Phillips, John: Essex : Suffolk, and Norfolk, Navigable Canal from London to Norwich and Lynn. By subscription, ready for the press, and speedily will be published, Price Five Shillings, half Bound, dedicated, by permission, to Thomas Bernay Brampston and John Bullock, Esqrs. Representatives for Essex; Sir John Rous, Bart. and Joshua Grigby, Esq. Representatives for Suffolk; Sir Edward Astley and Sir John Wodehouse, Barts. Representatives for Norfolk; a treatise addressed to the Nobility, Gentry, Land owners, Merchants, Traders, Farmers, and Manufacturers, of the Cities and Towns in those Counties, and also the City of London. Containing a full and particular account of the numerous advantages which will accrue to them, if a Navigable Canal was immediately cut from London through the interior parts of the above Counties to Norwich and Lynn. Pointing out The advantages which will accrue from such an undertaking, to the Kingdom in general, and to the Cities of London and Norwich, and Town of Lynn, in particular. As also to above sixty market and manufacturing Towns, and near seven hundred Villages, through and near which it is proposed to pass; which communication will always prevent a scarcity or monopoly of Corn or Coals in the London Market. Also, Shewing the amazing saving of land carriage, and the immense numbers of acres of land, now engrossed for growing of horse corn, only for horses employed in land carriage in these three Counties, which may be converted to other uses, as well as be the means of doubling, and in many places trebling, the value of land and produce, by a speedy, easy, and cheap conveyance to a market for consumption or exportation; and a certain and constant supply of oak timber for the royal navy, as 28,000 oak trees are proposed to be planted at proper distances, on the banks of the Canal. Including likewise, An estimate of the whole expence, and mode of raising the money necessary to carry it into execution, on the most easy, certain, and expeditious terms, and the extraordinary interest it will produce. As also a scheme for the repayment of the principal in a few years, and for rendering the shares of original Subscribers, a valuable and immense Freehold Income for ever. Illustrated with a Geographical whole sheet map of the passage which the proposed Canal is intended to take through the three Counties: As also with two views; the one of the Duke of Bridgewater's amazing Aquaduct over the River Irwell, in Lancashire, with his Grace's barges sailing thereon, forty feet above the river, and barges also passing under it, and on the river, at the same time: the other the view of the subterraneous passage of the great Staffordshire Canal above a mile under ground, at the great hill called Harecastle. The whole shewing the utility and importance of Inland Navigation. By an Essex Freeholder. At this present time, when the Princes of France, Poland, and Russia, are setting examples of this kind, for the promotion of commerce and agriculture, the Author flatters himself, the above work is not beneath the notice (if not of the Prince) at least of the present Prime Minister, the son of the immortal Chatham. Those Noblemen, Gentlemen, and others, who wish to promote and encourage this useful, instructing, and entertaining Treatise, are requested to transmit their Names as soon as possible, to the Printers of the Norwich, Ipswich, and Chelmsford News-Papers; Mr. Debrett, Bookseller, Piccadilly, or to Mr. Anrdews, Printer and Bookseller, No. 10, Little-Eastcheap, London; as it is intended only to print such a number as to answer the expected demand. N. B. No Subscription Money is desired till the Book is ready to be delivered, which will be on the first of December next at farthest, at which time the Book will be Delivered and the Subscription called for. - The Subscribers Names will be printed, if permitted. -

Wonderful exhibition!!! : Signor Gulielmo Pittachio The sublime wonder of the World!!! Condescends to inform the Public at large, and his Friends in particular, that he has now opened his Grand Hall of Exhibitions at Westminster, with a grand display of his Astonishing and Magnificent Deceptions; Which have been approved by all the Crowned Heads in the Universe, and which are unparalleled in the History of Mankind. First-The Signor will bring forward A Magical Alarm Bell, At the ringing of which, all the Company shall become Mad or Foolish. Secondly-He will produce his justly celebrated curious spy glasses, which distort and misrepresent all Objects that are looked at through them, and occasion in the Company a sudden and social dismay; such as has never before been witnessed