TRAVELS IN GREECE. PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE TRAVELS OF Anacharsis the Younger, IN GREECE: During the middle of the fourth Century, before the Christian Era, With copious Notes and References. BY THE ABBE BARTHELEMY, Keeper of the Medals in the Cabinet of the King of France, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. Translated from the French. First American, from the fourth London edition IN FOUR VOLUMES.
THE work now offered to the American read- er exhibits a complete view of the antiquities, manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the peri- od of its greatest splendour. A knowledge of these has hitherto been only attainable by a labo- rious perusal of writers who have been little soli- citous to join entertainment with instruction. The Travels of Anacharsis , on the contrary, are so written, that the reader may frequently be induced to imagine he is perusing a work of mere amusement, invention, and fancy; till his eye glances to the bottom of the page, when he per- ceives there is scarcely a sentence, and not a single fact or circumstance, but is supported by the authority of some ancient author. The a- mazing number of these quotations may, perhaps, at first sight, seem to have been unnecessary, and to have more the appearance of a parade of erudition, than to be of any real utility: but it is to be remembered that, at the same time that they must be highly acceptable to the man of real learning, by enabling him to refer immediate- ly to the original author, they are extremely useful, nay, we may say, absolutely necessary, even to such readers as can never be supposed to have any intention to consult the authorities quot- ed; as they clearly show that such an illu- stration of a circumstance, is not merely a decoration, or the offspring of the fancy of the author, but immediately taken from some ancient writer, and therefore perfectly accordant to the general scope and plan of the work.
TERMS. I. The first Edition in America of Anacharsis's Travels , will be comprised in four Vols. octa- vo. II. It shall be printed on handsome wove paper and a new type casting for the purpose. Each Volume will contain about 400 pages. III. The price to Subscribers, per V. l. bound and lettered, will be 2 dollars; in boards, 1 dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume. The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per set. IV. There shall be a handsome Map of Greece given with the first Volume, to be executed by one of the best Engravers. V. Those who obtain ten Subscribers and be- come responsible for the payment of the same, shall receive one copy gratis. The work is now at Press, and shall be finished with all possible dispatch. Subscriptions to the above work received at Robert & John Gray's book Store, Alexandria.

SINGULAR LAW CASE.
TRIAL FOR BIGAMY. At a Court of Oyer and Terminer and Ge- neral Gaol delivery, held in the city of N- York, on the 22d June, 1804.  PRESENT, The hon. B. LIVINGSTON, Esq. J. B. PREVOST, Esq. Recorder, JACOB MORTON, Esq. Ald.
The People, versus  Thomas Hoag, alias dictus  Joseph Parker. The prisoner was indicted for, that he Thomas Hoag, late of Haverstraw, in the county of Rockland, labourer, otherwise called Joseph Parker, now of the city of New-York, captain, on the 8th of May, 1797, at the said city of New-York, was lawfully married to Susan Faesch, and the said Susan, then and there had for a wife, and that the said Thomas, alias &c. &c. &c. afterwards, to wit, on the 25th day of December, 1800, at the county of Rockland, his said wife being then in full life, feloniously did marry, and to wife did take one Catharine Secor, &c. &c. &c. To this the prisoner pleaded not Guil-
Mr. Riker, District Attorney, prosecut- ed on the part of the people: Washington, Morton, and Daniel D. Tompkins, Esqs. were of counsel for Prisoner.
The testimony in the cause was as fol- lows: The first marriage was admitted by the counsel for the prisoner, to be as stated in the indictment, and that the wife was still alive.  On the part of the Prosecution.
Benjamin Coe testified—that he was one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas, in the County of Rockland—that he well knew the prisoner at the bar, that he came to Rockland in the beginning of Sep- tember in the year 1800, and there passed by the name of Thomas Hoag, that there was a person with him who passed for his brother; but between those two persons there was no sort of resemblance, that the prisoner worked for the witness about a month, during which time he eat daily a witnesses table, and he of course saw him daily, that on the 25th day of December 1800, witness married the prisoner to one Catharine Secor, that witness is confident of the time because he recollected that on that very day, one of his own children was christened, that during all the time prisoner remained in Rockland county, witness saw him continually; he was therefore as much satisfied that prisoner was Thomas Hoag, as that he himself was Benjamin Coe.
