ing proposals to the consideration OF all
who feel for the welfare of the present
and rising generation, whose happiness
these Addresses are so admirably calcu-
lated 70 promote. ~.

TO THE PUBLIC.

Of that class of the community, to which
this highly valuable work is addressed,
recommends it particularly to his young
brethren-butevery person who feels for
the good of his country, and for the wei.
fare of society, he doubts not, will con-
alder it duty to patronize work of this
kind.
THE dispositions and manners Of
Young Men may be regarded as of the
greatest consequence both to the present
and future generations-An intercourse

fed department, is evidently, much
more eficacious in moulding the minds
and directing the actions of others, than
the highest authority, or the wisest ex-
ample, ofage. How deeply society will
be affected, by the connections which
Young Men shall form, and by the con-
duct which they shall hold, as they adj
vance, itisnot difficultto immagine; nor
can It be necessary to prove, that, as the
behaviour of individuals in their early
\ days gives for the most part turn to the
rest, so from the character Of our Youth
ingeneral, we may prognosticate favour
ably or otherwise, concerning our own
times, and those that shall more imme-
diately succeed them.
THE above work, tho more particu.
lalry addressed to, aud intended for, the
Improvement of the minds Of Young
Men, ineulcates principles that would
add dignity to age,-and be ornamental
to the nature Of either sex. To persons
acquainted with the author and his writ
. ings, any recommendation that could be
offered, would be superauous but to
those unsequainted with both, it may be
proper to observe, that the work here Of
Tered, has stood the test Of time and exr
,perience, and has been universally ex-
tolled by the virtuous Of every sect and
country where is has been read.
IT would be a valuable present from
parent to child, and for which they
may expect remuneration in the rational
improvement made in the minds Of their
progeny.
To complete this work, in style that
will do IL justice, will subject the publish
sr to very considerable expense but he
doubts not but he shall be compensated
for his expense and trouble, as every one
win acknowledge, that the dissemination
ofbooks of this kind are an actual good
to the community at large, and will there
fore feel disposed to patronize it--for
this purpose all who feel inclined to do so
areinvitedto the Office of the Intelligen.