in this Country. Thirdly-By Means of an enchanted drum, he will set all the Company a fighting, for the avowed Purpose of preserving order and tranquillity. During the Battle, Signor Pittachio will convey their money out of their pockets in a New and Entertaining Manner. Fourthly-He will produce a most extraordinary Effect in the Optics of the Spectators, by means of some Gold Dust, so that they shall not be able to distinguish Colors; but shall call (at the Signor's command) Black, White, and White, Black, to the Edification of all Beholders. Fifthly-He will make some Marvellous Experiments upon his own memory, By forgetting the most Material Incidents of his Life, with an almost incredible Precision. - N. B. To remove Doubts, these Experiments upon memory will be made upon oath. Sixthly-By his Oratorical Efforts, he will in the Course of a few Minutes persuade the greater Part of his Audience to salute him a posteriori, then to give him three cheers and nominate him the heaven-born conjuror; With various Slight-of-Hand Performances and Whimsical Exuberances too tedious to mention. In the Course of the Entertainments the Sublime Pittachip will exhibit upwards of two hundred automata, or moving puppets, Who will rise up, sit down, say Yes, or No, Receive Money, Rake among the Cinders, or do any Dirty Work he may think proper to put them to-N. B. This is a most fascinating Trick. Afterwards Signor Gulielmo Pittachip will discover to the Company the unrivalled Treasures of his private cabinet, formed on a mere Mechanical Principal, without Hinges, Joints, Dove-Tail, or Glue. The Whole to conclude with a Dramatic Piece in One Act, called The Humbug; or John Bull a Jack Ass, In which Signor Pittachio (not having yet engaged any female Performers) will indulge the company with a Solo on the Viol D'amour. N. B. The Hall is commodious, but the Company will be kept as much in the dark as possible, to give greater Effect to The deceptions. Signor Pittachio is extremely sorry to inform the Public, that owing to some unaccountable Mismanagement in the Persons he employed he has been disappointed of several capital Performers whom he had hoped to have brought forward, for the Purpose of exhibiting various Feats of Activity on the tight rope, this Part of the entertainment therefore must be Deferred. To Supply this Deficiency Signor Pittachio will close his Wonderful Performances by exhibiting his own Person on the thight rope. For the benefit of the swinish multitude. Vivant Rex et Regina. -

And successively performed in the years 1768, 1769, 1770, 1771-1772, 1773, 1774, 1775-1776, 1777, 1778; 1779, 1780. His first voyage-being professedly undertaken in His Majesty's ship the endeavour, for observing the transit of Venus, and for making discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere, and round the world. His second-in the resolution and adventure, for making further discoveries towards the south pole, and round the world. His third and last-in the resolution and discovery, to the Pacific Ocean, for making discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere, and to determine the position and extent of the west side of North America; its distance from Asia; and the practicability of a northern passage to Europe. Comprehending, among the greatest variety of the most interesting transactions, a faithful account of all the particulars relative to the unfortunate death of Capt. Cook, with his life, &c. &c. Including likewise all the curious remarks communicated to this country by Capt. Cook's principal assistants in performing and conducting these celebrated voyages, viz. Sir Joseph Banks, Dr. Solander, Dr. King, Dr. Hawkesworth, Dr. Forster, Mr. Forster, Capt. Clerke, Capt. Gore, Mr. Ellis, &c. &c. Together with a narrative of Capt. Furneaux's proceedings in the adventure during the separation of the ships in the second voyage, during which period several of his people were destroyed by the natives of Queen Charlotte's sound. To which will be added, complete and genuine narratives of other voyages of discovery round the world, &c. undertaken, performed, and written by English circum-navigators, &c. under the sanction of government, viz. those of Lord Byron, Capt. Wallis, Capt. Carteret, Lord Mulgrave, Lord Anson, Mr. Parkinson, Capt. Lutwidge, Mess. Ives, Middleton, Smith, Moore, &c. &c. &c. Including a faithful relation of the substance of all the most remarkable and important travels and journeys, which have been undertaken at various times to the different quarters of the world; particularly those of