The public utility of extending this wharf, is too evident K> re
quire any comment, to those who are acquainted with the town
and harbour of New-Haven ; to those who are not, fuffice it to fay,
that its beautiful situation is not surpassed, if equalled by any ; be
ing in the heart of a country, which may, with propriety, be said
to be the garden of America. The harbour lays open to the lound
but by realpn of the flats, this wharf is neccfTarily extended to the
channel, where ships can load and unload ; and when compleat
e.J, will be the mod extensive and commodious wharf in America,
the whole extent being about 3~4ths of a mile; and not only the
mercantile interest of New-Haven and the towns adjacent, but the
maritime interest of all the States will be benefited by it. The
general wish that prevails in the minds of all classes of people, for
the success of this enterprize, together with the very great advan
tage which this scheme holds out to adventurers (there being more
capital prizes for the number of tickets than any yet publiftied in
Amcriea) induce the managers to believe the tickets will meet with
a speedy laic. ,

TO THK PUBLIC.
ON T the fourteenth of January last the subscriber presented a
memorial to Congress, bating his intention to publish a
complete and correct octavo edition of the Laws, Resolutions, and
Treaties of the United States, and praying that such measures
might be adopted as would give authenticity to fa id edition.
The memorial was read in tile House of Representatives, and re
ferred to the Secretary of State. On the seventh of February that
officer, after mapuredcliberation made the following report : —
" The Secreiary of State, to whom was referred the memorial
of Andrew Brown, printer, of Philadelphia, has had the fame un
der his confidcration, and thereupon makes the following
Retort,
The Memorialist states that he has in contemplation to publilh
a corredl edition of the Laws, Treaties, and Resolutions of the
United States, and prays, that such mealures may be adopted for
giving a public authentication to his woik, as may ensure its re
ception throughout the United Stales.
The Secretary of State observes, that there exists, at present, but
a single edition of the laws of the United States, to wit, the one
printed by Childs and Swaine; that this edition is authentic, the
proof-lhee'ts thereof having been carefully collated by fwovn
clerks, with the original rolls in his office, and rendered literally
conformable therewith. That the firft volume of this edition ran
now rarely be found, the copies originally printed being mofHy
disposed of.
That it is desirable that copies of the laws fhou'.d be so multi
plied throughout the states, and in such cheap forms, as that every
oiti/en of the United States may be able to procure them. That
it is important also, that such publications be rendered authentic,
by a collation of the proof-fhrets with the original rolls, by sworn
clerks, when they are printed at the feat of government, or in its
neighbourhood, and by a collation of the whole work when print
ed a* a distance, and a certified correction of its typogrophical er
rors annexed to each volume.
septs)
That this, however, if done at the public expense, would occa
sion an inconvenient augmentation of the number of clerks, as the
ast of collation requires the presence of three clerks, one'to hold
theVoll, a second a printed copy [already authenticated, and the
third the proof sheet.
That it would be more reasonable that persons of confidence
fliould be employed, at the expence of the Editor, to be named
and sworn as clerks, for the special occasion.
That, in this way. he is 01 opinion that it will be advantageous
to the public 10 permitthat the Laws, to be printed by the Memo
rialist, be collated with, and corre&ed by, the original rolls, and
that a certificate thereof, by the Secretary of State, be annexed to
the Edition.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, Secretary of State.
February 5, 1789."
In confcquencc of this report, Congress have adopted the fol
lowing resolve—
" RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Represent a-
TiVESofthe United States of America in Congress alfembled,
That Andrew Brown, or any other printer, be permuted, under
the dire£Hon of the Secretary of State, to collate with, and corrett
by, the original rolls, the Law., Resolutions and Treaties of the
United States, to be by him punted. And that a certificate of
their having been so collated and corrcfted be annexed to the said
Edition. Provided, That such collation and correction be at the
expense of the said Andrew Brown, or such other printer, and
that the person or persons to be by him or them employed in that
service, be approved by the Secretary of State.
FREDERICK AUGUSTUS MUHLENBERG,
Speaker of the Houfeof Representatives.
JOHN ADAMS, Vice-Prrfident of the United States,
and President of the Senate.
Approved, February the eighteenth, 1791.

State

As this Edition of the statutes of the united states is
to be printed at the feat of government, and with the approbation
of Congress, and as the proof-fheets shall be collated with the
original rolls and records, by sworn cleiks, in the office of the
Secretary of State, there can be no doubt but it will meet with a
candid and universal reception.
