THOMAS PAINE'S LETTER TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.
[Continued.] That this letter was not written in ve- ry good temper, is very evident; but it was just such a letter as his conduct ap- peared to me to merit, and every thing on his part since has served to confirm that opinion. Had I wanted a commentary on his silence with respect to my imprison- ment in France, some of his faction has furnished me with it. What I here al- lude to, is a publication in a Philadelphia paper, copied afterwards into a New- York paper, both under the patronage of the Washington faction, in which the wri- ter, still supposing me in prison in France, wonders at my lengthy respite from the scaffold; and he marks his politics still further by saying—"It appears morco- ver, that the people of England did not relish his (Thomas Paine's) opinions quite so well as he expected, and that from one of his last pieces, as destructive to the peace and happiness of their country [meaning I suppose, the Rights of Man] they threatened our knight-errant with such serious vengeance, that to avoid a trip to Botany-bay, he fled over to France, as a less dangerous voyage."
I am not refuting or contradicting the falsehood of this publication, for it is suf- ficiently notorious; neither am I censur- ing the writer; on the contrary I thank him for the explanation he has incautious- ly given of the principles of the Washing- ton faction. Insignificant, however, as the piece is, it was capable of having had some ill effect, had it arrived in France during my imprisonment and in the time of Robespierre; and I am not uncharitable in supposing that this was the intention of the writer.*
I have now done with Mr. Washing- ton on the score of private affairs. It would have been far more agreeable to me, had his conduct been such as not to have merited these reproaches. Errors or caprices of the temper can be pardoned and forgotten; but a cool deliberate crime of the heart, such as Mr. Washington is capable of acting, is not to be washed away. I now proceed to other matter.
After Jay's note to Grenville arrived in Paris from America, the character of every thing that was to follow might be easily foreseen; and it was upon this anti- cipation that my letter of February 22d was founded. The event has proved, that I was not mistaken, except that it has been much worse than I expected.
It would naturally occur to Mr. Wash- ington, that the secrecy of Jay's mission to England, where there was already an American minister, could not but create some suspicion in the French government; especially as the conduct of Morris had been notorious, and the intimacy of Mr. Washington with Morris was known.
The character which Mr. Washington has attempted to act in the world, is a sort of non-describable, chameleon coloured thing, called prudence. It is, in many cases, a substitute for principle, and is so nearly allied to hypocrisy, that it easily slides into it. His genius for prudence furnished him in this instance with an ex- pedient, that served, as is the natural and general character of all expedients, to diminish the embarrassments of the moment and multiply them afterwards; for he au- thorised it to be made known to the French government, as a confidential mat- ter (Mr. Washington should recollect that I was a member of the convention, and had the means of knowing what I here state) he authorised it, I say, to be made known and that for the purpose of preventing any uneasiness to France on the score of Mr. Jay's mission to England, that the object of that mission, and of Mr. Jay's authori- ty, was restricted to that of demanding the surrender of the western posts and in- demnification for the cargoes captured in American vessels. Mr. Washington knows that this was untrue; and knowing this, he had good reason to himself for refu- sing to furnish the house of representatives with copies of the instructions given to Jay; as he might suspect, among other things, that he should also be called upon for copies of instructions given to other
* I know not who the writer of the piece is; but some late Americans say it is Phineas Bond, an American refugee, and now a British Consul; and that he writes under the signature of Peter Skunk, or Pe- ter Porcupine, or some such signature.
ministers, and that in the contradiction of instructions his want of integrity would be detected. Mr. Washington may now, perhaps, learn, when it is too late, to be of any use to him, that a man, will pass better through the world with a thousand open errors upon his back, than in being detected in one fly falsehood. When one is detected, a thousand are suspected.
The first account that arrived in Paris of a treaty being negotiated by Mr. Jay (for nobody suspected any) came in an English newspaper, which announced that a treaty offensive and defensive had been concluded between the United States of America and England. This was imme- diately denied by every American in Paris, as an impossible thing; and though it was disbelieved by the French, it imprint- ed a suspicion that some underhanded bu- siness was going forward.* At length the treaty itself arrived, and every well- affected American blushed with shame.
It is curious to observe how the appear- ance of character will change, whilst the root that produces them remains the same. The Washington administration having waded through the slough of negotiation, and whilst it amused France with profess- ions of friendship, contrived to injure her, immediately throws off the hypocrite, and assuming the swaggering air of a bravado. The party papers of that imbecile admini- stration were on this occasion filled with paragraphs about Sovereignty . A paltroon may boast of his sovereign right to let another kick him, and this is the only kind of sovereignty shewn in the treaty with England. But these dashing para- graphs, as Timothy Pickering well knows, were intended for France; without whose assistance in men, money and ships, Mr. Washington would have cut a poor figure in the American war. But of his military talents I shall speak hereafter.