Hanway, Hamilton, Herbert, Drummond, Pocock, Shaw, Stuart, Kalm, Carver, Dalrymple, Burnet, Addison, Barretti, Keysler, Thickness, Twiss, Brydone, Chandler, Johnson, Smollet, Moore, Wraxall, &c. The whole comprehending a full account, from the earliest period to the present time, of whatever is curious, entertaining, and useful, both by sea and land, in the various countries of the known world, faithfully extracted from the original journals of the respective voyagers, &c. &c. &c. Being the most accurate, elegant, and perfect edition, of the whole of Capt. Cook's voyages and discoveries; &c. Ever published, and written in a more pleasing and elegant stile than any other work of the kind. Illustrated with (besides the curious and interesting cuts for Capt. Cook's first and second voyages, &c. &c. &c.) all the elegant, splendid, and fine large folio copper-plates, belonging to his third and last voyage, being views of places, portraits of persons, and historical representations of remarkable incidents during this celebrated navigator's voyage to the Pacific Ocean; together with all the necessary maps, charts, plans, draughts, &c. Shewing the tracks of the ships, and relative to countries now first discovered, or hitherto but imperfectly known; the whole (amounting to upwards of one hundred and fifty copper-plates, containing about two hundred and twenty most elegant and superb engravings) sinely engraved and accurately copied from the originals by the most eminent masters. It is proper to observe, that some other editions of these works (unnecessarily extended to many large volumes, by loose printing, blank paper, and other artisices practised by mercenary persons) would cost a purchaser the enormous sum of upwards of twenty guineas; so that many thousands of persons who would with to peruse the valuable discoveries so partially communicated to the world, and view the astonishing fine copper-plates, have hitherto been excluded from gratifying their eager curiosity; but this edition, by being published in only eighty six-penny numbers, (making, when completed, either one or two very large handsome volumes in folio) enables every person, whatever may be his circumstances, to become familiarly acquainted with those extraordinary and important voyages and discoveries, in the performance and prosecution of which such vast sums of the public money have been expended. Therefore as the price of this work is rendered so moderate and easy, the whole of Capt. Cook's voyages, &c. will be more universally read, and the obvious intention of the King and government, that the improvements and discoveries in these celebrated voyages might be communicated to the whole world, will of course be more fully answered. The whole of these voyages of Capt. James Cook, &c. being newly written by the editors from the authentic journals of several principal officers and other gentlemen of the most distinguished naval and philosophical abilities, who sailed in the various ships; and now publishing under the immediate direction of George William Anderson, Esq. assisted, very materially, by a principal officer who sailed in the resolution sloop, and by many other gentlemen of the Royal Navy. -

To all gentlemen, ladies and others, The intent of Publishing this Book in this Nature is, that each Person shall first have the Reading of it through, and then Consider the weighty Matters herein Contain'd. The intent being only for the Publick Good, as to the Preservation of Life in Time of Need. It having met with that Reception in the Kingdom of England, that there was upwards of Four Hundred Thousand of them Distributed. So that in Case, after Twelve Hours Time to Peruse it over, this Jewel shall not be thought worthy of the Price of one single Penny, and to be lockt up in your Cabinet, as the most estimable Riches in your Family; Praying to God so favour this Kingdom, that there may be never occasion to make use of it. Be pleas'd to keep it Clean, and return it to the Bearer. N. B. Since the nations of Great Britain are equally Concern'd, And are under the apprehensions of fear, of that contagious distemper the plague spreading, by the Eggs being scatter'd as the Weather shall become Warm, in this year ensuing 1722. which the two famous Citys in England and Ireland, (viz.) London and Dublin, too severly felt the smart, let it not be forgot. Therefore, as the present wise government of the Kingdom of England. thought fit that the Learne College on Physitians of London, should prescribe remedys for every family to be their own physicians, in the Day of Tribulation and Afflictions, and time of Need; when no one will attend them. They have in this book, without any Reserve to themselves, Candidly set forth, the true