Full Text

Among the many institutions in this city, the Reading Room lately established is not of the least utility. Here the Man of Science may find a small though handsome collection of valuable books to entertain him; the Politician can be amply gratified in perusing the most valuable newspapers of the United States on their first arrival in the city, and obtain the earliest information of every thing that is passing. Where can a winter's evening be more usefully or agreeably spent than in the Reading Room, where a delicious repast is prepared for the amateurs of literature? Strangers also may here spend a half hour or more to advantage, and at a very small expence. From the promising appearance, there is reason to expect that this new institution will be of great utility, and reward the exertions of the Proprietor, who leaves nothing undone to render his Room pleasing and comfortable.
