OF IMPRECATIONS, and the folly and danger of using them.
IF men are so prodigal in scattering imprecations and curses upon all they are diseased at, would take time to consider what they are about before they discharge them. they should certainly be ashamed of the folly of such a practice, because nobody is hurt by it but themselves; for curses, like arrows shot against heaven, fall upon the heads of those that throw them out, but can never injure the persons or things they are levelled at. What can be more foolish than for men in common discourse to make imprecations upon themselves, to confirm the truth of their assertions, which does no more than give a handle to their auditors suspicion? For good men will be believed without them, and ill men can never gain credit, but disparage themselves by so frequent venting them, because by such bitter asseverations they seem to suspect their own reputation. It is also for want of consideration, and too easy a compliance with a scandalous and vicious custom that men of sense in other matters, upon very slight, and sometimes no occasion, expose themselves to the wrath of heaven by calling upon God to damn them, if what they say be false, when at the same time they know there is no truth in it: And with they may perish eternally, if they don't do what they never intend when they speak it. I say, how deplorable is their condition, if heaven should say amen to what they wish for?
Three wicked suborn'd wretches falsely accusing Narcissus, the pious bishop of Jerusalem, of incontinence, whose virtues were so conspicuous, that they perceived no body gave credit to their allegations, though upon oath; to gain credit before the judges, they confirm'd what they had said by dreadful imprecations upon themselves, in the close of their evidence. The first added, 'If what I have said be not true, I pray God I may be burnt to death. The second, may I perish by some loathsome disease, if there be any thing false in my depi- sitions.— And the third, I wish I may be struck blind by some judgment from heaven, if the whole of my affidavit be not true.' This scandalous impeachment, though none gave credit to what they so confidently avouched, had such an effect upon the devout and blameless prelate that he retired out of his diocese, and betook himself to a solitary life. But his perjured accusers were pursued and overtaken by the justice of heaven in their exemplary punishment: For the first, agreeable to his wish, having his house set on fire, by some unknown accident, he and his family were consumed in the flames. The second languish'd to death, under an incurable disease; and the third, seeing the dismal fate that attended his brethren in iniquity, confessed the whole contrivance, and wept so excessively, for the injury they had done the good bishop, that he utterly lost the use of his eyes — Eusebius.
King Edward, the confessor, was very sensible that the greatest troubles of his reign came from Godwin earl of Kent, and his sons, yet he was reconciled to them: but tho' he forgave them, it seems heaven would not. For the earl being at dinner with the king on Easter Sunday, a discourse arising about the
death of prince Alfred, in which it was suspected that he was accessory; the earl, to purge himself from that crime, wish'd, if he was guilty of it, that the next bit of bread he eat might choak him: And so it happened, for the next morsel he attempted to swallow was his death. — Hilt. Eng.
King Henry I. of England, sent an ambassador to Edgar king of Scotland, desiring he might have his sister Mathilda to wife, who had devoted herself to God in a single life; and Edgar being unwilling and afraid to disoblige him, married her to him against her consent, or rather by compulsion; who then prayed to God, that none of those children might prosper that should be born in that wedlock; and it happened according to the wish. For duke William, and the princess Mary, his sister, with a retinue of a hundred and fifty men and women, were all cast away in a storm at sea, in their passage between Barfleet and England. Polyd. Virg.
A young man in Newburgh purposing to wash himself, his mother in a great rage, opposed his design; but he being resolved upon it, paid little regard to his mother's words, who continuing her anger, said, 'If thou wilt go, I pray God thou mayst never return again to me alive.' Nor did he, for as soon as he entered the water, he was drowned. Lonic. Theatr.
Thomas Sally, near Goudhurst in the county of Kent, being mounted on horseback, in order to ride a hunting, his father said, 'Pray, son, take another horse, and let that rest, because you know he is to be rid a great journey speedily.' But seeing he could not prevail with his son to take another, he fell into a great passion, which vented itself in this imprecation, 'If thou wilt ride him in spite of my teeth, I pray God he may throw thee, and break thy neck.' The son rode away, his father followed him to the gate, and looking a little after him, saw the horse start, throw his rider, and kill him in his father's sight. View of Kent.
