The Epistle from the Yearly Meeting held in London, by adjournments from the 28th of the fifth month, 1788, to the 19th day of the same month.
To the Quarterly and Monthly meetings of Friends in Great Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere, Dear Friends and Brethren.
IN that love which is not subject to change, we affectionately salute you. We have abundant cause to acknowledge the renewal of divine help and counsel, to us in this our large annual assembly, through the virtue and influence whereof we have been enabled to attend to the weighty concerns which have come before us, in much brotherly love and concord.
The amount of friends' sufferings, brought in this year, for tithes, those called church rights, and other demands with which we conscientiously scruple to comply, amount, in Great Britain, to upwards of five thousand one hundred pounds; and in Ireland, to one thousand five hundred pounds.
By the accounts received from our several quarterly meetings, and by epistles from Ireland, New England, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and North and South Carolina, and Georgia, we have the comfortable intelligence of their additions to our religious society, by convinced persons, and in these kingdoms, more than at some former periods. For the religious progress of these we are warmly solicitous, that, by abiding closely under the forming hand, they may effectually experience an advancement in the weighty work of conversion; which gradually leads the believing and obedient soul into that child-like state, which is meet for the kingdom. May those who have had the privilege of birth-right amongst us be watchful, lest, by swerving from the simplicity in which truth leads its faithful followers, they become cause of offence to such as are thus brought into our religious community! O friends! rest not content with having been educated in a profession even of the truth itself, but wait to know the power, which regenerates and quickens the soul, and qualifies to see the things which pertain to the kingdom of God; that power which awakened the spiritual senses of our forefathers, which disturbed their rest in outward forms, and which caused them to be dissatisfied with every thing short of the substance of christianity. Let us not, their successors, in the profession of the same living faith, degenerate into formality, taking up our residence as in the outward court; but let us seek after an entrance into that spiritual temple, where true prayer is wont to be made; and humbly and deeply wait for ability to worship the Father of spirits, in spirit and in truth. Cherish, we beseech you, the inward manifestations, and the tender impressions of the divine grace, and walk therein; so shall you experience preservation from the defilements and corruptions of the world. Deplorable hath been the consequence of living above the simple discoveries of the pure word of life in the heart, even darkness, error and unbelief.
And, dear friends, as we are convinced that pure and spiritual worship only is acceptable to God; so we are also firmly persuaded, that the wholesome discipline established amongst us can only be rightly and effectually exercised in the wisdom and power of the spirit. Wait therefore in all your meetings of discipline for the renewing of divine life, and to be clothed with the spirit of Christ; the fruits of which are, meekness, long suffering, and love unfeigned.
The religious concern of this meeting hath been abundantly manifested in our epistolary communications from year to year, in order to excite our brethren in profession to seek after durable riches in righteousness. We therefore most earnestly intreat that this consideration may take place in every mind; What spiritual advantage have I experienced from these labors of the church for the promotion of true piety and self denial! If such a consideration be attended to, it will not be necessary to communicate much; nor do we feel our minds under an engagement at this time to enlarge; but we refer to the many profitable and weighty advices in former epistles. Nevertheless, dear friends, the continuance of covetousness and of earthly mindedness in many, calls upon us to endeavor to awaken such as are infected with it to a sense of what they are pursuing, and at what price. The great Master has shown the unprofitableness of the whole world, compared with one immortal soul; and yet many are pursuing a delusive portion of it, at the expence of their souls interest. But, were all thus awakened, what place would be found for extensive schemes in trade, and fictitious credit to support them. To mix with the spirit of the world in the pursuit of gain, would then be a subject of dread; and contentment, under the allotment of providence, the secure means of preservation.
The increasing solicitude for the impression of the slave trade, which appears among all ranks of people, is cause of thankfulness to the common Father of mankind; and encourages us to hope, that the time is approaching, when this nation will be cleansed from that defilement. Let us, in the mean time, continue, with unabating ardor, to be intercessors for the greatly injured Africans.
