BISH'S FAREWELL !!!—TO THE PUBLIC.
IN a,idressill, you, " my best Friends," for the last
time, $4 Cdntractnr, I do feel various sensations not to be de-
scribed:; Inespressible grasitude tar years of uribounded preference
and favours bestowed tia a long series of years—not merely on
myself, hilt on my late Father. We have, it is true, as Dispensers
of the favours of the Blind Goddess, been most eminently successful
in distributing an unprecedented List of Capitals, amounting in the
aggregain to many millions ; and as Lotteries increased in number,
sty fame fur the distribution of its wealth increased also; it is,
therefore, with the sincerest regret I announce that the Legislature
has come to what I consider a very unwise decision—viz. to abolish
Lotteries. And for what reason? only to please a few persons
who have not examined their merits, but have confounded illegal
transactions with the legitimate. I may be considered to take a'
partial view of the case; but where a system has gone on without
intermission ever since the reign of Queen Anne; and brought
annually nearly Half a Million into the Treasury, I cannot but
agree with an eminent writer, who says—" Surely the present Is
rot the best period for experiments and it would, in my humble
opinion, have been more wise to have done away with several ob-
roxious awl paltry Taxes (vexatious in their collection) than to
a:ituhilate the Lottery, which, let it be well borne in mind, is a
voluntary Tax ; and by its continuance, not only might those ob-
noxious Taus be removed, but hundreds of persons kept in ens-
ploymetit who must now be discharged ; and is this a time to add
to the number of those who want support ? It is, however, useless
to repine—the Government have decided that it shall be so—and all
that can be now done is to make the most sof the abort time allowed
before the system is abolished. As one of the last Contractors, I
have arranged, with my colleagues, such a Scheme as must, I think,
give universal satisfaction : it contains the very unprecedented
number of SIX Grand Prizes of £30,4000, Money (no former
Lottery ewer contained more than Pour)—and my fame for the sale
of 5C30,000 Prizes is proverbial-1 sold the first, the last, and more
than half of all that have ever been drawn! No Blanks--all
Sterling Money—and all to be decided in One Day, 18th JULY,
being the very Last Drawing of all.
Tickets and Shares are on Sale at my Offices where Schemes
may be hod, gratis. The Price will rise considerably on Monday,
Vith inst.—l have the honour to be
Your devoted Servant,
