ON EDUCATION.
No. XV.
It would be a desirable circumstance, if people, of an atrociously vicious charac- ter, might have no children to corrupt by their influence and example. Happy it is for a commonwealth, when such morbid members are not in a situation to transmit and perpetuate their vices, through a line of posterity. A predominant viciousness of disposition and conduct, in parents, is like poison cast into a fountain, that can- not fail to corrupt the streams, which flow from it. The condition, in which the children of such parents are placed, is most lamentable. They draw in contagion with their infant breath; and from the fountain of their lives they suck the poison of asps. It is recorded in sacred history, concerning Ahaziah, who was a very de- praved prince and a scourge to the people over whom he reigned, that "his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly; and no wonder it is, that he "drank iniquity like water," when the poisoned cup had been thus presented to his infant lips by the mother that bare him. Similar instances are not uncommon in the history of human depravity. In every age, and almost in every country, there have been some parents, who, if not by the express counsel of their lips, yet by the flagitious example of their lives, have depraved their children and trained them up to ruin; and in proportion to the number of such pa- rents, there is danger of the loss of liberty in a free state.
Both reason and experience bear witness that the permanent existence of freedom a- mong any people essentially depends on the general prevalence of public and private virtue. Unless this water of life replenish its roots and invigorate its branches, the sacred tree of liberty will soon wither and die. If the great mass of a people become deeply corrupted, vain would be the ef- ficacy of charters of rights and the best systems of government, for the security and perpetuation of their privileges.— Though a political constitution might be sent them from Heaven, and angels in human form might administer it, such a corrupted people could not remain either free or happy. In this view, the public interest is essentially affected by the man- ner in which parents train up their child- ren: because every family that is brought up in idleness and vice, is to the nation, like a polluted stream, flowing into a common reservoir, and which tends to corrupt the whole mass. Therefore, as the education of children, as well under the domestic roof as in schools, is a cir- cumstance upon which the national interest is deeply staked, it is a proper subject of legislation, and requires the vigilant at- tention of government.
In the most famous among the ancient republics, this subject was deemed a na- tional concern, and of primary importance; inasmuch that their venerable sages, le- gislators, and magistrates were deeply engaged in establishing efficient laws and regulations for the education of all classes of children, agreeable to their ideas of virtue, and according to the geniuses of their respective governments: and there is much cause to doubt whether republican freedom can long subsist among any people, whose government neglects this all impor- tant point. It is devoutly to be wished that the government of the United States might be vested with power to raise a per- manent fund, amply sufficient for the edu- cation of the children of the poor. The hand would deserve to be withered, that should be held up in opposition to a mea- sure so conducive to the national interest, as well as necessary to the welfare and usefulness of a vast number of the rising generation.
The concurrent voice of necessity and humanity require, also, that the govern- ment should possess and faithfully exercise the power of removing children even from their parents when they are bringing them up in idleness and vice; when they are debasing their morals by their own ex- ample, and evidently conducting them in the road to ruin. The rising generation is the property, or stock, of the whole na- tion; and though parents are the natural guardians of their children, they forfeit, and ought to lose the right of guardian- ship over them, if they habitually and notoriously abuse this important trust.— In such desperate cases, the nation is bound to interfere; in order to rescue its young and helpless members from perdit- ion, and to prevent the general contami-
nation of morals and manners, which would eventually issue in the loss of liber- ty and the dissolution of the body politic. The removing of children from such un- natural parents, as totally neglect their education, or corrupt their morals by the daily profligacy of their own example, and the placing of them under the care of discreet and benevolent guardians, who would faithfully see to their instruction, would be to them the greatest of kind- nesses. Thousands and tens of thousands might thus be rescued from wretchedness and ruin, and be rendered intelligent in- dustrious and useful members of society; to which they would, otherwise, be a burthen and a pest.

POLITICAL REVIEW.
No. I.
THE war of arms is at an end: The war of the custom house has commenced between France and England. More than ever their policy relates to the concerns of other powers; and the consequences of their competition will shew, that the same act, which has given peace to themselves has scattered the seeds of discord among their neighbors. To lessen the commerce of England will be to lessen her power. Bonaparte, will, therefore, try all the means that his policy can employ to make his rival defenceless before he forces her to be hostile.
