_R. Island College Lottery._

THE Corporation of the College, wishing to discharge in the
best manner the trusts reposed in them for the education of
youth, and finding their funds inadequate to this purpose,
have obtained of the General Assembly of the state of
_Rhode-Island_ and _Providence Plantations_ the grant of a
Lottery. As the sole object of this is the public good, it is
hoped that the exertions of the Corporation will meet the
wishes and secure the co-operation of all the friends of
science and virtue. The College was founded entirely by the
generosity of individuals. Though it has received no
patronage from the legislative body, yet through the
assiduous labours of its officers it has become considerably
distinguished, &, it is hoped, has merited the attention of
the public. It, however, is under great disadvantages for
want of larger pecuniary resources. Of the necessity of these
for the establishment of a complete system of liberal
education, every one must be sensible who entertains a just
conception of the vast extent of science.--Those who are
disposed to promote the Lottery now brought forward, may be
assured that the whole business will be transacted with the
utmost exactitude and fidelity. Of this they cannot doubt,
when they are informed that the management of it is wholly
under the direction of the following respectable Committee,
appointed by the Corporation, viz. JOHN BROWN, Esq. WELCOME
ARNOLD, Esq. Mr. JOHN MASON, Col. WILLIAM RUSSELL, and Mr.
JOHN P. IVES.

The Subscribers, being appointed by the Committee as Managers
of the Lottery, and having given bonds according to law, now
offer to the public the following