John Knapp testified, that he knew the prisoner in 1800 and 1801, he was then in Rockland county, and passed by the name of Thomas Hoag, that he saw him cus- tomarily for five months, during the time the prisoner was at Rockland; that he was at prisoners wedding; that Hoag had a scar under his foot; the way that witness knew it, was: witness and Hoag were leaning together, and witness out-leaped Hoag— upon which Hoag remarked, that he could not leap as well now as he formerly could, before he received a wound in his foot by treading on a drawing knife; that Hoag then pulled off his shoes and shewed wit- ness the scar under his foot, occasioned by that wound; the scar was very perceptible, witness was confident prisoner at the bar, was Thomas Hoag.
Catharine Conklin [formerly Catharine Secor, but since married to one Conklin,] testified, that she became acquainted with prisoner in the beginning of September, 1800, when he came to Rockland; he then passed by the name of Thomas Hoag, that witness saw him constantly, that prisoner shortly after their acquaintance, paid his addresses to her and finally on the 25th December, married her; that he lived with her till the latter end of March 1801, when he left her; that she did not see him again until two years after, that on the morning of his leaving her, he appeared desirous of communicating something of importance to her, but was dissuaded from it by a per- son who was with him and who passed for his brother, that Hoag until his departure, was a kind, attentive and affectionate hus- band, that she was as well convinced as she could possibly be of any thing in this world that the prisoner at the bar was the person who married her by the name of Thomas Hoag, that she then thought him and still thinks him the handsomest man she ever saw. [Here the prosecutor rested the cause.]
DEFENCE.
Witness for prisoner, Joseph Chadwick testified that he had been acquainted with the prisoner, Joseph Parker, a number of years; that witness
resides in the city, is a rigger by trade—that prisoner worked in the employment of the witness a considerable time as a rigger; that prisoner began to work for witness in September 1799, and continued to work for him till the spring of 1801; that during that period he saw him constantly; that it appeared from witnesses books, that Park- er received money from witness for work, which he had performed on the following days, viz. on the 6th of October, and on the 6th and 13th December, 1800; on the 9th, 16th and 23th February, and 11th of March, 1801; that Parker lived from May 1800, till some time in April, 1801, in a house in this city belonging to captain Pe- lor; that during that period, and since, witness had been well acquainted with the prisoner.
Isaac Ryckman testified, that he was an inhabitant of this city; that he was well ac- quainted with Joseph Parker the prisoner at the bar, and had known him a number of years; that witness and Parker were jointly engaged in the latter end of the year 1800, in loading a vessel for captain Tred- well, of this place; that they began to work on the 20th day of December, 1800, and were employed the greatest part of the month of January, 1801, in the loading of the vessel; that during that time the wit- ness and Parker worked together daily; that witness well recollected they worked together on the 25th day of December, 1800; he remembered it, because he ne- ver worked on a Christmas day before or since; he knew that it was in the year 1800, because he knew that Parker lived that year in a house belonging to captain Pelor, and he remembered their borrowing a screw for the purpose of packing cotton in the hold of the vessel they were at work on, from a Mrs. Mitchill, who lived next door to Parker; that witness was one of the city watch, and that Parker was also at that time upon the watch; and witness had served with him from that time to the pre- sent day upon the watch, and never recol- lected missing him any time during that period from the city.
Aspinwall Cornwall testified, that he lived in Rutger-street, and had lived there a number of years; that he kept a grocery store; that he knew Parker, the prisoner at the bar, in 1800, and 1801; that Parker then lived in captain Pelor's house; that he only lived one year in capt. Pelor's house, and that Parker while he lived there traded with witness; that witness recollected once missing Parker for a week, and on enquir- ing, found he had been at Staten Island at work on board one of the United States frigates, that excepting that time, he ne- ver knew him to be absent from his family, but saw him constantly.
