Fitch intends to answer the pamphlet, it is therefore necessary to republish as much of it as lospects Mr. Fitch, which is done with no other variation, from the original, than to correct a few of the omissions and mistakes that were introduced into the first publication, from the hurry m which it was done, (as the author at that time could not attend the press) arid was circulated with an Apology annexed to the postscript, for the imperfection of the impression; of these Corrections, perhaps, Mr. Fitch may take some notice, if he should, such part of the old pamphlet shall bo reprinteil (verbatim) to convince the Public that the subject has not been varied; but a little better explained. The sophistry in Mr. Fitch's reply (should it contain what he informs me it does) is evidently Calculated to make impressions unlavorable of me, on the Public Mind, and to wound the reputation of several respectable characters, I must therefore beg the Public's indulgence, to EUFpeud their opinion for a few weeks, when I shall have it in my pow€;r to lay befSre them such an additional statement of facts, supported by such nspectable testimony, as will inc(nitestilily prove the unjustifiable Steps i\Ir. Fitch has taken, to deprive the author of his discoveries, and to injure the reputation of sundry gentlemen.

No. 19 is added to this publication, it is part of a letter wrote by the F.ditor to his Excellency General Washington, dated the tenth of March 1785 which will shew that the Editor had fixed on a method of applying st'-am to propel a boat, before Mr. Fitch knew (from his own account of the matter) that steam had ever been made use of for any purpose whatever ; how then is it possible he sbouhl have the prior right to this discovery 1 if it is asked who made the most promising experiment? it would be found that ray experiments two years since exceed the best he has ever made; must I then be deprived of my discoveries which are substantial, because 1 endeavoured to keep them secret until perfected? justice vill never suffer it.
