THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
TO SHOW THE VERY AGE AND BODY OF THE TIME, HIS FORM AND PRESSURE.
MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 12, 1806.
General Armstrong. —The letter and conduct of this minister have attracted the publick attention in no common degree; several of our readers have expressed a doubt upon the truth of both—but when we assure them that the correspondence is published in Philadelphia where Messrs. Nicklin & Griffith reside, certainly there can be no doubt upon the subject.
Without noticing the abandonment of the rights of the citizens, whose interests he was bound to protect, a doctrine the most singular has been adopted by this minister, from whose diplomatick talents, if this production is to govern our judgment, we have not much to hope for. It certainly could never have entered the head of any one of common understanding, to suppose that there was any distinction between a citizen who is an underwriter, and one who is a merchant—the loss of either is a loss to the country. It is the neutral character of an American vessel which induces the underwriter to insure the vessel as such. To sum up the principles advanced by Mr. Armstrong, they amount to this—the belligerents have a right to capture any American vessel that is insured, and that no compensation ought to be made. It does not require much penetration to discover the advantage to which the belligerents may apply this doctrine.
The present administration has often, as we are well informed, expressed some complaint that the mercantile class of citizens as a body have less confidence in them than any other. Without investigating the truth of the fact, or without examining how far the administration has merited the confidence of the marine and mercantile community, it certainly cannot be supposed that the continuation of an agent who avowedly is hostile to their interests, will tend to beget or augment their confidence or augment their confidence.
RICHARD E. LEE, Esquire , was this day elected President of the Office of Discount and Deposit of the Bank of Virginia at this place.

As the official documents to which we have referred were exhibited with a view to ascertain the amount of the goods imported, and not the amount of duties, it is presumed that the 10 per cent. additional on the amount of cost, was not included in the original. If so we are to add one tenth to the amount of goods from the dominions of Great Britain in Europe, and the East Indies, which will be upwards of 1,700,000 pounds sterling, and on which the duties, taking a fair average, may be put down at 12 1-2 per cent. and is about 900,000 dollars. If to 900,000 we add the duties on enumerated articles from the British dominions in Europe and the East Indies, and then those of sugar and coffee from her colonies, the amount of duties may for the three years, be safely put down at 1,500,000 dollars, making for the three years upwards of nineteen millions of dollars of revenue for the three years.

Extract of a letter from a merchant of the first respectability in London, dated Oct. 17.
"Pursuant to the order contained in your letter, I yesterday effected insurance on 3000l. on the cargo of the _____, of and from New York for Rotterdam, at 6 per cent. Knowing from your letter that you purchased the whole of it at New York, I did not think it expedient to insure against the risk of British capture and condemnation; for should she be detained she would be released, as all in such circumstances have been hitherto. If you think there is any danger you will insure against it at home; but if the cargo was bona fide purchased by you, on your account, I would not give a cent to insure it against British condemnation."
NINTH CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TAKEN FOR THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
THURSDAY, January 2.
Mr. Speaker informed the house that he had received the report of the secretary of state on the petition of Peter Landois late commander of the Alliance Frigate in the service of the United States, and one of the squadron under Paul Jones.
It appeared from the report, that this squadron had taken in the North seas, four British prizes, which were sent to Norway consigned to the French consul there. That, upon the remonstrance of the British consul at Copenhagen, these vessels were delivered to the owners by the king of Denmark, under the plea that the United States were not recognized as a nation.
The report being favourable to the petitioner, it was upon the motion of Mr. J. C. Smith, referred to a committee of the whole house for Monday next.
General Varnum called for this bill, presented by him several days since. The house went into a committee of the whole thereon.
Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair.
A long debate ensued, on amendments and alterations to the bill.
Mr. G. W.

he should have the leave required. Or had the Senate been composed of the same members as those of the last year, I should have contented myself with giving a silent vote on the question. An addition being made to the Senate of several new members, it may not be improper to state, that this subject was at the last session presented to the view of Congress by the President. A bill was predicated thereon, and after great consideration and lengthy discussion passed into a law. Has the mover produced to the Senate any document to show that France is not satisfied with what has been done? Does the gentleman know that any new complaint has been made? I know of none, and I therefore think it fair to presume that France has been fully satisfied with the law already passed. The gentleman has said that both the French and British ministers have considered the trade to St. Domingo as contrary to the law of nations. I see nothing of the kind in the note from the British minister. I have no doubt of the British being disposed to interdict that branch of trade as they have done almost all other most lucrative commerce. Had the gentleman brought forward a bill to interdict all trade with G. Britain, he might have produced many more reasons in its support than he has been pleased to offer in support of the bill proposed—but what is this law of nations? Is it the written law, or that law assumed by the nations who have the most power? If the gentlemen mean the written law, I must believe they are mistaken. I have somewhere read, that when a part of a state separates itself, and is capable of supporting that separation, forms for itself a government, and fully conducts its own affairs—that other nations do not infringe this law by trading or commencing a friendly intercourse with such part.
