EJMP.774.006
12 Jan 1774:11,12 (1/4)
It has for some time been a matter of astonishment, and
affords us a striking argument of the badness of the times,
and an evidence of the base ingratitude of the people; --
that that precious herb tea, should be banged about in every
newspaper, . . . [15 lines]
The delight of ladies, the admiration of the Beau Monde--and
be hissed of the stage, like a felon, without a single
advocate-- . . . [full column: satirical defense of tea
which]
is a great limberer of the tongue, and affords sweet
feminine music to the stunted ears of many an husband; . . .
[signed] Philo Justiciae.
