mon effort of genius both IN composition and delivery
The Dissertation by A. s. T-omby Of Boston was well
received and the Poem by j. b. Harris Of WiDchendon
Mas very appropriate, neat, and well finished
production. The Dissertation by Samuel Chestef 6ae OF
hnlbury Mass, the most argumentative ana logical
