A genuine letter from Aylebury in Buckinghamshire, to a
gentleman in London, dated March 30th, 1768.  "This day
about noon we received the news of Mr. Wilkes's election for
the county of Middlesex, by a great majority.  The
inexpressible joy that appeared among the inhabitants in
general is not to be conceived; the bells were immediately
set a ringing, and continued upwards of twelve hours. . .
