The great utility of chemifry becomes

taught by a great number of friends and 
profeffors.

ECONOMY, TECHNOLOGY, &c. 
Thefe fciences feem to be the order of 
the day. Men now begin to be convin- | 
ced, that the advantages arifing from high 
pofts of honour, to which it is often im-

of {cience ; on which we accordingly find 
many meritorious works publifbed.