We conclude with expressing our comfort, that, notwithstanding the many weaknesses that prevail, numbers of our beloved youth are preferred in faithfulness, to whom the gracious Lord hath extended, and is continuing to extend, the visitations of his light and love; whereby there is reason to hope, that they will grow up in usefulness, and become a succession of testimony bearers to the truth. That they may in all humility receive a the saving help, and, by obedience to the pointing of the divine hand, continue steadfast to the end, where the price inestimable is to be obtained, is the fervent travail of our spirits.
Signed in and on behalf of the Yearly Meeting, by WILLIAM JEPSON, Clerk to the Meeting this year.
Trial of PLEASURE, before Judge PHILO-SOPHY.
THE trial being open, PLEASURE was brought to the bar. Repentance appeared to protect her. The judge, Philosophy, with eye severe observed her. Beneath him, fat Mullen Melancholy, with folded arms—Reflection, with close contracted brow, opened the indictment; and squint-eyed Care, with dark disgust, were appointed to examine the witnesses.
The first evidence that was called, was a young fellow with a pallid countenance; his small legs scarcely could support him to crawl into court; he was obliged to stop for want of breath, and in a squeaking voice, he deposed thus:
That, to his knowledge, the prisoner was the greatest jilt in nature; that he had thrown away a very good estate, and spoilt a strong constitution in following her; that she continually gave him hopes of enjoyment but always deceived him; that his first acquaintance with her was at college where she tempted him, in shape of a beautiful pointer, to forsake his studies, and follow her; he immediately set up his equipage to honor her; ran after her from horse-race to horse-race; followed her to
of the town; searched every tavern for her; but still he had missed meeting her.
At the tavern, indeed he had sometimes a glimpse of her; but then he began drinking so young, that he was seldom there in capacity to enjoy her, always either dull or drunk; when sober, he was commonly sick, and whenuddled, always for fighting; so upon the whole, he told the court, (swearing by his maker) he was an impudent jilt, and bilked him.
The next witness was a lady, a fine moulded female; she did gracefully into court, with her hoop held high before her, and immediately ran up to the prisoner to embrace her, but was prevented by the prime sergeant Reflection, who asked her if she knew the criminal; upon which, with a full stare and mouth wide open, she burst into the prettiest laugh; fell from thence into the most innocent confusion; sweetly excused herself in a very becoming lip; and with a low curtsy, sunk negligently down on the bench between the prisoner's counsel, Fanny and Hope.
She was interrogated about her knowledge of the prisoner; when she told the court, that the lady at the bar was her intimate; they had been brought up from their childhood together; and that the judge was truly a fright, and the rest of the bench a parcel of queer creatures, not to let so fine a lady to sit down among them.
Then turning to the prisoner, she invited her to her drum, and told her what charming company was to be at it; for instance, Miss Rout, Madam Raquet, Widow Hurricane, Lady Dowsager Drum, and the Dutchess of Helter-Skelter; then she hastily got up and hummed an opera tune; and, with a round-about sweep, whisked away to her chair in an instant.
The next evidence was an old man; though stricken in years, his countenance had not lost all the marks of florid health; in his face the bloom of manhood seemed to contend with the winter of age.
He gave his evidence as follows: "Behold, most grave judge, one of the unhappiest among mankind; I have all my life been searching after pleasure, fooled by that lady, the prisoner, till at last I am involved in an irretrievable series of miseries.
"In my juvenile days, I had often read of the prisoner Pleasure; I was charmed at her character, I longed to be acquainted with her; thought of nothing but her; and, like other lovers, tugged poet to please her.
"I courted the sciences for her sake; but in poetry I flattered myself I should soon find her; therefore immediately became fond of making her verses: But alas! where I expected Pleasure, I met with Pain: I was blamed as an idler, condemned as a plagiary, or punished by the ignorant and envious with derision. I next applied myself to traffic; I crossed the sea for gain; I encreased my fortune but not to my pleasure.
"Tempests, robbers, breached in trade, disappointments, damped all hopes of enjoying her; I then recollected I had gained enough; I resolved to rest myself, and, in ease, was in hopes to find her.
"Again I was mistaken; while at rest I was uneasy; I grew discontented with having nothing to do, I then resolved to exercise my mind, and I began to examine the laws of nature.
