EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM
still more and more an object of rational
entertainment, and subservient to the in

tion and with the advice of a number of
his friends, provided a Book, which will
be always open for the infpeftion of those
who visit his Museum, in which book it is
proposed to insert all such discoveries, in
ventions, improvements, fchemej, obser
vations, expeiiments, projects, hints or
queries relating to the arts or feitnees, as
any of his visitors, or coriefpondents.may
from time totime communicate.
Such as may chufe to conceal their names
may either fend their communicatians ano
nymous, or at their desire, C- W. Peale
will iiifert their names, with the numberor
signature of ther refpefiive communica
tions in a private book which he Ihill keep
for that purpose.
The advantages of such a public register
are obvious. It willrefcile from oblivion
many uleful hints, which might otherwise
have died with their authors, ft may fe.
cure to inventors their j"ftclain<p, andpie
vent others from taking the honor or profit
of a to whkh they are not en

Where angui/h wails aloud>and fetters clank:

And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;

And murm'ring demon* hate him, and ad-
