[Advertisement in verse for educational books]
Just published, and to be sold by Doctor Isaac Knight,
Plainfield . . . a compend of English Grammar: 
. . .
  While education bears her gentle sway,
  And we her precepts cheerfully obey;
  While ev'ry breast glows with the gen'rous flame,
  And Britons envy our increasing fame;
  In mighty pomp America will rise,
  Her glories spreading to the boundless skies.
  To teach the young idea how to shoot
  To pour to fresh instruction o'er the mind.
