On Friday last the 18th instant, being the anniversary of
the repeal of the Stamp-Act, a numerous company of the
principal merchants and other respectable inhabitants of
this city, friends to constitutional liberty and trade,
assembled at Mr. Jones's and Mr. Bardin's Taverns, which are
nearly adjoining, where union flags were displayed and
elegant entertainments provided. . . [Dining and toasts
described in 30 more lines] A band of musick was provided,
and in the evening some curious fireworks played off for the
entertainment of the company. Every thing was conducted
with proper decorum, ease and good humour, and the evening
was spent in harmony, cheerfulness, and a pleasing flow of
social affections.