Elizabeth Mitchell testified, that she knew Parker, the prisoner at the bar well; that in the year 1800, and 1801, Parker lived in a house adjoining to one in which the witness lived; that the house Parker lived in, belonged to capt. Pelor; that wit- ness was in habits of intimacy with Parker's family, and visited them constantly; that Parker being one of the city watch she used to hear him rap with his stick at the door to awaken his family, upon his return from the watch in the morning; that she also remembered perfectly well Parker's borrowing a screw from her on Christmas day in 1800, she offered him some spirits to drink, but he preferred a glass of wine, which she got for him, the circumstance of her lending the screw to him, she was the more positive of, from recollecting, also that it was broken by Parker in using it; that Parker never lived more than one year in capt. Pelor's house, and from that time to the present day, witness had been on the same terms of intimacy with Parker's fami- ly, she therefore considered it as almost impossible that Parker could have been ab- sent from town any time without her know- ing it, and she never knew him to be ab- sent more than one week while he lived at Pelor's house.
James Redding testified, that he had liv- ed in the city a number of years; that he had known Parker the prisoner at the bar, from his infancy; that Parker was born at Rye, in Winchester county; that Parker in the year 1800, lived in captain Pelor's house; that witness saw him then continu- ally, and never knew him during that time to be absent from town any length of time; that witness particularly remembered, that while Parker lived in captain Pelor's house, witness sometime in the beginning of the month of January 1801, assisted Parker in killing a hog.
Lewis Osborn testified, that he had been acquainted with Parker the prisoner at the bar for the last four years; that witness had been one of the city watch; that from June 1800, to May 1801, Parker served upon the watch with witness; that at first Parker served as a substitute, that is, one
who in case of the absence of a regular watchman supplies his place; that witness remembered that Parker a few days after Christmas, in 1800, was placed upon the roll of the regular watch, in the place of one Ransom who was taken sick; witness was certain it was in the period above men- tioned, because that was the only time ever witness served on the watch; that during the above period witness and Parker were stationed together while on the watch at the same post; witness was certain that Parker, the prisoner at the bar, was the person with whom he had served on the watch, and was confident, that during that time, Parker was never absent from the watch more than a week at any one time; (the prisoner's counsel here rested his de- fence.)
(To be continued.)
From the REGISTER.
AMONG the various acts of folly and incapacity committed by our government and its ministers, few have afforded juster grounds for reprehension, than the outrage offered to the government of a neutral and friendly nation, by our ambassador in France.
Whether we contemplate Mr. Living- ston's meanness in crouching to those by whom he has been uniformly treated with insult and contempt—his folly in commit- ting the peace of his nation to gratify an animosity as childish as it is vindictive—or his injustice in uttering the foulest & most indecent accusations against a people with whom it is our interest to remain at peace —Our sense of the impropriety is equal- ly strong, and our condemnation of the measure ought to be equally unreserv- ed.
The first question which naturally occurs on reading his letter is, was it necessary? Even supposing the guilt of Great-Britain established, was it necessary that the A- MERICAN MINISTER should pass sentence on her.
When was Mr. Livingston constituted an arbiter of the laws and usages of nations. In what school of diplomacy has he acquired even the experience to judge of them? and by whom has he been invested with the right to decide on them? will it be pretend- ed that the formation of an opinion on this subject appertained to his office as a neu- tral minister of peace? in such a character is he to designate the rights of belligerent powers—and was he sent to France for the purpose of joining in a paper warfare against Great Britain?
The usual duties attached to a diploma- tic station neither require nor admit of such conduct. The representatives of a neutral nation are bound to maintain their neutra- lity, not only in their public acts, but in the official declaration of their opinions, and if they attack the reputation, or assail the na- tional honor of a people they afford a just and legitimate cause of war.
If the measure was not necessary, let us ask whether under these circumstances which led to it, it was just.
Did Mr. Livingston in his judicial ca- pacity ever give judgment on the repre- sentation of one party only? Has not his knowledge of English laws so far taught him the principles of justice, as to have informed him, that no opinion ought to be formed till both parties are heard and ex- amined. The letters of Mr. Drake might have been forgeries, the plot itself a farri- cation, and the whole a mere manoeuvre of Bonaparte's to justify or excuse his own conduct. Yet Mr. Livingston taking all that was asserted as "proved," or what is pretty much the same thing, as "indi- cated," exceeds even the malignity of Talleyrand in his insolence and outrage. But even on the papers before him, his censures were unjust and unfounded.