It is not clear that the people of Eng- land were willing any longer to prosecute the war; but it is now unquestionably clear, that it was their great ultimate in- terest to pursue it. Peace has brought with it no new resources, it has dried up those which spring up with a state of war: for war makes many of its own means. Peace divides the commerce that war gave to her entire. Her enemies, who lately did not own a ship, are now England's competitors. The business was to destroy, now it is to produce and to fabricate. They want less; they supply more. They diminish her means, and they recruit their own. England looks at the peace with mingled shame and dread. Shame, because she is already degraded in the eyes of strangers if not in her own. With dread for France has gained new power, & shews her old ambition.
It is childish to say, that Mr. Pitt ought to have proceeded with the war, if he un- derstood the position of things. He un- derstood it, but it is alledged, and per- haps it is true, that the British nation preferred present ease, which they expect- ed, and have failed of realising by peace, to the glory, the burdens and the distant ultimate security of war. We Ameri- cans choose to say, and we are vain glo- rious enough to believe, that the people are not counted for any thing any where except in America. The truth is, the voice of the nation, when it conveys its wisdom or its deliberate mistakes, is more sure to penetrate audibly and with effect the recesses of St. James's than those of Monticello. The British nation was weary of the war, and therefore it ended. Peace will present an aspect of danger, which its courage will not be summoned to face. The only question is; whether, on viewing its formidable consequences, its policy will be able to surmount or e- lude them. A nice problem it is.—Ame- rica is infinitely interested in its favorable solution.
When we behold France with a power so vast as to excite and enable her to un- dertake almost every thing, and a spirit still more romantic and vast to prompt her to achieve impossibilities, we are led to think of - new roman empire, under which the civilized world is first to bleed and then to sweat in chains. We see again Rome, after the first punic war; and alas, we see Europe without a Hannibal, unless we look for him in England's Nelson or Smith. The little states are nothing; they are slaves paid by titles for hewing wood and drawing water. The King of Prussia, tho' powerful, is no Philip; he is only an Ar- talus or Eumenes, under France. Spain has nothing of an independent monarchy but the name. As to Holland, Switzer- land and Cisalpine or Italian republics, they are republics during pleasure; they are sovereign, as Deiotarus or Ariarthes or Prussis were, to tame them for subjec- tion. They are new recruits for the French republic, committed first to the drill serjeant, before they are turned into the ranks. They will be cudgelled if they prove refractory. They will be made to obey like slaves, and yet to say and to
swear, on occasion, that they are free sovereign and independent, as may best suit the ambitious policy of France. Old Rome was too cautious and too much in earnest in her plan, to make a conquered people her subjects at once. She gave them a king or made them a pretty little sung republic, till every man was dead and gone who was born and educated in inde- pendence. Her bitter drugs were all given in honey. So it is with France. Europe has no longer any minor powers. They are swallowed up by France. Her cita- blishment in Louisiana, which, tho' cer- tain, is delayed only to choose the moment when it will be most fatal to us, will con- vince even America that distance is no pro- tection. The plagues of Egypt will be in our bosoms and in our porridge pots. Our pity or our folly has made us weep or wonder at the events of Europe. We have had our spasm when we saw distress and disease abroad. We are doomed by fate to scratch with a mortal leprosy of our own. Ghazi, by accepting bribes is finit- ten with Naaman's pestilence. Our go- vernment has little force, and since the de- plorable 4th March, 1801, less than ever to defend Kentucky and Tennessee from the arms of France. Soon or late they will fall victims to their arts. In spirit and policy we are Dutchmen; we are to lose our honor and our safety, and the econo- mical statesman, whom the wrath of Hea- ven has placed at our head, will enquire what are they worth in shillings. Every penny of their folly will cost a pound.
But says Job's comforters, France is a republic, and of course a sister republic will not only find friendship but security in the aggrandizement of France. Mis- erable comforters are all these! Before this boasted revolution Europe had many free republics. Alas! they are no more. France, proclaiming war against palaces, has waged it against commonwealths, Switzerland, Holland, Geneva, Venice, Lucca, Genoa are gone, and the wretch- ed Batavian, Helvetian and Italian repub- lics, are but the faint images, the spec- tres that haunt the sepulchres where they rot. So far has France been from paying exclusive regard to republics that she has considered them not as associates but as victims. Venice she sold to the emperor, Holland she taxed openly for her own wants, till she drove her rich men into banishment. She "ransomed Dutch li- berty" with a vengeance, "from the hands of the opulent," so far she took council from the Worcester Farmer; or he from her admired example. From Switzerland she drained her youth to be food for gun powder. This is not all. But the king of Etruria is tricked out in purple robes, like a play house monarch, to tread the stage in mock dignity. The proud Spaniard finds for France gold and dollars, and for that proof of "civility" he is treated as head servant in Bonaparte's kitchen. So, but to favour kings, and to depress, plunder and destroy republics, has been the fore and experienced conse- quence of French domination.