I mean not to enter into any discussion of any article of Jay's treaty: I shall speak only upon the whole of it. It is attempted to be justified on the ground of its not being a violation of any article or articles of the treaty pre-existing with France. But the sovereign right of ex- planation does not lie with George Wash- ington and his man Timothy; France, on her part, has, at least, an equal right; and when nations dispute, it is not so much about words as about things.
A man, such as the world calls a shar- per, and versed, as Jay must be supposed to be, in the quibbles of the law, may find a way to enter into engagements, and make bargains in such a manner as to cheat some other party, without that party being able as the phrase is, to take the law of him. This often happens in the cabalistical cir- cle of what is called law. But when this is attempted to be acted on the national scale of treaties, it is too despicable to be defended, or to be permitted to exist.— Yet this is the trick upon which Jay's treaty is founded, so far as it has relation to the treaty pre-existing with France. It is a counter-treaty to that treaty, and perverts all the great articles of that trea- ty.
* It was the embarrassment into which the affairs and credit of America were thrown at this instant by the report above alluded to, that made it necessary to con- tradict it, and that by every means aris- ing from opinion or founded upon authority. The Committee of Public Safety, existing at that time, had agreed to the full execution, on their part, of the treaty between Ame- rica and France, notwithstanding some equivocal conduct on the part of the Ameri- can government, not very consistent with good faith of an ally; but they were not in a disposition to be imposed upon by a counter treaty. That Jay had no instruc- tions beyond the points above stated, or none that could possibly be construed to ex- tend to the length the British treaty goes was a matter believed in America, in Eng- land, and in France; and without going, to any other source, it followed naturally from the message of the president to congress when he nominated Jay upon that mission. The secretary of Mr. Jay came to Paris soon after the treaty with England had been concluded, and brought with him a copy of Mr. Jay's instructions, which he offered to shew to me as a justification of Jay. I advised, as a friend, not to shew them to any body, and did not permit him to shew them to me. Who is it, said I to him, that you intend to implicate as censura- ble by shewing those instructions? Per- haps that implication may fall upon your own government. Though I did not see the instructions, I could not be at a loss to understand, that the American administra- tion had been playing a double game.
ty to the injury of France, and makes them operate as a bounty to England, with whom France is at war.
The Washington administration shews great desire, that the treaty between France and the United States be preserved. Nobody can doubt their sincerity upon this matter. There is not a British mi- nister, a British merchant, or a British sai- lor in America, that does not anxiously wish the same thing. The treaty with France serves now as a passport to supply England with naval stores and other arti- cles of American produce, whilst the same articles, when coming to France, are made contraband or seizable by Jay's treaty with England. The treaty with France says, that neutral ships make neutral pro- perty, and thereby gives protection to En- glish property on board American ships; and Jay's treaty delivers up French pro- perty on board American ships to be seiz- ed by the English. It is too paltry to talk of faith, of national honor, and of the preservation of treaties, whilst such a barefaced treachery as this flares the world in the face.
The Washington administration may save itself the trouble of proving to the French government its most faithful in- tention of preserving the treaty with France; for France has now no desire that it should be preserved. She had nominat- ed an Envoy extraordinary to America, to make Mr. Washington and his govern- ment a present of the treaty, and to have no more to do with that or with him . It was, at the same time, officially declared to the American minister at Paris, that the French republic had rather have the A- merican government as open enemy than a treacherous friend. This, sir, together with the internal distractions caused in America; and the loss of character in the world, is the eventful crisis , alluded to in the beginning of this letter, to which your double politics have brought the affairs of your country. It is time that the eyes of America be opened upon you.
How France would have conducted her- self towards America and American com- merce after all treaty stipulations had ceas- ed, and under the sense of services render- ed and injuries received, I know not. It is, however, an unpleasant reflection, that in all national quarrels, the innocent, and even the friendly, part of the community become involved with the culpable and the unfriendly; and as the accounts that ar- rived from America continued to manifest an invariable attachment in the general mass of the people to their original ally, in opposition to the new-fangled Washington faction—the resolutions that had been ta- ken were suspended. It happened also fortunately enough, that Gouverneur Mor- ris was not minister at that time.