We are told that a celebrated French general, since here has said, that had gen. Le Clerc succeeded, he meant to have landed all the blacks of St. Domingo on our southern shores. This may be—but, sir, it is not probable. If such however had been his intention, they could not have arisen from resentment on account of our commerce, for we had been of the greatest utility to him and his army, and had then carried on no commerce that was not fully sanctioned by France—nay, I might say, that owing to the supplies from the U. S. the colony of St. Domingo had been preserved to the mother country until the arrival of gen. Le Clerc. Unless, Mr. President, the honorable mover shall produce some new information, I shall be under the necessity of voting against leave to bring in this bill.
Dr. Mitchell, in a speech of considerable length and detail stated his objections to giving leave.
He complimented his friend from Pennsylvania for the purity of his motives in bringing forward the present motion. But he could not restrain from an expression of his surprise, and even his regret, that the subject had been moved again in the Senate.
During the last session of Congress, the whole of the intercourse with St. Domingo had undergone a full investigation. While the bill regulating the clearance of armed merchant vessels was under discussion, that part of our commerce had been minutely examined. It would be remembered that the bill had been committed, recommitted, amended and modified with the utmost labour and skill. Besides the talents which the Senate afforded, all the sources of executive information had been drained, to aid their researches, and the letters of the British and French ministers, complaining of the conduct of the merchants in forcing this trade, were open to our view. The crude material of the bill had been hammered at and worked upon so elaborately, as to have at last received the complete burnish of a law. With all the knowledge that could be derived from so many quarters, the bill was at length passed to check the violence of our navigators, and to restrain the adventurous zeal of our merchants. The provisions of this law, were such as it was deemed just and proper that a neutral nation should take. And this was a liberal condescension to the wishes of the two great maritime and belligerent powers without forgetting the respect we owed to our own. With both these he wished to cultivate peace and good understanding; but to neither of them would he consent to yield any portion of our neutral and national rights.
The difficulties exhibited in the ministerial correspondence, Dr. M. said were thus removed. With a promptitude that deserves to be admired, congress interposed its authority, for the purpose at once of doing justice to our neighbours, regulating our commerce, and tranquillising the Mexican seas. With these salutary provisions, he believed the two complaining nations, had been satisfied. At least we had done so much that they ought in all reason to be content. Congress had already manifested a due regard to all that France and Great-Britain had offered upon the branch of West-Indian commerce, and in the true spirit of good neighbourhood, and correct principle, had modified and corrected the intercourse with Hayti. And so fully did the Europeans seem to acquiesce in our conduct, that he had not heard any further remonstrances made by either of them about it. He thought the observations of the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Adams) very much in point. Under a conviction that we had done as much as publick faith and national honour required, he had given his vote against the introduction of a similar bill during the last session. Nothing had occurred from that time to this day, to alter the circumstances of the case, or to make it necessary for him to change his conduct. He thought now, as he did then, that there was danger of overacting our part and of doing too much; of being good to our neighbours, to such a degree, and in such a manner as to be very cruel to ourselves.
After all this condescension on our part, after inquiring into the alleged misconduct of our people and taking immediate measures to prevent the repetition, and after having done all that we politically could or that we honourably ought, the subject is once more introduced to the Senate. It comes now, not from the executive department, not from the cabinets of the nations concerned, nor from the recommendation of a Senatorial committee, but from the suggestions of an individual member of our own body.
The commerce of the United States, he said, was an astonishing spectacle. It reached from Artic to Antarctic; and was co-extensive with the circumference of the globe. Most of the inhabited countries of the earth were visited by our navigators, and the striped flag of the union fluttered in the remotest harbours. Our countrymen have made material additions to the science of geography. They have found markets unknown to commercial men before. They have derived cargoes from the depth of the ocean, and laid the cod, the seal, and the whale under contribution. They have exported the productions of their own happy country, so fertile in the articles which sustain and cherish life, to all places where they were wanted, and brought home the crude materials or the manufactures of those regions in return. By an energy and enterprize unexampled in the history of the human species, they have excited the jealousy of foreigners, who are not only behind them in mercantile exertion, but who cannot weigh an anchor or reef a top-sail equal to them.
