Malays, the inveterate enemies to the Dutch nation; but as they had never seen any other Europeans, it was to be feared that the French might be mistaken for Hollanders, and treated accordingly. Undismayed by a danger which existed only in probability, Monsieur D'Etcheverri put to sea again, and on the 5th of August, dropped anchor near a village of the above island. The shore was lined with an infinite number of the natives, the Commodore nevertheless did not hesitate landing in company with the Steward and linguist, the latter bearing the French Kings flag. This being remarked to be different from that of the Dutch, which they had seen before, they received the strangers very favourably. Their reception from the King of that country was still more pleasing to them. He took the Commodore by the hand and led him to his palace, where after having briefly inquired against the Dutch, he accepted the present, and signifying his wish of putting himself under the protection of the King of France; then having ordered his own colours to be taken down and torn, he ordered the Commodore to hoist the French flag in their stead. The Prince expressed his liking for the French uniform, and the Commodore was allowed to dress his Majesty in one of those regiments. Monsieur D'Etcheverri took advantage of those favourable dispositions, to request of the Monarch some of the vegetable productions of his country as a present to the King of France. The Dutch had taken the malicious precaution of destroying the clove and nutmeg trees, but the Prince proposed getting some from Patini, a neighbouring isle. In the interim, the King of this last place, who lived with the former upon the terms of the strictest alliance, hearing of the sudden arrival of strangers at Gueby, and fearing that some violence was intended against his ally, had armed a considerable fleet of boats, each bearing 20 men, and a proper number of swivels. The mistake being soon cleared by the King of Gueby, the Monarch of Patini agreed to send for two thousand grains, and plants of the nutmeg-tree. As for the clove, a person from Gueby offered to fetch a certain quantity, but he being absent too long, the Commodore thought it expedient to set sail. However, he had not yet reached the road when the messenger came back at the signal given on shore, and a boat was sent, and returned laden with the precious spice."
"Monsr. D'Etcheverri lost no time to be gone, as the season of the monsoons was approaching very fast; but being off Boutan, he fell in with five Dutch guard-ships, he was hailed by the Admiral, and a boat sent on board, manned with the principal Dutch officers, who endeavoured to puzzle the Frenchman with the most captious questions. His answer was that he came from Manila, meant to stop at Batavia to take in provisions, and thence sail for the place of his destination. He cautiously declined the cunning offer of the Dutch to supply and convoy him, and at last was permitted to continue his voyage; meeting with no other obstacle in his way; Monsr. D'Etcheverri arrived safe in the Isle of France, where the new plantation of spice has thriven ever since so successfully, as to equal, if not surpass, the most sanguine expectations of the adventurers."
Extract of a letter from Peterburgh, Dec. 3. Nothing is talked of here but the voyage to Cherfon, which is to take place on the 14th of January. Great preparations have been making for some time for this journey; the two young Princes, the grandsons of our Sovereign, are to set off two days before her Majesty. There is no doubt that her Majesty will commence her journey if she goes as far as Kiow, where she is to have an interview with the Emperor and the King of Poland. Although, by the Polish constitution, the King cannot absent himself from his dominions, unless in cases of great emergency, yet, as Kiow is at no considerable distance from the frontiers of his kingdom, he may, incognito, take this little excursion, without offending the etiquette of the constitution."
Bon mot of the late Lord Chesterfield.—While this facetious nobleman was one day waiting at the Duke of Newcastle's levee, he took up a book which happened to lie on the table. His Grace, on entering, asked what book it was? The very best for every person to study, who attends your Grace's levee; for, continues his Lordship, it is "Garnet upon Job."

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.
It is with concern we have to inform the public, that the Hon. Charles Biddle, Esq. Vice President of this Commonwealth, had the misfortune of breaking his leg yesterday, as he descended the stair-case of the State-House.
He was instantly attended by Dr. Hutchinson, who administered every physical aid which could alleviate his excruciating irritation.
In justice to his feelings we must declare that he bore this accident, with the fortitude and patience of a Christian Philosopher.
