BY THE
PRESIDENT of the United States
A PROCLAMATION
. \-\7HEREAS certain violent
( / VV and unwarrantable pro
ceedings have lately taken place,tend
ing to obftrudt the operation of the
laws of the United States for raising
a revenue upon spirits difti 1 led with
in the fame, enacfted pursuant to ex
press authority delegated in the con
ltitution of the United Srates : which
proceedings are subversive of good
order, contrary to theduty that every
citizen owes to his country and tothe
laws, and of a nature dangerous to
the very being of a government.
And whereas fach proceedings ?re
the more unwarrantable, by rea(on
of the moderation which has been
heretofore shewn on the part of the
government, and of the disposition
which has been manifefted by the le
gislature (who alone have authority
to suspend the operation of laws) to
obviate causes of objection, and to
render the laws as acceptable as pos
sible : and whereas it is the particu
lar duty of the Executive " to take
care that the laws be faithfully exe
cuted and not only that duty, but
the permanent interests and happi
ness of the people require, that every
legal and neceflary Hep should b~- pur
sued, as well to prevent such violent
and unwarrantableproceedings, as to
bring to justice the infractors of the
laws and secure obedience thereto.
Now Therefore I, GEORGE
WASHINGTON, President of the
United States, do by these presents
most earnestly admonish and exhort
all persons whom it may concern, to
refrain and desist from all unlawful
combinations and proceedings what
soever, having for object or tending
to obftruft the operation of the laws
aforefaid ; inafnuich as all lawful
ways and means will be ftridtly put
in execution for bringing to justice
the infractors thereof and securing
ehcdience thereto.
A.ad 1 do moreover charge and re
quire a It courts, niagiftrates and offi
cers <vl it may concern, according
to the th of their several offices,
to exert th : powers in them respec
tively v.-fti by law for the purposes
aforefai.i ereby also enjoining and
reqnliin -.11 persons whomfover, as
the} te ?r the welfare of their coun
try , th< ill and due authority of go
vern mei t, and the preservation of
the p'il ic peace, to be aiding and as
sisting therein according to law.
In 't'tftimony whereof, I have caused
(he Seal of the United Slates to be
affixed to thefeprefents, and Signed
'.he fame -with my Hand- Bone this
fifteenth day of September, in the
year of our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and ninety two, and of the

PROPOSALS
FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
An ELEGANT EDITION oj the
SACRED SCRIPTURES
Ot the OLD ami NEW TESTAMENTS, with the
Apocrypha,
0n a very large and beantijul new T)pe, andfupeijine
Paper.
THE great importance ot the Holy Scriptures,
imereiting to every individual; the divine excel
lence of its do£trincs and precepts, and the beauty
and sublimity of its paflages, have so long made it
a capital object of attention, as to preclude occa
sion or opportunity for eulogium.
The piety or enterprize of individuals has pre
sented this invaluable book to the public in a va
riety ot forms ; in some editions it has been highly
embellished with superb engravings, which have
greatly enhanced its price ; in others it has been
accompanied with voluminous commentaries,
which neceflarily encreafed the size; while a va
riety of plain cheap copies have generally diffufed
the knowledge of the Scripture, and made the
purchase easy to every class.
Without wishing in the lmaileft degree to lessen
the merits ot the various editions, whether plain
or ornamented, which the public are already in
poirtflion ot, it is pertinent to remark, that very
many readers ot taste and judgment have exprefled
a with for a Family Bible unencumbered with ad
ditions. There still appears room for another
edition on a beautiful new type, superior in size
and elegance to any bible that has yet been printed
in the English language, and which, leaving the
adventitious circumstances ot ornament or com
ment, may exhibit the Oracles oj God in their na
tive limplicity.
SPECIMEN OF THE TYPE.
I 5 And God said,
d Let there be light: and
there was light.
With refpe£lful fubmiflion to the judgment and
candour of the public, the following proposals are
offered :
I. The woik (hall be printed with the gieateft
fidelity and attention to corre&r.efs both in the
text and marginal references, on a fuperfine Paper
made on purpose, with an elegant new Type call
for the work of the size ot the above Specimen.
11. The work will be comprised in twenty
number.*, making two elegant volumes in Folio ;
to be furnifhed to fubfeubers at one dollar each
number. To prevent any complaints of want of
punctuality, no part of ihcwork wll be delivered
unlef. paid for.
111. The firft number, containing sixty folio
pages, elegantly printed, will be furnUhed on the
firft Saturday of July next, when fubferibers are
to pay the price of the firft and second numbers,
and the piice of one number to be always in ad
vance till the work ts completed. The subsequent
numbers to be published regularly on the firft Sa
turday of each succeeding month, till the whole
is finifhed.

THE peculiar circumstances of a gentleman
who had undertaken to difpofeof a propor
tion of the tickets in the New-Bi unfwick Church

venient for him further to proceed in the sale
thereof, between eleven and twelve hundred tick
ets are unfxpe£ied!y returned to the Rettor,
Church-Wardens and Veftiy-mcn. This lays the
Managers under the neceflity of further adjourning
the drawing of the Lottery, until the fifteenth day
of O&ober next, that they may have time to trans
mit these tickets to the parts of the state where they
aieapplied for, and receive the returns. As there
are but few tickets besides these remaining on
hand, all persons who are disposed to promote the
pious object of this Lottery, or to take a chance
for the prizes therein, are requested to supply them
selves by the firft of O&ober ; and the gentlemen
appointed to dispose of them, are desired to return
those to the Managers which then remain unfold,
