EG.768.014
23-30 Aug 1768:11 (1/5)
From the English papers. It is with infinite pleasure I see
the various merry conceits of the honest citizens and
traders, as to the Number 45 . . . [paragraph on 45 and
Wilkes]
I therefore do most humbly entreat all those patriotic and
anti-ministerial wags, jokers, funny fellows, and liberty
men all, never more to communicate their jokes and
conundrums on the noble number 45 except the article
concludes thus: "and after the society had eat, drank,
smoked, danced and sung, all to the tune of forty-five,
forty-five guineas were collected, and sent to the banker's
towards extricating Mr. Wilkes from his pecuniary
incumbrances.
