few days afterwards, Priest, by the Bishop of Carlisle. Be- 

 sides remaining in Scotland about one year, he spent two 

 or three months at the University of Oxford. 



He was first settled in the ministry at Brunswick, in New- 

 Jersey. Here he remained about three years. From Bruns- 

 wick, in the beginning of the year 1157, he removed to Ja- 

 maica, on Long-Island, where he resided until December, 

 1166; thence he removed to Westchester, in the State of 

 New-York. In this place he remained until the commence- 

 ment of the revolutionary war, when he went into the city 

 of New-York, and after the termination of this controversy 

 settled in Connecticut. In 1777 he received the degree of 

 Doctor of Divinity from the University of Oxford. 



Dr. Seabury went to England, in 1784, to obtain con- 

 secration as Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. 

 Meeting, in South-Britain, with some obstruction to the ac-

 Scotland, where, in the month of November in that year, 

 he was consecrated Bishop, by Messrs. Robert Kilgour, 

 Arthur Petrie, and John Skinner, nonjuring Bishops 

 of Scotland. 



He continued for a number of years after this period to re- 

 side at New- London, and to discharge, in an exemplary man- 

 ner, the duties of his office. He was warmly attached to the 

 Episcopal Church, and generally esteemed as one of her most 

 zealous and able defenders in America. — He died in 1796.

The following list of American Colleges has been made 

 out with considerable care. It may, perhaps, be regarded as 

 a record of some value, not only for gratifying present cu- 

 riosity, but also for future reference. 



In Massachusetts there are three Colleges, viz. 



1. Harvard College, or the University of Cambridge. 

 This is the oldest institution of the kind in North-America. 

 It was founded in 1638. 



In 1636 the General Court of Massachusetts gave c£400 

 towards the support of a public school at Cambridge, then 

 called Newtown. Mr. John Harvard, an eminent cler- 

 gyman, dying in 1638, left near £8 00, being the greater 

 part of his estate, to the same object. In consequence of this