There is, however, one point that yet remains in embryo, and which, among o- ther things serves to shew the ignorance of the Washington treaty-makers, and their inattention to pre-existing treaties when they were employing themselves in fram- ing or ratifying the new treaty with En- gland.
The second article of the treaty of com- merce between the United States & France says: "The most christian king and the United States engage mutually, not to grant any particular favor to other nations in respect of commerce and navigation that shall not immediately become com- mon to the other party, who shall enjoy the same favour freely, if the concession was freely made or on allowing the same compensation if the concession was condi- tional."
All the concessions therefore made to England, by Mr. Jay's treaty, are thro' the medium of this second article in the pre-existing treaty made to France, and became engrafted into the treaty with France, and can be exercised by her as a matter of right, the same as by England.
Jay's treaty makes a concession to Eng- land, and that unconditionally, of seizing naval stores in American ships, and con- demning them as contraband. It makes also a concession to England to seize provi- sions and other articles in American ships. Other articles are all other articles, and none but an ignoramus, or something worse, would have put such a phrase into a treaty. The condition annexed to this clause is, that the provisions and other articles so seized are to be paid for at a price to be agreed upon. Mr. Washington, as President, ra- tified this treaty after he knew the British government, had recommended an indiscrimi- nate seizure of provisions and all o- ther articles in American ships; and it is now known that those seizures were made to fit out the expedition going to

Quiberon Bay, and it was known, before hand that they would be made. The evidence goes, also, a good way to prove that Jay and Grenville understood each other upon that subject. Mr. Pinckney, when he passed through France on his way to Spain, spoke of the recommencement of the seizures as a thing that would take place. The French government had by some means received information from London to the same purpose, with the addition, that the recommencement of the seizures would cause no misunderstanding between the British and American governments. Grenville in defending himself against the opposition in parliament, on account of the scarcity of corn, said (see his speech at the opening of parliament, that met Oct. 29th, 1793,) that "the supplies for the Quiberon expedition were furnished out of the American ships;" and all the accounts received at that time from England stated, that those seizures were made under the treaty. After the supplies for the Quiberon expedition had been procured, and the expected success had failed, the seizures were countermanded; and, had the French seized provision vessels bound to England, it is probable that the Quiberon expedition could not have been attempted.
In one point of view, the treaty with England operates as a loan on the English government. It gives permission to that government to take American property at sea, to any amount, and pay for it when it suits her; and besides this, the treaty is in every point of view, a surrender of the rights of American commerce and navigation, and a refusal to France of the rights of neutrality. The American flag is not now a neutral flag to France; Jay's treaty of surrender gives a monopoly of it to England.
On the contrary, the treaty of commerce between America and France was founded on the most liberal principles, and calculated to give the greatest encouragement to the infant commerce of America.—France was neither a carrier nor an exporter of naval stores or provisions. These articles belonged wholly to America, and they had all the protection in that treaty which a treaty could give. But so much has that treaty been perverted, that the liberality of it, on the part of France, has served to encourage Jay to form a counter treaty with England; for he must have supposed the hands of France tied up by her treaty with America, when he was making such large concessions in favor of England.—The injury which Mr. Washington's administration has done to the character as well as to the commerce of America is too great to be repaired by him. Foreign nations will be shy of making treaties with a government that has given the faithless example of perverting the liberality of a former treaty to the injury of the party with whom it was made.
In what a fraudulent light must Mr. Washington's character appear to the world, when his declarations and his conduct are compared together! Here follows the letter he wrote to the committee of Public Safety, whilst Jay was negotiating in profound secrecy this treacherous treaty.
"GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States of America, to the Representatives of the French People, members of the Committee of Public Safety of the French Republic, the great and good friend and ally of the United States.
"On the intimation of the wish of the French republic, that a new minister should be sent from the United States, I resolved to manifest my sense of the readiness with which my request was fulfilled [that of recalling Genet] by immediately fulfilling the request of your government [that of recalling Morris.]
"It was some time before a character could be obtained, worthy of the high office of expressing the attachment of the United States to the happiness of our allies, and drawing closer the bonds of our friendship. I have now made choice of Mr. James Monroe, one of our distinguished citizens, to reside near the French republic, in quality of minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America. He is instructed to bear to you sincere solicitude for your welfare, and to cultivate with zeal the cordiality so happily subsisting between us. From a knowledge of his fidelity, probity and good conduct, I have entire confidence that he will render himself acceptable to you, and give effect to our desire of preserving and advancing, on all occasions, the interest and connection of the two
nations. I beseech you, therefore, to give full credence to whatever he shall say to you, on the part of the United States, and, most of all, when he shall assure you that your prosperity is an object of our affection and I pray God to have the French republic in his holy keeping.
