TO THE EXACT SCIENCES;
"A .rET IND PRACTICAL THEORY

by which Mathematical Problems or Algebraic
Equations of almost every description can be
solved with accuracy, and with greater facility
or simplicity than they can he by any OF the
methods that have yet been given by the seve-
raj authors who have written on those subjects,
IN WHICH Will ALSO BE IyTRoDucsD,
A variety Of Useful and Inter esiing Problems,
THAT HAVE NEVER rEr BEEs PROPOSED,
And which it is believed cannot be solved by a.
ny methods or suIes except those which viii be
here laid down.
BY FRANCIS TiLLRrT.. - :.
I'M submitting the above work to the
81, public, the author presumes it will be
admitted, at least by the more enlight-
ened part of the community, that the
exact sciences are the best exercises
possible for youthful minds; the most eff
fectual for strengthening their reasoning
powers, and for giving them accuracy
in the processes Of deduction; and that
any work which has atendency or is cal
culated to promote or facilitate their ac-
quirement, will not be considered as I'M
deserving patronage. But he is also
sensible, that after the many elaborate
productions of learned men, it may and
will be the opinion Of some, that no
further Improvement is necessary or can
be made. He will not here attempt to
combat such opinions, further than. by
observing, that all mathematical rules
OF theories, to be useful must be correct
and general, and to be correct and ge-
neral must and win be self-eyident {, J,
Under an impression that il a true or
correct. answer was obtained to propisi
tons of this nature, the most simple pro-
cess was the best, he has endeavored 70
divest them Of all mysterious or unre-
cessary investigation; or, if he may be
allowed the expression, Of all affected
erudition; and to give such Jules as may
render them familiar to any capacity
well acquainte with Common arithmetic.
How far he may have succeeded in this,
the work itself will be the best criterion
to judge by. :. Il. T. !.
.1It is expected the work will make
about 60 pages octave, which will be
done up in neat pamphlet form, and
be put to subscribers at so cents.

tends, on King street, from the public
square to the corner of Mr., Jacob Poi
SAILS house, and 1T the same width, quite
across to Burke street. There are on it,
of course, several valuable building-lots.
The clearinghouse is among the best
in Martinsburg; and the new framed
house, on the same. front, is divided i'm
to two offices, which commands good
rent, in consequence of their proximity
to the Court House. The two offices,
thrown into one, would make an excel
lent store, and the stand would be as
good, perhaps, as any in Martinsburg.
In, short, there is not in this village a
more desirable property.
As it is much to be feared that, in
consequence of the scarcity. of money,
this property viii sell very low, this no.
tee may. .perhqps deserve the attention
of persons at a distance. To such the
undersigned hold out the assurance that
the sale will peremptoriiy take place on
the day appointed.
