In the "Salem Gazette" will be found the advertisements of two of the College Lotteries. Rhode Island College is now Brown University.
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
SCHEME.
CLASS FIRST.
