From the Westminster Journal, October 18, 1755.
To Thomas Touchit, Esq;
Good unexpected, evil unforeseen,
Appear by turns, as fortune shifts the scene;
Some rais'd aloft, come tumbling down amain;
Then fall so hard, they bound, and rise again. Dryden.
. . . [essay on current world unrest. At top of third
column:] Then comes forth the trumpet of the Balance-
Master-General, and in a most extraordinary manner, sounds a
charge to all the world; and declares with an echo, that is
to be heard every where, he is determined to keep the
equilibrium in his own possession. . .
