OF THE SAME.
By JONAS HANWAY, Esq.
“In short, these poor children who are employed in sweeping our chimnies, are not treated half so well as so many black Pigs—nor, indeed, a hundredth part so well, where the latter have the good fortune to belong to a benevolent master, such as Sir Joseph MAWBEY—a man who, notwithstanding he is a bright Magistrate, a diligent Voter in Parliament, and a chaste husband, is nevertheless author of not a few fancies in the poetical way.”
Thoughts on our savage Treatment of Chimney-sweepers.

Testimonies in Favour of Sir CECIL WRAY, Bart.
DR. STRATFORD[1].
ALCANDER, thou’rt a God, more than a God!
Thou’rt pride of all the Gods—thou mount’st by woes—
Hell squeaks, Eurus and Auster shake the skies—
Yet shall thy barge dance through the hissing wave,
And on the foaming billows float to heaven!
Epistle to Sir Cecil Wray, under the
Character of Alcander.
