great applause which this exctllen 1
X book has received, is a fore proof of it 8
merits—The vast sale which it ha 9 had fo r
several years, is a fair criterion by which the
public opinion of its worth can be known.
During the life of th« learned author, it went
through the annual sale of a very large impref
fion—every fttcceeding edition received tome
improvement the result of his deep researches
and great judgment—he lived to make it as
perfect is in the nature of things it could be —

by ax happy arrangement, the reader is at once
presented with the cotemporary history of
every part of Europe. The book now offered
to the public is from the lalt and most correal

man and cook, of about fifty tw® years of age—•
tall and well (haped, of a black complexion. She
has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much
discoloured and projeA a good deal. She h s a
full head of wooly hair—a very cross forbidding
countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and
talks loud. Pat was horn in South-Cawlina, and
(peaks bad EngliGi, with the negro dialed. She
has on the upper yart of her breast, two pretty
laige lumps of flefli resembling Wens, or rather
with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She
carried away with her several changes of cloaths,
and gowns ot white muilin, and of coloured and
figured printed cottons falhionably made up. Shi
also carried away with her,
CLARA her daughter—a very flout, robust,
flrong made girl, of a short Mature, and round
fliouldered—appearing te> be about 14 years of
age. Clara has large flaring ey««, a fiat nose.an
eval flat face, her uridi-r jaw projecting a little,
and good testh. She is very artful and l.jpu
deut, has agriat fluency of speech, uses good lan
guage, and has been taught to read,—She has the
appearance of ring worms on her left cheek and
chin ; the ft 111 in (pots appearing much paler than
the reft of her Cotupl-xion, which is much lighter
than her mother's^—Her hair is short and wooly;
She wore a pink grounded printed cotton with a
Email black figure, with new tore parts.
Also ran away, 011 Wednesday the nth infl.
June, DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has
lately called hiinfelf, Richard Weaver, is a houfe
fer*ant, — he about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather
fotall made, is about 25 years old, of a
smooth, black complexion—has a flat. nose, with
very large open notlrils. He carried his head
and neck ai if he were fliff in the neck and Ihoul
ders, which are high and tdlerably square, and his
neck Ihort—his legs are flraight but small and
illy made, with scarce ar.y calt. He has hai had
teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward
he has a full head of wooly hair, which he pl:its
and dresses to the best advantag;. His voi'e is
small, his tpeech commoly mild and flow, and his
manners appear extremely Ample, but he is at
bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is
very apt to b: paflionate and impertinent. Dick
is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad
Englilh—he seduced and carried away with him
Amelia. who he called his wife.
Amelia is a very complete, well inftrufted la
dies maid, much below the common flature and
of a small make—htr complexion is that of i dark
mulatto or mefiizoe, nearly rcfembling that of the
Lascars of India, with black curling hair, and a
very low forehead—her right eye has a greSt
weakness, owing to the small pox in her infancy—
under her eye. very black—a flat face, flat broad
nose, with fearefc any rising at the bridge; a large
mouth, with thick lips, and good fining teeth.
On the nape of her neck she has the marks of a.
Seton Dresses with taste, and imitates the French
flyle ; is very sensible, and exprtfies hcrftll well.
She took with her a variety ot clothes, falhiou
ably ni.de—fhe has for more than two years f ail
been liable to fits, which at times give her a wild
nefs in her eyes—her health:s generally delicate—*
she is at pre/cut likely to encrecfe ber family, and i»
about 21 years of age—(he can dress hair, clear
(larch, has a tafle for millinary and mantua-ma
king; and as file is very ingenious, can turn her
hand to any thing and may probably offer herfeif
to foroe milliner or roantna maker as a work
woman. As Amelia has heretofore been a great
favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and 'tis
believed ftas been led away by the persuasion of
