Its contents are designed to relate to the last half year of 1807.

These have been Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01175.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01179.xml British consul's office, Norfolk, Vir., 6th March, 1807. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01179.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01281.xml BY the census which has been taken of the village of Troy, in the state of New York, in conformity to a late act of the legislature, it ap- pears that there are 3352 inhabi- tants resident in the village, exclu- sive of those in the residue of the town of Troy. A census taken in the latter part of February, 1806, made the number 2955. This gives an increase of 397 in the short period of 17 months! The increase of business, of the number of buildings, improvements, &c., keeps pace with the population. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01281.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01353.xml 1. ONE of the most interesting spectacles to be seen in or near London is the free-school of Mr. Lancaster, about two hundred yards from the obelisk, in St. George's fields. In this school nearly one thousand poor children are rapidly taught reading, writ- ing, and arithmetic, by one mas- ter, on the plan of Mr. Lancaster, for a total expence not exceeding three hundred pounds per annum. The leading principle is, that the senior classes teach the junior, and that emulation through every class is excited by rewards and promotion. The methods of teaching are also much simplified: the children learn to read and write the alphabet at the same time, by forming the letters in sand with their fingers, as each letter is successively called by the monitor; they afterwards learn to read and write monosyllables in the same manner, and the preci- sion and rapidity with which the smallest children perform these operations is very surprizing. By this plan, the children of the poor may be initiated in the first rudi- ments ... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01353.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02000.xml THE public are now presented with the third volume of the American Re- gister. We are not without hopes that its value may be deemed superior to that of either of the preceding volumes. The public papers, both foreign and domestic, relate to the most critical and interesting transactions which have occurred for many years, and such a selection and arrangement have been made as was best calculated to display them. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02000.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02003.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02003.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02095.xml AN embargo is laid on all vessels within the jurisdiction of the United States, cleared or not cleared, bound to any foreign place. No clearance shall be furnished to any such vessel; except under the immediate direction of the president, and the president is authorized to instruct the officers of the revenue, and of the navy and revenue cutters, so as shall appear best adapted for effecting the same.

It may be truly said, that this con- fidence decreased not as life con- tinued to verge on that of futurity, but on it rested a hope and pros- pect of future happiness, enabling her to welcome the messenger of death, cheerfully resigned to be numbered in the silent grave. As a wife and mother she was kind and affectionate; and as a sister the ties of harmony and love ap- peared to predominate more than is generally witnessed in that re- lation. Her cheerful and engaging manners cannot soon be eradicat- ed from the memory of those ac- quainted with her, but will remain as a lasting monument of her vir- tues. May these considerations tend to reconcile the afflict... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02543.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02567.xml Philadelphia, September, 1794. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02567.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-L-176.xml Permit me to thank you for the kind letter I have lately recieved from you. The intelligence it conveyed was, indeed, equally unexpected & afflicting. The deep regret I felt at not being able to visit & console my beloved sisters, in their calamity, was alleviated by reflecting on the friendship & kindness they might justly expect to recieve from you & some other disinterested friends. Any service you may render them, will find its own reward in the testimony of your own heart Their gratitude & mine, however, will, in no small measure, be due to you. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-L-176.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1809-03099.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1809-03099.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1809-03319.xml on the fourth of july, at his, residence, at dedham, near boston, died FISHER AMES. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1809-03319.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1809-03337.xml http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1809-03337.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT
