[2 1/2 columns, parliamentary proceedings] Mr. Wilkes
differed from Governour Johnston respecting his condemnation
of the style of the New England Congress's declaration for
independency, declaring he always considered good writing by
its effect, as men judged the merit of a tragedy or a comedy
by the effects introduced; that as it was addressed to the
minds of the people, if it served to allure them it was
certainly well written.
After having created a good deal of laughter, the alderman
returned to serious argument. . . [ two 1/2 columns spanning
2 pp, continuing parliamentary speeches.]
