giants in Patagonia proposes using their size to advantage.]
We hear that several commissions hath been sent out by the
Dolphin man of war, for the procurement of Patagonian men
and women; among many are the following, we are assured, are

Jonathan T----. Esq: proprietor of Vaux-Hall Gardens,
would be glad of two Patagonian gardners, to clip the trees
in the dark walk, without the expence of frames.
The manager of Covent Garden theatre has bespoke a pair
of Patagonians, to represent the Dukes of Aquitain and
Normandy, at his next exhibition of the coronation. N.B.
Any two fellows will do provided they match well.
