AN intimacy of many years standing, and the data of our births not being very far removed, prompts me to select you as the Personage best calculated to patronize this playful ebullition of my Hudibrastic Muse, which is solely intended to act as an wholesome corrective to individuals, whose

b

faculties, diametrically opposite to your own, possess no one requisite necessary for the prosecution of that pursuit which they have most unthinkingly adopted, and for which you justly claim unrivalled pre-eminence; permit me, therefore, to subscribe myself, with every sentiment of respectful regard,

DEAR SIR,

Your most obedient and very

Humble Servant,

Cambridge, Aug. 30, 1813.
