The subscriber finding it impracticable to accommodate
himself with a store in Hartford, has removed his stationary
effects into Col. Belden's store in Wethersfield, where he
carried on the bookbinding business, &c. And has for sale,
Ainsworth's Latin dictionary, a valuable collection of
Edwards's sermons, lately printed, Lowth's and Gaugh's
English grammar, Law's Collection of Psalmody, Dilwoth's
spelling books, and primers superior to any before printed
in America, testaments, &c. Also, groceries, spices, combs,
fine thread, needles, paper and pound pins, ribbons, gauzes,
&c. He has now in the press, an accurate edition of Dr.
Watt's psalms and hymns, which will be ready for binding in
about four or five weeks, and will be neatly bound together
or separate as customers shall chuse. Booksellers and
others, may be supplied by him on the best terms, as he
proposes to work and sell as cheap as any stationer in
Boston; and the smallest favors will be suitably
acknowledged, by the public's very humble servant, [signed]
Abel Morse.
N.B. As several of the clergy has expressed their desire,
of introducing Dr. Watts's hymns with the psalms into their
churches (they being admirably adapted to the Christian
religion and worship) and have proposed getting subscription
papers for that purpose may be had of the Rev. Mr. Strong,
at Hartford, at the general election.
Said Morse has a few 100 weight of flax, which he will sell
cheap for hard money; also will barter for wheat or butter.
