Our paper being small we could not insert their Excellencies
the British commissioners manifesto at large.--The following
parody is intended to fill its place.
In mercy spare us when we do our best
To make as much waste paper as the rest.
[signed] Juvenal.
To public bodies and to all
That colonies we late did call;
Eden, Sir Harry and my Lord!
(All men of mighty power in word)
Do write unto the world at large,
This long last speech and dying charge!
. . . [2 columns, signed] Aristophanes.