Let the ignorant hirelings of France prattle about the cause of liberty! Let them repeat the second million of times the silly lie, that we triumph with France. Her triumphs are terrible. A voice seems to issue from the tomb of the fallen repub- lics for our warning. Our citizens are warned though our government is not, and they should be armed. France or fate did not ordain that we should be disarm- ed and defenceless.

PIRATES.
By captain Johnson, got the American sloop Africa, from New-York, who ar- rived on the 13th instant, we are informed, that on the 2d in the evening, in lat. 32, lon. 70, he saw an armed ship bearing down on him, but as she made no signals he kept on his course. In the night, how- ever, he found that the said ship had dog- ged him, and was close on board. He was hailed from her immediately, but their language was unintelligible. He an- swered he was from New-York, bound to New Providence. Captain Johnson perceived, by some movements on board the ship, that they meant to fire into him; which they did several times, so as to da- mage his sails and rigging. He made an appearance of surrendering his vessel, and hoisted out his boat, and sent her off to- wards the ship; but in the mean time ha- ving repaired his rigging, he took advan- tage of some confusion on board of the ship, and made sail, having first taken in the people from the boat. From superior sailing, and the darkness of the night,

captain Johnson escaped. The privateer is a black looking ship, with eight ports of a side.

Accounts from St. Domingo, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, represent that Colony as being once more in a state of general insurrection, the negroes having risen throughout the whole interior, and commenced the repetition of those outrages which have heretofore rendered St. Domingo a scene of devastation and horror.
The insurgents are treated with the greatest severity wherever they happen to fall into the power of the French troops: but the number of the latter is too insignificant to contend effectually with the former; and it is conjectured that on the failure of the reinforcement of a division of 12,000 men (which was daily expected though without any certainty as to the probable time of its arrival) St. Domingo will either be entirely lost to France, or remain to be conquered a second time. At present the seaports are considered as the only places of safety.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21.
Extract of a letter from a person of great respectability in Nassau, N. Providence, dated October 1, 1802, to a merchant in Philadelphia.
"There being a quantity of large grain salt laying at Exuma, the inhabitants have caused printed directions to be struck off for vessels bound there from Windward. Permit me to trouble you with one of them and to request you will make it as public as possible."
Directions for vessels bound from the southward to Exuma Salt Pond, situated to the eastward of the Port and Harbor of Exuma, from which it is distant between 3 and 4 leagues.
FROM the Bird Rock (the Northern Extremity of Crooked Island) to the North End of Long Island, the Course is N. W. distance 25 leagues. Give this a good Birth, say one or two Miles on account of two Reefs (easily distinguished) which extend from the two Points of the North End. From hence hawl up S. W. by S. This course will bring you on Soundings, when you will see Hog Key and Little Exuma, on both of which are Settlements. There are several Rocks or small Keys ranging with the Coast, these may be kept close aboard. When you see the Houses distinctly, hoist your Colours, and a Boat will be sent out to bring the vessels to the Anchorage at the Pound. The Pound is to the East of Pigeon Key, and Pigeon Key bears from the North End of Long Island, due S. W. and by W. distant 9 leagues.
Stocking Island, which forms the Harbour of Exuma, is distinguishable by a Beacon on the Eminence, and this is about 5 or 6 miles to the Westward of the Eastern Entrance of the Harbour. The East Side of Long Island, is a bold shore, and wholly free from reefs and sunken rocks. If you go round the North end of Long Island towards evening, it may frequently be advisable to come to an Anchor, to avoid the effects of currents, during the night, which may easily be done on very good Ground, after doubling round the North end, any where under the lee of the land for several miles along shore. In this case, the eye must direct you, the Water being perfectly clear, and the water visible.
The following courses and distances are subjoined, as they may at times be serviceable, and the Charts are not to be depended on.
From Bird Rock to south End of Long Island, W. 11 Leagues.
From Rum Key to North End of Long Island, W. 7 or 8 leagues.
From Little Island, to North End of Long Island, S. W. 4 leagues.
From Bird Rock to Rum Key, N. N. W. 16 Leagues.
From Rum Key to Watling's Island, N. E. 6 or 7 Leagues.
