Subject to a Deduction of 12 and an half _per Cent._

This Lottery was granted by the honorable General Assembly
for the encouragement of a Manufactory of Woolen, Worsted,
and Cotton, in this State, under the superintendance of
William M'Intosh, (late of London) a Gentleman of Information
and Experience in the construction and use of the new
invented Machines for that Purpose, a Number of which being
completed he hath now in use.

The Managers flatter themselves that all Persons will become
Adventurers in this Lottery, who consider the importance of
the Object for which it was granted, as they will thereby aid
one of the most valuable Manufactories attempted in this
State, since the era of Independence.
