Thus, Sir, I made trial of all defcriptions of men, and my inferences are clearly thefe; that good men, great, wife men, &c. according to the world's eftimation, are the moft pitiful and defpicable people in reality, for they affume characters to which they have no right, and form pretenfions to which justice cannot accede. Whereas, thofe who, according to the undifcerning fashion of an undifcerning world are accounted as the drofs of mankind, and very humble fervant. BARNABY BEARALL. Turn-again-lane, Nov. 17, 1783. CONTRAST BETWEEN A MAN OF FASHION AND CITIZEN OF THE WORLD. THE HE Man of Fashion is inftructed how to walk, how to ftand, how to dance, how to ride, how to laugh, how to fmile, how to frown, how to be angry, how to fight, and how to be familiar. He is taught a mode of eating, drinking, gaming, fwearing, and wenching, and, in the combination of all thefe, how to be the fine gentleman. The Citizen of the World takes Nature for his nursery-maid, and does not pretend to walk until he can firft ftand. His polite accomplishments are under the dictates of reafon, and the body, in its functions, never ridicules the just conceptions of the mind. A proper arrangement of each thus unites the real gentleman with the man of fenfe. The Man of Fajion makes the grand tour-nerely to have it faid that he has been abroad. He talks of foreign towns and cities; cuftoms and manners, uninftructed in the theory, and unacquainted with the practice. He fpeaks French and Italian, without knowing the rudiments of his native language, and on all occafiens prefers the maniere et le je-ne-jeai-quoi of Italy or France to the home-fpun hofpitality of England. The Citizen of the World, in unity, peace, and concord with the customs of every clime, and every nation, improves his native abilities by what he difcovers in foreign countries. But, whit he proits by the example, he ftill prefers the downright honesty of a British boor to the tinfel deceit of a foreign puppy. The Man of Fabion enters upon life Jong ere he fhould quit the authority of his preceptor-His youth, in confequence, becomes a fcene of diffipation, and, before he attains the age, he lofes the virility of manhood. Thus, the whole bufinefs of life is fruftrated, and the great end of creation deftroyed. He flides into a drawing-room, when his country demands the nerve of his arm. We find him dallying in imaginary blifs, when the ability of enjoyment is gone for ever! In this fituation he is the conftant attendant of a tea-table, a morning concert, or an evening promenade. His excellence confifts in picking his teeth, pretending to be deaf at an opera, and laughing loud enough to disturb an audience at a tragedy: but the fummit of his glory is, to be thought in poffeffion of what he has not. The Citizen of the World enters upon the bufinefs of life, when The Man of Fashion is quitting the ftage of manhood. His youth, by being carefully watched, becomes the ftamina vitæ of man, and his athletic body proves the foundnefs of his conftitution. He foars to glory, and his heart pants for an opportunity to attain it. If the fupport of his country demands the affiftance of his arm, he raifes it in her defence; or if he is called upon in the fenate, to defend her rights and privileges, his eloquence is manly, and his reafoning incontrovertible. He abhors the fhedding of blood, except when neceffity demands the fword, and the benevolence of his mind feeks for the bleffings of peace, although the vigour of his body enfures the honour of conqueft, L.

QUESTION (VI. July) answered by the Rev. Mr. HELLINS, Teacher of the Mathematics and Philofophy. FIRST, to find the leaft multiple of 59 that exceeds a multiple of 47 by 1: call the multiplier of 47, x, and that of 59, y, and we have 47 * = 59 y−1; where it is evident that when x and y are is a whole number. But 484, and 47 V therefore, x= 599-1 =+ 12y-I whole numbers, are whole numbers, and confequently their difference, 24 is either a whole number or ✔, 47 and fince the conditions of the queftion require that the value of y fhall be the leaft poffible, it is evident that y-40, or y=4; and then x=5, and 236 is the leaft multiple of 59 that exceeds (235). a multiple of 47 by 1. Secondly, to find the leaft multiple of 47 that exceeds a multiple of 59 by 1: Let x, and y, again ftand for the multipliers, and we have 47x=59y+1, from which equation by an argumentation fimilar to that above, we prove that +4 4-7 = 1; and then we get y=43, x=54, and 2538, the multiple required, which exceeds (2537) a multiple of 59, by unity. Another SOLUTION by the Rev. Mr. JOHN GARNONS. For the multiplier of 59, put x, and for the difference of it and that of 47 put y. Then to find the leaft multiple of 59 that exceeds a multiple of 47 by unity, we have 59x=47x+y+1, therefore y; where it is evident that when x 12X-I 4-7 and xy are the leaft poffible whole numbers (as the queftion requires) then 12X-1 is a whole number, equal to 1, and x=4, x+y=5, therefore 236 is 47 the leaft multiple of 59 that exceeds (235) a multiple of 47 by unity. Secondly. To find the leaft multiple of 47 that exceeds a multiple of 59 by unity: we have 59x=47×x+3−1, whence x 43, and y=11, and x+y= 54; therefore, 2538 is the leaft multiple required, which exceeds (2537) a multiple of 59 by unity.

Defcribe the primitive circle AZPR to reprefent the meridian of the place, make ZP equal to the complement of the given latitude, and draw the fix o'clock hour circle PC. With the fecant of 54° 15', the meafure of the time from noon, defcribe the hour circle PS and through Z, defcribe the verti cal circle ZSD to cut PS at right angles: then will PS be the complement of the stars declination. For round Z, as a pole, let the almicanter ASB he defcribed through S; and it is manifeft, as the vertical circle ZSD is perpendicular both to the almicanter ASB and hour circle PS, that the former touches the latter in the point S, confequently a ftar in that part of the hour circle is nearer to the zenith than any other which is in the fame hour circle. Hence, as the tang. of the lat. is to the cofine of the angle ZPS, fo is radius to the tang. of PS the ttars diftance from that pole which is of the fame name with LOND. MAG. Nov. 1783. 3 I the |