The printers in our commercial towns are requested to insert the above.
[CIRCULAR.]
TUNIS, July 9, 1802.
SIR, On the 7th inst. the American brig Franklin, Capt. Andrew Morris, was brought into Biferta, a port in this regency, prize to a corsair of Tripoli. She was bound from Marseilles to St. Thomas, laden with wine, oil, soap, silks, perfumery, hats, &c. on account of Messrs. Summerl and Brown, of Philadelphia, and captured off Cape Malos. Yesterday the brig and cargo were put up at public auction in this city; but the master and crew, nin ein all, are destined for Tripoli!
I have official information that there are five Tripoline corsairs out. I request you will make this letter circular, that our Consuls on the Mediterranean coast, may prevent, within their precincts, all American merchantmen from putting to sea without convoy. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
(Signed) WILLIAM EATON. Wm. Y. Parviance, Esq. agent for the navy of the U. S. in the Mediterranean, at Leghorn.
Extract of a letter from the southward to a gentleman in Charleston, dated the 3d inst.
"We began to pick cotton as early as our neighbours, and to gin also; but we were soon obliged to knock off both, owing to the seasons. The cotton seed is so soft, and broke so bad, that we must wait until it dries better; but have had no weather fit since. The pease sprout in the fields, and the cotton seed in the holes—prospects are discouraging, for high winds and wet weather prevents the cotton from opening as it ought, and hurt the fields much. Our neighbours are not better off. I have all your hands on both places lopping and heaping the new grounds, for nothing can be done with cotton yet in the field or gin house. The pease have suffered very much."
Extract of a letter from Leghorn, dated Aug. 1st. inclosing the above circular to a gentleman in Philadelphia.
"There wants nothing to render the navigation of the Mediterranean as safe for Americans as for the commercial nations of Europe, but from 8 to 10 small well armed vessels, which would soon drive those lawless barbarians off the surface of the sea; Such has always been our opinion, and we are pleased to see it corroborated by the testimony of our experienced friend, Mr. Eaton, in his private correspondence with us."

EXHIBITION
On FRIDAY EVENING, At the SPREAD EAGLE Ball Room.
John Rannie, Respectfully informs the Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexandria and its vicinity, that for a short time only he has it in his power to display his
Various Entertainments to the inhabitants of this city.
Act I. Mr. Rannie will exhibit a great variety of astonishing ARTS and EXPERIMENTS and real power of attraction by the Magical Sword. This part of the performance in former days was called
WITCHCRAFT,
And having connivance with familiar Spirits, but Mr. Rannie will clearly demonstrate and shew the explanations of those Stratagems in such a manner that the audience is capable of giving an explanation against all false reports which has univerrally alarmed the world. All is deception and experiments.
Act II. New arts of a ballance master. Act III. The singular and real power of
VENTRILOQUISM
this extraordinary gift which cannot be acquired, has been allowed amongst the enlightened characters to be very miraculous curiosity. We have no accounts of any VENTRILOQUISTS, but three since the woman of Endor, which in former days was called a real Witch.
Act IV. Most wonderful imitations of various BIRDS and BEASTS. Mr. R. by his powers to this day, has caused people to throw away their dead pigs, and fish, and caused men to unload cart-loads of hay, suspecting that they heard the voice of a child smothering among the hay.
Mr. Rannie creditably informs the public, that if it was not in an age and in a country less enlightened, he doubts not but great part of his performance would be counted supernatural but perhaps neither nature, nor art, may produce the like again in several centuries.
Doors to be opened at 6 o'clock and the Performance to begin at 7.—Tickets to be had at the place of Performance. No Segars to be smoked in the room. Oct. 21.
Twenty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the Subscriber, a very black Negro Boy named SPENCER, between fifteen and sixteen years of age, remarkably likely and active, has a penetrating eye, and is perhaps one of the most artful fellows of his age, black or white, in Virginia, he was seen making for Alexandria, where it is supposed he is now lurking somewhere about the wharves or somebody's kitchen.
Also, Negro JAMES, a small black fellow, of thin village, very active, intelligent and artful, and will probably change his name. He was seen making for George-Town, where he said it was his intention to go on board some vessel, which he probably has done either there or at this place. The above Reward will be paid to any person who will secure the above Negroes in the jail of Alexandria, or Ten Dollars for either, on application to Peter Heiskell, at the Washington Tavern, Alexandria.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING AN AMERICAN EDITION OF BLACKSTONE'S COMMENTARIES With Notes of Reference to the CONSTITUTION and LAWS of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of the UNITED STATES, and of the COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA: With an appendix to each volume, containing tracts upon such subjects as appeared necessary to form a systematic view of the laws of Virginia as a member of the federal union.
