\ E have great pleafure in announc- 
ing to the public, that a plan for 
an Inftitution, to teach by lectures and 
experiments, the application of philoto- 
phy to the improvement of the mechanical 
arts, and the other arts of lite, to which 
it is the molt directly applicable, has 
been propofed by fome gentlemen of the 
firft eminence in this country; that a 
number of men of rank and fortune have 
already ft-bicribed an annual coniribution 
of fifty guineas, towards carrying it into 
execution: that their intention is to have 
a complete apparatus for every branch, 
and to emplcy, as teachers, none but 
men of the higheft philofephiecal diftine- 
tion. There is re2fon to hope, trom the 
activity of the gentlemen who have been 
concerned in promoting this plan, that it 
may be very fpeedily reduced into an 
eftablifhment. When we name Sir Jo- 
SEPH BANKS, bart. and Count Rum- 
FORD, we need add nothing more to 
point out the importance of the defign to 
the public. 
Recent and numerous experiments made 
by the moft eminent of the faculty in 
London, tend to confirm the efheacy of 
the Cow Pox, asa means of extirpating 
that horrible fcourge of the human race, 
the Small Pox. Several hundred individu- 
als have recently been inoculated for this 
new difeafe an the metropolis, and they 
have all taken it, and recovered from it- 
in a fewdays, without its being atteaded 
by any illnefs; other than a few puitules 
which have appeared in the arm: thefe 
perfons have fince been repeatedly inocu- 
Jated with the variolous matter of the 
imall-pox, but without effect ; feveral of 
them have even flept in the fame bed with 
perions in the moft infsétious Rate of the 
datter diforder, but without being in any 
degree affected by it! 
Mr. ConsirT, lecturer on philofephi- 
cal chemiftry, propofes to deliver a courie, 
confiiting of twelve lectures, including a 
variety of experiments on the philofophy 
of agriculture. The firft leéture will be 
delivered on Thurtday, the 7th of March, 
at one o’clock m the forenoon, and they 
will be continued three times a week, until. 
the whole is completed. 
A tranflation is in forwardnefs of the 
valuableTravels of the DUKE DE RocuHz- 
FOUCAULT LIANCOURT in North Ame- 
rica, fo late as. the years 1796, 1797, and 
1798. The known talents of the enlight- 
enced and nobie traveller, and the imper- 
fect knowledge in Europe of the pretent 
condition of the United States and of Ca- 
nada, will doubtleis occafion thefe vo- 
lumes to be an acceptable addition to the 
exifting books of Travels in the Englith 
lancuage.
