157. ADVERTISEMENTS, Principle and.—

I think it might be well to advertise my
lands at Elkhill for sale, and therefore enclose
you the form of an advertisement, in which,
you will observe, I have omitted the name
of the proprietor, which, as long as I am in
public, I would wish to keep out of view in
everything of a private nature.—
To Nicholas Lewis. Ford ed., v, 281.
(Pa., 1791)