On Monday last at a meeting of the Sea Captain's Society for the relief of the distressed widows and orphans of Sea Captains, the deplorable situation of their brethren now suffering in slavery in Algiers, was taken under consideration and unanimously determined that the following members be a committee to adopt some immediate and effectual plan to raise monies for their relief, and to consult with the committees that may be appointed by the different Marine Societies in other States, viz.
Capt. Charles Biddle, Vice President of the State. Capt. John Runn, Capt. John Hazlewood and Capt. John Angus.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 13.
On Tuesday was held the Anniversary Commencement of Columbia College, in this city. The Hon. the Legislature attended on the occasion. A procession was formed at the College, which moved to St. Paul's Chapel, at about 12 o'clock, where the Students of the College pronounced some very elegant orations, pertinent to the occasion, and suitable to the present state of our national affairs—Mr. Boyd, among the rest acquired great credit:—Mr. Van Schaick, who pronounced the valedictory did it with much propriety; and gave great satisfaction. After the orations, the Rev. Mr. Grofs, delivered a certificate of Bachelor of Arts, to each of the young gentlemen who had the honor of appearing on the stage—of exhibiting the rising importance of Columbia College; and shewing to the world how learning may be improved by the following hands of wise, discerning, and patriotic Legislatures, who are impressed with its importance, and view it as the grand bulwark of freedom.
A philanthropic writer speaking on the pernicious consequences of war, expresses himself in the following energetic language:—"The conquests of an Alexander, the slaughtered millions of a Cæsar, the daring rashness of a Charles, and the victorious career, of a Frederick—These are the tales of wonder, which glow in such splendid colours beneath the pencil of an admiring recorder. These are the wretches that fill the world with carnage, trample on the liberties of mankind, break through all the ties of nature, and leave their names foremost in the lists of fame. Is this fame? Is fame the reward of military heroes, who, to use an excellent expression of Rosseau, are good for nothing, but to knock one another on the head? What a pother is made about this fame! The shining phantom which glitters on the ruins of humanity!"
The ancient Romans granted public rewards of an honorable kind to those persons who distinguished themselves in such laudable pursuits as were advantageous to the interests of the Commonwealth, and indeed of benefit to the cause of humanity in general. Thus the successful commander was crowned with the laurel wreath, the poet with bays, the valiant soldier or citizen who eminently distinguished himself in repulsing the enemy from the walls, with a rural crown; while the person who saved the life of any fellow citizen, or indeed of any human being whatever, when apparently in inevitable danger, was honored with the civic crown.—Medals struck off (though only of brass) on account of a gallant exploit or victory obtained, were universally esteemed a sufficient reward to each officer and brave person that particularly conducted to the performance of such heroic deeds. The people of France seems in a great measure to follow the noble example, and of late have granted suitable rewards to those who have rendered themselves conspicuous in every praiseworthy action and generous endeavour, in order to stimulate others to imitate the same virtuous and liberal mode of conduct.
By a Gentleman, from Annapolis (Nova-Scotia) we have the following advice, that on the 9th of last month, Joshua Chandler, Esq. his son Mr. William Chandler, and daughter, Miss Betsey Chandler, with several others, took passage in a vessel, at
Anapolis, bound to St. Johns; that in the evening following (the weather being hazy, and the wind blowing fresh) the vessel was cast on a rocky shore, a few miles from their destined port, and soon beat to pieces; that Mr. William Chandler, was drowned in attempting to reach the shore; that his father and sister perished with fatigue and cold, after wandering several hours in a deep snow, as also a Mrs. Grant, the widow of a British officer. Several of the company were frost bitten, and much fatigued before they got to a house. Joshua Chandler, Esq. was formerly, for several years, a Justice of Peace for New-Haven county, and one of the representatives in the General Assembly of Connecticut. He had returned from England, but a few weeks before he met the above hapless fate.
