Method of discovering whether wine has been adulterated with any metals prejudicial to the health. By M. HANEMANN. From Bibliotheque Physico-economique.
THE property which liver of sulphur (alkaline sulphures) and hadatic air (sulphured hydrogen) posses of precipitating lead in a black form, has been long ago made public; and this property has been employed to determine the quality of wines by means of the liquor probatorius Wirtembergensis, or Wirtemberg proving liquor.
But, in trying wines supposed to have been adulterated, this proof does more hurt than service, because it precipitates iron of the same colour as the pernicious lead. Many wine-merchants therefore of the greatest respectability, rendered by these means suspected, have been ruined.
There was wanting then a re-agent, which should discover in wine those metals only which are prejudicial to the health of man.
The following liquor precipitates lead and copper in a black form, and arsenic of an orange colour, &c. but does not precipitate iron. The last, which is not noxious, and rather salutary to the constitution frequently gets into wines by accident.
Method of preparing the Proving Liquor. Mix equal parts of oyster shells and crude sulphur in a fine powder, and put the mixture into a crucible. Heat it in a wind furnace, and increase the fire suddenly, so as to bring the crucible to a white heat, for the space of fifteen minutes. Pulverise the mass when it is cool, and preserve it in a bottle closely stopped.
To prepare the liquor, put 120 grains of this powder and 120 grains of cream of tartar, (acidulous tartarite of pot-ash) into a strong bottle; fill the bottle with common water, which boil for an hour, and then let it cool; close the bottle immediately, and shake it for some time: after it has remained at rest to settle, decant the pure liquor, and pour it into small phials capable of holding about an ounce each, first putting into each of them 20 drops of muriatic acid. They must be stopped very closely with a piece of wax, in which there is a small mixture of turpentine.
One part of this liquor mixed with three parts of suspected wine, will discover by a very sensible black precipitate, the least traces of lead, copper, &c. but will produce no effect upon iron, if it contains any of that metal. When the precipitate has fallen down, it may still be discovered whether the wine contains iron by saturating the decanted liquor with a little salt of tartar (tartareous acidulum of pot-ash,) by which the liquor will immediately become black.
Pure wines remain clear and bright after this liquor has been added to them. From Thomas's Massachusetts Spy.
FEDERAL REPUBLICAN.
ROYALISTS give as one reason for their preference of hereditary to elective government, that the strong interest made by the great competitors for the office of chief magistrate, in electors, is apt to kindle the flames of civil war. But if we recur to history, the proof seems to be against them. The antient Greeks and Romans spilled but little blood in their electors. But history is full of royal murders of fathers, brothers and nephews, and of civil wars, in which the people have been led cut and set to fighting like dogs of no importance to them, a question which of two persons should be their master, neither of whom had been, on account of any merits, the object of their choice; but both claiming a right to govern.
In the long wars in England to settle the disputed title to the throne between the houses of York and Lancaster, more

than 100,000 people perished in the field and on the scaffold. In America John Adams was chosen by a majority of only one, and held the office of chief magistrate during the whole time for which he was elected. Thomas Jefferson is now elected by a majority of three, and, should he live will no doubt hold the same office as long. We quarrel indeed, and we call names worse than white rose and red ; but we forbear blows—we shed no blood, but our ink flows in torrents—we lop off no heads on the scaffold, but we place each other's reputations on the rack of fortune.
It is curious to observe how religious we grow. Persons, who a few years ago seemed to have no alarms on this head, now shew themselves awakened, not indeed to a sense of their own danger so much, as to the danger of their fellow creatures, and the holy cause. Our pious forefathers must rejoice could they look out of their graves and see with what strictness we watch over each other's words and actions. How heartily we detest each other for the shameful vice of lying.
There are those in the United States, who seriously believe that the coalition of kings & of noblemen against the French revolution is verily the cause of good order and government. To others, it seems plain, that these kings and nobles entertained better opinions concerning republican governments, than they were willing to allow; and feared lest mankind should contrive somehow to live without them.—Many can look on the present harmony that exists between those late mortal enemies, the Catholic and the Protestant Episcopal Church, as a union in the good cause of religion in time of danger from infidels without. Others there are, who very uncharitably suppose that the high priests were much more concerned about the loss of that fat living which they gain by the altar.

REVIEW OF EUROPEAN EVENTS.
Written by an American abroad.