There is not a syllable in the whole cor- respondence of Mr. Drake, which warrants the charge of intended assassination.— There are indeed some metaphorical ex- pressions which the malignant ingenuity of our ministerial papers have tortured in- to such a construction; but they are all most evidently applied to the dethrone- ment, and not to the personal destruction of Bonaparte. Besides the British govern- ment have explicitly denied and with spirit resented the charge, and it now lies upon their accusers to prove it. This they have not pretended to do.
The other part of the accusation which Mr. Livingston dwells on with so much pleasure, viz: that Mr. Drake had violated the rules prescribed for the conduct of di- plomatic men, shews an equal ignorance of history and of public law.
Did Mr. Drake stand in any other rela- tion to France than as an Englishman? Was he known to her in his official capac- ity; and where is the writer on jurispru- dence who pretends that a minister so situated

ated is not at liberty to use every endeavor for his nation's safety, which any other of his countrymen may resort to.
Is there then the least doubt that it is lawful and consistent with the very nature of war to disable your enemy from attacking you, by directing his attention to the safety of his own government.
Did not France pursue the same policy with regard to Great Britain in the succour she granted to this country in our revolutionary war; and has there been a revolution in Europe for centuries in which her agency has not been most effective, sometimes in secret, and sometimes in open hostility.
As has been observed by Lord Hawkesbury, has she not openly and secretly maintained a correspondence with the Rebels in Ireland. In her public proclamations promised them assistance, in every mode which her ingenuity could devise; furnished them with money and arms, and exerted all her endeavours for enabling them to subvert their government?
Was it not by her secret and open agency that the pretenders to the British throne were enabled to excite two insurrections in Great Britain, and to keep that nation in alarm for near a century.
In the history of France she will scarcely be found in war before her money and intrigue are found to subvert the governments of her antagonists.
In fine there cannot be a reflecting man of any political denomination who will not acknowledge that Mr. Livingston's letter has grossly compromised our government was a vindictive and outrageous insult upon the British government, and is calculated to engage us in a contest in which we have no sufficient interest; and in which we should be exerting our efforts to oppress and destroy that nation whom it is our best policy to invigorate and support.
NEW-YORK, July 7.
A gentleman at New Orleans, who is in a situation which gives him an opportunity of being well acquainted with the commercial and political interests of that province, gives to his friend in this city in a letter dated the 4th June, the following interesting information:
"You know I presume that we claim Mobile as a part of the cession from France. Spain objects to this; and being in power there, exact from us the ancient duties. Congress however have passed an act for this part of the province, as if they were without apprehension that their right to do so would be disputed. The governor-general, who resides at Pensacola, has seen this act, and it has excited much alarm, and ill temper. I saw last night a translation of his letter to Governor Claiborne on the subject, to be forwarded to the president of the United States, in which he assumes a bold tone, and says he views our conduct as a serious violation of the treaty; and of the harmony that ought to subsist between the two governments. He adds that he feels it his duty to resist with force of arms every such violation, he then endeavours to shew by a variety of arguments, that we have no right to that country, and hopes the president will be satisfied on due consideration that he (the governor) is correct in his opinion, and that the president will take measures to abandon a claim so unfounded: but if not, and if the American government persist in the exercise of legislative and executive control over that country, however painful the alternative, he shall use the force entrusted to him to repel with arms every such unjust encroachment."
How this disagreeable business will end, I know not. On the truth of the facts you may place the most implicit confidence. The translation of the letter is attested by the interpreter to the government; and I expect will soon be published in your papers from the proper authority."
Arrived brig Lapwing. Bourne, in 16 days from Curraoa. Left brig Mary, Monteith, to sail in 4 or 5 days for Philadelphia; schooner Wallis, of do. to sail next day for St. Jago de Cuba; two British Frigates were off the harbour of Curraoa one of which captured the brig Hound, Fuller, from Curraoa, for New-York, and a Philadelphia schooner and ordered them for Jamaica. Captain B. was boarded off the Hook by the English Frigate Boston and treated politely.
