Mr. Parker,

The following Account of the Opening of St. George's Chapel, was sent to the Press, last Saturday a Week, to be inserted, at the Request of many of your Readers in your Gazette; but to their great Surprize, when the Paper came out, on Monday following, they found the Account they had sent, strangely perverted, curtail'd and maimed; you are therefore desired to insert in your next verbatim.

"Last Wednesday (being the Day appointed) was open'ed St. George's Chapel, upon which Occasion, "the Rector, Assistant, Church-Wardens, and Vestry, "of Trinity Church, assembled in the Vestry Room, in "the Charity School House, where they were met by "some of the Town and neighbouring Clergy, and "other Gentlemen of Distinction, from whence they "set out in regular Form and Order, attended by the "Charity Scholars, 40 Boys and 12 Girls, who walk'd "before in Pairs, with their School-Master at the Head "of them; and at the City Hall, were join'd by the Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and Common Council. "After which, they all proceeded to the Chapel, where "Divine Service was perform'd, with the utmost Decency and Propriety. The whole Ceremony concluded "with an excellent Sermon, preach'd by the Rev. Mr. HENRY BARCLAY, Rector of Trinity Church, suitable "to the Occasion from these Words, Lev. xxvi. 2.— "Reverence my Sanctuary: I am the Lord."

(The Printer of this Paper happen'd to be out of

Town all the Time of composing and printing last Week's Gazette; but as the Paragraph came both then, and at this Time without any Name; and the Person left to the Care of his Business, Knowing how fatally the Printer had been mistaken (according to the present Notion of the Connoissiurs of the Liberty of the Press) in Printing Things wrote by Authors incog. he applied to some Gentlemen whom he thought the Printer's Friends, for their Advice upon it; and as both he and they looked on all Articles unsign'd, as to be supposed to come from the Printer they took the Liberty to alter it in such Manner as they thought most grammatical, and to give the least Offence: The Printer begs therefore once more, that those Gentlemen who write Arti cles of any Kind, relating to Church or State, would be pleased to put their Names to them; that so the poor Printer may not bear the blame: He is indeed apprehensive that all considerate Lovers of their Country, will look upon his Resolution, as one small Step towards abridging the long lov'd and dear bought Liberty of Englishmen. And had he now Time, he would make a further Apology for it; but as that is wanting, must defer it for another Opportunity; only he assures them, that if he had been at home, he should not have offer'd to alter the above Article; and believes it was not done with any Design to prejudice it.)The New York Gazette Revived in the Weekly Post Boy July 13. 1752.
