MONUMENT.—The art of mnemonics presents various
resources to the muse of history for transmitting records
to posterity. The printing press, by typography, or re-
cords of stone, or bronze, were in the classic ages the
favourite objects of Clio to contemplate monumental art,
which are read by the spectator by the organ of vision.

person in charge of any merchant-ship or ship's-husband,
is to pay or advance, nor give any note in writing or
otherwise, in the nature of an advance-note for any part
of the wages of any seaman hired, &c., until six hours
after the ship's articles have been duly signed by the said
seaman, and also by the master or owner of the ship, and
then only to the seaman himself, unless such wages or
advance of wages be paid:in money, in which case the
payment thereof may be made to the seaman himself at
any period most convenient after the signing of the ship's
articles ; and all payments of wages contrary to the act
will be void, and the amount thereof recoverable by the

any such seamen, will forfeit for every such offence a sum
not exceeding £5. Persons are not be admitted on board
merchant-vessels before their arrival in dock or at the
place of discharge, without the consent of their mater or
person in charge of the vessel. A penalty of £2O will be

charge of the vessel is empowered to take him into
custody. If any person on board any merchant-ship,

seaman, except under the personal direction of such

offence the sum of £5. The last clause of any immediate
importance, is, that if any person shall receive of any
seaman payment in respect of his board and lodging in
the house of such person for a longer period than such
seaman shall have actually resided or boarded therein, or
shall receive any monies, or effects of any seaman, and
shall not return the same or pay the value thereof when
