[The fcfclehrity of Di\*Puc:n\n’s Domestic
SisuicOK, as w ell as its universally acknow

useless. The first Charleston edition however,
has seveial advantages; a little before tin
death of the doctor, (iBC6) he revised it, am
besides considerable amendments, he added
several into cMii >g new subjects or heads—and
as the Yaccu'iuh n or Cow-Pox has become an
important bianch in the medical art, this edi
tion contains the best informutionun that head.
Besides the chapter on the Kme l‘ox, there is
also, the Anatomy of the Human Body ; a gen

Aliment ; a chapter on the Yellow Fever ; ol
the Tetanus or the Locked Jaw, &c. See. The
Advice To Mothers, is a late production ot
this celeb ated physician, l'he Philadelphia
i,Horary Magazine, in noticing this work, says,
Hus nerlormance is one of the most useful
and agreeable that could have been transmit
ted to our soil. The author is an old man, but
he writes in un intertaining and persuasive,
and even in an elegant manner. The work is
entirely free from technical obscurity, or sci
entific method. It is written to instruct, and
f'u- that purpose endeavors to engage the atten

bis care.”

THE LIFE OF
Major-Gen. James Jackson
BY THOMAS U. F. CHARLTON,
A citizen of Savannah
With considerable labor and difficulty I have
collected materials which will enable* me to
complete, in a few weeks, the litc of major-ge
neral James Jackson.
Ihe character of this late distinguished r”
tizen, was always held in high estimation bv
the republican interest of the United States ;
and even his .enemies (if all enmity is not now
buried in the grave) must acknowledge, that he
was a brave soldier, an incorruptible states
man, and an honest man.
The memoirs I am preparing for publica
tion will be tlie thus divided—
-Ist Period —Will detail the revolutipnarv
services of general Jackson, and, collaterally,
tlie oer\ ices of many patriotic Georgians, from
1776, to the evacuation of Savannah, in 1732.
2d Period —Will detail his political and ci -
vil pursuits, from 1782 to 1800. This division
of the memoirs will contain a history of the
Yazoo Speculation in the state of Georgia,
from the commencement of the fraud to its sub
version. in 1796 ; and will also embrace the
proceedings of the house of representative*
and the senate of the state of Georgia, and of
the house of representatives of tlie congress of
the United States, in the year 17PJ, on the
celebrated contested election of general .Antho
ny Wjiyne.
This work will be printed on an octavo page;
;tn>l will probably contain 350 or 40C pages.
The price to subscribers, (as die exjien*o4
of publication are at present estimated) will
be 32 60—ONE dollar of which must be paid
at the time of subscribing.
As soon as 1000 subscribers shall have made
this advance, the money and the manuscript,
will be delivered to the publisher.

The difficulty of procuring good str-d acen

pre-eminence over all ethers in Europe and

that a single copy cannot be urocured in the th
