BIOGRAPHY.
OF COUNT RUMFORD.

T7HIS man, whole name is Thomp-
fon, is native of Mafachufetts.
During one period of the late war, he
was employed under the fecretary of
ftate for the American department, af-
ter distinguishing himfelf as a folder. In
1884, he received from the king of
England the honor of knighthood.
In the fame year he engaged himfelf
| in the fervice Of the reigning duke Of
Bavaria, and was employed in various
public iervices, particularly in arrang-
ing his militarpNafairS, and introducing
a new fyfem of order, difcipline, and
economy among his troops. But thefe
were not the mott important fervices
rendered to the ele6or by Count Rum
ford he formed efablifhments for the
relief of the poor at Munich furnilhed
them with employment; put complete
flop TO mendicity, then exceedingly
prevalent and by efabliihing good
regulations brought the whole vagrant
tribe to prefer indufry to idlenefS, and
cleanliness and deccncy to filth and rags.
He fuggelted many plans for providing
the poor with food, wholefome, agreea-
bic and nourilhing, at fmall expcnce !;
and BY various experiments, was ena-
bled to fave in the article of fuel great
part of the expence which before had
been incurred in the article Of drehing
the provifon for the table. In purfu-
ing theie enquiries he made many va
luable discoveries in the contribution
OF chimneys; and was enabled to point
out the means, which have fncc been
fuccefsfully employed, Of increafng
the heat, and at the fame time decreaf-
ing the quantity of fuel. He was the
means Of introducing into Germany
the ule of that wholefome vegetable
the potatoe; of familiarizing the ufe of
tito the people in general and Of con-
quering the national prejudice againlt
it. He introduced manufactures, until
then unknown, into Munich and be-
tore be left that place to come to En-
gland, had the Pleafure to allilt in pack
ing up, and tending off over the Alps,
by the Tyrol, fix hundred articles of
clothing of different kinds for the poor
OF Verona. At that junaure he had
hope toon to fee the poor of Bavaria
grow rich by manufacturing clothing
for the poor of Italy. How far this
expectation has been defeated by the
calamitieS Of war, which has fnce ra-
ged in the place where his improve
ments were introduced we are afraid to
enquire. Services fuch as thefe, tho
originally intended for particular places,
are not to be confined to them but
are calculated for every Gtuation not
forbidden by climate or inveteratc pre-
iudice.

perimental, political, economical, &

though had long fnoe formed an opin-
ion different from that of my fellow
citizens Of Roxbury, under a due i'm
nretIion of the magnitude of the fubie6s
yet the vote Of that respectable town
had claim upon my attention, which
induced me to review the courfe of my
own reflections upon the fubiea, and to
weigh the principal argument fuggeGed
in their memorial. 1t is fill nv milf
fortune to difIent from this intelligent
PORTION Of my continents. Ny princi-
Pl consolation is derived from your re-
nRrk, thar the meetingwas afe1nbIed at
a very fhort notice. The unanimity Of
the deciion may therefore be podibIY
implied to a lncere and laudable ankle
| ty tol peace, rather than to deliberate
examination of the arguments relating
70 the hbje6. Without this prefump-
ton, | ihould fill heftate to declare,
that ATTIC much inquiry and reaexion,
more Pehaps than every individual at
that meeting found time to beltow upon
the queitiol, | do believe it highly ex-
pedient and efential to the commercial
intereit Of tbs country, that our mer-
chants fhouldbe permitted to arm. sheir

fhould not be rfrained from 70 doing

Of certain reafons, which iufify this