BALTIMORE, June 8.
Arrived, schooner Lucy Ann, Johns, 14 days from St. Johns, Porto-Rico. Left there 23d June, brig Shark, Wright of Baltimore, uncertain, sch'r Only Daugh-ter of New-York, bound to Iccward, and a schooner of Norfolk name unknown.
Spoke nothing on the passage. About 16th of June while at St. Johns a brig belonging to New-York, with 280,000 weight of coffee, from Port-au-Prince for New-York, was carried into St. Johns, by a French privateer, it was supposed the brig's crew all but the supercargo were taken on board the privateer. The supercargo was strictly confined and not allowed to have any communication with the schooner; neither the vessel, captain nor supercargo's names could be learned, they were allowed by the Governor 10 days to refit, during which time they smuggled the whole of the cargo, and sailed, it was said with the intention of sinking the brig. The brig Amiable, Creole, of New-York, was captured about the same time with a large quantity of coffee on board from Port-au-Prince, together with the brig Hoppet of Newbern, N. C. with rum from Tobago; the captain used very ill and robbed of every thing to the shirt on his back, one of the Hoppet's crew named Urgent is on board the Lucy Ann. The schooner Regular, of and from Philadelphia, loaded with provisions; a sloop for New-York and a pilot boat schooner, names unknown, were all brought into the same place, soon after the Hoppet, and their cargoes smuggled ashore as soon as possible after their arrival.
Also arrived, brig Sophronia Phillips, from Boston; and schooner Mars, Ramson, from Washington, N. C.
CHARLESTON, July 2.
Extract from the Protest of David Patterson, late master of the American brig Lydia, of Charleston, captured on the 23rd May last, by the French privateer sch'r Chasseur, captain Le Roy, and carried into Barracoa.
"That they were informed by the French capt. and lieutenant that, in their presence, Ramoncot of the schooner Example, inhabitant of Charleston, observed, that he was surprised the French should fetch any American prisoners into port, for that we they to throw them all overboard, the government of the United States would notice it;" to which captain Le Roy replied, "that though he is a privateersman, he is still possessed of some honour, and did not go in quest of lives, but of property, which was all he wanted."
"That they were also informed that the above observation was made in the presence of the Governor and of the officers of the privateer Chasseur, from whom they demanded a certificate thereof, which they declined, saying, "that it might have a dangerous tendency towards them, as the Governor was a very particular friend of the said Ramon Cot."
We, the subscribers, lately arrived in this city from Barracoa, do hereby certify that we were present when capt. Patterson received the above information, and that the account of it, as stated in the preceding extract is just and true.
Given under our hands at Charleston in the state of South Carolina, this 28th day of June 1804.

Extract from a letter received this morning from Philadelphia, dated July 7.
"Our terrors are already excited about the Yellow Fever. It is unquestionably in N. York, and the avenues to our city are so various that I think it will be impossible to prevent its introduction here."
Captain Stiles arrived at Philadelphia from Havanna, informs, the Spanish government are taking such steps to prevent the French picarous fitting out privateers from that Island, or bringing prizes into it, that he is of opinion, the business of privateering will be much cramped, if not totally stopped, from the Island of Cuba.

Proclamation.
WHEREAS there is reason to believe that a malignant fever now prevails in several of the West-India islands, and as it has moreover been deemed expedient to prohibit the admission of vessels into this port whose cargoes may consist wholly, or in part, of articles liable to putrefaction, until the same shall have been inspected by the Superintendent of Quarantine—I do therefore, with the advice of the Common Council, hereby declare the law for the regulation of quarantine at the port of Alexandria, to be in complete force and operation from and after the date of these presents: And I do most solemnly enjoin all masters and pilots having the command of vessels coming from any of the said islands, as well as of vessels coming from any other foreign port, whose cargoes may consist wholly, or in part, of substances susceptible of putrefaction, to bring such ves-
sels to anchor at the place assigned for the performance of quarantine, and when there to conform strictly with all the duties and restraints required by the said law.
In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand as Mayor of the town of Alexandria, and affixed the seal of my office the 10th day of July, in the year one thousand eight hundred and four.