[In our paper of July 7, we published a continuation of this Review, to April 25; that for the remainder of the month has not been received; as soon as it reaches us, we shall perfect this chain of events by its publication.]
MAY 1. THE French squadron under Gantheaume, which, for the third time failed from Toulon the 26th of April, arrived this day at Leghorn. Before sailing Gantheaume manned his ships by impressing all the seamen he could find in Toulon, foreigners as well as Frenchmen. This circumstance suggests two remarks. He must have been reduced to the severest extremity for want of men, to have recourse to such an expedient. The degree of respect shewn to the rights of foreign nations, even by the present French government, is indicated by it. As to their own citizens, they have never ceased, amidst all their convulsive spasms in recovering their long lost liberty, to practice the system of forcible levies for the public service, by land or by water. As little will any man, the centre of whose optics is more than two inches beyond his nose, expect, that, after the establishment of that precious liberty, for which they took to their convulsive spasms, they will cease a practice, without which the great nation cannot continue her career of victories; but what security the commerce or the sailors of other nations are to expect in her ports, is apparent from this example.
On board of this squadron are a number of troops; and at Leghorn they are fitting up transport ships to proceed with them.—The French have taken possession of Porto Longone, in the island of Elba, ceded to them by the treaties of peace with Austria and Naples. They have likewise occupied Otranto, and various other Neapolitan ports upon the Adriatic. There seems no doubt but that they meditate an expedition from them, either to reinforce their army in Egypt, or against some part of the Turkish empire in Europe. The expedition to take possession of the island of Elba, was delayed for some days, by the refusal of the 50th half brigade to march. What the cause of this mutiny was, does not appear. Gen. Mura says, that they were seduced by the hired agents of the English—but that, as they had repeated, he had seen their tears and forgiven them. The French have taken possession, and joined to the Cisalpine
Republic all the territory on the right bank of the Adige, ceded by the Emperor in the treaty of Luneville. But the Cisalpine, Ligurian, and Helvetic Republics, are all waiting the opinion of the French First Consul, to fix their constitutions. He is constitution-monger general for them all; though he finds it very tedious to read all the plans they send him; insomuch, that he lately told a Ligurian deputy, who had delivered him one of those social compact to examine, that he was quite sick of such business, and did not think much of it. That they might do as they pleased, but he thought their plan was too much like that of France; and it was evident Genoa could not require so strong an Executive as France. They are still at the work of constitution-patching in the Batavian republic too; and there too they have received a scab-nable hint to reduce the numbers of their legislature, and not to strengthen their executive. It is easy to see that these principles are calculated to promote the interests of the great nation, if not the happiness of the Batavian people.
In Piedmont, the languishing ardour of the people, to be judged worthy of participating in the destinies of the great nation, was this day a little damped by an admonition to the Prefects, from the Administrator-General Jourdan, telling them that the administration was only provisional, and they must avoid every measure which might give it an appearance of being definitive; that the new administration in Piedmont was, to be sure, pretty much like that of France, but Piedmont was not yet united with the French Republic, and they must not anticipate in this respect the views of the French government:—They must, therefore, proclaim their acts, not in the name of the French Republic, but in that of the Provisional administration of Piedmont:—Nor must they wear the dress of French public characters, without a previous permission from France. Imagine what must be the disappointment of the poor Piedmontese, upon finding themselves flattered up with a hope of being favoured with all the blessings of an incorporation, and then thus snubbed off with a mere alliance de facto .

FROM THE FARMER'S MUSEUM.
FROM THE DESK OF BERIC HESDIN.
Fore'd pity meets us with a cold respect, Unkind as scorn, ungenerous as neglect. SAVAGE.
THE refined author of this sentiment had seen the pointing finger of scorn; and realized that friendship dwelleth not in the house of want. When he had no fatted calf to kill, or red wine to sparkle in the cup, his quondam friends passed by, on the other side of his habitation, and, with a slight nod, bid him do well and prosper.
Retired from the bustling scenes of life, behold the once blooming, active and cheerful Alberto, wandering with down cast eye, through the wild recesses of the village. His cheek is pale, and often wet with tears—but his tears fall not before men—they are the companions of silent meditation and fall at the remembrance of—
What is friendship?—a name; A charm that lulls to sleep; A shade that follows wealth, or fame— But leaves the wretch to weep.