BY ST. GEORGE TUCKER, Professor of law in the College of William and Mary, and one of the Judges of the General Court, in Virginia.
THE PROPOSED EDITION WILL CONTAIN
I. An Introduction, or Preface. II. NOTES on such parts of the Commentaries as treat on subjects which relate to correlative powers, delegated by the constitution and laws of the federal government, or of the state of Virginia; shewing in what instances the principles of the British constitution, the maxims of that government, the general customs, or common law of England, acts of the British parliament, and particular customs, or prescriptions, have been adopted or confirmed; altered or amended; or wholly changed and repealed, by local circumstances, political considerations, or the express provisions contained in our constitution and statute law.
III. To each volume of the Commentaries, there will be an appendix; into which will be introduced notes of a more considerable length, which cannot conveniently be inserted in the body of the work, and short tracts upon some subjects arising out of our own constitution and laws.
IV. The appendix to the first volume will contain, 1. A discourse on government; 2. An inquiry into the obligation and authority of the common law and statutes of England, in the United States respectively; and whether the same be the law of the federal government of the United States or not. 3. A view of the written law of the commonwealth of Virginia as partaking of the constitution and laws of the federal government, and treaties made thereby; as well as of its own particular constitution, and acts of its legislature; together with such acts of the parliament of Great Britain, as may be still supposed to have any force or obligation therein. 4. A view of the constitution of the United States; its relation and connection with the state constitutions; a brief examination of their respective powers; a short parallel between it and that of Great Britain; an examination of some of its defects; and a view of the amendments thereto proposed by the several state conventions; and of such as may still be proper to be taken into further consideration. 5. A short view of the constitution of Virginia; an examination of some of Mr. Jefferson's positions respecting it; some hints with regard to an amendment of it, &c. 6. Observations on the right of conscience and the freedom of the press, in the United States of America. 7. A view of the origin, progress, and present state of slavery in Virginia, with a plan for its gradual abolition. 8. View of the laws respecting glebes and churches in Virginia.
V. The appendix to the second volume will contain a short abstract of the land laws in Virginia, with a reference to such as are not to be found in any general code. 2. A discourse on the law of descents in Virginia. 3. An engraved copperplate table of descents according thereto. 4. A table shewing the manner in which estates in parsonage shall be divided pursuant thereto. 5. A view of the laws respecting escheats and forfeitures, passed during the revolutionary war, and of the rights of foreigners to hold lands in Virginia. 6. A view of the laws respecting slaves as property. 7. A discourse on the subject of the laws restraining usury.
VI. The appendix to the third volume will contain a short view of the courts of the United States, and of the commonwealth of Virginia, with an abstract of the laws by which the practice therein is regulated; strictures on the trial by jury
in Virginia under the existing laws, and a plan for their amendment.
VII. The appendix to the fourth volume will contain an abstract of the criminal jurisdiction of the federal government, and of the commonwealth of Virginia: and a short discourse on treason.
VIII. The tracts mentioned in the fourth section—together with the Editor's preface and the Commentator's introduction, being all attached to the first volume of Blackstone; will in this edition, be divided into two parts—the preface and introductions; and the five tracts first mentioned in the fourth section, will be attached to the first part, and the other three tracts mentioned in the same section, will make the appendix to the second part.
THE notes dispersed thro' out the work will amount to 14 or fifteen hundred. Those which refer to the constitution and laws of the United States are very numerous.
CONDITIONS.
I. That the work be printed with a new type on superfine paper, and in five very large octavo volumes; and be bound in neat law binding.
II. That it shall go to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be obtained to make it prudent—and from the time of going to press be published in one year.
III. That the price of the whole, complete and bound, shall be twenty dollars, payable on delivery.
ADDRESS BY THE PUBLISHERS.
IT is presumed, a little consideration will make it obvious, that a work so extensive, and which will employ a large capital, cannot be put to press until a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to make it prudent:—The Publishers do not recollect that any book of the same amount, has been printed in the United States, without either a part of the purchase money being required in advance, or returns made as it proceeded, by delivering the volumes as they were printed—In the present case, the whole work will be finished and completely bound before any payment is made.