From the PENNSYLVANIA MERCURY, &c. MR. HUMPHREYS,
THE practice of corpse-stealing has become so notorious in this city, that seldom a body is buried without the friends of the deceased watching it:—The loss of a near connection, or an amiable friend, is sufficiently afflicting, and sometimes insupportable, to a weak constitution, without adding dissection, attended with the most wanton treatment of the corse, and this often-times to gratify the curiosity of a herd of unthinking and unprincipled physical students.
In Spain, I am informed, it is a capital crime to steal or dissect the bodies of persons entitled to christian burial—but here, with impunity, some nocturnal thieves commit the most wanton depredations on the dead, and impiously traffic with their remains.—There are bodies which might be procured for this purpose—candidates for the gallows or wheelbarrow—persons devoid of every principle of justice, and who have forfeited the bonds of friendship and consanguinity.
The laws of the Franks directed, "that any person who had dug up a corse out of the ground, should be banished from society, and no one suffered to relieve his wants, until the relations of the deceased consented to his re-admission.
We have had a description of the proceedings of a mob in New-York, on a similar occasion, and the fatal
consequences of it—in which a few innocent (though imprudent) people have fallen victims in support of their justifiable resentment; and, fir, we have seen in this city, the resentment of some of its inhabitants raised to such a degree, as to commit some outrages contrary to the principles of good government. Such crimes would not have been committed, if a law existed to punish such execrable thieves as they deserved. This unnatural business has much alarmed the citizens, and many are determined to petition the legislature to enact a law, making it felony for any person stealing a corse, or to be any way aiding, abetting, or countenancing such vile and indecent practices.

From the Hudson Weekly Gazette. 'Tis thus onroll'd their black'ning crimes appear.
MR. EDITOR,
AS I was yesterday morning walking along a frequented road, very seriously contemplating the unhappy situation of my country—the dissolution of freedom, and the licentiousness of tyranny; I was invited by curiosity to change the subject of my meditation, and follow her to a very singular and attractive phenomenon, which I saw sparkling in the path at a small distance before me, I at first supposed it to be a collection of diamonds, irradiated by the rising sun: but upon an accurate investigation, found it to be a small trunk, and that which I supposed to be the diamonds, these letters, very artfully engraved in gold, on its fore-side, "The Imperial Shrine," this prompted me to a further disquisition, I soon opened the lid, but found nothing but a few obliterated scraps of papers carelessly scattered about. Yet as curiosity was still unsatisfied, I re-actuated my ventilation, till I discovered a small drawer, which drew enigmatically from the fore-side of the trunk, and which upon being opened discovered a large number of books, pamphlets, and other political and literary productions.—As I was impatient for a more conspicuous knowledge of the contents, I removed my position a few steps from the road, and sat down for a further discussion. In looking over this ambiguous collection, I could not but observe a book which seemed to be peculiarly diversified. Upon examining it, I found its title—"The progress of Tyranny, in seven books. By his Satanic Majesty."
Upon this I immediately searched some of the rest, and found they were the productions of the same author. I must own I was at first a little surprised, but upon again incorporating my thoughts, I easily erased the consternation, as I was fully conscious, from incessantly promulgated evidences, that his majesty was no stranger to the place, or at least to the country; I concluded that in some of his iterated excursions, he had through negligence left it behind him.—However, as I can only conjecture, I shall not attempt positively to assert the cause of its being there; but as I believe the discovery (if divulged) will indubiously unfold to the public some very important obstructions to the melioration of American policy, will facilitate the way to avert the impending ruin that awaits our debilitated situation from the perfidiousness of assimilated patriotism—and will decypher the flagitious confederacy that appears long to have subsisted on the expence of our sacred rights. I shall, if you think proper to give them a place in your paper, transmit to the public, as fast as can be consistently accomplished, a genuine copy of the work.—And I consider the book entitled, "The Progress of Tyranny," to be grounded on a theme most applicable to the present important crisis of America; I have first selected the following passage.
From the Progress of Tyranny, Sect. 5. The Tyrant Pandæmonium.
"Hail, source of knavery! all subjecting clan,
By lust inspir'd to blend the rights of man; O'er ruin'd realms to raise the kindling lyre, Bid Freedom mount, and Avarice touch the fire:
While groaning nations sink beneath your hand,
Hurl Desolation crims'ning o'er the land; In one broad tide all human rights to whelm, While Peace resigns, and Knavery guards the helm.