Yes unhappy wanderer, thy soul is more pained at the deceptions of the world, than at bearing the miseries incident to poverty. But the man of high life will never estimate thy sensibility: the man of business will never make a draft on thy virtue; and what does the parasite care for his professed friendship? It was made the day of thy prosperity; when thy purse was full, and thy hand liberal. Every smirk bow and flattering observation, were no better than the tricks of a gamester; and were aimed at thy table and purse. Now misfortune had slain the ewe lamb, and charity eaten by thy barrel of meal—he gives thee the cold hand of formality; and with hypocritical whining, bemoans thy adversity. Where is the cheerful countenance and generous feast, which waited the rattling of thy chariot wheels? gone off with their sound; leaving only a plain "how d'ye do?" and common fare. This, my friends, is too often the conclusion of fashionable friendship.
Those only who have experienced the fickleness of fortune, can rightly conceive the poignant effects of such mean and degrading conduct. Few, however, journey this vale of tears, without experiencing
the cold respect of formal pity; and from beings too, whose names are written on the highest pillar in the market, and re-founded in the drawing room in connection with tender feelings and generous hearts.
There is no man, who feels the dignity of human nature, and has an eye to futurity, but would rather pass by the pouting lips of scorn, than shake the cold hand of formal friendship. To the person of rational sensibility few occurrences are more mortifying, than to receive mere civility from those, with whom he has been on terms of unreserved intimacy; between whom was a continual interchange of kind offices, and which an alteration of pecuniary circumstances alone had destroyed. Ill as refined and sensible beings can brook adversity, from false notions of wealth; yet, when the day of calamity comes, they find their feelings more wounded by that forced pity and cold respect, which too often await the unfortunate, than by all the real evils of poverty. The loss of estate they expected would retrench their living, and exclude them from many pleasures and enjoyments; but they never entertained a distant idea, that poverty itself could separate them from that warm respect and kind attention, which their summer friends most lavishly bestowed. What adds double mortification to their want and desertion, is the gloomy reflection, that fortune instead of merit, was the parent of courteousness and friendship.
Ask any unfortunate merchant, or gentleman with holes in his coat's elbows—"of what stuff is friendship?" and he will tell you, it is like Shakespeare's dream, of air, a light and unsubstantial form. Yet those, who walk the gay round of fashion, and form the circle of boasted refinement, assume this specious veil, "which mocks calamity, and derides misfortune;" to gain them eclat among the superficial observers of men and manners. It is the vile garb of hypocrisy, worn to hide the defects of the heart, and gain the venial appellation of sensibility . Yes, such is the depravity of the human heart, that we strive more to gain a good name, than to deserve it: we had rather give a pound of advice, than an ounce of silver.
BERI HESDIN.
LAW INTELLIGENCE. KING'S BENCH—GUILDHALL.
Darby and Nicolls v. Cowdery.
The subject of this contention was a warm one; it was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who resided at Bath, and were patentees of what they called a new invented mode of making portable ovens, against the defendant, also of that city, to recover damages for having infringed on their patent.
Mr. Erskine opened the cause by extolling the merit of that marvellous invention, which, had it gone a step farther, and baked the bread without fire, would certainly have reached the very acme of perfection. True it was that nothing under the sun could be said to be entirely new—the powers of mechanism, the properties of the elements, the application of them, either to assist human labor, or promote the comforts and conveniences of life, had been fully understood for centuries—it was therefore only by the adoption and combination of those powers and properties different from their previous application, that an ingenious artist could claim to have exclusive right of making and vending the object of his discovery for his own profit, secured to him by a patent. Of such a nature was the invention in question; it was framed on a construction so portable, that a man contemplating a long journey might whip the oven under his arm, metamorphose himself into a walking baker's shop, and, whether traversing the immense ocean, or the wide extended desert, could, without the aid of magic, at any time command the appearance of a well baked quarter loaf—it was an article in itself not only elegant, but classical—it was framed upon a tripod similar to the footstool of Jove, or the seat of the Sybilline Oracle!—its peculiar construction was such, that the circumambient air corrected the ardor of the promethean element, and produced a species of bread of a flavor so divine, that it resembled ambrosia or manna! The Defendant, jealous of the merit of so extraordinary an invention, had pirated it, and thereby defrauded the plaintiffs of those immense profits which they had a reasonable right to have expected from the liberality and gratitude of the public!
The first witness produced was the wonderful oven itself; it did not bear any ex-
ternal or internal evidence of those mighty properties ascribed to it!
