Imperial Privileged National Gazette

The Newspaper for Country Preachers and Schoolteachers, which has been appearing through my publishing house since the beginning of 1793, will continue without interruption in the coming year. Specifically, from the new writings appearing from time to time, the following will be partly announced and reviewed in detail in this newspaper: 1) Important scholarly theological works, which a preacher must not remain ignorant of; 2) Writings that provide guidance for the proper conduct of his office or contain useful materials for the sermons he must deliver; 3) Educational writings, especially those useful for instructing youth in lower schools; 4) Popular philosophical writings; and 5) Useful writings that serve to reduce and eradicate superstition among the people; finally, 6) News of useful institutions, as well as promotions and deaths of deserving men among preachers and schoolteachers, will also be shared in these pages. Furthermore, the authors will strive to make this newspaper interesting and useful—primarily for preachers and then also for the educated portion of teachers in town and country schools—through a purposeful selection of writings to be reviewed, through the communication of important ideas from them, and through their own remarks. It appears weekly as a half-sheet in large octavo A book size where the printed sheet is folded three times to create eight leaves., occasionally with a supplement, and at the end of the year, an index, along with a main title page and the portrait of a deserving theologian.

The price for the entire year is 1 Reichsthaler 8 Groschen in Saxon currency, or 2 Florins 24 Kreuzer in Rhenish currency The Holy Roman Empire used various regional currencies; the Reichsthaler was a standard silver coin, while Florins (Gulden) and Kreuzer were common in southern and western German lands., for which it can be obtained weekly from most foreign post offices and newspaper agencies that are not too distant from here.

Announcement.

Following the publication of my Economic-Practical Art of Hydraulic Engineering, many enthusiasts of this science and several of my friends for whom I have worked expressed the wish that I might also provide instruction on the discovery and collection of springs, the irrigation of

meadows, the use of water, the rotation of mill wheels, and other such matters: since they trust me with the necessary insight and experience, having been occupied with such things for thirty years. Since every upright citizen is bound to benefit his fellow citizens with his powers in every way, it is also my duty to satisfy their wish, for the benefit of the state, in this matter as well. I have therefore decided to complete that work with a second part. It will appear under the title:

In it, I will treat the following subjects: Chapter 1: On the origin and discovery of perennial springs, and how their water is to be channeled in pipes and maintained. Chapter 2: On the tapping, discovery, digging, and collection of springs for draw-wells, pump-wells, and sweep-wells A sweep-well, or Galgebrunnen, uses a long, pivoted pole with a weight to lift water buckets., and how the water is to be tested and improved. Chapter 3: How in regions that have no spring or flowing water at all, rainwater is to be collected, brought into draw-wells or cisterns, maintained for use therein, and how these are to be secured. Chapter 4: What rights Refers to "water rights" or legal regulations regarding water usage and property. are to be observed regarding wells. Chapter 5: How meadows are to be moistened by irrigation in dry years and how they are to be prepared for it. Chapter 6: How the irrigation of meadows is to be organized. Chapter 7: Which rights one must observe during irrigation. Chapter 8: How the waterbed and millrace are to be arranged so that the water performs its proper service. Chapter 9: What arrangement is to be given to the moving machinery of mills so that it performs as much as is required of it. Chapter 10: How the customer original: Mahlgast—the person bringing grain to the mill to be ground. is deprived of his flour through the common arrangement of mills; how mills are to be arranged so that he receives his proper flour from his grain; and how necessary it is to introduce a mill scale at every mill. Chapter 11: What rights the miller and the customer have toward one another. Chapter 12: Practical installations, a supplement on fascine construction Bundles of sticks used to reinforce riverbanks or paths. and regulation of the riverbed. Chapter 13: Practical improvement of meadows. Chapter 14: Proposals regarding boundary disputes, how every owner can maintain the area belonging to him without money-consuming lawsuits; which have already been put into effect in some foreign regions. The treatise of these materials will amount to 18 sheets, and for clarity, 12 copperplates Engraved illustrations printed from copper plates....
