From the Whitehall Evening Post.
Sir, As the circumstance of birth is entirely accidental,
and fortune, in most instances, fixes man's situation in
life, it would be perhaps not an unentertaining amusement to
conjecture what might have been the station of some of the
most distinguished characters, that now move in the highest
orbs of life, if providence, in pity to mankind, had thrown
them into a lower sphere. I am incline to think that
something like the following arrangement would probably have
taken place.
The D-- of G--, A lurcher at a billiard table. . . [12
names]
G---l C---y, kit player to a dancing master. . . [4 names]
L--d H--f--h, a tragedian. . . [3 more names, signed]
Conjecturalis, Smyrna Coffee-House, June 23.