The Attorney General, cross-examined it, and pretty clearly shewed that it was not the first of its family, but a collateral ramification of one which had for years been well known in every county of England, but particularly in the North.
Lord Kenyon thought that the philosophical principles of this self-baking oven were equally inherent in the constitution of a chating dish!
The celestial tripod proved to be nothing more or less than a three legged trivet, common in every hut in the kingdom! and, as to the oven, it appeared that a grate and fire were necessary to be placed under it: two things certainly not of the most convenient portability.
The Learned Counsel, nothing dismayed by the sorry exhibition of his first witness, proceeded to call those who were enabled to give oral testimony of the excellencies of the miraculous oven.
The witness described it in terms no less glowing than those adopted by the learned advocate. From their account it would have appeared that the inventor was entitled to little less celebrity than the inventor of the steam engine. The specification was also produced, and in the most high-flown and lexiphantic language described the oven as equally adapted for use by sea or by land, above ground, or under ground, on oceans, or on rivers, in gulfs, or in bays, on mountains, or in vallies, in forests, or in groves, in uplands, and in lowlands, hills, or dales, &c. and so on in a style of hyperbole, exceeding the most flowery and metaphorical description of any of our most florid modern auctioneers.
Unfortunately for the invention, and for the witness, and those on whose part they gave their testimony, the attorney-general having patiently listened for some time, produced an old magazine, of the year 1761, from which it appeared the terms of the specification had been copied verbatim! He convinced the jury that the principle of the supposed invention was as well known as the article which it baked.
Lord Kenyon observed, that the action was truly ridiculous; and
Mr. Erskine, when he found himself too hard pushed to contest the point any longer, seemed, with the greatest good humour, tacitly to confess, that in the country, on which he reflects no less honor than he derives from it, this sort of oven had from time immemorial, been used to bake the oaten cakes which have nurtured the infant stomachs of some of the greatest geniuses Great-Britain can boast!
Mr. Garrow, who was one of the counsel with the attorney-general, remarked, that patents were now-a-days granted for the most childish and absurd inventions. It was but the preceding evening he had called upon his learned friend, and had found him deeply engaged in persuading a man as foolish as the present plaintiff, not to apply for a patent for a new-invented implement of domestic utility, viz. a chamber pot, as good as ever was made of wood.—Plaintiffs non-suited.
FROM THE PALLADIUM.
EXTRACT from a (manuscript) dissertation upon the consequences of the present European War.
THE progress of civil society must be parallel with the progress of the human mind, and all attempts for its more rapid advancement are vain. The sudden growth of a plant, either precludes fruitfulness, or renders the fruit rank and unwholesome. Thus a state of freedom, that is to be permanently advantageous, results not from any sudden change of revolution in the affairs of nations, but from a long and steady progress, in improvement. It is indeed a plant of slow and tender growth. The truth is, force and persuasion are the two great and only engines of government. Of these, the former alone, can control the beast and unenlightened man.
To the existence of a government of persuasion, or a free government, two qualifications in the subject are necessary, the first, knowledge to discern, and the second, virtue to perform, his duty. Where either of these is wanting, it is plain, that the citizen is beyond the reach of persuasion, and that all those duties, the performance of which is indispensable to the existence of civil society, will either not be enforced or not understood. Hence a free people must be both virtuous and enlightened. Human nature, with them, must have received its highest polish. This is the true reason why statesmen have ever

found it so arduous a task to give permanent efficacy to a free government. Few nations are or have been thus virtuous and enlightened, and of these, still fewer, however disagreeable the reflection, are, at present, found, on the eastern continent. Hence the enjoyment of a free government, such as is contemplated by these projectors, is, to most of the European nations, forbidden fruit, and in the day that they presume to taste thereof, they must surely die . They must sink from the state of happiness, which they previously possessed, into all the horrors of anarchy and bloodshed. Some favourite leader, will, at length, take advantage of their weakness and misery, rivet their chains and mount the throne. This, if not the uniform, is the common progress of such a revolution, and from time immemorial, has been "the sad burthen" of history. The facts, in France, so far as they have been exhibited, exactly correspond with this account. From the day when the parchment was uttered forth, the French have been in a state of sin and misery , and are now, under the galling yoke of bondage."
KINGSTON, August 17.
Arrived, schooner John, Saunders, Wilmington, N. C. last St. Croix. Sailed, ship Princess Augusta, Careuth, London; brig Jupiter, Garrae, N. York; schr. Christian, Miller, New-York; sloop Eliza, Bell, Baltimore.
