Has it in contemplation, sufficiently
batr onized, to print an elegant sdi'i0" Of
AddreGes to Young Men,

AddreGes to Young Men,
~: By JAMES FoRDrcE,
And for that purpose submits the follow:
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 to promote. r. -.
The above Addresses shall be printed
with an elegant and entirely new type,
on good paper, IN an octave form, and
will contain about 500 pages.
They shall be neatly bound and lettered
for So 2S-or So half bound, paya-
bic on delivery Of the work.
They shall be put to press so soon as a
sufficient number Of subscribers are
obtained, and finished without delay
TO THE PUBLIC.
The present publisher, as member
Of that class of the community, to which
this highly valuable work is addressed,
recommends it particularly to his young
brethren-but every person who feels Tor
the good of his country, and for the wei
fare of society, he doubts not, will c1n-
slider it duty to patronize work OF this
kind. 49, --~-- -----. 49, :.
THE dispositions and manners Of
Young Men may be regarded as Of the
greatest consequence both to the present
and future generations-An, intercourse
with those Of worthy manners and digni-
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 win
be affected, by, the connections which
Young Men shall form, and by the con-
duct which they shall hold, as they adj
vance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor
can It be necessary to prove, that, as the
behaviour of individuals in their early
days gives for the most part a turn to the
rest so from the character Of our Youth
IN general, we may prognosticate favour
ably, or otherwise, concerning our own

: TIE above work, tho more particu-
larly addressed to, and intended tor,-the
improvement of the minds of Young
Men, inculcates 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 tina. could be
offered, would be superauous; but to
those unaequainted with both, II may be
proper to observe, that the work here Of.
fered, has stood the test of time and ex-
perienee, and has been universally ex-
tolled by the virtuous Of every sect and
country where it,has been read.
IT would be valuable present from
a parent to child, and for which they
may expect remuneration in the rational
Improvement made in the minds of their
progeny. ------
y To complete this work, in a style that
rpiH do it justice, will subject the publish
erto very considerable expense but he
doubts not but he shall e-eompensated
for his expense and trouble, as every one
will acknowledge, that the dissemination
of books Of this kind are an, actual rood
to the community at large, and will there
fore feel disposed to patronage it--for
this purpose all who are inclined to do so
are invited to the Office of the Intelligent
Ger, Martinsburg. r. ....s.,g,,Y =
