CHARLESTON, (S. C.) July 4.
PUBLIC MEETING.
In consequence of the information which was received by Thursday's mail, of the attack made upon the United States' frigate Chesapeake, by the British ship of war Leopard, and the subsequent prostration of our national sovereignty, a public meeting of the citizens was called in a hand-bill and to the evening paper, to be held at the exchange yesterday afternoon. The meeting took place at four o'clock, when major John Ward was called to the chair. After some observations on the purpose of the meeting, a committee was appointed, to obtain information on the subject, and to report their opinion on the measures which it may be necessary to pursue, on this extraordinary occurrence, at an adjourned meeting, to be held on Wednesday next, at ten o'clock at the Circular Church in Meeting-street. The following gentlemen were appointed the committee:
Major John Ward Gen. C. C. Pinkney, Thomas Somersall Peer Freneau, Langdon Cheeves John Johnson jun. Felix Warley John Blake Major Robertson Thos Lee Dr D vid Ramsay Col Roper, maj. T Rouse Major Pinckney His honor the Intendant.
June 10.
A public meeting was held the 8th instant, in the Circular Church agreeably to adjournment, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed on the 3d inst. to report their opinion on the measures necessary to be pursued on the extraordinary and unprecedented occurrences which had called the citizens together. Never perhaps in so large a popular meeting, was there more respectability of character, or more unanimity of sentiment; every person present saw the dangerous crisis to which our country has been precipitated by the lawless violence, and every one felt that ardor of patriotism, which yields the consideration of personal feeling and party prejudices, to the love of country and the general intercourse and dignity of the nation. The spirit of moderation and good sense which presided over the meeting, was as honorable to the citizens as conducive to the great purposes for which they were convened. The following resolutions were the result of their deliberations.
At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of Charleston, a numerous and most respectable assembly was held at the Circular Church, when the following sentiments & resolutions, handed by a committee appointed for the purpose of draughting the same, were unanimously agreed to.
Whilst we mournfully deplore the fate of our fellow citizens, who were recently slaughtered on board the Chesapeake, our minds are filled with emotions unutterably indignant. The long and patient forbearance of our government, under reiterated wrongs, we ascribe, for we know the spirit of our countrymen, to a serious desire to preserve that peace which was so nobly won by our ancestors; and whilst we appreciate the motive, we believe there is a point beyond which insulted freemen can, not go, without prostrating their own honor and the dignity of their country.
When the just and honorable neutrality of our beloved country has been repeatedly invaded by a nation, who profess to be on terms of amity with us; when our various applications for satisfaction have not only terminated unsuccessfully, but have been followed by more aggravated outrages; when, finally, our sovereignty and national independence have been wantonly attacked on our own shores, and almost in our harbor, by a people in the very act of receiving from us the hospitality and comforts of friendly and civilized intercourse, it becomes us as a free and independent people, if we mean to preserve our rank among the nations of the earth, to resent, and by manly and efficient measures, to punish the insolent aggression.
The crisis seems at length to have arrived, when the spirit of the American nation, which has long reposed in peace, must be called upon to avenge its wounded honor. The late detectable act demands imperiously, a firm resistance, and will justify a signal and exemplary revenge.
Therefore Resolved, That the public sentiment of this city is in unison with that of our fellow citizens of Norfolk, as expressed in their resolutions of the 24th of June last.
That the cruel and unjustifiable act of hostility committed on our peace by the
British ship of war Leopard—which seems to have been premeditated and authorised loudly demands immediate reparation, and will justify the government (if it shall in its wisdom deem it proper) in resorting immediately to arms, and for this purpose in calling forth the utmost energies of the nation.
Resolved, That the indignation excited by the late event pervades all classes of the community: Is paramount to all local and selfish considerations, and that we will be ready (and do solemnly pledge our lives and fortunes) to support the government of our country in all measures as in its wisdom it may adopt, to obtain full, complete and honorable reparation.
Resolved, That the pretence by which it has been attempted to justify, or to excuse this act, is unfounded; as by the law of nations there existed no right to demand the seamen who were said to be mutineers, and that under the constitution and laws of our country, their surrender was forbidden.
Resolved, That until the constituted authorities of our country shall be decided on this all-momentous subject, we will hold that man its enemy who shall directly or indirectly afford, to any British vessel of war, any succor or comfort; and we invite our fellow citizens, the pilots of this port, to co-operate with us in this measure, by withholding their professional services from any of the vessels of war of the British nation.