Yesterday morning, about half past five o'clock, a very smart shock of an earthquake was felt in this town and vicinity; it was likewise felt very severely in Spanish town—and is computed to have lasted about 20 seconds.
August 18.
Sailed, brig Constellation, Fuller, Baltimore.
August 19.
Sailed, ship William Pennock, Elliot, Norfolk.
His Majesty's ship Retribution, arrived yesterday from a cruise; a gun having burnt on board her while firing at a schooner in English bay, in St. Domingo, which was lying under the protection of a battery, two men were killed and forty wounded; eighteen have since died, and little hope are entertained of the recovery of the remainder. The deck on the larboard side is considerably damaged from the accident. Two men were also killed in the boats belonging to the frigate, by the shot from the guns of the battery which protected the schooner.
August 20.
Late on Tuesday evening, arrived at Fort-Royal, his majesty's ship Bonetta, captain Vanfittart. It is with extreme concern we must communicate, that she brings an account of the loss of six sail of the last homeward bound fleet, and of the Lowestoffe frigate, which happened on the night of the 10th instant, on the greater and smaller islands of Heneaga. From the most diligent enquiry we have been able to make, we are enabled to state, that the fleet when off the north-east end of the island, consisted of 96 sail, and that on the morning of the day on which this melancholy event took place, viz. 14 days after leaving port Antonio, were pretty well collected, in the evening they were very much scattered, and the commodore considerable ahead; the ships then crowded all sail to come up with his vessel, and when very close upon her, the noise of the breakers which surround these islands were heard, and in a few minutes the Lowestoffe frigate, with the Jason, captain Wat; Fanny, captain Melville; Swansea, captain Warden; Bushy Park, captain Brown, and Bullock, captain Kelly, run ashore, and are totally lost. The money which was on board the Lowestoffe is saved, but the purser and five men who were in a boat engaged in that service unfortunately perished. B. Waterhouse and George Bogle, esquires, who were passengers on board the Lowestoffe, and about 400 seamen belonging to the different vessels arrived in the Bonetta. The Acacia proceeded to England with all the ships that could be collected together, which amounted to 18 sail.
Besides the list given above, there is an account of two vessels which ran ashore on Little Heneaga, one of them unknown, supposed to have gone down, the other copiously reported to be the Milford, captain Robley.
By information received by the Florida Packet, only 60 hours from Cape-Francis, we learn that an American vessel arrived there, gave an account of 11 sail being ashore on the Heneaga, and that
when she passed the lesser island, one vessel with English colours flying, union down, was at anchor in deep water near to another perfectly aground; she had cut away her masts.
Upwards of 60 sail of American vessels were lying at the Cape when captain Wenham failed.
Some days previous to the melancholy accident befalling this fleet, the Egyptian passed through it with the loss of her main-top-mast, and from being very leaky, was obliged to put into a bay or creek, on the leeward coast of Heneagas, to caulk her bends.
SALEM, Sept. 8.
Sunday night arrived at Marblehead, the armed schooner Raven, captain Ambrose Martin, from Leghorn and Gibraltar.
Sailed from Leghorn June 20th, in company with four other Americans, one of which was the Happy Couple, arrived at New-York.
On their passage down, saw a ship, and fired a gun for her to bring too, which she refused to do, and another ship heaving in sight at the same time, they were apprehensive they were Tripolitan corsairs: a shot was then fired into her, which unfortunately killed one man, and wounded three others; she proved to be an imperial ship.
July 8, spoke the Essex frigate, a Salem vessel in company, whose name they could not learn.
The fleet sailed from Gibraltar the 18th July, where they left the Tripolitan corsairs, the ship Jason of Boston, and several southern vessels; there was no probability of the Tripolitans sailing while the Philadelphia frigate kept her station off the harbor.
June 16, spoke schooner Charles, Davis, from Gloucester, bound for Barbadoes.
The armed schr. Raven, capt. Ambrose Martin (mentioned above) arrived at Marblehead on Sunday night. Captain M. says, the circumstance of two Spanish ships being blown up, was thus related at Gibraltar:
The battle being in the night, an English ship running in between two Spanish ships gave each a broadside, and unseen by the Spaniards amidst the smoke and darkness, dropped astern, leaving her foes to deliver their broadsides to each other, which they did, and continued the combat with fury, till one of them caught fire, and the flames communicated to the other while her boats were humanely employed in the relief of her supposed enemy: both at length blew up, and none were saved but what had got into the boats. These ships had on board an extra number of hands, destined for other ships at Toulon.
