ON EDUCATION.
No. XIV.
FAVORITISM , or partiality in family government, has a baneful tendency and pernicious effects. Envy, jealousy, hatred and discord naturally spring from this poisonous root. The favorite child often suffers by the partiality that is shown it. It is viewed with an evil eye and thwarted with a careless malignity by the other children; whose affections, in the mean while become alienated from their parents.
The tragical story of Joseph is an affecting illustration of this point. Joseph was abhorred by his brethren. Their diabolical malice against him was wrought up to such a pitch that they at first conspired together to take away his life; but afterwards, at the intercession of the eldest brother, commuting the punishment of death, they seized him, and totally unfeeling and deaf to his tears and intreaties, they stripped him and cast him into a horrible pit. From thence they dragged him out, and sold him to a company of Arabian Slave dealers, who were travelling to Egypt; expecting and intending that he should consume his days under the most bitter bondage, in a strange land. The unnatural and atrocious cruelty of this deed was almost beyond parallel; and it was directly occasioned by parental partiality.—The cause of the implacable and murderous hatred, which Joseph experienced from his brethren, is briefly mentioned by the sacred historian, in the following words.—“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colors. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.” What a fund of useful instruction to parents is contained in these few lines! How exactly do they characterize human nature, which is weak in good men, and wicked in others!
The favoritism of pious Jacob towards his youngest son, was irrational in its source. It seems to have originated, not in the real merits of that amiable youth; but in a circumstance wherein there could be no merit at all. He loved him more than all the others, “Because he was the son of his old age.” This preference of the good minded father, thus springing from a blind impulse, was marked by such overt acts of partiality, as could not fail to produce family discord; and which brought upon Joseph the hatred of his brethren, to such a degree, that “they could not speak peaceably unto him.”
One instance of the favoritism of Jacob is particularly noticed by the sacred penman. He made for the favorite son “a coat of many colors;” which distinguished him from his brethren, who had been clad in the plain and coarse garb of shepherds. This, alas! proved to be a fatal coat both to the wearer and the giver. It was this coat that Joseph wore when he went to seek his brethren, and found them at Dothan. It was the hated sight of this coat that stimulated their murderous rage. But for this badge of parental partiality, ferocious as they were, they might, perhaps, have relented toward the hapless youth, when “they saw the bitterness of his soul,” and when with bended knees, with folded hands and streaming eyes, he besought their compassion. This “coat of many colours,” torn off with indignation and reeking with the blood in which it had been dipped, was finally a spectacle of inexpressible horror to the father. It pierced his soul with the deepest agonies, which were not transient, but lasting; insomuch that “he refused to be comforted,” and resolved “to go down into the grave mourning.” Never, perhaps, since the fig leaf covering of our first parents, did a garment occasion so many tragical effects, as the gaudy coat of Joseph; by which his pious, but doting father, had imprudently distinguished him from his brethren.
This short sketch of sacred history is to parents a solemn warning against a partial treatment of their children. “Beware” it seems to say to them, “of distinguishing any one of your children from the rest by a finer garment, or by any marks of favor which imply a superior attachment.” Avoid partiality, that root of bitterness and mischief in families.”
The particular kind of parental favoritism, which we have now been viewing, is remarkable, as well for its frequency, as for the family evils which it occasions. Parents, who are far advanced in years, are often seen to manifest a preference for the younger part of their offspring, and for no other reason, than, “because they are the children of their old age.” Thus they wound their own children, as it were with a two edged sword ; alienating and embittering the minds of those, who find themselves neglected, and, at the same time, weakening and befooled the favorite, the darling child of old age, by overweening attentions, and a profusion of childish caresses. Another kind of partiality in parents, which is equally unreasonable and peculiarly cruel in its nature and effects, is that which arises from the circumstance of the sexual difference in their offspring. Why should sons engross a greater portion of parental affection and care, than daughters? Why should the education of the latter be thought, comparatively, of small importance? Why should they be overlooked and neglected in the solemn Testament of their dying fathers? Why should they be denied an equal share in the distribution of patrimonial property? Why should they be left poor and dependent, while their brothers are enriched by bountiful legacies? Does Nature dictate such distinctions? No.—Parents are bound to their sons & to their daughters by the same ties of Nature.—Their blood runs equally in the veins of each. The genuine feelings of Nature plead as powerfully for the daughter, as for the son. But the voice of Nature is stifled by Pride. Natural affection and all the finer feelings of the human heart, in parents, yield to an absurd ambition, to bestow their principal attentions upon, and to place their property exclusively in the possession, of that part of their offspring, by which their own names are to be borne up in the world.