"Thrice happy morning! all-reviving sun;
That sees the day, that knows the business done.
When every realm hard bound in Slavery's ties,
Like falling stars shall sink no more to rise; When each Republic yields to fed'ral laws,
And heaven-born freedom mourns her vanquish'd cause.
"I see the giddy throngs licentious rise! Hell in their souls, and Knavery in their eyes!
Gregarious round from every distant shore, In black'ning crows the assembling miscreants pour;
From Phil-----a founds the spreading din, There toil my sons and there my joys begin; There Tyranny first gave Destruction birth, To nations Slavery and to Freedom death. From that fair clime enroll'd in mystic guise, I see unchain'd that blood-stain'd Monster* rise.
"As when old Vulcan, on his fiery throne, From Etna's top descends the flaming zone; Around his car the flashing sulphur plays, And streams on streams reflect the red'ning blaze;
Swift down the skies between the sounding poles, Through fields of air the thund'ring chariot rolls:
Deep from the centre pours a boiling flood, Falls down the steep and brightens round the God:
While from his eyes the blazing tempest's hurl'd, Bend the long deluge o'er the trembling world;
The distant nations, plung'd in flame, expire, And earth and heaven seem kindling with the fire.
"So round the Monster's head confus'dly roll'd, In awful pomp the black'ning storms unfold;
His shadowy brows in bending mountains curl'd,
Spread o'er each realm, and shade the Western World;
Blaze after blaze indignant from his eyes, Move like a meteor through the vesp'er'd skies;
While his wide jaws with flames sulphurous swell,
Heave the dark gulph and spread the expanding Hell.
"High moves the vultur'd ghost—his hideous form Swells like some cloud before an evening storm.
Grasp'd in his hand expiring Empire lies, Peace groans in death, and yielding Virtue dies.
Before his shrine, in sacred order spread, Consolidation rears her horrid head. Involv'd in blood the infernal structure stands,
And Desolation waves her crimson'd hands. Here dread Discordis sounds the dire alarms, And there Briareus lifts his hundred arms; His parting heads in space immense divide, Like winding cliffs o'er Etna's craggy side; Dark Fidius pamper'd with exhaustless guile,
From treach'ry's scource impels th' unwilling file;
While blinded Plutus rears his form before, And leads th' insidious dupe from shore to shore.
Hail sacred era! long expected scene, Fair Freedom's death-watch and the Tyrant's screen.
No more shall Justice lift her golden scale, Her son's no more o'er tyranny prevail; Virtue no more shall guild the blissful reign; Nor smiling Peace expunge the crimson'd stain;
But whelm'd, obscur'd, each heaven-born right must dwell,
Sav'd by these hands to feed the new-form'd Hell;
While these bright eyes, wi.h conquest's aid endu'd,
Sees Fed'ral Empire rais'd on Human Blood. * The Constitution.
American Occurrences.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5. IT is very difficult to reduce him to obedience who does not seek to command: & the most skilful politician would never be able to enslave men who only wished to be free: but inequality is extended without difficulty, among ambitious minds, always ready to run the risque of fortune, and command or serve indifferently, according as she becomes favourable or unkind.
Few men have hearts sound enough to know how to love liberty. All would command—at this rate none fear obeying: a man who arrives at preferment, gives himself an hundred masters to acquire ten servants: we need only see the haughtiness of nobles in monarchies, with what emphasis do they pronounce the words, service, and to obey? How they despise the republicans who are only free, and certainly more noble than them.
To renounce our liberty is to renounce the quality of men, the rights of humanity, and even our duty. There can be no possible recompence for him who renounces every thing: such a renunciation is incompatible with the nature of mankind; it is taking away all morality from his actions, and all liberty from his will.
