The addit tion of maps of the several ftate>, procured a a very great expense, and from the best mal terials that are attainable, speaks such ful conviction on this fubjeft, that it would be difrefpeft to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In noj similar work have such maps beenever intro duced. The emendations and additions which are made in this work,are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a (light (ketch of a few of them. The publisher takes the present opportu* nity of returning his most sincere thanks to those refpr&able characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a conti nuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are poilcfled of si milar documents, will favor him with their a<ance in perfecting his undertaking. The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in hisbreaft the warmed sentiments of grati tude— sentiments which time will not efface.

Price 5s JOHN ORMROD, At Franklin*s Head-, No. 4T, Second Street, AN ESSAY ON THE Natural Equality of Men, On the Rights that result from it, and on the Duties which it impoies. To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. CorreQed and Enlarged. By WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, ProfefTor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Eccleliaflical History ; and Minister of the English Church at U trecht. Aliquid Temper ad communcm utilitatem af fcrcnduin. Cicero. The F'trjl American Edition. THE grand principle of" Equality, if right ly underltood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfedt freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this efTay, at the fame time that it reprefles the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppreflion ; confirms, in the mofl forcible manner, the neceflity oi" subor dination, and the just demands of lawful au thority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, every natural and every civil diftin&ion, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious arid justly proportioned sys tem, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of human na ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com mon relation to the community.