SENEX.
SPANISH BREED OF SHEEP.
Extract of a letter from the honorable D. Humbley, to Dr. A. Dexter, second Vice President of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society.
[CONCLUDED.]
“It a fact, confirmed by experience, beyond contradiction, that the quality of the wool does not depend on the quality of the pastures in Spain, because the same pastures have maintained, from time immemorial, two different breeds, which have never assimilated, one remarkable for the shortness and fineness, the other for the length and coarseness of the wool. It is moreover equally well proved, that the quality does not depend on the journeys which the greater part of the Merinos make annually, because there are flocks of the same race which remain perpetually in the same district, and whose fleeces are of the same consistency precisely as the others. The flocks that do travel, or do not travel, which are nourished with plentiful food, and taken good care of, by excluding the deformed, sick and weak from becoming breeders, are preserved in all the purity of the original stock, while those in either predicament, migrating or resident, which are subjected to feel the effects of scarcity and negligence, invariably degenerate.
“The vigilance of the shepherds, in remaining day and night with their charge in reserving the best formed and finest woolled only for breeding, and in knowing and attending to each individual of their flocks, has doubtless contributed much to preserve them from degenerating down to the present day.
“This breed, like most of all others, thrives best in uplands and short pastures; but it is reputed to be so singularly hardy, as to endure rain, snow and cold as well as any northern race, and to support itself in parched southern climates, by feeding on weeds and vegetables which most others would not taste. Without entering into the detail of enriching the land, on which they graze or are folded, by their manure, especially where a rotation of crops is systematically pursued, I should not omit to mention, it has been asserted, that a moderate sized farm, for example, a hundred acres skilfully manured, may be made to maintain one hundred sheep, and moreover, to produce as much in crops as it would have done had it been employed only in cultivation, and not charged with their nourishment.
“That rams has been let for the season in England, for from 200 to 1000 guineas each, is
a fact sufficiently known to those who are acquainted with the history of agricultural proceedings in that country, and it demonstrates conclusively the wonderful passion that prevails for bettering the breed. The successful experiments in France, on the same subject, have been announced in a manner which demands credit. At Rambouillet, a farm originally appropriated for making improvements by the ancient government, which is represented not to be a very good position, on account of its humidity, a pure Spanish flock has been maintained for many years, by the attention and care of the superintendents, not only in a perfectly healthy but gradually improving condition, in such sort, that the quality of the wool is as fine as that of the best Merinos actually in Spain, while the quantity is considerably more than doubled. Where large flocks are kept in the last mentioned country, the sheep do not produce, upon an average, more than from two to three pounds. The rams at Rambouillet yield from 10 to 12, and the ewes from 5 to 6 each. From this flock, many small flocks, both of the pure and mixed breeds, have descended.
“Several intelligent authors in Europe, who have treated of the most speedy and efficacious modes of improving wool, have stated, that where the fineness of the original flock of Merinos prevents so rapid a propagation of the pure race as could be wished, a mixed breed may be produced by Spanish rams and well chosen ewes of the country, whose descendants in the fourth or fifth generation, will yield fleeces nearly or quite as fine as the first quality of those which are produced in Spain.
RICHMOND, October 9.
There are few private documents that will attract so much public attention, at the same time excite such general indignation, as Mr. Jefferson's letters to Mr. Callender, published in the last Recorder. Letters of this description are the most precious morsels of political information which can be procured, for they serve to unfold the character of our president in plainer colours and more precise terms than the most minute biography could possibly accomplish. The advocates of Mr. Jefferson will henceforth in vain declaim upon his impartiality, his political equity, his uncorrupted patriotism, his sagacious prudence, and the purity of his intentions. In vain will they repeat his veneration for Washington and his regard for the constitution of the United States.—To no purpose will the cringing minions of Jacobinism descend upon the moral integrity of the statesman of Monticello.—His words to Callender will never be forgot in the minds of Americans: “I thank you for the proof sheets you inclosed me. Such papers cannot fail to produce the best effect. They inform the thinking part of the nation, and these again supported by the tax-gatherers, as their vouchers, set the people to rights.”