Resolved, That as a testimony of our deep regret, and as a respectful tribute to the memory of the unfortunate seamen who were slaughtered on board the Chesapeake, we will wear a crape on the left arm for the space of ten days; and we recommend to our fellow citizens generally to unite with us in this act.
Resolved, That the governor of this state, be requested to direct the militia promptly to arm and equip themselves, and to be prepared to obey the call of the general government; and further, to apply as much of the contingent fund, under his direction, as he thinks may be conveniently spared, to mount on travelling carriages the heavy ordnance of this city.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to call on the citizens of this state to subscribe in aid of the funds requisite to carry the above resolutions into effect.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the president of the U. S. to the governor of this state, to the mayor of the borough of Norfolk, and to our fellow citizens of Georgetown and Beaufort, and generally, by publication, to the citizens of every district in the state.
Resolved, That a committee of twenty-one members be appointed to carry the above resolutions into effect. And that Major John Ward, gen. Pinckney, Langdon Cheeves John Blake, major Robertson, Dr. Daniel Ramsay, colonel Roper major Rouse, major Pinckney Thomas Lee, Peter Freneau Thomas Somersall, John Johnson jun. Felix Warley, his honor the Intendant, general Washington colonel Rutledge, major Robert Howard, Keating L. Simons John Stoney, and Simon Magwood, constitute the committee for the above purpose.
(Signed) JOHN WARD
The thanks of the assembly were unanimously rendered to the members of the former committee, for their exertions, and for their well digested resolutions. Also to the chairman of the meeting the like thanks were rendered, for the spirited discharge of the duties of his office.
(Test) J. B. WHITE, Secretary.
SKETCH
Of the Proceedings of the Meeting of the Citizens, held on the 8th inst. at the Circular Church to receive the report of their Committee.
The Rev. Dr. Gallagher objected to the resolution which requested the governor of the state to hold the MILITIA in readiness, and to have the heavy artillery mounted on travelling carriages, &c. as interfering with the executive authority and unnecessary.
Col. Rutledge was in favor of the resolution as far as it went, but thought it did not go far enough. He wished the resolution to be amended by adding a request to have all the Militia properly armed and equipped.
Gen. Pinckney opposed this amendment. If they attempted too much, nothing would be done; there was heavy ordnance, but carriages would be wanting to convey the guns to the most proper place to annoy the enemy—it was therefore urgent to have carriages immediately provided—this the governor might provide for out of the contingent fund.
The comptroller general of the state observed, that there was money sufficient in the treasury to meet every call for the defence of the harbor, but it could not be drawn but by appropriations. This was an unreasonable time for the convening of the legislature. The contingent fund was alone at the disposal of the executive, and the balance unexpended must be inconsiderable. He was in favor of confining the resolution to the objects enumerated in the report.
Mr. W. Laughton Smith, was in favor of the resolution as reported. In such large assemblies it was difficult properly to digest propositions. The meeting on Friday were aware of this and had referred it to a large and respectable committee to speak their sentiments—this temper was no less honorable to the meeting than their confidence was honorable to the committee, for men who had always given pledges of their fidelity and patriotism, could do no otherwise than speak the genuine sentiments of the people; he thanked the committee, and assured them that they had fully anticipated his; he most cordially assented to the report. He differed from the reverend gentleman—on great emergencies it became the people to suggest measures to the executive, who would act with more energy after they had heard the public voice. He was sorry any difficulty had been started about funds, there could be no want of money to defend the country—every man who had a dollar in his pocket would cheerfully advance it on such an occasion; let the citizens be called upon and none will refuse. He, for one, was ready to set the example and contribute his proportion. He recommended to col. R. to withdraw his amendment.
Dr. D. Ramsay said, the amendment had been considered in the committee and negatived.
Col. R. withdrew a part but submitted the remainder to a vote, and on taking the question it was lost. The resolution as reported was then agreed to.
The report being gone through, a question arose on filling up the blank with the names of the committee, which the committee had recommended to consist of seven members.
Mr. W. Laughton Smith was of opinion that a large committee ought to be appointed, and moved that it consist of 21 members, which was agreed to, to wit, the former members and six other citizens. He then observed, that as it had been said the contingent fund would not reach all the objects just voted, it would be proper to resort to a certain and permanent fund, the pockets of the people; every means should be adopted to fortify and guard the town and harbor from aggression. If we could not throw gracie stones of eight hundred weight at our enemy, we might, at any rate, fire at them balls heavy enough to chastise their temerity, should they offer any insult. He moved that the committee be empowered, if necessary, to call on the citizens of the state for a subscription in aid of the contingent fund, to carry the resolves into full effect; this proposition was unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the committee and the chairman, and the meeting adjourned in the greatest harmony: every member present inspired but with one sentiment—WAR OR AMPLE REPARATION for the indignity offered to our sovereignty and independence.
