THE Advertiser entreats that the Public will not confider him as ufing the paltry tricks of advertising Quacks: He can affure the world that he is a man of character, and his manner of dealing will prove it. Sales below prime coft are continued from year to year; and the great fums of money that are made by fuch dealers must convince the moft credulous, that they can be underfold in every article; and the Public may be affured, that even the manufacturer himfelf cannot afford the goods fo cheap

as

as the Advertiser; and he entreats, that Ladies and Gentlemen will believe him, and trust the quality to his integrity.

TIMELY notice of the place of sale will be given in a future advertisement, and commiffions will be called for at every house.

[A VERY extraordinary licentioufnefs had been obferved for fome time among the youth of both. fexes, and particularly the very young females, as would appear from the following note, which was published in the EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT. This note had led to enquiry; and the Printer, who had refufed other ftrictures, admitted those that follow.]

"WE have received JUVENAL's favour, and " must allow, if his facts are well founded, that his "fatire, though cutting and fevere, is certainly "juft; and that no language can be too ftrong to "lafh fo abjectly vicious and deteftable a charac"ter. But, as it is fo marked, and fuch circum"stances pointed out, as might roufe indignation, "we must beg leave to decline being the inftru

"ment of the correction, however juft and lau"dable. We would recommend it to our corre"fpondent JUVENAL to bestow a paper of ferious "advice to parents and guardians on attention to "the education and conduct of their children, and "particularly daughters, from the earliest period of "life, if they wish them to escape the character of "impure. Manners and morals are indeed diffo"lute; but furely a hoary head fhould induce at"tention to decorum, if it does not extinguish "grofs vice."

[A few days after this, an apology from the Printer, and a letter upon the fubject appeared.]

THE following letter occafioned by our note to a correlpondent, JUVENAL, in a late paper, is too interesting to be fuppreffed, though we receive in it our own fhare of cenfure.

SIR,

I OBSERVE you have received, from a corre

fpondent, JUVENAL, ftrictures on fome character, occafioned, as it would feem, by fuch a fpecies of turpitude, that I cannot help reprehending your prudential reafons for fupprefling them.-Pray confider, Sir, that the greateft advantage we can derive from the freedom of the prefs is the correction

of

of vice, and the protection of virtue ;, and these purposes ought not to be defeated by too fcrupulous a delicacy. That noble and generous fentiment of the Roman poet fhould ever be prefent to the mind.

Nihil humani a me alienum puto.

Dare, Sir, to be avowedly a friend to mankind, and take a concern in what refpects the rights of humanity. What heart will not make the cause of virtue and innocence peculiarly interefting, except fuch deteftable characters as are pointed out by your correfpondent JUVENAL? Spare them not, Sir, but drag them into public view. It is the cause of humanity, and should be heard.

WE condemn to an ignominious death the poor illiterate wretch who pilfers our property; yet the worst of affaffins in a high fphere of life, who murders the peace and happiness of families, who trains the young and unexperienced to vice, and renders them the fcorn of the virtuous, and the outcasts of fociety, is allowed to walk about with impunity, a deliberate villain!

SOME recent inftances will start to the view of every perfon acquainted with this metropolis; and to others, the marks of pity, contempt, and scorn, which are expreffed as they pafs along, will fufficiently point them out.

THE

than the most confiderable merchant can purchase it at the manufacturing towns in England, though buying 50,000 yards together, and paying ready

money.

The Seller being a Perfon of Character, prefumes his word will not be doubted; and, as all comparisons are odious, he hopes none will be fo illbred as to make comparisons between his goods and thofe of other dealers.

N. B. Some veritable NINE-TIMES-DYED BLUE FLANNEL, for Sore Throats, Gout, and Rheumatifm. -WATER-PROOF CLOTHS, which prevent external wetting, and promote perfpi

ration.

II. CHINA WARE of every fpecies, from the true Nankeen to the veritable Preftonpans, as cheap as Staffordshire Ware or Brown Pottery.

N. B. Some nice eyes may perhaps perceive, that many of the Tea Cups and Basons are not exact circles, but rather inclined to the elliptical or oval form; and that the Dishes and Tureens have not the ring of found metal. But fuch obfervations are to be difregarded. As the one half of mankind are fond of show, and without difcernment, moft families will gain reputation, and fave money, by purchasing as above.