The opposition to the new constitution in Maryland, says a correspondent, labour'd

under many disadvantages, and the little exertion they made, early evinced that the others had stolen to the windward of them. In the first place, the press was not free till the people were generally prejudiced in favour of this mysterious system, by the artful management of its advocates; and when Mr. Martin's information was published, it was only in one newspaper at Baltimore (the extremity of the state) which could be seen by few in the country. (We find it had effect in the town and in the counties adjacent.) In the next place, the aristocratic party in that state is considerable, and devoted to the nod of its leaders. And the very idea of Mr. Martin's being connected with the opposition, was sufficient to prejudice the tories (who are another considerable part of the state) in favor of the system; Mr. Martin being very unpopular among that class of citizens, owing to the office he holds. Thus the tories and aristocrats united, together with the wish of all to grant farther powers to Congress, the example of the other states in adopting the system, the industry of the advocates of it in circulating sophistical publications, and delusive and electioneering falsehoods among the people, and promising to recommend the necessary amendments with the adoption of it, procured the great majority they had in convention. And here again, they excluded all debate, fearing it would open the eyes of the deluded members: (does not this shew the badness of their cause?) and being thus deluded, we find that this body of men, as implicit to the direction of their leader (Mr. Henry) as the majority of our packed convention was to Mr. Wilson; and does not the conduct of these leaders fully shew the designs of the junto on the continent, who are endeavouring to take from us our liberties? Have they not been amusing us with an idea of procuring amendments, and that, like Massachusetts, the states should recommend amendments with the adoption? But has the convention of Maryland (alias M c Henry and his sticklers) recommended any amendments? No, they have not! This should teach those who have been annoyed with such fallacious hopes, that such ideas were only held out by the junto for the moment, to carry their point; and that, like the Maryland convention, our new Congress, once vested with unbounded sway, will never relinquish a single item, will never listen to the calls for amendments, or the least security of our rights and privileges, which are intended to be laid at their feet! No, while they have a military force to back their despotic decrees, they may laugh at the people? But it is to be hoped that this treachery in Maryland will be a lesson to the six remaining states, and teach them to reject and then amend. Secure our invaluable rights and liberties, and be not swayed by the insidious arts and practices of the designing, or the mercenary cries of the deluded! ye sons of Virginia, of the Carolinas, ye honest sons of New-Hampshire and New-York, the blood of thousands of your virtuous brethren, who fell in the late glorious cause of liberty, cry aloud to you, to preserve and hand down to your posterity those rights and privileges, in defence of which they fell martyrs!
A correspondent says, that there is now a fair opportunity of settling the prosperity and happiness of the United States, upon a permanent foundation. The state of Rhode-Island is now willing to accede to the five per cent. impost, demanded by Congress, and will also give the power of regulating commerce, with whatever shall be thought reasonable for the general interest of the country, provided there is no consolidation of the several states into one national government. If, therefore, the Congress will be content with what was at first demanded, we may be an united and flourishing people; we may pay off, before long, our foreign debt, establish our national credit at home, build a navy, raise and pay troops, whenever they shall be found necessary, for the land service, encourage emigration, promote agriculture, manufactures, arts and sciences, and rival the greatest powers of the globe. Whereas, if a spirit of pride and obstinacy should induce to force down the new constitution upon the people, R. Island perhaps will be supported in her opposition to it, by the greater part of the state of Massachusetts, by the people of New-Hampshire, by half the people of New-York, nor will the people in the back part of the state of Pennsylvania, be very ready to march to dragon the Rhode-Island men into compliance, whom they begin more and more to esteem. It is an eternal truth, which should be indelibly impressed upon our minds, that, "a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand."
ELIZABETH-TOWN, May 7.
The election of delegates to the convention of this state (says a North-Carolina paper) which is to meet at Hillsborough, on the third Monday in July, took place on Friday and Saturday last. The majority of the delegates who were elected, in almost every county from which we have been able to obtain a return, have promised that the preservation of the civil and religious rights and liberties of their fellow-citizens, declared and secured under our present government, would be the ruling principle of their conduct.
SPRINGFIELD, May 7.
On Thursday last came on before the honorable the justices of the supreme judicial court, at Northampton, the trial of Convas , for the murder of her bastard child. After a candid and impartial hearing, and there being the clearest evidence of her having committed the fact, the jury gave in their verdict "wilful murder!"—she accordingly received sentence of death.—Several other persons were convicted of high crimes, such as money making, forgery, &c.

To the Editor of the DAILY REGISTER.