"G. WASHINGTON."

Extracts from "Principles of Nature," published by Elihu Palmer, President of the Theistical Society in New York.—
No. 4.
THOUGH no one who has seen the proofs, can doubt of the existence of a Theistical Society , yet few may be aware of the horrid tendency of the principles adopted and propagated by said society. Mr. Palmer not only presides, and lectures to them, but has published a book, that to his instructions may accompany them to their closets. The following are some farther extracts:
"A God that inspires people with lies is worse that no God at all, and such is the character of the Bible-God, if the passages of scripture cited above are to be credited." p. 139.
"This book contains maxims and commands which are said to have come from God, which would disgrace the character of any honest man, and make him a candidate for a State Prison, or the gallows." p. 143.
"Of all the books that ever were published, Volney's ruins is pre-eminent in entitled to the appellation of Holy writ, and ought to be appointed to be read in Churches ; not by his Majesty's special command, but by the universal consent and approbation of all those who love nature, truth and human happiness.—P. 148. 149.
"The characters spoken of in scripture, as favorites of Heaven, such as Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Jesus and Paul, are none of them good moral characters." p. 156.
"The savage of America has excelled in the patient fortitude of suffering beyond all that can be boasted by all the Christian martyrs of the world; yet this uncultivated man of the western world, holds in contempt the doctrines and promises of the Christian religion." p. 159.
"The ignorance and stupidity of Moses, Joshua and Jesus, were exposed, and their opinions were sacrificed upon the altar of philosophical truth and mathematical demonstration." p. 182.
"The writings of Paine, bear the most striking relation to the immediate improvement and moral felicity of the intelligent world. He writes upon principle, and he always understands the principle on which he writes; he reasons without logic, and convinces without argumentation—he strangles error by his first grasp, and develops truth with much simplicity, but with irresistible force. He is one of the first and best of writers, and probably the most useful man that ever existed upon the face of the earth. His moral and political writings are equally excellent, and the beneficial influence of the principles for which he has contended will be felt through all succeeding ages. Volney and Condorcet, Godwin and Barlow, are justly entitled to the universal gratitude and applause of the human race." p. 184. 185.
From the last quotation, the reader may learn much. He may learn the political as well as the religious character of Mr. Palmer and the flock among whom he labors. They are in sentiment with Paine who has publicly declared his opposition to the present constitution of the U. States. In his letter to President Washington he says, "If I live to return to America I will use all my endeavors to have them (certain parts of the constitution) altered." The reader will also see the approbation which is implied of this seditious letter to one of the greatest men and truest patriots our country has ever produced—the industry which has been used in circulating the writings of Paine—and the affectionate invitation to return to America. That there are many who have been attached to wild democracy, who are firm believers in divine revelation, is unquestionable; but that in the Theistical Society democracy and infidelity go hand and hand, is as clear as the noon-day; for Palmer their teacher and President has said that Paine's moral and political writings are equally excellent."

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17.
CHARITY SERMON.
A Sermon may be expected this evening, it fair, at 6 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. S. S. SMITH at the Presbyterian Church. A collection will be raised at the request of the St. Andrews Society, for the poor of the town in general. The Society anticipate their annual solicitation for charity, having reason to think that their Chaplain will be absent on the day when that solicitation would of course have been made.
It is hoped that those who may attend Divine Service this evening will come prepared to add alms to their prayers that their prayers may be heard, and their alms be had in remembrance in the sight of God.
The following Notification which appeared in the Mississippi Herald of the 16th of September, is re-published, as it may concern the interests of individuals in this part of the United States.
TO PERSONS CLAIMING LANDS WITHIN THE MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY.
The agreement for an amicable settlement of units within the state of Georgia, which was entered into on the twenty-fourth of April last, between the commissioners on the part of the United States, and those on the part of Georgia, duly authorized for that purpose; and in which agreement, Georgia has ceded to the United States all her title and claim to the jurisdiction and soil of the lands situated within the Mississippi Territory, as ratified by the Legislature of that state, on the 16th day of July last.
By the second article of the aforesaid agreement, it is declared: "That all persons who, on the twenty-seventh day of October, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, were actual settlers within the territory thus ceded, shall be confirmed in all the grants, legally and fully executed prior to that day, by the former British government of West-Florida, or by the government of Spain, and in the claims which may be derived from any actual survey or settlement, made under the act of the state of Georgia, entitled "An act for laying out a district of land, situate on the river Mississippi, and within the bounds of this state, into a county to be called Bourbon," passed the seventh day of February, one thousand, seven hundred and eighty-five.