Agreeable to a resolve adopted at the public meeting on Wednesday last the citizens of Charleston yesterday appeared, very generally, with crape round their arms "as a respectful tribute to the memory of the unfortunate seamen who were slaughtered on board the Chesapeake."
JULY 11.
To the Citizens of Charleston.
The committee who were honored by their fellow citizens at their late meeting, with the distinguished trust of carrying into execution the manly, but temperate resolutions which were then unanimously adopted, have, with concern, seen measures resorted to, which, although they may be dictated by the best feelings of the human heart, must lead, in their operation (if not to great licentiousness) at least to injustice and oppression. They beg leave, respectfully to state to their fellow citizens, as their deliberate opinion, that some late acts of violence, which have been committed on individuals, are not compatible with the dignified and honorable conduct of the citizens at their last meeting.
The committee confidently indulge a hope that their fellow citizens will do them the justice to believe, that they are, with them, feelingly alive to every insult which can be offered to the dignity and honor of their country; and that they consider the conduct of those who have provoked the late acts of violence, as unworthy of any other notice than con-
tempt. They therefore earnestly recommend to, and entreat their fellow citizens to abstain from such acts as have a tendency to subvert order and good government. They at the same time feel it their duty, seriously to advise the few, whose sentiments are not in unison with those which now govern the public mind, to observe a prudent and becoming silence.
Resolved unanimously, That the above commendations be agreed to, and published.
JOHN WARD, Chairman
(Test)
J. B. WHITE, Sec'y.
To the Ladies of Charleston.
It is to be hoped that the patriotic ladies of Charleston, will so far testify their deep regret and sorrow for the inhuman murder of their countrymen, on board the Chesapeake, by the English ship of war Leopard, as to appear tomorrow, with some external indication of their sorrow, and to wear the same for the space of 8 days from that time.
It is submitted that they should appear with a bow of crape upon their right shoulders.
SAVANNAH, (Geo.) July 7.
At a meeting of the citizens of Savannah, the Exchange, in consequence of a notice on by John Y. Noel, mayor, to take into consideration certain resolutions transmitted from the committee of correspondence of the borough of Norfolk, and town of Portsmouth, relative to the late daring and piratical outrage committed by a British squadron on the U.

The mayor proceeded to lay before the meeting the communication of the correspondence, and to state generally, the object of the present meeting; and invited the citizens to co-operate with their fellow citizens of Norfolk.
The following resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the mayor, for the prompt manner in which he has acceded to the request of the citizens of Norfolk, and invited his fellow citizens to convene this day.

Resolved, That the colonel commandant of the Chatham regiment be requested to be present, and particularly the volunteer companies, to move at a moment's warning any part to which the situation of his British majesty's ships or vessels of war may require, for the purpose of preventing supplies being afforded them.
Resolved, That the pilots be requested to refuse their professional aid to any armed vessels of the British nation, until the sense of the American government be known.
Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting be requested to communicate to his excellency the governor of this state the proceedings of this meeting, and to request him to direct the organization of the eastern district, so as to place them in a situation to assist, with promptitude and energy, any aggressions on the people of this state, by British armed force—and that he be also requested to order, provisionally, the delivery of arms to the militia, when exigencies may render it necessary.
Resolved, That the keeper of the light house be directed to hoist a signal on the appearance of British armed vessels; and that the collector be requested to keep the revenue cutter below, in order that she may communicate speedy intelligence of the approach of British armed vessels.
Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the chairman for the able discharge of the duties of his appointment; and that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the different Gazettes of this city.
By order of the chairman, THOS. U. P. CARLTON, Sec'y.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
PHILADELPHIA, July 18.
From our Correspondent at the Lazaretto, to July 18.
The ship Martha , captain Kingston, arrived here, was boarded off the Capes of Delaware, by the Squirrel sloop of war, which detained her 12 hours—Pressed 13 passengers. Said there was war between England and America, and threatened to send her to Halifax. The morning after saw her fire into a northern schooner, which came to and was taken possession of by her."
BALTIMORE, July 20.
COUNTERFEITS.
