importance of the town; and in b Ah of thefe I am deeply 

 interetted: but the greatelr. inteiefl. I have is in the facility 

 it will give to the education of my children. . In a com- 

 mercial country and a feaport town, the acquifition of know- 

 ledge, that evidently leads to the improvement of trade, be- 

 comes an object of the firlt moment in the education of 

 youth, and the mode now propoled offers advantages which 

 no private fchool can poffefs. To bring together under the 

 immediate observation of youth, (while vet the memory is 

 mod retentive,) perfect fpecimens of the different articles of 

 commerce, both of the raw material and the manufactured, 

 will enable him to bear in mind the precifc value of anv ar- 

 ticle he may be called upon to appreciate: to point out the 

 country where every article is firft procured or manufactured, 

 will qualify him to go to the cheapeft market ; and, by teach- 

 ing him the language of fuch country, he will be at all times 

 capable of traniacting his own concerns without the inter- 

 vention of interpreters, often a very ferious fouree of impofi- 

 tion. 



" The views and purfuits of the different public bodies in 

 the town are now fo enlarged and liberal that I have no doubt, 

 fliould there be a iufficient number of fubferibers, they will 

 be induced to do their part from the conviction that they 

 thereby purfue the poritive if not immediate intereft of their 

 refpective charges.

" Subfcribers' names will be received at the Library, at 

 the Banks, and at Meffrs. Rawfon and Rodford's, bookfel- 

 lers, Lowgate ; and as foon as there are twenty fubferibers 

 a meeting will be called." 



VACCINE INOCULATION IN WALES. 



The following account has been communicated from the 

 learned Dr. W. Turton, being an extract from a printed paper 

 diftributed in Swanfca. 



" Having very nearly loft my fon in the fmall-pox from 

 inoculation, I was naturally uneafy about the event of it in 

 my daughter; and went to London, anxious to make the 

 mod minute inquiries concerning the fuccefs of the cow-pock, 

 then lately eftablimed. I examined the different hofpitals 

 and inftitutions where it was praclifed, carefully w at chid 

 the progrefs of the difeafe, and attended Dr. Pearfon to the 

 villages near Oatlantls, where upwards of three hundred 

 people, who never had the fmall-pox, were inoculated for 

 the cow-pock by the recommendation of the Duke: all of 

 thefe were again inoculated for the fmall-pox^ and without 



effect.