On Monday the 2d inst. came on at Faneuil-Hall, in Boston, the election for Governor, Lieut. Governor, &c. of Massachusetts; at the close the numbers were;—
 GOVERNOR.  His Excellency James Bowdoin, Esquire, 724  The Hon. John Hancock, Esquire, 775  LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.  Hon. Thomas Cushing, Esq. 880  Benjamin Lincoln, Esq. 424  Samuel Adams, Esq. 179 
By a list of votes from various quarters of that State, published in the Boston papers, Mr. Hancock appears to have a great majority.
In the New-Port Herald of the 29th ult. is published the history of a fracas, which happened not long since, in that city, between his Excellency John Collins, Esq. of Rhode-Island, and Jacob Richardson, Esq. Post-Master for the district of Newport; and which it appears was occasioned by Mr. R's refusing to deliver any letters directed to the Governor, unless the postage was first paid in solid coin, in conformity to a resolution of Congress, directing Post-Masters not to receive paper money for postage. Two letters it seems were brought to the post-office, addressed to the Governor, who sent his son for them, but without any money, and Mr. R. refused to deliver them. The Governor then appeared in person, and from Mr. R's son received the letters, but was told by him that his father's orders were, that no letters should go from the office without being paid for—The Governor told him to call his father, and Mr. R. appeared. His Excellency told Mr. R. he had got the letters, and that he would see the postage paid. The Post-Master not chusing to trust him, took the letters out of his hand.—This irritated the Governor, who called Mr. R. a scoundrel, and a rascal, and threatened him with a drubbing, if he would come out of the office; but Mr. R. did not go out, and his Excellency moved off slowly. On the information of the Governor, the Assembly took up the matter, and after hearing his Excellency's complaint, cited Mr. R. before them, and by a stretch of power, to be found only in Algiers and Rhode-Island, he was obliged to sign a paper asking pardon of the Governor and Assembly; which finished the business. From such a government, or rather "no government"—and from despotism, such as these, we pray God to deliver us.
We have it from good authority, that his Excellency Governor Bowdoin has received from Governor Collins, of Rhode-Island, an answer to his letter, forwarded by the latter some time since, to request that the fugitives in Massachusetts, who were deeply concerned in the late wicked attempt to overthrow its excellent constitution, and involve it in a civil war, might be delivered up, agreeably to the articles of the confederation.—Governor Collins informs Governor Bowdoin, that in "consequence of the misconduct of the Post-Master, Governor B's letter had been but that moment opened in the upper house, and that he had sent it to the lower house to receive its instructions who has not given him any instructions, and so cannot do any thing about the Rebels, and they cannot be meddled with."—What exalted and transporting ideas of national liberty, strong attachment to the articles of confederation, and regard to good order in general, must the patriotic Governor's letter hold up to the friends of liberty throughout the world? and, above all, how keen a sense of his worth and abilities, and of the virtue and knowledge of the lower house, must all enlightened people entertain? and how much ought we to respect and venerate such governments, after being favored with the foregoing specimen of their literary and political talents!
About ten years since, Mr. Charles Miller of the Botanic Garden, at Cambridge, raised from a single grain of wheat, in a space of time not much exceeding 12 months, 3 pecks and 3 quarters of corn, or about 576,840 grains. An astonishing multiplication! produced by repeatedly dividing the stems, separating the side shoots, and transplanting both.
Not less capable of increase is every seed of knowledge, if sown in a fertile understanding and cultivated with the same assiduity, skill and perseverance. Demonstrate to the human mind the existence of the Deity, and from this root all the attributes of divinity branch forth; his unity, spirituality, eternity, immutability, omnipotence, omnipresence, wisdom, justice and goodness. These again admit of endless subdivisions, each enlarging with our conceptions, and affording boundless objects of contemplation.
