value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been
tranfmittsd to o*r days ? Time, that destroys
every thing, enhances the value of well authenti

frequent occafiows to recur to the Journals of Con-,
grels, we experience inconvenience by the fcaroi
ty ef them : That we understand that Richard
Foiwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in
contemplation to print that public record; afld
that he hath obtained partial countenance from ma
-11 y individuals,; but that he has delayed prefect*-
ting the work, in expe<slation of encouragement
frsm government, that may adequately indemnify
him. We, therefore, rdpe&tirily iolicit, as the
publication is n«ceffary to be difleminated among
public bodies, that Congrcfs will, in their wifdem
render him such additional encouragement, to that
which he has obtained from private individuals,
as to enable fcim to proceed v/fth the vrork,fo that
