Some remarks in reference to supplying Bibles in the eastern part of
Massachusetts by means of a lottery.
MR. RUSSELL,
A FRIEND to religion, and one who wishes the memorial of a
certain respectable society may have a happy effect, but a
zealous enemy to lotteries, asked a member of an important
body, the other day, whether he thought the General Court
would grant a Lottery for the purpose of supplying every
person in the eastern part of the Commonwealth with a bible,
who is unable to purchase one, and for the pay of a
missionary.--Let not the serious reader frown, as that member
did; for if there is nothing contained in that sacred book
which can be thought opposed to this method of gambling,
neither the one nor the other can give a substantial reason
why, in the present rage for lotteries, the people should not
be indulged in raising money in the way most agreeable to
their humour.
PERSOLUS.

passengers, viz. King George III, _Bonaparte,_ Washington,
_Jefferson,_ Hamilton, _Burr,_ Hillhouse, _Madison,_

George III. was taken in such bad company as is a sufficient
proof that he is _crazy._ Napoleon undoubtedly rejoiced when
he beheld the faithful execution in our waters, of his
continental system. Washington and Hamilton were glad that
they were in their graves, before their country had been
plunged so deeply in dis
