A Rogue in Grain, June 2, 1759.

To the Editor of the Every-Day Book.

Newark, Notts, May 17, 1826.

Sir,—It appears to me that there have been in “old times,” which we suppose “good times,” rogues in grain. To prove it, I herewith transmit the copy of an advertisement, from the “Cambridge Journal” of 1759. Wishing you an increasing sale to your interesting Every-Day Book, I remain, &c.

Benjamin Johnson.
