EXTRACT FROM TIIE CRITICAL REVIEW, A Wlltl 79J,p. 4&5.
" It, may be a t..!-: ct truth, for it is not unnatural, and
it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the ajtitice of j
teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity ra-
ther ttu:i a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity,
of hev former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and
accompanies a young officer to America—the marriage
ceremony, if not forgotten, is pollponcd, and Charlotte
dies a martyr to the iucocUancy of her lover and treach
ery of his friend.
The fituaticns are artless and aficiting—.the description
natural and pathetic ; we Ihorald feel for Charlotte if such a
peifonevcr exitted, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps
delerved fofeverea punishment. If it is a fidtion, poetic
luilicc is not, v-e think, properly diflributed."

Second-fireety Philadelphia,
ALL that well-known, beautiful and well-finiftied
BUILDING, lately completed (and formed of the
V materi >li) by Joftph Cooke, on the corner of south ,
Third and Market-streets, being 81 feet front on Third- .
street, and 26 feet on Market-flreet; built seven stories
ftigh, including garrets and two under ground ranges of
kitchens, pantries, necefTaries, and wood vaults, with au
area round the errtire, iron grated; the whole being now
| divided into three separate houses, with an elegant geome
trical stair-case to cach, with continued mahogaay hand
rail fix stories high, and a pump ©f fine water at the foot
of each star cafe ; the south houfjC of which is 20 feet
front, and now leafed to Mr. Atyuie for tw© years frern
the fir ft of OAober next, -at 3001. per annum, but wonld j
now let for 400 I; from which it is evident the whole- I
wold would rent for 10001. or upwards, being 107 feet 1
front, equally well built, much more convenient, and of
l'uperior Hand, the corner commanding two fronts ; the
middle houfc is unoccupied, and immediate poffeflion can
be* had of it. The proprietor will rent the corncr of the
purchaser, or remove at three months notice* Ihe whole
of the premises are finilhed, from garret to cellar, in the
moll elegant European stile, with handsome mantles, mar
ble chimney pieces, Veuctiim windows and doors, fccret
nailed iloors, and elegantly palifad.d and ornamented
round the roof. At the expence of two doors ia the se
cond :I«ry, the whole may be turned into a most capital
I dwelling, which, for fiEC and convenience for a public
Colfse-Room, is not new to be equalled in the United
States, it being 81 feat ltng, and 26 wide with 5 fire
place., and the third story may be made the fame size with |
convenience, the fourth (lory and garrets are turned into a j
number of lodging rooms. The ceilings arc elegantly or i
namented withfpaciouscornirhes, &c the sashes are all d»u
ble hung, from garret to cellar, and there is upwards of
3000 lights of glass in the building, with feverul doorfe of
looking glass. The floret, are spacious, Shelved and coun
tered in the newest stile, and fit for airy kindcf business,
us the Hand is not to be equalled ; Indeed it far exceeds the
limits of an advertisement to defcribethe convenience and
clegance of this building—-fuflice it to fay, that it :s the
moll extensive property, and will rent for more than any
other on the fame f.ale of ground in the United '-t
coil the proprietor a very large sum of money, together
with three years striA application to the various mechanics
emplo/ed in the execution thereof ; and he now hopes to
rcceivc a compensation for his labor#, which ii he does, no
doubt he will continue to beautify the city ; but be that as
it may, the whole must and will positively be fold with
out reserve ; fubje& to a ground rent of £.200 per annum,
or if fold in separate tenements, iachone to be fubjeft .to a
third of the ground rent.
Terms, One fourth of the purchase to be paid in hand
on the execution of the deed, the remainder :n three equal
payments of 3, 6 and 9 months, with interest. Thegrouad
plan and elevations of the premises may be feeft at the Cof
fee house, and for further particulars apply to the propri
etor, JOSEPH COOKE, on the premises, or to
William Shannon, Auctioneer.

derstanding, to expatiate on the merits of this work: they

from the Prcface :
« If the merits of a work may be esteemed from the uni
versality of its reception, Plutarch's Lives have a claim
to the firft honors of literature. No book has been more
generally fought after, or read with greater avidity. It
was one ©f the firft that was brought out of the retreats of
the learned, and translated into the modern languages.