Let the reader remember that those same proof sheets contained the grossest abuse, and vilest calumny upon the most virtuous character in the United States—that they declared the federal constitution to be a job of Tories and a British party—that, moreover, they sanctioned all the insults which were offered to the late administration by the frantic hand of demagogues—that they vindicated the western insurrection, the rebellion of Fries, and every species of lawless assemblage that was instituted for the purpose of disturbing the peace of society and unhinging the wheels of government—Yet these are the papers which Mr. Jefferson declared were to inform the thinking part of the nation, and to set the people to rights! A proper respect for the office which Mr. Jefferson now holds forbids us to comment farther upon this painful subject. Were it not for this just regard which ought always to be preserved for the office of presidency, we could draw a picture that would even stagger the mind of Mr. Jefferson himself—we could hold up to him a mirror, in which he would see a proper contrast between the actions of Washington and those of his own; where he would perceive the true distinction between virtue and vice, between liberty and licentiousness, between real and affected patriotism, and between the conduct of insurrectionary demagogues and a proper submission to the laws of his country. At present we can only recommend to Mr. Jefferson to reflect seriously upon those points, and to peruse once more those pages which he thought were to produce the best effect. The Prospect before Us, which was so agreeable to his soul and congenial to his feelings when he was a candidate for power, may appear, now that he has accomplished his object, not to have the same good tendency, or to produce the best effect upon society. The public, however, will form a judgment of our president's character from the letters themselves. They are sufficient, without any remarks whatever to afford grounds for the most decided opinion.
NEW-YORK, October 11.
Captain Skinner, of the ship Iris from London, has politely favoured the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a regular series of London Papers to the evening of the 27th August; and with Lloyd's Lists and a Price Current, also to that date.
It remains questionable whether the suppression of English newspapers in France has actually taken place. The fact is not only unnoticed in the official Journal of the French Government; but Paris papers to the 24th August (four days after the rumoured prohibition) continue their extracts from London newspapers in the same manner: heretofore.
The Religious of La Trappe are ordered by the Helvetic Government to evacuate the Swiss territory before the expiration of the month of October. They are to be allowed six months to dispose of the property acquired at Laval Sainte in 1791, when they quitted France to procure an asylum in Switzerland. The House of Education is suppressed, and all the Youth under their care have been sent home to their parents.
Captain Sanford, of the brig Dyett from New-Orleans, informs us that on the 6th of September, off the Chesapeake, he spoke the schooner _____, captain Trammel, out 11 days from Cape François, bound to Philadelphia, who informed him that the Negroes at the Cape employed themselves every night in destroying the plantations, several of which were seen on fire from the labour; and that General Le Clerc had issued an order prohibiting the exportation of cotton and sugar from the island.
The Iris, on her homeward passage, spoke a vessel from Lisbon, the captain of which informed him that the differences between the United States and the emperor of Morocco were accommodated amicably.
Prices of Stocks at London, August 27, at 12 o'clock—3 per Cent. Consols 66—7½. 3 per cent. reduced 68½. Omnium 12¼—10 dist.
A regular file of Paris Papers to the 22d of August is received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser. The leading articles have been anticipated by the last arrivals from London and Liverpool; but the following are novel and interesting, and we believe passed unnoticed by the English Editors.
From the “Journal du Commerce” of the 18th August.
Citizen Ludot, member of the Tribune, is named Grand-Judge at St. Domingo, in the room of Citizen Diperon deceased. It is asserted that General Victor is going to Louisiana in the capacity of Captain-General, and that the Tribune Laureat is appointed Prefect of that interesting colony.
We learn from Genoa that a Neapolitan frigate has captured a Turkish vessel in the canal of Procida. Those seas must be infested with a great number of privateers waiting for the Neapolitan fleet, on board of which her majesty the Queen of Naples was to embark at Trieste.
At Rome, the arm of the Conqueror followed the plough; in France, our brave warriors are going to increase the blessings of intercourse by digging canals, and peace will continue to render their courage and devotion useful. The canal which is to join the Sambre to the Scheldt, passing under the walls of Brussels, is about depriving its existence from the victorious hands of the French soldiers.

Late from Europe. By the brig Recovery, from Greenock, and ship Iris, from London, the editors of the New York Gazette have received London papers to the 28th, and Greenock to the 31st of August. The following extracts are the most important of their contents.
London, August 27. The Walsingham Packet arrived at Falmouth on Monday last, in nine days from Lisbon. She brings intelligence of the French Minister having suddenly left that place on the morning of the tenth inst. in consequence, it is stated, of his having taken offence with the Court of Portugal, because it would not dismiss the Minister of Police, who had been guilty of insisting upon examining some baggage belonging to the French minister.