Besides the loss of the Hannibal by the English in the battle at Algeciras, the admiral's ship was dismasted; but was completely refitted in two days after her arrival at Gibraltar, and did her duty again in the subsequent action. A number of boats also, which were sent from Gibraltar to assist the Hannibal after she grounded (not knowing she was taken possession of by the enemy) fell into the hands of the French.

The whole of the cargoes, and most of the crews and passengers on board the ships cast away are lost.

CHILLICOTHE, August 27.
Reports, as extravagant as false, respecting the sickness of this country being in general circulation, propagated undoubtedly by the envious, with a view to put a check to our encreasing population, we think it our duty to declare, not only from the best information of others, but partly from our own knowledge, that this town and neighborhood, except at the Deer creek Prairie and the Pickaway Plains enjoy a degree of health far superior to the three previous years:—There have been but three deaths in this town since early last spring; there are not twenty persons now in it sick, and not one of them by any means dangerous, altho' it contains not less than eight hundred inhabitants:—From this ratio, at this season of the year, we will venture a comparison with any part of the inhabited western country.
Monday se'nnight, two old Indians of the Choctaw nation, left this town (in which they had been loitering several days) on their way to Philadelphia:—on their arrival at Zanesville, a quarrel taking place between them, one of them hastily took up a billet of wood and struck the other on the head, which put an immediate period to his life. The survivor proceeded on his journey.
NASHVILLE, August 12.
On Monday last arrived in this town, major general Wilkinson, commander in chief of the army of the United States, and one of the commissioners for treating with the Southern Indians, and yesterday he set off for South West Point, where a treaty is to be holden with the Cherokees—one of the objects of the negotiation, we learn, is to obtain from the Indians a relinquishment of the tract of country, lying between the Cumberland and Holston settlements, an event so desirable to the citizens of Tennessee.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17.
The total population of the United States, as taken in '90, amounted to 3,929,326. The present census amounts to 5,064,801 In this statement Tennessee is wanting, the numbers of which state, with those deficient in N. York and Maryland, may be estimated at 150,000
5,214,801 Increase in 10 years about 1,285,475 This increase is at the rate of about one third in ten years, which will double any given number in about 24 years. In 1790 the slaves in the United States amounted to 697,697 In this census they are, exclusive of Tennessee, and the other deficient districts, 869,768
Absolute increase 172,071
But though this be the absolute increase, the reader, on calculation, will find that there is a proportional decrease of slaves compared with freemen, of about 56,000 which is nearly a fifteenth part. Some deduction, however, is to be made for the deficient returns.
This result solves a question, which is in itself highly interesting, and which has heretofore been very differently decided. It establishes the fact, that the relative number of slaves are decreasing, and that too with a rapidity that promises the happiest effects. It proves also that the relative total of blacks, whether slaves or free, is also decreasing, though not with the same rapidity as the slaves, as the proportional diminution of the slaves will be seen by the increased relative number of all free persons other than those designated, which principally arises from manumitted slaves.

PROPOSALS, By Warner & Hanna, For publishing by Subscription, Six Volumes of  SELECT PLAYS, To be entitled,  The American Theatre.
CONDITIONS. 1. The whole set will be printed in a handsome duodecimo size, on a superior wove paper, and new type, made purposely for the work. 2. The price to subscribers, neatly bound and lettered, will be one dollar per volume—to non-subscribers one dollar and seventy-five cents. 3. No money required until the delivery of each volume, and at the completion of the whole a list of its patrons will be given. 4. The first volume will consist of the following much admired plays— Castle Spectre, Heir at Law, the Stranger, and Secrets Worth Knowing. 5. The publishers pledge themselves to be particular in their selection, by giving place to such plays as are publicly and justly admired for purity of sentiment, and elegance of diction; and no expense withheld in rendering the work for beauty equal to any in America. When it is considered that the American public have never as yet been put in possession, from a press in this country, of a set of well selected and approved plays, capable of producing much rational sentiment, chaste wit, and good humor, so well calculated to inculcate morality, amuse, recreate and animate the mind—the publishers flatter themselves their exertions will meet with encouragement. Subscriptions are received at the office of the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.
