The emigrant of 1748 left a valuable estate, and his many sons were uniformly prosperous. Nor was their affluence the reward of energy and thrift alone, for the lands reclaimed by axe and plough were held by a charter of sword and musket. The redskin fought hard for his ancestral domains.
Grevenkop, who will frequently write you whatever passes here, in the German language and character; which will improve you in both. Adieu. LONDON, January 15, O. S. 1748. DEAR BOY: I willingly accept the new-year's gift which you promise me for next year; and the more valuable you make it, the more thankful I shall be.
In 1682 and in 1705 acts were again passed declaring "that all servants," &c., imported, should be slaves. And it was not until 1748, after slavery had existed an hundred and twenty-eight years, that this description was changed for the following: "That all persons, who have been or shall be imported into this colony," &c., &c., shall be slaves.
Stopes's papers, there is record of a meeting on December 20, 1748, at which mention was made of "the materials" which Hall was to use for repairs. In the same way I do not expect any artist or engraver to take the engraving of the monument in Rowe's Shakespeare , and that by Grignion so late as 1786, for anything but copies of the design in Dugdale, with modifications made a plaisir.
As all the accounts which I receive of you grow better and better, so I grow more and more affectionately, Yours. LONDON, September 5, O. S. 1748. DEAR BOY: I have received yours, with the inclosed German letter to Mr. Gravenkop, which he assures me is extremely well written, considering the little time that you have applied yourself to that language.

In the year 1748, Governor Belcher, of New-Jersey, by and with the approbation of his Majesty's Council, granted a charter to the college of New-Jersey, subsequently known as Nassau Hall. This college was opened in Newark, the students living in private families. The Rev. Aaron Burr was appointed the first president.
Then came that confusion worse confounded called the war of the Austrian Succession, with its Mollwitz, its Dettingen, its Fontenoy, and its Scotch episode of Culloden. The peace of Aix-la-Chapelle closed the strife in 1748. Europe had time to breathe; but the germs of discord remained alive. The American Combatants
To stablish the congregations, Muhlenberg, with five pastors and ten congregations, on August 26, 1748, organized the Pennsylvania Synod, then generally called "The United Congregations" or "The United Pastors." This event has been designated by Dr. Graebner "the most important in the history of the American Lutheran Church of the eighteenth century."
Which occasioned great rumor in the world; and at Paris, to Voltaire's horror, reports of his death. Waiting when this European War will end; politely deaf to the offers of Britannic Majesty as to taking the least personal share in it. The preparations for Campaign 1748 were on a larger scale than ever.