Counterfeit Ten-dollar bills, of the Hagerstown bank (in this state) are in circulation. We have seen one, which was offered at the Mechanics' Bank in this city. This note is, by a competent judge, pronounced genuine in paper and plate; but the name of the person to whom payable (Rezin Davis) is erroneously Reyno Davis; this and the president's and cashier's signatures are all written with the same pen, and are very poor imitations.
NORFOLK, July 17.
It was reported for some days past that parties from the British ships, were in the practice of landing near the Capes, for the purpose of procuring water and drawing their skins on the beach. On Wednesday the general dispatched a party of cavalry under the command of capt. Shepherd to Cape Henry, to ascertain the truth of these reports, and to act as occasion might require. This morning an express arrived to the general, and we understand that small parties had been landed for the purposes above mentioned. Two of the ships remain in Lynhaven, and two have gone out. We do not presume to say what are the orders of captain Shepherd, in case a landing is attempted, but we should suppose that to carry the president's proclamation into effect, the officers and crews of those ships being forbid to have any communication with the shore, that capt. Shepherd will prevent them from landing.
We are informed by a Potomac pilot, that on Wednesday, being about two and a half leagues from the light house on Cape Henry, spoke an English schooner of 14 guns, bound to Lynhaven Bay, where she went, but did not anchor. In about an hour afterwards the Triumph and Melampus got under weigh, and under a press of sail, with the schooner in company steered
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22.
We have been favored with the following anecdote of captain CHAUNCY , of the United States' navy. Its genuine YANKEE SPIRIT will not be unpleasant to our readers at this crisis.— [Balt. Ev. Post.
A short time since captain Chauncy returned from a voyage to the East Indies, which, under a furlough, he had made as a private citizen. On the passage home, in the Indian ocean, he was brought too by a British ship of war of 64 guns, and a lieutenant and 10 or or 12 men sent on board the ship. The British officer, an impertinent puppy, without even saluting captain C. as a person having any pretensions to gentility would have done, immediately ordered one of his men to stand by the helm. Capt. C. justly offended, told his sailor to knock any man down who attempted to take his place without his (Chauncy's) orders. The attempt was made, and the English sailor, by prostration , paid his tribute of veneration to the nerve of the Yankee.—The lieutenant now ripped out as many handsome oaths and threats as a person could wish, and advanced to take the helm himself—Chauncy stepped before him, and upon the Englishman's laying his hand upon it, seized him by the scruff of the neck and threw him overboard into the boat—Upon this the lieutenant and his men went off and captain C. was presently boarded by 60 or 70 men, among them the first officer of "his majesty's ship," who abused captain C. in words not a little for his treatment to the lieutenant; who replied, I treated the puppy as he deserved. He either did not know his duty and the manners of a gentleman, or would not exercise them. You have now a superior force on board the ship—do what you please.—Captain C. then went on board the man of war, where he received some mere compliments from the commodore, to which
he replied in the same manner; without giving way one inch to that spirit which characterises too many of the officers of the British navy. This spirit probably preserved him from the effects of their violence, and he was dismissed as the detestable Yankee rascal they had ever met with, without their knowing him as any thing else than the master of a common East-Indiaman.
Previous to leaving the British ship, capt. Chauncy very leisurely took a memorandum of the officers' names who had insulted him, saying, "perhaps I may come athwart you some day, when you shall know who and what I am."
From the Belfast Chronicle of May 20. MUTINY.
It has been stated in accounts brought from the Mediterranean, that the crew of the American ship Eliza Ann mutinied against the captain. They first tied his mate to a gun on the quarter deck, and used him most cruelly. They pricked him with the cook's tormentors, beat him over the ribs with staves in the most shocking manner, and left him for dead. They also treated the supercargo in the most cruel manner. They then attacked the master whom they struck a dreadful blow. His wife, with an infant in her arms, followed him; he fell back, and she caught him, crying, "You have murdered my husband." The ruffians answered, "We will do for you by and by." The wife gave her husband some liquor to drink, and he somewhat recovered from the stunning blow he received. When he recovered a little more, he sallied forth with pistols and sabre to disarm the villains. The mate and supercargo had by this time recovered sufficiently to aid him in this courageous attempt. They knew they had to contend with cowards at heart, and by stratagem and determined bravery, they succeeded in driving the mutineers forward, after wounding them, except the two ringleaders. The Niger frigate, capt. Hillyar, luckily soon after fell in with the ship off Cadiz, in a gale of wind, boarded her, and then took the ringleaders out. The master was then lying dangerously ill. The Niger then sent an officer and 4 men on board to navigate her to Gibraltar, where the mutineers will be brought to trial. The two ringleaders are Englishmen born; their names are John Cross , alias Daniel Crosswright , and Robert Warrington . The former has since given himself up as a deserter from his majesty's ship Warrior . The ship had a great many dollars on board, with other treasure, of which they intended to plunder her.