"I studied them; I enquired into primary causes; but alas! all I obtained, was an insatiable desire to know more than could be known, and a certain sorrowful reflection, that all I did know was insignificant.
"I then turned builder; I planned a house; I laid out my gardens; I amused myself among the arts; and then I thought I was arrived at true pleasure; but I was still to seek; the workmen's delays disturbed me, they fell out among themselves; I was distracted to decide their quarrels; at length they finished the house, and then I invited my friends, I treated my neighbors, I settled fortunes on my children, and once more I thought of being happy; still I am deceived; my friends I find are flatterers; my neighbors are envious of my riches, my children wish for my death to possess them, and, after all my toils, am at last as far from finding pleasure as the first day I set out after her."
The judge then asked the prisoner, what defence she could make? She called her witnesses, Beauty and Love.
On their appearance, immediately the whole court was sensibly affected: Melancholy reared his head, Reflection smoothed his brow, Care looked pleased, and Philosophy gave a sigh, when prudence, who all this while had concealed, stepped forth and ordered the officers of the court, Fear and Disgust, to seize the two witnesses, Beauty and Love, for she had an indictment against them for perjury; objected to their testimony, and insisted on Pleasure's making a defence without their help. Pleasure immediately began:
"Would mankind use me as I deserve, I should never be tried as a criminal, but rewarded as a friend.
"They call upon me to help them; yet I no sooner come to their assistance, but they bind me captive to their tempers.
"The youth who appeared against me, I never was acquainted with; had he stuck to his studies, he might have found me: He mistook another for me, whom he followed; she is dressed like me, her name is folly; it is to her he owes all his misfortunes.
"As to the lady, who says, I attended her in fancy, it is false; she had a waiting maid that attended her, and took my name, but her true title was Self-love.
"The last and heaviest charge against me is the old man's; but he is a hypocrite: I would have attended him always as his wife; but he would use me like a kept mistress proud of showing the world he possessed me; I despised him for his obtuseness; I left him, to be more sincerely dealt with; and I—
"But why, raising her voice, should I plead a mong such cold, such spiritless judges? Come to my rescue, my friends! assist me, my allies!"
Immediately, the Passions came turbulently into court, drove Melancholy away, gagged Repentance; Philosophy hid himself under the table; they trampled upon Reflection; released Pleasure; and made Prudence prisoner, to be tried in her place.

Extract of a letter from Hillsborough, (N. C.) dated August 29.
"I am just informed, by a gentleman of character, that the Spanish Consul, has wrote to the commanding officer of Cumberland, disavowing the Spaniards to have had any hand in encouraging the Indians to commit depredations, on the inhabitants of that country. This, I think, will have a good effect on the Greeks; and the active and strong detachments, under the command of General Martin, against the Chickamaugues, will, I have no doubt, bring them to our own terms. This probably may have happy and good effects for our country. The prospect of peace, a new and good road 150 miles nearer than by the way of Kentucky, good grazing and a plenty of game, will induce a number to emigrate to Cumberland."

AT a Quarterly Meeting held at their Hall, in the Tholsel, on Monday the 31st day of March, 1788.
Whereas it has been represented to this meeting that the society established in London, for the abolition of the Slave Trade, are desirous of knowing the sentiments of the merchants of Ireland on that subject:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Guild, that the African Slave Trade is repugnant not only to the principles of religion and humanity, but to the true interests of commerce, which would be much more effectually promoted by that general civilization of Africa, which its intercourse with the trading states of Europe must naturally produce, if the traffic in our fellow-creatures, the principal cause of its present barbarism, were discontinued.
Resolved, That in case the legislature of Great Britain shall enact any laws for the abolition of this disgraceful commerce, this corporation will make their application to the parliament of this kingdom to pass an act for the same generous purpose.
Resolved, That the following members of this corporation, viz. Mr. Alex. Jeffrey, Mr. Joseph Napier Tandy, Mr. Joshua Pim, Mr. Thomas Howiton and Mr. James Hartley, be appointed a committee to communicate these our sentiments and resolutions to the respectable society formed in London, for the abolition of the Slave Trade, together with our earnest wishes for their success with the legislature of our sister kingdom, and at the same time to inform them that the merchants of Ireland have not hitherto shown a disposition to avail themselves of the profits which may accrue to individuals concerned in that infamous traffic.