SIR, As many of your readers must be interested in the subject of this letter, I flatter myself it will meet with a place in your paper, however faintly embellished by the communication of my sentiments upon it. I am led into the following observations by the conduct of those married women who make their husbands the objects of a peevish hauteur on every trifling occasion, as if they considered passion the only proof of spirit, and invincible obstinacy the criterion of true magnanimity: to obviate the evil by every means in their power, ought to be their peculiar care, being eminently conducive to their own immediate happiness, and eventually to that of society. Passion, and a fiery temper, weaken the attraction of every amiable quality and render even those to whom nature has been most profuse in personal accomplishment, at once the objects of admiration and disgust: no advantages can possibly be derived from the most elegant and fashionable education, when the mind is subject to the ascendancy of this unhappy temper, a temper which, though not less incompatible with every disposition that bespeaks true delicacy, than repugnant to the happiness of common life, too generally prevails. In contemplating the magnitude of this evil, it is entirely unimportant whether we consider it to proceed from inherent qualities and dispositions, or from acquired habits: maxims may be laid down for obviating the progress, without accurately deducing the principles. Whether it proceeds from nature or habit, is matter of curious speculation, rather than useful enquiry, and time will be more valuably employed and labour more usefully exerted in discovering safe expedients for decapitating this hydra-headed monster, than in metaphysical disquisitions into the nature of its existence. Good example has operated so successfully on dispositions of great natural malignity, which may tend to convince us that even innate propensities, though fostered and matured by time into habits, may be resisted by a willing and vigilant attention duly and judiciously applied.
"Quo semel est imbuta recens, servabit odorem Testa diu."
If domestic happiness claims the serious attention of married women, let them observe the necessity of inculcating habitua good humour as a social virtue, and the most effectual mean of promoting true felicity; by cautiously resisting the first impressions of disappointed ambition or wounds.
sensibility, equanimity is with little difficulty established and preferred; but if these impressions are indulged, their malignant influence is rapidly diffused, and when once rooted in the mind, no regimen can extirpate, no philosophy can appease. Let those, therefore (who have not even in due time attended to the cultivation of good humour) consider, ere too late, that a turbulent mind, which quarrels with every occurrence of life, and implicitly gives itself up to causeless petulance or unreasoning disgust, must for ever make them miserable.
The object of these hints is public utility, some of your readers may profit by them: impelled by the like motive, I shall take occasional opportunity of writing you on other subjects.

Just Published, And to be sold by R. Dodge, T. Allen, S. Camb- bells, J. Reid, and S. Loudon, booksellers, and by the printer hereof, AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters. The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully il- lustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his ap- peal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these addi- tional letters, is, to point out what these a- mendments ought to be, and to induce argu- ments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whe- ther these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be pre- pared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publica- tion is recommended.
J. Byles, Upholsterer, Respectfully informs the Public, And his Customers in particular, That he has REMOVED From No. 5, John-street, to No. 4, Water-street, next door but one to Mr. Loudon's Printing-office, WHERE HE Carries on his Business in its various Branches.

New-York RUM Of excellent Flavour and good Proof FOR SALE, By Charles Tillinghaft, At the DISTILLERY, near the New Market Cherry-Street, nearest to the ship-Yards.
To the Friends of Science.
IT has long been the universal wish, that the public might be furnished with an accurate Geographical and Topographical Grammar of the United States.
Geographers of foreign countries, not being possessed of the proper materials, and not equally interested in this part of their subject, have filled their accounts of these states with numerous inaccuracies. It is time these inaccuracies were corrected. We are independent of Great-Britain, and are no longer to look up to her for a description of our own country.
Several gentlemen of abilities, have, in detached pieces, gratified the public with ample and accurate descriptions of several parts of the United States; but no collective description of the whole has been attempted, except in a small duodecimo volume, published by the subscriber in 1784, which, though imperfect on account of the infant state of geographical knowledge in America, was well received by a candid public, and an edition of 1500 copies speedily sold.
This encouragement has determined him to publish again on the same subject. For the purpose of collecting more ample and accurate materials than he formerly possessed, he has travelled through all the states, and has been favoured with the communications of gentlemen well qualified to give information on so important a subject; and has likewise established a correspondence with several respectable characters in different states, from whom he has every reason to expect a valuable addition to the materials already collected; yet as all the information that can be obtained on a subject so extensive, varied and interesting, is greatly to be desired, and every man of science may have it in his power to contribute some observations which may be useful, the subscriber will feel himself particularly obliged to any gentleman who will be so kind as to furnish him with answers to all, or any of the annexed enquiries, viz.