New Invented Oven.
I HAVE obtained from the general government an exclusive privilege in an Oven I have invented on entire new principles, for baking all kinds of bread, the advantages of my plan over those hitherto used are in the usual mode: The oven is first heated the fire scraped out and the dough put in to bake, when the oven is hottest and as the bread bakes the oven gradually cools, it will surely be conceded when bread is first put into an oven it is most tender and least capable of bearing heat—on my plan the bread is put into the oven at the extreme end, or where the heat is least and as it bakes it regularly progresses into a keener heat until baked. Again, it is acknowledged the thinner bread is baked the better it is and the longer it will keep; in the usual mode of baking the thinner the bread the smaller quantity the oven will bake per day; on my plan as the oven is constantly in blast, the thinner the bread the more the oven will bake; added to this the labor of splitting wood is saved—the heating, cleaning and setting an oven also. An oven on my plan if well built, is much more durable, takes up less room to do the same business, costs much less money to build it, requires less fuel to bake the same quantity of bread, fewer hands can do the same business, in fact, a mind (superior to prejudices often attendant on customs long established) will be satisfied on a view of my oven in operation. I have narrated facts only for those who have not an opportunity of seeing the oven in operation.
I subjoin the certificates of gentlemen whose respectability will not be questioned. For an oven of twenty feet length and three feet six inches width, or the privilege of using it, my price is five hundred dollars, and in proportion for a larger or smaller one. I will dispose of my privilege for states, counties or towns, on liberal terms, letters addressed to me post paid, Dumfries, Virginia, will be duly attended to.
James Deneale.
Dumfries, July 20.
WE, Richard and Stephen Winchester, residing in the town of Fredericksburg and commonwealth of Virginia, do certify, we have built an Oven under the immediate direction of James Deneale of Dumfries and commonwealth of Virginia aforesaid, on a plan entirely different from the ovens in common use, and we believe invented by the said Deneale. It requires much less fuel than
the common oven and may be used without splitting the wood, of course there is great saving of labor; we have baked every kind of biscuit and can say truly that it bakes well. We consider it as a valuable improvement and well worthy the attention of bakers.
R & S. Winchester.
Fredericksburg, January 23, 1806.
These are to certify to all whom it may concern, that I, Andrew Jamieson, biscuit baker, in the town of Alexandria, and district of Columbia, was in the town of Fredericksburg, in the state of Virginia, some time since the middle of last January, and there did attend great part of one day to see the operation of biscuit baking in the new invented oven in the possession of Messrs. Richard and Stephen Winchester, of Fredericksburg, which oven I have every reason to believe is the sole invention of Mr. James Deneale, of Dumfries, in the state of Virginia, and hereby declare and aver, that I saw said New Invented or Perpetual Oven bake large and small biscuits in as short a time and as regular a manner as any oven I have seen those forty years I have been at the baking business. Given under my hand this sixth day of February (in Alexandria and district of Columbia) in the year one thousand eight hundred and six.
Andrew Jamieson.
N. B. Not having sufficient experiment of said oven above mentioned, I cannot ascertain what may be saved in wood or labor, only that cord wood will do without the labor of chopping and splitting, as is necessary with old fashioned ovens.
A. J.
New-York, December 1, 1806.
THIS is to certify that I have been using the patent oven, invented by James Deneale, esq. of Dumfries, Virginia, since April last, to considerable advantage in this city; I have no doubt of its possessing considerable advantages over the old method, such as a saving of fuel and labor, in consequence of which the proprietor is enabled to make the bread much thinner and consequently more proper for long voyages on a hot climate.
Again, as a part of the operation requiring most skill and practice is abridged by this method; more of the work may be done by boys or men little experienced in the business.
Not being acquainted myself with the old method, I will not attempt to state the differences between them, but that it is greatly in favor of Deneale's method must be evident to the most superficial observer.

Iron Works for Sale.