Such was our situation, peaceful, industrious, and desirous of measuring out liberal justice to all our neighbours. But this was no protection against commercial rivalry. Emulation and competition existed in all callings and professions. Mercantile jealousy had been alarmed by it. Experience had shown to the most active of them that they were unsuccessful competitors. What was the consequence? They had endeavoured to interrupt by force or stratagem,
that predominant trade which they could not outdo, or equal by fair means. In the havens of Britain the port-charges were of the most exorbitant kind. The money paid by us for passing their light-houses was excessive. The fees for performance of quarantine, were out of all proportion to the good expected or service done. Convoy-duties were also frequently exacted. And the custom-houses collected a higher rate of charge upon merchandise exported to the United States than to any part of Europe. In addition to all this, the cruisers of that nation had made the most ungenerous abuse of the power of searching our vessels. They had taken out and impressed into their service, emigrants coming to our country. They had violently drawn into their service, our seamen, natives of our land. Naturalized foreigners had not been spared. Our neutrality had been violated by their forcing our impressed citizens to fight against the political friends of their country. Our ships had been frequently detained and spoiled on the high seas, and their officers and crews grossly insulted. Vessels bearing the variegated stripes and constellated stars of our union had been sent to distant British ports for adjudication. Cargoes had been condemned under the most arbitrary pretexts, and our merchants and underwriters by the process of an ex parte trial, stripped of their property. Our ports had been blockaded. The public authority in our very harbours had been defied, and the armed vessels of the nation had been fired at. And to crown the whole, the same nation, instigated by the like jealous and invidious considerations, seem bent upon prohibiting our carrying trade in colonial produce, and resolved to reduce us once more to the dependence of provinces.
Are we, sir, already come to this? You (the Vice President, Mr. Clinton, was in the chair) well remember the effects wrought by the injudicious proceedings of the British parliament in the year 1774.—You bore a noble and manly part in the struggles of freemen against oppression at that day. Thirty years ago, you and your patriottick associates could form a general non-importation agreement, and despising the luxuries of the mother country, and superior to her prowess, you, spirits of freedom achieved our glorious revolution. If the case requires it, may we not do this again? If we must curtail our commerce by our own statutes, it is certainly a better policy to retaliate upon an adversary in that way, than to abandon to her, as the proposed bill contemplates, a lucrative portion of our trade. Surely, labouring as we do, under all these embarrassments, a proposition for lessening our navigation and forbidding our ships to frequent the open ocean, would hardly have been expected from one of our own body.
For my own part, said Dr. M. I think the St. Domingo commerce is no great thing in itself. We might do exceedingly well without it; and I am very far from approving the means by which it has been carried on; but I dislike the idea of forbidding it at the mandate of a foreign power. Like our revolutionary patriots, let us put our foot here, and hence refuse to budge. It is not for us to legislate at the nod or bidding of any nation. I hope we understand our business better than to register edicts for them—while we pay due respect to others, it becomes us also to respect ourselves. The precedent is a dangerous one. If we agree to interdict this intercourse, we may at the next session be informed that we ought to withdraw from some other important port or region.—When we are found to be so complying to one nation, we shall be subjected to the like request or menace from another, until, sir, our flag shall be furled in one foreign port after another, and nothing be left us but the coasting trade at home. The sad consequences have been ably portrayed by the gentleman from Maryland. (Mr. S. Smith.)
There was another reason evincing the unseasonableness of the proposition at the present time. This was a disastrous and eventful era of our commerce. The merchants in every sea port of the nation were assembling to consider their losses from the rapacity of the belligerent powers, and submit them to the consideration of congress. It would be better to wait for the statements that such a practical class of men should make. Our judgements would be aided by the facts which their memorials would contain.
Dr. M. then considered the prohibition in the constitution on congress as to the laying of export duties; and said that the exportation of our domestick productions so necessary to our country, and so cautiously guarded, ought not to be interrupted by any spontaneous regulations of our own. He was an advocate for mare liberum . He wished a wide and open market for the beef, pork, fish, flour, rice and cotton of the country.
He then adverted to the operation which a restrained commerce would have upon agriculture. With the ceasing of exports, this great spring to the planters and graziers' industry, is at once taken away; the plough would stop; and it would be melancholy to see the fair and enchanting face of our country degenerate to the savage state, and yield nought but the unthrift crop of weeds and brambles.