experienc d remedies made us e of in the Year of the great Sickness 1665 in London, where-with so many Thousands were Preserv'd, of all that took it, not one Died, which was done by Order of the King and Council; with the true Receipts and Rules for its prevention and Cure. Courteous Reader, Consider why the same Measures taken in England, for the Prevention and Cure of that Pestilential Distemper call'd the Plague; may not be as useful in this Kingdom, since if you Compare the terrible Infection now rageing in France with that in Dublin in the Year 1652. and that in London in the Year 1665. you will find them equal the same; and therefore ought to be kept in every Family, to be ready at Hand, when no one will attend them. Dedicated to the Honourable Sir Hans Sloane, Knight and Baronet, President to the famous College of Physicians in London. -

Fénelon, François de Salignac de La Mothe-: The adventures of Telemachus : the son of Ulysses, King of Ithaca, &c. in Greece, and one of the princes who conducted the siege of Troy. Complete in twenty-four books. Originally written in French, not only for the Use and Instruction of the Dauphin of France, to guard him, in an allegorical Way, against forming his Conduct after the bad Example of his Grandfather Louis XIV. but also to promote the Happiness of Mankind in general; by Francis Salignac de la Motte Fenelon, Late Archbishop of Cambray, in the French Netherlands. Now newly translated fro the best Paris and other editions, by William Henry Melmoth, Esq. Author of the New Abridgment of the Roman History-of the Complete Abridgment of the Grecian History-And of the New Universal Story-Teller, or Modern Picture of Human Life; being an approved Collection of original and select Pieces in Prose and Verse. - Price 3s. each bound. To which are added, the life of the original author; the Heads and Arguments of each Book at Large; and a great Variety of Notes, Historical, Critical, Explanatory, Scholastic, Political, Moral, Philological, Satirical, and Illustrative: Comprehending the most salutary Reflections and Remarks, with Allusions to Ancient Mythology, Geography, and Universal History, particularly to the Histories of England and France:-A Work of the first Reputation, replete with Maxinis of Human Prudence, and including the most persect System of Morality ever presented to the World, displaying to all Descriptions of Persons the Horrors of Vice, and the Charms of Virtue, in the most forcible Manner. The Mysteries of the wisest and best Politics are here developed: the inordinate Passions are depicted as a Yoke equally disgraceful and fatal; while the Moral Duties appear with all the Attractions of Ease and Beauty. The reasoning is just, the precepts are important. It is a Work which Genius and Learning have dedicated to Virtue: it at once captivates the Imagination, informs the Understanding, and regulates the Will. This valuable Book teaches us to make Morality an Religion our Guide in good, as well as in adverse Fortune; never to forget the Love we owe our Paretnts and our Courntry. It forms our Minds for a king, a Citizen, a feather, a mother, a Master, a Gentleman, a Tradesman, a Servant, and even a Slave, if such should be our Lot; and, in short, teaches us to act properly in all the vaious Spheres of Life. Mentor (under which Character is meant Minerva) in his Counsels to Telemachus, must make us just, humane, patient, sincere, discret, and modest. He never speaks but he places, engages, moves and persuades. We cannot attend to him but with Admiration; and, in Proportion as we admire, we cannot help loving his Advice, which is entertaining as well as instructive. This Translation has been carefully revised with all the former Editions, and particular Attention has been paid to the various Readings of Hawkesworth, Smollett, Boyer, Litterbury, Oldes, Ozell, and others, entirely omitting their Inaccuracies and Blemithes, and preserving whatever we judged might elucidate the great Design the Author had in View when he composed this Work, viz, of promoting the Happiness of his noble Pupil and of the World in general. Embellished in a very superior Stile of Magnificence, with a set of unusually grand copper-plates, exquisitely designed by those ingenious Artists, Kauffman, Monnet, Eisen, and Morlau, and engraved, in a capital Manner, by Messrs. Walker, Collyer Grignion, Bartolozzi, and Grainger, who have exerted their unrivalled Talents in these splendid Performances; single Impression of which will be charged at as, each Print: so that these capital Engravings alone will be absolutely worth Four Times the Price of the whole Work; which is the most beautiful Edition of Telemachus ever published in this or any other Country, and Calculated To Gratify Every Class Of AtReaders. -