IRELAND. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Saturday, March 29, 1788. TRAVERS HARTLEY, Esq. PRESIDENT, In the Chair.
THE Chamber of Commerce of the city of Dublin having observed with much satisfaction the generous disposition prevalent among their fellow subjects in Great-Britain, to effect an abolition of the Slave Trade, a disposition so congenial to the character of an humane and enlightened nation, and at the same time having indulged themselves in the reflection that the traffic in the human species does not appear to have been ever carried on from this kingdom, yet willing to be in any degree assistant to the great and good work of relieving numbers of their fellow-creatures, and desirous that any apprehensions of this country engaging in that odious traffic may be obviated, have deemed it expedient to come to the following resolutions:
Resolved, That if the British legislature shall think fit to pass a law for abolishing the slave trade, it will be desirable for the legislature of Ireland to co-operate with that humane and wise measure by the enactment of a similar statute in this kingdom.
Resolved, That this chamber will not fail, at the proper time, to make humble application to the house of commons for that purpose, in which they cannot question having the support of every rank and description of Irishmen.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be transmitted to Granville Sharp, Esq. chairman of the society in London, for the abolition of the Slave Trade, and that our worthy president be requested to sign the same.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes,
No. 12, Hanover-square.
The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June, last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. (Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

INSTRUCTIONS To a Celebrated Laureat: Alias, THE PROGRESS OF CURIOSITY; Alias, A BIRTH-DAY ODE; Alias, MR. WHITBREAD'S BREW-HOUSE. By PETER PINDAR, Esq. This most extraordinary genius, desiring all the admonitions he has received from brothers of the quill, leaving them to themselves, continues wantonly to attack the greatest names on earth. Some Poet has represented death as playing at foot-ball with crowns and sceptres. Peter, by his irreverent kicks at Majesty, and all its ac- companyings, realizes this allegory. His poetical versatility is such, that we find a difficulty where most to admire him; whether he lures with Ju- venal, sneers with Swift, laughs with Butler, sighs with Tibullus, or tells a tale with Fontaine. He has taken upon him to instruct Mr. Wharton, the Laureat, in the true method of Ode-making, both by precept and example, chusing for his subject, the King's Visit to Mr. Whitbread's Brew-House. The pen of Ar- istophanes, never produced any thing more comic, nor more impudent. Sept. 27. tf

To be Sold at Private Sale, A Quantity of Salt Meadow, lying near Mina- skunk Landing, upon both sides of the creek, and within a half a mile of the bay. The creek is advantageously situated for erecting a tide mill on it, which, upon account of the many conveniences attending it, may be one of the best stands for a tide mill in this part of the state. Vessels of forty tons may come up to the mill-tail, and also lies within a mile of another landing place, where flour may be transported to New-York almost all parts of the winter. In the creek is a very fine oyster bed, which annually affords a considerable quantity of oysters—and its vicinity to the bay renders it still more valuable, from the advantage of hav- ing fish, oysters and clams, almost all seasons of the year.—In short, the facility with which a mill may be erected there, the advantage of water carriage, and its vicinity to New-York, are con- veniences to be found but in few places; and the subscriber ventures to assert, will answer the most sanguine expectation of any person that may be in- clined to erect a mill there. Also, will be sold along with it, a quantity of good Upland, joining the Meadow, upon the West side of the creek, conveni- ently situated for erecting a house upon it.— The Meadows on the East side of the creek, will be sold in lots, or in such quantities as may best suit the purchaser. ALSO, will be Sold—A quantity of Woodland, containing two hundred acres, in such quantities as may best suit the purchaser. The land lies ad- joining a lively stream of water, where a mill may be easily erected, and is within one mile and an half of a good landing, very convenient for sending wood to New-York. The soil is naturally good, and some of it affords excellent clay for making bricks, which may become a valuable commodity, on ac- count of its vicinity to market. For terms of sale, apply to the subscriber, living near the premi- se, who will give an indisputable title to the pur- chaser.