The following article appeared in the Official Gazette of Lisbon, on the fourteenth:
"Lisbon, August 14." "General Lafnes, envoy extraordinary, and a minister plenipotentiary of the French republic, left this Court in the morning of the 10th instant; a measure which he took from his own proper will, and which is the more unexpected, as constant and repeated civilities and attentions have been paid to him by this Court, in demonstration of the constant friendship, perfect harmony, and good understanding, subsisting between this Monarchy and the French republic; as there does not exist any actual object of discussion between the two governments which can alter, in the smallest degree, the happy relations of this country with France, relations which this Court desires efficaciously to promote, and even to render more intimate.
Copy of the Note of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the different Ministers resident at the court of Portugal.
"General Lafnes, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the French republic, having adopted the unexpected resolution of withdrawing from the court, his royal highness the Prince Regent, my master, has ordered me to communicate to you, this event, which is the more unlooked for as he had received the most ardent and distinguished testimonies of regard, founded upon the most perfect harmony and entire good understanding subsisting between this Monarchy and the French republic; and this too at a moment when there existed no object of discussion which could in the smallest degree affect the friendly relations which his royal highness desires, and will make it his study to promote. You will have the goodness to give notice of the above to your respective courts."
The above are official. A private letter from Lisbon states, "It is said that the departure of General Lafnes is grounded on the refusal of certain satisfaction required by France, and tacitly conceded on the conclusion of peace, with the view, as appears, of eluding them: which is proved by the fact, since General Lafnes, agreeably to the orders of the First Consul, demanded either the immediate fulfilment of them, or passports to depart. The last was complied with, and he left Lisbon four days ago with his Secretary of Legation, proceeded in all haste to Madrid, where, no doubt, he will arrive this morning. His wife was to set off this day by the packet for England, in order to proceed more commodiously to France, having to nurse a young citizen scarce a month old. Madame Lafnes is a woman of the most amiable disposition and manners, and of the most correct conduct. It is said that General Lafnes made a free eulogium on the Prince Regent to M. Pinto de Valsemond, stating that the Prince was good for nothing but—(a very coarse expression) and that his Ministers knew it well, since every one of them was a despot that reigned for the purpose of enriching himself and committing iniquities for which there was nobody to call them to account."
This violent tirade shews the character of the General, who is a brave soldier but no statesman. This tirade too he actually pronounced with a loud voice at the very time when M. Pinto waited upon him to beg him to be quiet for some days; and when it was stated to him that hopes were entertained of prevailing on the Prince Regent to agree to his demand. An hour after, however, his passports were sent him."
We have to add another report, that the ground of dissatisfaction conceived by General Lafnes was, the revenue officers having insisted on examining some baggage coming to the Ambassador, or under his protection and safe guard. He applied for satisfaction, and insisted on the dismissal of the Prime Minister, which being refused, he withdrew, as we have stated.
This being settling day at the Stock exchange, a considerable bustle prevailed in consequence of the various speculations, which were to be adjusted, but we have not heard that the deficiencies are of very great magnitude. Several policies have been opened some time since on the terms of paying ten guineas to receive one hundred, if Omnim should fall to 10 per cent. discount, which were yesterday determined. Some persons, however seeing, the state of the market for some days past, sold Stock to lessen the risk of their Policy Contracts. Several wagers of 1000 pound were also yesterday lost and won by parties in the House, respecting the fall of Omnim to 10 per cent. The Prices this day at one o'clock were as follows:—3 per cent. Consols, 67 3/4 68 1 3/4—Omnim 11 11 1 5 12 11 cis.
Greenock, August 31.
Paris papers to the date of August 23d have been received since our last; their contents are of very considerable importance. On the 21st. the Members of the Conservative Senate took the oath of fidelity prescribed by the new Constitution. The Minister for Foreign Affairs then reported the arrangements which had been made, in order to carry the Treaty of Luneville into effect. After hearing this report, the First Consul retired with the same pomp, and attended by an immense crowd of the Citizens.
The report of the Minister for Foreign Affairs relative to the Treaty of Luneville, contains the ideas of the French Government on the subject of indemnities. The principles there laid down are no wise novel; they are such as have long obviously directed the conduct of France, in the new arrangements of the Germanic States. The concentration of the States of the three great Powers of Austria, France and Prussia; the interposing certain small States between, to prevent the immediate contact of these powerful neighbours; and the rendering Prussia the counterpoising weight to the House of Austria—are the fundamental maxims laid down in these arrangements by the French politicians.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14.
The following is a correct statement of the majorities of votes given in the different counties of Delaware, for a member to represent them in congress:
  Maj. for Rodney in N. Castle county, 957   Do. for Bayard in Kent, 219   Do. for do. in Sussex, 723   Majority for Rodney, 15   Baltimore Telegraph.