Snatt, William: Mr. Collier's desertion discuss'd : or the offices of worship in the Liturgy of the Church of England, defended: against the bold attacks of that gentleman, late of her Communion, now of his own. In a letter to a friend. The second edition, with considerable enlargements. T o which is added, A second letter, by way of Appendix, containing some Desiderata. Whosoever follows him that makes a Schism, believe it, he shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. Iguatius ad Philadelph. Mark them that cause Divisions among you, and avoid them, Rom xvi. 17. For such Persons are by the Scripture called Scandals in the Abstract. They are Offenders and Offences too. But if any Man have an Opinion, let him have it to himself, till he can be cured of his Disease by Time and Counsel, and gentle Usage: But if he separate from the Church, or gather a Congregation, he is proud, and is fallen from the Communion of Saints, and the Unity of the Church. Bishop Taylor's Rules and Advices to the Clergy. Holy Scripture contains all things necessary to Salvation. So that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be prov'd thereby, is not to be required of any Man, that it should be believed as an Article of the Faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to Salvation. Artic. 6. That the Book of Common-Prayer contains in it nothing contrary to the Word of God, and that it may be lawfully used, and that he himself will use the Form in the said Book prescribed, in publick Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments, and no other, as an Article unto which every one, at his first Admission into Sacred Orders, does subscribe. For any Minister who is in Orders, to act contrary to the Order of his Ministry; to bring in Forms and Ways of Worship of his own, in Opposition or Contempt of that Church he has derived his Ministerial Office from; is directly to do what Nadab and Abihu did, to offer Strange Fire. And for People to accompany such, to abett and countenance them, is to run the Hazard that People were then in, to have the Wrath of God come upon them. Dr. Littleton's Schism Impleaded. -

Stewart, John: A plan and descripti[on] of Mr. John Stewart'[s] fire engine mill : being a machine to apply the power of fire engines to all kinds of mills that require much force, but is most profitable to grind sugar canes ; as one of them, with a Cylinder of Thirty Inches Diameter, is proved will do as much as four Cattle Mills, that employ from 160 to 200 Steers; and the Trash of the Canes, that works the Fire Engine, boils the great Coppers at the same Time, without any additional Expence, or Consumption of Fuel. And A Plan and Description of the Application of a Fire Engine to work Saws, that will be next most profitable to saw Timber, as the Slabs, or Branches of the Trees sawed, will supply Fuel without Expence, particularly in North America, as they may be set in the most convenient Situation for Timber and Navigation, &c. Also A Plan and Description of a Reservoir, to be made of Earth, that will be as staunch as Cisterns made of Stone and Lime, and grouted, and a Method of collecting Rain Water to supply them, as is practised in the East-Indies, and other Countries subject to long Drought. Likewise, a Plan and Description of a Sliding Rod, that, by the Fire Engine, which grinds the Canes, will work a Pump at a Distance of 400 Yards or upwards, from the Engine, and raise Water, that may be conveyed in Wooden Gutters, set on Posts or Phlars of Stone, to any higher Ground, that may be convenient to let into Cane Pieces to water Canes. Also a Description of Marles, such as used in most Parts in the North of England, to manure Land which the Patentee hath seen of the same Kinds in Parts in Jamaica, but it is not known to be Marle; or the Value of it, or the Uses and Benefits to be had by it. A further Description of the said Machines &c. is given in the Preface. With an Account of the Opposition and Distress the Patentee met in Jamaica, by Means of a Millwright, who imposed on the greater Part of the principle Gentlemen of the Island, by shewing them a Draught of a Counterfeit of the Patentee's Invention, that had two Wheels less and comparing it with a Draught of the Patentee's that was published, to believe it to be more useful, altho' it will herein appear, that it was an imaginary Invention, and that the said, Millwright used every diabolical Means, he could contrive, to depreciate and hinder the Patentee's Invention from coming into Practice. -