THE subscriber is duly empowered to contract for the sale of a handsome Site for Iron Works and eight thousand acres of Land adjoining, lying on the river Rappahannock, about nine miles above Fredericksburg. This tract abounds with inexhaustible mines of the richest iron ore and an ample supply of wood for coal. The site for the works are advantageous in the extreme, commanding the whole source of the Rappahannock by a natural canal, into which the whole force of the river may be turned at a small expence. There has been a furnace and other works formerly erected here, and the ore found on trial abundant and good. When it is considered that this property is within nine miles of tide water, and that the navigation from the site of the works to tide water may at a small expence be rendered practicable to transport every heavy article to market: when it is considered from the contiguity of these works to the seat of government, no iron establishment can supply cannon and shot on so good terms (competent judges having pronounced the ore on this tract of superior quality for cannon) a doubt cannot be entertained of the great value of this property. The title is indisputable, and a great bargain may be had. The subscriber will at any time attend those inclined to view the premises, and can shew an accurate survey of the tract on application to him at Dumfries, in Virginia.

To Parents, Guardians, & Teachers. JUST PUBLISHED, BY COTTON AND STEWART, ALEXANDRIA, MAVOR'S UNIVERSAL SPELLING-BOOK, Accompanied by a progressive series of Easy and Familiar Lessons. Intended as an introduction to the first Elements of the English Language. THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE.
NOTWITHSTANDING the vast number of introductory books for children in the Nursery, which have been written within the few years by persons of distinguished abilities and fashioned with their names, it must still be allowed, that there has not appeared one introduction to Reading, for the general use of schools, that rises above the level of the vulgar, though popular, compilations of Dyche, Dilworth and Fenning. The superfluity has been attended to with sedulous care; and writers of the first eminence have contributed to rear the fabric of learning, while the foundation has almost invariably been suffered to be laid, by the most tasteless and ignorant workmen. The consequence has frequently been, as might be expected from such a procedure: the castle has been reared at the very commencement; and it has often proved more difficult to remove error, than it would have cost pains to plant originally the principles of truth.  For the neglect we have alluded to, it would be impossible to produce any consistent reason. Perhaps the pride of acknowledged literature could not stoop to an occupation reputed so mean, as that of compiling a Spelling-Book. Yet to lay the first stone of a noble edifice, has ever been a task delegated to the most honorable hands; and to sow the first seeds of useful learning in the infant mind, is an employment that cannot be disgraceful to the most illustrious talents. Bishop Lowth wrote an excellent English grammar, and several men of rank in literature have benefited the public by similar productions; yet it is in vain that grammars are written, if no one has learned to read: it is in vain that the sublimest discoveries are made in any art or science, if the generality of the world are precluded from profiting by them, for want of previous instruction in the first principles with which they are connected.  The Editor of the following sheets is fully convinced of the solidity of his intentions and the justice of his remarks, in whatever light his present undertaking may be regarded. Humble or degrading as it may appear to those, who, perhaps, have no higher pretensions than himself, he cannot think that labor dishonorable, which is so manifestly beneficial to the rising generation; nor has he any reason to fear, but that the candid and judicious will appreciate his motives and his production as they deserve. Our sentiments and our conduct are more influenced by early impressions than many seem willing to allow. The stream will always flow tintured with the nature of its source. A just maxim, a humane principle, a germ of knowledge early imbibed, will be permanent to the last. The first books we read can never be forgotten, nor the principles they inculcate, eradicated. Hence, in the prosecution of this work, care has been taken to make every lesson or essay, as far as the nature and intention of the plan would allow, tend to some useful purpose of information or instruction. Even in the more easy progressive lessons, where sense was limited to a single syllable, it is hoped something will be found to please and to improve, nor will this be thought difficult. To tread in the steps of a Barbault, a Juffet, an Edgeworth, a Trimmer, a Berquin, and to accommodate their labors to the benevolent design in hand, only acquired a little taste and judgment, which any person long conversant with education and books ought to possess.  In short, the Editor feels inclined to believe, that this manual for early youth will be found much better adapted for the purpose than any that has preceded it; and in consequence he anticipates the kind patronage of Teachers in general. It probably will tend to facilitate their labour, by furnishing subjects more agreeable to the pupil, than the dry inanity of most books of the kind; and it cannot fail to redound to their credit, also, by giving youth an opportunity of gaining as much general knowledge as could be crowded within the limits prescribed.  Indeed it was a remark of the publisher, (to whom British youth are under singular obligations for furnishing them with many valuable opportunities of improvement) when he earnestly pressed this work on the Editor's attention "That a Spelling-Book frequently constitutes the whole library of a poor child, unless when charity puts a Bible into his hands, & it consequently ought to contain as great a variety of useful matter as the price will permit." The compilation has been formed strictly on this principle.  Woodstock, Oct. 20th, 1805.