Turning then to ship-building and its cluster of attendant trades and arts, he feared that it would fall into neglect. That employment, which gives perhaps, the grandest idea of the skill of man, would be discontinued, and the inhabitants of our sea-ports be forced back to the country to keep them from starving.
Nor was the revenue to be omitted in this enumeration. As far as the imports from Hayti are consumed by our cruisers, so far the revenue is aided; and, if exported under drawback, the carrying trade is helped by the transportation, and the return cargo, whether of brandy, wines, hardware or dry goods, may be expected to afford an ad valorem or specific contribution to the treasury.
A word or two concerning the situation of France in this affair, he should beg leave to offer. The coffee and sugar of that productive island had reached the ports of that empire in American bottoms. And in return the productions and manufactures of France had been carried by the same conveyance to the revolted colony, or black free-men. It was presumable such an intercourse would give to France several of the benefits of a direct commerce. And as our act of the last session had yielded to her the sovereignty, he did not think that in the existing intermediate state between rebellion and revolution among the Haytians France had any just cause of displeasure against us. If she had, the numberless captures and depredations done under her flag, must have given her the most ample satisfaction. Under these impressions he judged it neither politick nor necessary to legislate further on the subject; and should consequently say No to the motion.

GERMAN STATE PAPERS.
Translation of a Proclamation of the Elector of Bavaria to the Bavarians.
BAVARIANS! At a moment when I was solely occupied with your prosperity, when I foresaw no danger, I was forcibly separated from you! Austria, for the preservation of which the generous blood of the Bavarians has so often flowed, had conceived perfidious plans against you and against me. Your sons, my brave soldiers, were demanded with menaces, to be disseminated in the Austrian army
and to fight against a Power which has at all times protected the independence of Bavaria.
Thus the Bavarians were no longer to fight for their country, but for foreign interests: thus the very name of the Bavarian army, was to have been destroyed.
My duty, as a Prince and as the father of a faithful and independent people, must have led me to repel propositions so dishonourable for the nation and to maintain, with firmness the neutrality of my states.
I still flatter myself with the hope of seeing accomplished the most ardent of my wishes, the repose of my country. The negotiations, upon this head, were not broken off, when Austria, faithful to the system of annihilating the independence of Bavaria, violated the most sacred treaties, made her army cross the Inn, and treated you as the inhabitants of a conquered country. The most ungenerous requisitions were made; you were deprived of the most necessary instruments of your industry, even of those of your agriculture; your fields were laid waste, your cattle carried off by force; you were inundated with a depreciated paper currency; even a great number of your sons were constrained to serve under the standards of Austria.
After so perfidious an invasion after such unheard of outrages, my dignity commanded me, as Prince and protector of the nation to take up arms, and to deliver the country from its oppressors.
THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH, the natural ally of Bavaria, flies to our succour, with his intrepid warriors, he comes to avenge us; already your brothers and your sons fight in the ranks of these brave fellows, accustomed to victory, and already we see the dawn of our safety.
Bavarians, who patiently bear the evils with which the enemies of your country overwhelm you; remember your Prince, who knows your sufferings, who shares them, and who cannot support the idea of being separated from you, but in the persuasion that in preserving his individual liberty, he has secured to himself the means of acting with an absolute independence for his dear and faithful subjects.
Our good cause is under the protection of a just God, and of a courageous army commanded by an individual hero.
Let the rallying word of every Bavarian be for his Prince and for his country.
Wurtzburgh, 20th October 1805. (Signed,) MAX. JOSEPH Elector.
STUTGARD, 26th October. Our Court has just published an exposition of its conduct in the present conjuncture. This exposition in substance what follows:
In the last war, the Elector of Württemberg, fulfilled his duties as a state of the empire with the most scrupulous exactness; he has even fulfilled to the last moment the obligations he had contracted towards the House of Austria. He had then ground to expect that the Court of Vienna would powerfully interfere in his favour at the negotiations concerning the indemnities; but his hope was completely frustrated. During the short continuance of the peace the proceedings of the Austrian authorities towards the court of Württemberg proved that the sacrifices this court had made for the House of Austria were no longer thought of and an indemnity was refused for the provisions furnished during the war to the Austrian troops, for which a payment had been formally promised in specie, the artillery taken during the war were refused to be restored; the house of Württemberg was openly attacked at the last Swabian Diet; the Austrian envoy held on that occasion a language both indecent and violating on the rights of the Directory of the Circle; in short the Aulick council of the empire decided completely against the court of Württemberg in the differences relative to the immediate Nobility of the Empire.
