An account of a Journey to Paris, in a letter from a
Country Squire to his Papa. . . [1 column, including
references to traveling companions:] . . . the second was a
rope-dancer; and the third taught dogs to set, and the like;
but surely they were the most complaisant gentlemen, that
ever were born or christened. . . a sufficient number of
very polite gentlemen, that lodged in the same house, that
is to say, two journey-men taylors, (natives of Ireland, )
two Itallian fidlers, and the chief toad-eater to a very
noted mountebank. . . I don't go to a play, because they say
sad naughty women are there: and I have been at court but
once, and I will insure you, that I will never go twice; for
I think in my heart, that it is as fine a sight, to see our
quarter sessions, . . .