The undersigned has been directed to furnish the department of state, with the best information he can obtain, as to the extent of the claims recognized in the said second article of agreement with Georgia: And to enable him to render his information upon this subject as accurate and full as possible, he is instructed to invite the claimants falling under the article aforesaid, to meet prior to the first day of November next, in the office of the clerk of the county court, in which the land claimed is situated, the particular authority and extent of their respective claims, and the chain of title derived to the present claimant from the original title; taking care to note particularly their dates.
The clerks will be directed to give due attendance at their respective offices, until the day above mentioned; and it is hoped, that the claimants, whose interests are so immediately involved, will punctually attend to this invitation.
There are other claims for land, within this territory, which the undersigned has also been instructed to enquire into and report the same to the department of state; and among which are:
1st. The claims (if any) derived under the French government, previous to the peace of 1763.
2d. Claims derived under the British and Spanish governments previous to the 27th day of Oct. 1795, but unaccompanied by actual settlement at that period.
3d. Claims derived under the Spanish government subsequent to the Spanish treaty, of one thousand, seven hundred and ninety-five.
4th. Claims founded on the third section of the act of Georgia, commonly called the Bourbon act, and not accompanied by actual survey or settlement prior to the twenty-seventh day of October, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety-five, and which said third section is hereunto annexed.
The claimants in these cases are also requested to file with the clerk of the county where the land is situated, a particular statement of the nature and extent of
their claims, by the first day of November next, and they shall be transmitted with the others to the department of state. As those description of claims are not included in the guaranty of the second article of the compromise with Georgia, the consideration of them by Congress will be barred by the third article, after the period of one year from the assent of Georgia to the instrument of compromise; it is therefore highly necessary that the persons interested should without delay make known their claims, in order that the same may be reported to the government.
Those persons who may be at a loss for the form of stating the claims to be filed, may receive information, upon application to the respective clerks.
WM. CHAS. COLE CLAIBORNE.
Town of Washington, } Sept. 9, 1802. }
Since Tom Paine has arrived in this country at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Jefferson, notwithstanding all the assertions of the democrats that Mr. Jefferson never invited him, the papers of that party have been filled with encomiums upon his services in our revolution, and with testimonials of congress and of General Washington, expressive of their approbation of some of his writings. Upon the time principal we shall probably be soon indulged with familiar testimonials in favour of Benedict Arnold. They both rendered services to this country, & those services were recorded & extolled before either of them proved to the world that he was a villain and a traitor.
The grand project of uniting the Danube to the Adriatic Gulph, is in full activity, and the canal from Vienna to Trieste is reported to be more than three fourths completed.
"These are imperial works and worthy kings."
Independent of these great effects, which this junction of the Black and Adriatic seas is eventually calculated to operate upon the commerce of the East of Europe and Lower Asia, it may be expected that the exportation of the noble wines of Hungary will considerably effect the foreign consumption of those of Portugal and France. Those of Offen, which is a city as large, and very near to Pest, the capital of that kingdom, are described as resembling Red Port, but with a more exquisite flavour, and a stronger body. The Tokay, and other of the finest wines of Hungary, are already well known, though almost unattainable in this country. [ Lon. pap. ]
NEW INVENTION.
Mr. Voight, chief coiner in the mint of the United States, has invented an Engine for Turning Screws of any given diameter, and of any number of threads, to an inch. This invention was first designed for cutting screws for watches; so as uniformly to adjust them to the length on the main spring—a thing hitherto very difficult in practice, and without which it is impossible a watch can keep regular time. By the aid of this machine a person of common mechanical abilities, and without any knowledge of mathematics, may adjust the screw to the spring with the greatest exactness—or turn metallic cylinders and cones of any length or diameter, to a mathematical certainty.
We understand that Mr. Voight, from patriotic principles, has no intention of obtaining a patent, but to leave it open to his fellow citizens.

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 Leesburgh 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 in Nansemond county near Suffolk, lying on the road from Suffolk to Norfolk and on 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.

BY SAMUEL BISHOP
For publishing by Subscription,
LETTERS
ON THE
Elementary Principles
OF
EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton,
Author of the "Memoirs of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have, within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, is its pre eminently useful. Led by her subject into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied these subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which these inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated.
[An Extract from the above Work.]
"From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally proposed, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the subjection of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race."
* The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type.
II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay.
Subscriptions received by the Publisher.