Nevertheless the friendly conduct of the Elector towards the court of Vienna underwent no change; and in the differences concerning the possession of Heiligkreuzthal, as well as with regard to the pretended right of sequestration & of escheat, he displayed great condescension towards Austria. The elector then had no reason to believe that this country would be the theatre of war and of a war which in no manner regarded him. His first care was to obtain the guarantee necessary for the neutrality of his States. He addressed himself on this head to the court of Berlin and opened confidential communications with the electoral courts of Bavaria Baden, Hesse and with the court of Hesse Darmstadt, in order to preserve to the Southern circles of the empire the enjoyment of neutrality. But the reply of the court of Berlin contained a refusal and the diversity of the position of the other courts above-mentioned hindered the proposed measures: In the mean while, the Austrian envoy communicated the Note which his court had presented to the imperial courts of Paris and Petersburg: this overture was followed up by no other communication. The envoy. (Mr. Schrandt) kept a profound silence; he then suddenly put to the minister for Foreign affairs the question: "whether France, had demanded that the court of Württemberg should place its troops, artillery and ammunition at her disposal." The indecency of such a demand was presented to the said minister; he was informed nevertheless that no such proposal had been made on the part of France. Such was the state of things when Mr. Bacher delivered to the Diet the well known Declaration concerning the hostile preparations of Austria. The electoral minister hastened to demand some overtures on this head of Mr. Schrandt, and the same demand was made to the imperial commissary at the Diet, but no other reply was received than "that the Austrian ministers had no instructions on this head." In fine the Austrian army, in contempt of the rights of persons, and of the constitution of the empire, inundated the Bavarian states, and spread themselves over Upper Swabia and a part of the possession of Württemberg.
The entrance of these troops was accompanied with notes which could only be looked on as hostilities. The elector's subjects were forced to lodge and subsist the Austrians; they were put in requisition for the labours and entrenchments at the fortifications; they were forced to furnish excessive contributions in bread, hay, oats and meat; their oxen, shoes and cloaks were taken; threats were held out that the country should be laid under military law, that the publick functionaries should be conveyed into Austria as prisoners of war; and the civil commissary of the Austrian army laid on requisitions, which if not complied with, he said, the whole country should be given up to pillage. His highness's subjects were thus exposed to outrages and misery. The wants of the army and even of the individuals composing it, were acquitted in paper-money; endeavours were even made to exchange this paper for the money in the electoral chests. Every representation made to the Austrian envoy was useless. When in short the French army, provoked by the hostile conduct of the court of Vienna, crossed the Rhine and entered the states of Württemberg, an Austrian commissary presented himself at Stuttgart, and declared that his monarch was sorry to perceive that the Elector had been placed in a disagreeable position, and that he was unable to protect him, but that success might change the face of things, and that H. H. was at liberty to take such measures as were consistent with the welfare of his country. Even the commissary to whom this mission was entrusted was very ill-chosen. It was the same (Mr. Steinherr,) who in the preceding disputes had always given proofs of a rooted dislike to the government of Württemberg, and had drawn on himself the discontent of the Elector.
tor. Such a declaration at the moment when the town of Württemberg was occupied by the French troops, must necessarily appear very much misplaced, there was then no other means left, even for the safety of Mr. Steinherr, than to send him off as quick as possible.
Such was the state of things when H. M. the Emperor of the French, arrived with his head-quarters at Louisburgh.

CHEMISTRY MADE PLAIN, PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW WORK, ENTITLED, Plain Discourses on the Chemical Laws of Matter, Containing a General View of the Principles and Improvements of the Science of Chemistry. With a particular Detail of those Parts, which are common and connected with Domestic Affairs; ADDRESSED TO THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA. BY THOMAS EWELL, M.D. &c. OF VIRGINIA.
