■the patrot. miflilMß* August 21, 1806. mm the Trenton TriU A- MERICAN. ■ Sir William Berkely, when ■overnor of Virginia, in 1671, ■ a letter to the lords of the ■oimfiittee of the colonies, af. I, r itatitig that there Were ■ear fO,OOO perlons in the ■olony ; adds, “ I thank God ■ere are no free f'choois, nor ■rinting, and I hope we (hall ■ot have them these hundred ■ears,; for learning has brot’ ■fabedience and heres., and ■ects into the world, and print, ■nr has divulged them and li ■eh against the government. Kod keep us from both.” | From the conduct of the a* ■illocrats of the present day, In waging war against t e Irefles friendly to liberty’, See. Ire may fairly infer that the ■entiments of Berkley are ftiii ■nertfhe 1 by two many. I (If we could believe in the Inetempfycosis, we could find la body which appears to po!. less a spirit as well as that of ■erkely ; and in a governnatai Ichair too.) Aurora. un Englifk writer gives the I following account of the drtfs I of the ladies during the lajl 1 tentury. I 1700-. All going masked Ito the theatres nothing was lleen. 1727--- —The malfe being [aride--.the face appeared. I 1760 —The peticoats were shortened—and half the leg appeared. 1795 —The handkerchief be ing removed—the bread and neck appeared. 1796-— The fleevea being Ihortened— p -lhe elbow and half the uper joint of the arm appeared. Now fuppoiing the super. fices of the human body to be ten square feet, the nakeu parts will be nearly five feet at this time ; consequently, fliould they persevere in un covering tn an equal ratio, tn about ninety years they will have left upon their bodies lit tle more than a pair of /lock* ings ; this will appear by the rules of proportion. From the above data it is evident, that the ideas of delicacy entertain ed byßritifh ladies is approxi mating in a certain ratio to that of ancient Sparta ; or, pernap>, indeed, to their own ancestors, the Britons . and from these premiles it may be no unwar rantable aflertion, that in nine ty years there will be little smuggling of Flanders lace 01 other (lippery, but their beau tiful {kins may again be dyed with wood, 8c have the fig ures ofthe heavenly bodies cut or tattooned upon them.