DELAWARE DEGRADED.
It appears, by private accounts from Delaware, that the election in that state for member of congress, has eventuated in favor of Cæsar A. Rodney, the democratic candidate, by a majority of FIFTEEN! The calculations which had been made on this subject, by correct and well informed individuals, having proved fallacious, an enquiry naturally suggests itself: viz. Has this event been produced by the fair and spontaneous current of public opinion? We are bold to answer this question in the negative. We are confident that the respectable and independent citizens of Delaware, instead of being vitiated in their ideas of government, are daily becoming more confirmed in their admiration of the system adopted by Washington, and pursued with success by Adams. There is no dereliction of Federal principles: This political disgrace has been incurred by an influence of the most shameful description. The voice of the state has been smothered by the influx of worthless foreigners, who, possessing neither morals nor property, have been permitted to mingle their corrupt suffrages in behalf of anarchy.
Phil. Gaz.
We understand that letters have been received in this country from Algiers, as late as the 7th of July, which furnish the following information:
The Dey of Algiers has demanded of the American consul to direct the United States frigate the George Washington, to be brought to Algiers, for the purpose of being sent by the Dey to Constantinople, to transport a quantity of spars and other articles. The consul remonstrated, but in vain. The Dey directed him to write immediately, and obtain an answer as soon as possible.
On the evening, however, of the same day, the Dey informed the consul that, considering the great distance of the United States, he had determined to call upon the consuls of nearer nations. Such demand is stated to have been made of the Spanish and Danish consuls.
On the 26th June a Tripolitan corsair, with the American brig Franklin as a prize arrived at Algiers. The claim of the consul for a restoration of the vessel and crew, had not on the 7th of July succeeded.
On the 16th of June, three ships of the line and two frigates of Spain threatened a blockade of Algiers, and demanded all captured Spanish vessels. The Dey threatened war against Spain, which was only averted on the following terms: The payment, in money and presents to the amount of 132,000 dollars; a renunciation by Spain of her claim to captured vessels and cargoes; and a departure of the Spanish fleet.
On the 22nd of June, in an interview with the British consul and Sir Robert Barlow, the Dey demanded a clange of the British passports, and a compliance with his old claim of 187,000 dollars, declared if these terms were not complied with in five months, he would make war against England.
On the 30th of June, the Dey demanded of Thanville, the French agent, sums alledged to be due, or promised, amounting to 500,000 dollars, and threatened war against France, if not complied with in 40 days.
It is further stated, that Algiers and Tunis are on the verge of a war.

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 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 Pfister 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 Pfister 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 Kettocot-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. Lots in the City of Washington.
Two improved lots near the Capitol, square 634. The improvements are; on each an elegant three story brick house.
Four other unimproved lots on the Eastern Branch, No. 5, 12, 13 and 14, in square 667. These lots are advantageously situated on the water.

NOTICE.
All Persons are hereby forewarned from purchasing from Mr. Andrew Ramsay, or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the Name of POOL, which I claim as my Property, and for which there is a suit instituted and now depending and undetermined in the court of Alexandria, and no doubt is entertained of a decision in my favour.
LUCY WILSON.
Sept. 16. zaw6t
To all whom it may concern.
A VERY extraordinary Notice appearing in the Alexandria Advertiser of yesterday, under the signature of Lucy Wilson, "forewarning all Persons from purchasing from me or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the name of POOL," I deem it proper to state certain Facts relating thereto, which cannot be controverted either by her or her Agent. Negro POOL attached to, was left to my Mother by her Sister, Mrs. Ann J. Gordon, along with the residue of her Estate, not specially mentioned in her Will, and the only Negro herein left to Lucy Wilson, is one she now possesses, of the name of Lucy. Pool has been in my Mother's quiet Possession for about twelve Years past, and is now my Property by Deed of Gift from her, dated July last. I shall now only further add, by introducing part of a Letter in my possession, from one of the Executors, whose veracity will not be called in question, of which the following is an Extract: "I request that in several conversations with Mrs. Gordon, while she was ill at my House, she complained of —'s cruel treatment of Pool, and said she had determined to keep the Boy, that he should not be again in —'s power; that she had never given John Gordon a Deed for him, but she would make Lucy Gordon agendi for her taking the Boy back again, by giving her Lucy, Hannah's Daughter, and these sentiments she expressed at the time I wrote her Will. Pool was in Mrs. Gordon's possession at the time of her death, and was afterwards inventoried and hired out as part of her Property. I related these circumstances to Mr. Campbell Wilson and Mrs. Wilson"