TO THE PROMOTERS OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE, I HAVE ventured to present for your patronage, a new work—It is a system of chemistry divested of such technical terms as retard the study, by those persons not desirous of entering into the useless refinements of the science; and it will convey particular descriptions of those processes that are for domestic purposes. The object of the work is to render the study of chemistry less difficult, more general and agreeable, as well as to lead to Improvements in various Arts. Long has the greater part of mankind laboured under difficulties which might have been avoided by an acquaintance with the discoveries of philosophers. During the study of most sciences, we notice improvements unknown to the majority of the people; and in no one have these become more conspicuous than in the science of chemistry. Since the wild conjectures of deluded men were banished from its annals, the study has become one of the most useful and interesting to all of common understanding. The science is now characterised by a simplicity, hostile only to the pride of the pedantic scholar. Its extensive scenes are open, and with powerful attraction invite the entrance of the intelligent in the pursuit of pleasure, of information, or of most of the arts. An entrance is desired, that the wonderful beauty and wisdom displayed in the operations of nature may be contemplated with rapture, in parts neglected by the vulgar as a "dreary void." To those in the pursuit of pleasure, the study of chemistry affords the greatest delight. The conversion of solids into volumes of vivifying airs, and of airs and other fluids into solids, are processes which although inferior to many in chemistry, give unusual satisfaction. To know the composition of the substances surrounding us, with their connection and relation to each other, and to understand many of the arts of chemists, will impart to the mind an agreeable action, while it increases its capacity to make improvements. And such are the fascinating powers attached to the pursuit of this knowledge, that France is fast becoming a nation of chemists, in consequence of the general study of the science by the ladies as well as gentlemen. The respectable Cultivators of land will be much benefitted by an acquaintance with chemistry. It will teach them the properties of the soil they cultivate, the art of making manures, and the kinds of vegetables as well as Manures best adapted for their respective farms. An idea of this may be formed from the famous fact, that by a judicious management of the grave yards at Paris, such quantities of salt-peter were procured for the powder-manufactories as to enable the French government to prosecute their war!
To be able to detect the presence, and discriminate between the noxious and innocent metals, as well as to make most useful combinations of them; to ascertain the constituents of medicinal springs; to detect the adulterations of Wines and other drinks; and to correct corrupted airs, must be of consequence to most individuals. The burning of bodies—The Arts of making Gunpowder and Salt-petre—common Salt—and all other Salts—Of Tanning Leather—Of purifying and preserving animal and vegetable Matter—Of Dyeing and Painting—Of making Glass and Earthen Ware—Of Brewing—Distilling, &c. &c. depend on Chemistry. No doubt most of them would be improved by a further cultivation of the science, which, from its simplicity, could be done in but a small part of the time often mispent by the artists. This will appear less doubtful, by the following extracts from a letter I received from the President, Mr. Jefferson—and from one received from Judge Washington of Mount-Vernon. "MONTICELLO, August 1805." "Of the importance of turning a knowledge of chemistry to household purposes, I have been long satisfied. The common herd of philosophers seem to write only for one another. The chemists have filled volumes on the composition of a thousand substances of no sort of importance to the purposes of life; while the arts of making bread, butter, cheese, vinegar, soap, beer, cyder, &c. remain totally unexplained. Chaptal has lately given the chemistry of wine making; the late Dr. Pennington did the same as to bread, and promised to pursue the line of rendering his knowledge useful to common life; but death deprived us of his labours. Good treatises on these subjects should receive general approbation." "Accept of my salutations, "and assurances of respect." "TH: JEFFERSON."
"MOUNT VERNON, 13th September: 1805." "I have long thought that a work upon the plan you suggest, was much wanted by those who form the great bulk of readers on chemical subjects. I have not met with a single treatise which has not appeared unnecessarily obscured by technical terms, which only scholars can understand. They have been more generally addressed to the comprehension of professional men, than to those of the humbler walks of life; for whose use this science might be made most essentially to contribute, by adapting it to their capacities, and by pointing out the way by which its principles may be applied to the more common arts, in which they are daily employed. You will I think, do great good to society and . . . by executing such a work as you propose. My best wishes will accompany you in your labours, and I shall be happy to aid them as far as I can."
"BUSH. WASHINGTON."
But, fellow citizens, for you to know the Beauty, the Convenience, the Importance of the Science which I wish to communicate to you, it is necessary that you know the Science itself. To relate in the most intelligible terms the discoveries of chemical philosophers will not be the extent of my labours. I shall offer a new view of the art of ascertaining the fertility of lands, and of the formation of vegetable juices, which has been approved of by some distinguished characters. I shall also relate some original experiments, a part of which establish a hitherto disputed doctrine concerning heat, and throw light on the art of enriching impoverished land. You will now determine by your subscription, whether the desire of one to disseminate knowledge highly useful and interesting to most of mankind shall be gratified—whether the proposed publication shall appear. T. EWELL.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. As soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, the work shall be put to the press. It will be comprised in about 300 pages, Octavo, and be printed on good paper with suitable type. A general Index will be annexed to the work—with proper drawings of the apparatus commonly used by chemists. The work shall be delivered in boards to Subscribers at Three Dollars, per copy. ** Subscriptions for the above work, received by the Editor of this Paper.