It is earnestly requested, that the gentlemen who intend subscribing, will forward their names, as soon as possible, either by letter (post paid) to the Publishers in Philadelphia, or through the medium of book sellers in the neighboring towns. The post masters will also be furnished with a subscription paper, and it is presumed they will forward any names that may offer; as a remuneration, and to induce gentlemen to give it a little attention, whoever procures nine subscribers shall be entitled to a tenth copy, but it is to be explicitly understood, that the person who receives a copy for procuring subscribers, must be answerable for the payment of all the gentlemen who sign his list. The Publishers demand nothing but on delivery of the books, complete; therefore, determined not to leave a single set, without at that time, receiving payment for it.
Gentlemen who forward names to the Publishers, are requested to mention where the books are to be sent, and if possible, to make the place of delivery some considerable and well-known town. Subscription papers will be found in the hands of Mr. Prichard and Mr. S. Pleasants, in Richmond; Messrs. Ross and Douglass, Petersburg; Mr. E. Merick, Norfolk; Mr. R. Greenhow, Williamsburg; Mr. Henderson, Fredericksburg; Mr. S. Bishop, Alexandria; Mr. J. Alburttis, Martinburgh; Mr. Bowen, Winchester; Mr. J. Gales, Raleigh, N. Carolina; Messrs. Baily and Waller, Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. J. Marsh, Georgetown, Potomac; Messrs. Rapin & Co. Washington City; Messrs. G. Hill, and Conrad, & Co. Baltimore, &c. &c.
The Publishers have only to add, that they believe it will be found to be considerably the lowest priced law book, for a similar extent, and including a copy-right purchase, that has appeared for many years either in America or Europe.

The Executors of the late Gen. Geo. Washington, offer for sale, the following
TRACTS OF LAND, viz.
A tract in Loudoun county on Difficult Run, containing 300 acres. The soil well adapted for farming and a considerable proportion of it might easily be improved into meadow. There is a valuable mill-seat on the premises. It lies on the great road from the City of Washington, Alexandria and George Town to Leesburg and Winchester, nineteen miles from Alexandria, less from the City and George Town and not more than three from the Great Falls of Potomac.
One tract containing 2,481 acres lying in the counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, called Ashby's Bent. The soil is that which is said to be most favorable to Plaster of Paris, well watered by several never failing streams issuing from the mountain—part of this land is cleared and tenanted for lives.
One tract lying part in each of the above counties, containing 885 acres. Chatten's run passes through this tract and gives several valuable mill-seats. The soil is similar to the above tract and equally favorable to Plaster of Paris.
A tract on the South Fork of Bullskin, containing 1600 acres—One also, Head of Evans's Mill, containing 453 acres, and one on Wormley's line, containing 183 acres. These several tracts are in Jefferson (late Berkeley county)—the soil very similar in quality, and particularly adapted to the culture of Tobacco, Hemp, Wheat and Indian Corn, situated twelve miles from Harper's Ferry.
One tract containing 571 acres in Frederick county, this land is in the vicinity of the last mentioned tracts and equally valuable.
One tract in Hampshire county containing 240 acres—this tract, tho' small is extremely valuable. It lies on Potomac river, about 12 miles above the town of Bath (or Warm Springs) and is in the shape of a horse-shoe, the river running almost round it; two hundred acres of it are rich low grounds, with a great abundance of the largest Walnut and other trees, which with the produce of the soil, might (by means of the improved navigation of the Potomac) be brought to a shipping port with more ease and at a smaller expense, than that which is transported only 30 miles by land.
One third part of 1119 acres on Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and in Nansemond river—this land is considered extremely valuable by those who are acquainted with it.
One tract in Charles county, Maryland, containing 600 acres—it is very level and lies near the river Potomac.
One tract in Montgomery county, Maryland, containing 519 acres—This land lies about 30 miles above the City of Washington, not far from Kettoc-tan and is good farming land.
One tract in Pennsylvania, containing 234 acres—This land affords an exceeding good stand on Braddock's road from Fort Cumberland to Pittsburg, and a large quantity of natural meadow fit for the scythe. It is distinguished by the appellation of the Great Meadows, where the first action with the French, in the year 1754, was fought.
One other tract on the Mohawk river, State of New-York, containing 1000 acres.
In North West Territory. Three tracts lying on Little Miami, containing 3051 acres.
In Kentucky. On Rough Creek, one tract containing 3000 acres; ditto adjoining 2000 acres. Indisputable titles can be given for the above lands.
