nd whose sons proclaim themselves to be farther advanced in knowledge and enlightening principles than any other race on the surface of the earth—in one of the counties, moreover, where the refinement of intellect is supposed to prevail to a degree of brilliancy certainly not excelled in other parts of the kingdom,—there—in the neighbourhood of the cathedral city of Canterbury—did a madman, at no very remote date, assemble a host of enthusiastic believers in his horrible assumption of the name and attributes of the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD! Yes—in the vicinity of a town presumed to possess all the benefit which the knowledge and learning of innumerable clergymen can possibly impart, did Mad Tom successfully personate the Messiah for several days! But, oh! how sad—how mournful is it to contemplate the course which the Government of England is taking at the instant while we are penning these lines! A General Fast, to propitiate the Almighty, and to induce Him to avert his wrath from Ireland! RY IN A LAND WHOSE SONS PROCLAIMED THEMSELVES TO BE FARTHER ADVANCED IN KNOWLEDGE AND ENLIGHTENMENT PRINCIPLES THAN ANY OTHER RACE ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH IN ONE OF THE COUNTRIES MOREOVER WHERE THE REFINEMENT OF INTELLECT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVAIL TO A DEGREE OF BRILLIANCY CERTAINLY NOT EXCELLED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE KINGDOM THERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE CATHEDRAL CITY OF CANTERBURY DID A MADMAN AT NO VERY REMOTE DATE ASSEMBLE A HOST OF ENTHUSIASTIC BELIEVERS IN HIS HORRIBLE ASSUMPTION OF THE NAME AND ATTRIBUTES OF THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLDS YES IN THIS VICINITY OF A TOWN PRESUME TO POSSESS ALL THE BENEFIT WHICH THE KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING OF INNUMERABLE CLERGYMEN CAN POSSIBLY IMPART DID MAD TOM SUCCESSFULLY PERSONATE THE MESSIAH FOR SEVERAL DAYS BUT AH HOW SAD HOW MOURNFUL IS IT TO CONTEMPLATE THE COURSE WHICH THE GOVERNMENT OF ENGLAND IS TAKING AT THE INSTANT WHILE WE ARE PENNING THESE LINES A GENERAL FAST TO PROPITIATE THE ALMIGHTY AND TO INDUCE HIM TO AVERT HIS WRATH FROM IRELAND
