Seminaries of Learning having always been highly re- garded in every polite and free Nation; and the College of New-Jersey, (without pretending to any Superiority above other Institutions of the like Kind) has been so well approved of, as tending to advance Religion and useful Learning, that it has been a favourite Object of public Charity both in Great-Britain and America, from its first Foundation: But notwithstanding the generous Donations made to this laudable Undertaking, the great and necessary Expence that have accrued, render the present State of the Fund all together inadequate to the Execution of the original and extensive Designs of the Trustees. In order therefore, to enable them to carry on the useful and important Purposes they have in View; (and having at present no other Resource:) The follow- ing Scheme of a Lottery is presented to the Public, and

"Last Evening the Reverend MR. SAMUEL FINLEY, lately elected President of the College of New-Jersey, with his Family came to this Town, from his Parish in Pennsylvania. He was met by several of the Inhabitants of this Village, and by the College Officers, a few Miles out of Town, and by them conducted to the President's House, which was prepared for his Reception. From thence, in his Habit of Office, he was attended by the Tutors, and the other Officers, to the College, and in- troduced into the Great Hall; where the Scholars re- ceived him with the greatest Respect. He then ascended the Desk, and, after Prayers, made a polite and judicious Speech to the Students, and the other Part of the Audi- ence, convened on that Occasion. From the Character which this Gentleman hath long since acquired for Piety, Learning and Affability, and from that Series of Evi- dence, added to the universal Pleasure with which he was received, at this Seat of the MUSES; there is the greatest Reason to believe, that the Clouds which have hung over this Seminary of Learning since the Death of its late worthy President, will be happily dispelled."