ANDREW.
A reward of Thirty Dollars is offered to any person for apprehending and securing the said fellow in any jail out of the state, so that I get him again—Twenty Dollars if secured in like manner within the district of Columbia, or at the distance of 40 miles from home, and Ten Dollars, with reasonable charges if brought home, or secured in the jail of Fairfax or Loudoun. Andrew absconded on the night of the 7th instant; he is a bright Mulatto, about 27 years of age, rather low of stature, squat and thick made, broad shoulders, and short dark hair; has one or more scars on his back from a scald when young; wore when he went away, a ticklenburg shirt, a pair of nankeen overalls, striped silk jacket, a hat and pair of old shoes, and of late wore suspenders; he is fond of liquor and much addicted to gaming, forward and assuming, very artful, and will attempt to pass for a free white man. He is a good cook and washer, understands business about a house as a water, and will probably offer himself as such; he is also a good mower, and is capable of other plantation work. He has a free mother in Georgetown, and I suspect he may for a time endeavour to secrete himself there or about the neighbourhood. A Mulatto man by the name of Ned belonging to Mr. Thos. Blincoc, of Loudoun county, was missing the next day, and it is supposed they are gone off together. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harbouring or carrying off the above slave.

Ned absconded on the 8th inst. He is a dark Mulatto, about 24 or 25 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, well made, has a down lock, wore when he went away, a country made tow linen shirt, ohaburg trowsers, coarse hat and old shoes. It is supposed that he and Dr. Belt's Andrew, who ran away the evening before, are together.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber's farm, in the county of Alexandria, district of Columbia, a Mulatto man called NATT COOK, about 6 feet high, between 35 and 40 years of age, long hair, which he wears tied, a lock of white hair on the front of his head, a little to the left, a cooper by trade; he has several scars on his arms and wrists, a scar on his back occasioned by a scald, and several marks from a whip; he is very fond of drink and gambling; he took with him a variety of clothes and some cooper's tools. He crossed the Potomac at Georgetown a few days since, and will probably make for Baltimore, as he has been very anxious for some time past to go to sea. I will give the above reward for securing said fellow in any jail, so that I get him again, or thirty dollars, with reasonable charges if brought home. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned harbouring, employing or caring off said fellow at their peril.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen,
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders,  Consumptions,  Lowness of spirits,  Impurity of the blood,  Hysterical affections,  Inward weakness,  Seminal weakness,  Fluor albus, (or whites)  Barrenness,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Indigestion,  Melancholy,  Gout in the stomach,  Pains in the limbs,  Relaxations,  Involuntary emissions,  Obstinate gleet,  Impotency, &c. &c. 
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment for cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily makes oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence on the contrary, particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and one or two mild purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description and the symptoms of Worms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excellent thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurious but upon close inspection quit repleed with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health; and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN MOLTHER.

ILLUSTRATIONS
OF
MASONRY.
By Wm. Preston, Past Master of the Lodge of Antiquity, acting by immemorial Constitution. The 8th American—from the tenth London edition.
THIS tract is divided into four Books. In the first book, the excellency of Masonry is displayed. In the second book, the general plan of the subjects treated in three degrees, is illustrated with occasional remarks, and a brief description is given of the ancient ceremonies of the Order. This part of the treatise, which the author considers the most essential for the instruction and improvement of his brethren, is considerably extended, in the present Edition. The third book contains the copy of a curious old manuscript on Masonry, with annotations, the better to explain this authentic document of antiquity. The fourth book is referred to the history of Masonry from its first appearance in England, in the course of which are introduced the most remarkable occurrences of the Society both at home and abroad, with some account of the principal patrons and protectors of the fraternity at different periods. The progress of Masonry on the continent as well as in India and America, is also stated, while the proceedings of the brethren of Scotland particularly claim attention. Throughout the whole are interspersed several explanatory notes, containing some useful information. To this book many considerable additions are made, particularly the last section, which brings down the history of Masonry from the grand feast in 1795 to the end of the year 1800; and contains, among other interesting particulars, a few general remarks on some late publications against the Society of Free Masons.