1. The boundaries and extent of the several states, and the latitudes and longitudes of the principal places. 2. Descriptions of the rivers, their sources, courses, lengths, how far navigable, how high does the tide rise—and what fish do they produce. A description of mountains, lakes, harbours, capes, and bays. 3. General face of the country, an account of its animal, mineral, and vegetable productions, or its natural history. What are the evidences to support the opinion that the flat country in the southern and middle states was formerly occupied by the waters of the ocean, and that the land below the hills and mountains has been made since the flood. 4. Natural and artificial curiosities, caverns, cascades, &c. 5. State of commerce, manufactures and agriculture, exports and imports, balance of trade. The number of vessels which annually enter at the custom houses in the several sea ports of the United States. 6. Civil divisions of the several states, the number and names of the several districts, counties, and towns, their extent, latitude and longitude, number of inhabitants, and distance and bearing from the capital of the state. Particular descriptions of the principal towns are requested. 7. Population—from whence are emigrations, to what places, and how numerous. Of what nations are the inhabitants of the states composed or whence originated—proportion of the slaves. 8. Climate, diseases and their causes—longevity of the inhabitants—what proportion die in infancy. 9. Religion, number of churches of different denominations—by what methods are ministers supported. 10. State of the practice of law and physic. 11. Societies for the advancement of science and humanity. 12. State of literature, colleges, academies, schools and their funds. 13. Characters who have distinguished themselves in the late war by their patriotism. 14. An estimate of the damages sustained in the late war, in the several states. 15. A description of the adjacent Islands. 16. Manners, customs, diversions and dress. 17. Constitution, policy—general account of the laws—what political principles predominate in the several states. 18. Military and marine strength. 19. Public revenue and expences—mode of levying taxes. 20. Indians, their tribes, languages, numbers, characters and dispositions towards the United States. 21. The society of Cincinnati, their laws and influence and the nature and political tendency of their establishment. 22. History.
N. B. The subscriber wishes to avail himself of the advantage of all the most accurate maps, and detached geographical pieces, which have been published respecting the United States; and will thank any gentleman to inform him where they can be procured. Those gentlemen, who may be so obliging as to favor the above design, by communications, are requested to forward them to Messrs. R. Aitken, or W. Spotswood, Philadelphia; Messrs. Spotswood and Clarke, bookfellers, Baltimore; Rev. Mr. Keith, Alexandria; the honorable H. Williamson Edenton, North-Carolina; the honorable D. Ramsay, Messrs. Wright and Co. Charleston; the honorable A. Baldwin and Joseph Clay, Esquires, Georgia; Samuel S. Smith, D. D. Princeton, Mr. Loudon, Printer, New-York; and the Rev. Samuel Austin, or Jedidiah Morse, New-Haven.
* This enquiry is made for the purpose of collecting the proper materials for a Gazetteer of the United States, which makes a part of the general plan in view. It is obvious that a book of this kind, compiled from accurate information, would be exceedingly useful. This might easily be done if one well-informed gentleman, in each town would spend one half hour for the purpose. In this time the gentlemen might throw together every important circumstance relative to the towns at which they respectively reside.
with their names subscribed, and the places of their residence, that the author may have the pleasure of knowing to whom he is indebt for their friendly assistance. JEDIDIAH MORSE.
If the several Printers, in the United States, feel disposed to favor the above design, and will give this Advertisement a place in their respective papers for a few weeks, and will receive and forward to New-Haven, any communications which may be handed them by friends to the design, they may thereby contribute to the public good, and will peculiarly oblige their humble servant.

Remaining on Hand, And TO BE SOLD At this Printing-Office, No. 25, Water-Street, A Few MAPS,
Of the interior parts of North-America, including the lands intended for the NEW STATES, some of which are felling, and others already disposed of by order of Congress.
ORDERS are just received, by the printer here of, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it, with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, comprehending the rivers Ohio, Kenhawa, Sioio, Cheroke, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The climate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pit and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Patrick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY.
THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. some dying roots and medicinal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and numerous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more moderate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated—(but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, peas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hitherto been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits succeed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in different parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and extensive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkies, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here. New-York, Jan. 17, 1788. 99 e.d.