Philosophy, from the most common appearance in nature, the fall of bodies to the ground, rises by a patient analysis, to the great law of gravitation; and having established the general principle, extends it over the universe, explaining by synthesis, not only the phenomena of this earth, but the revolution of the whole planetary system. What a glorious harvest of science is thus opened to our view! But if we descend from the scale of immunity, and consider the opposite extreme of nature, we shall find that the gradations of minuteness are infinite, as those of magnitude; and that they furnish subjects of science, less sublime indeed, but equally inexhaustible. Let us contemplate for instance, the various classes of beings, from the monstrous hippopotamus to the smallest animalcula, which the microscope has yet discovered, and we shall perceive the evidence of this truth.
But it must appear still more striking to us, when we reflect that life is probably extended far beyond the ken of the most piercing eye, aided by the best magnifiers; and life, by analogy, implies that the animals are endowed with limbs, which consist of muscles, bones, blood-vessels and nerves: These again have their component parts; the divisibility of which seems to admit of no limitation. O Lord! how manifold are thy works, in wisdom hast thou made them all!

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of eminence in New-Haven, to his friend in Attleborough, dated March 2d, 1787.
The dispersion of the insurgents in Massachusetts is happy for us. The sons of fraud, rapine and licentiousness in several towns, and in several counties in this State, were waiting with anxious expectation to see Shays and his banditti victorious; had this event taken place, a rebellion would in all probability have speedily ensued; but now scarcely a man mentions the word grievance —a word more perverted in your State in the late rebellion than all the other words which can be formed from the alphabet. The spirited resolves of the Assembly in the beginning of the present session, with the decided measures taken by your most excellent Commander in Chief, cannot be sufficiently admired.—It is only necessary now to carry your laws into effect with firmness and decision.—I am afraid left the compassion of the Legislature should extend so far as to spare the lives of those who have forfeited every thing to society.—Forgiveness, I know, is truly characteristic of a Christian—it was that which induced the Saviour of men to breathe forth the most compassionate and endearing language, when surrounded with murderers—"Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."—The same benevolent Spirit pervades the celestial Regions; yet it is an eternally true political maxim, that the good of the great whole (in times of imminent danger) ought to be secured, by sacrificing a few individuals to the demands of public justice; and if ever justice did demand a literal compliance with that maxim, most certainly it does at the present period.—I rejoice to hear that the spirit of opposition in Attleborough declines; your convention-men, I suspect, are filled with chagrin and disappointment beyond conception, and must forever feel the horrors of guilty recollection, together with the execrations of their country, which evidently, through their means and intrigue, had been stained with blood.—Rehoboth abounds with a great number of the most finished literary and political characters, which must place that ancient town in the most honorable point of view, through the learned world, if we may judge from their petitions to the General Court, and the doings of their numerous Town-Meetings.
The following is a true copy of an inscription on a tomb-stone of white marble, at Green-Bay, opposite Port-Royal, in the island of Jamaica.
DIEU SUR TOUT. "HERE lies the body of Lewis Galdy, Esq. who departed this life, at Port-Royal, the 22d December, 1759, aged 80." "He was born at Montpelier, in France, but left that country for his religion, and came to settle in this Island, where he was swallowed up in the great earthquake in the year 1692, and, by the providence of God, was, by another shock, thrown into the sea, and miraculously saved by swimming, until a boat took him up." "He lived many years after in great reputation, beloved by all that knew him, and much lamented at his death."

To the PUBLIC. A Gentleman of the physical profession, regularly educated, offers with great deference his services to the public. As he was many years a surgeon in practice, he hopes his experience will particularly recommend him to those who have the misfortune to be exposed to the ravages of a disorder prevalent enough in all populous cities. As he happens to be a stranger, he can have little more, exclusive of the knowledge of his profession to recommend him, save only the moderation of his charges, and the most assiduous attention to such patients as will honor him with their confidence. It is his interest and duty to observe the most inviolable secrecy where occasion requires. In all disorders whatsoever, he gives advice gratis, to such poor persons as come recommended by any of the Clergy, or respectable families in this city. All persons are informed, that directions and medicines will be given which may enable them to cure themselves in many disorders incident to their situation, if they observe attention to his rules. The Doctor may be consulted every day, at the Widow Bull's, No. 58, Fair-street, near Golden-hill. 79
