Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-01175.xml THE American people, who pretend more than any other to think for themselves, have nevertheless submitted to the influence of great names; and four men, distinguished by pre-eminence of character or of station, have more particularly led their politics. 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 Chronicle, No. I.

Brown, Charles Brockden 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 European Literary and Philosophical Intelligence. Brown, Charles Brockden 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 Preface. Brown, Charles Brockden 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 Annals of Europe and America.

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. This prohibition shall not extend to any foreign vessel, in ballast or with the goods and merchandize on board when notified of this act. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02095.xml Fri, 01 Jan 1808 12:00:00 GMT American Register of Deaths. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-02543.xml DIED, on the 5th April, Bulah Bolton, wife of Joseph Bolton, junior, of Retreat Works, New Jersey, after a long and severe suf- fering, which she bore with that patience and resignation, conse- quently resulting from a pious mind, and which alone can look with confidence to a gracious Re- deemer for intercession with the Father for past transgressions. 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 Devotion: An Epistle. To Calista.

Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003a.xml I had the good fortune to attend an oration upon gaming last evening delivered by Mr. Ogilvie, at the hall in Fourth-street. My feelings were so powerfully affected by the exhibition that I wit- nessed, that I cannot help giving them way in a few remarks upon the subject. Most sincerely do I condole with those whom accident or ignorance prevented from attending: for, a more eloquent and powerful dissuasive from gaming was surely never before delivered to a public assembly. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003a.xml Mon, 17 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT Communication.

Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003c.xml When the writer of this article attended the first lecture delivered by Mr. Ogilvie, he was struck with the elegance of language and eloquence of manner which distinguished the speaker; while at the same time, the vein of pure morality which pervaded the whole discourse, rendered it no less salutary than pleasing. But, on Friday evening, when the subject of Gaming occupied the attention of the Lecturer, he was peculiarly interesting and impressive; his description of its fascinating power, and his representation of its direful consequences, were taken from the life; and the arguments which he employed against it were such as sophistry could not elude;—they were such as bespoke the man of sensibility, the son of genius and the friend of vir- tue. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003c.xml Tue, 18 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT Communication.

Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003e.xml Many of those who have attended the elegant and instructive Orations of Mr. Ogilvie, have re- gretted, that, owing to the partial illumination of the Hall, the features and countenance of the Ora- tor, were but very imperfectly discernible. Every one knows how essential it is when estimating the abilities of a publick speaker, to witness that ex- pression of soul depicted, in the countenance, without which eloquence has not half its effect. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003e.xml Thu, 20 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT Communication; For the Aurora. Brown, Charles Brockden http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003f.xml This evening Mr. Ogilvie, it seems, pro- poses to entertain the public with a discourse on the progress and prospects of civil society. This is a grand theme, to which I have no doubt, after hearing his previous performan- ces, his extraordinary powers will do ample justice. A subject rendered, to all enlighten- ed minds, so deeply interesting, by the events of the present period, cannot fail of fully ob- taining its due, both in reasoning and in rheto- ric, from the hand of this orator. From those who have heard the same discourse delivered in Virginia and Maryland, I am informed that he takes a clear and strong view of the effects produced on the happiness of mankind, not only by those more ancient agents, the revi- val of literature and the invention of pr... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1808-10003f.xml Sat, 22 Oct 1808 12:00:00 GMT Communication.

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 Review of Literature.
