Veen dollars and one fifth.
The opinion ot the President of the United

" I believe the American Mufcum has met
with extcnfive, I may fay, with tinivecfal ap
probation from competent judges ; for I am of
opinion, that thr work is not only eminently
calculated 10 dill" minate political, agricultural,
philosophical, and othrr valuable information ;
but that it h;is been unjormly condu fled with tafle,
attention, and propriety. If 'to these important
objects be lupciadded the more immediate de
sign of rescuing public documents from obli
