• if I am rightly informed, goes under the name of • Powder-Watt.

· I must not here omit one particular absurdity which runs through this whole vociferous generation, and • which renders their cries very often not only incom

modious, but altogether useless to the public; I mean, • that idle accomplishment which they all of them aim

at, of crying so as not to be understood. Whether or no • they have learned this from several of our affected

singers, I will not take upon me to say, but moft certain it is, that people know the wares they deal in

rather by their tunes than by their words ; insomuch • that I have fometimes seen a country boy run out to • buy apples of a bellows-mender, and gingerbread from

a grinder of knives and scissars. Nay so strangely in• fatuated are fome very eminent artists of this particular

grace in a cry, that none but their acquaintance are • able to guess at their profession; for who else can know,

that work if I had it," should be the fignification of a corn-cutter?

• Forasmuch therefore as persons of this rank are sel• dom men of genius or capacity, 1 think it would be

very proper, that some man of good sense and sound • judgment should preside over these public cries, who • Thould permit none to lift up their voices in our streets,

that have not tunable throats, and are not only able

to overcome the noise of the croud, and the rattling of • coaches, but also to vend their respective merchandises

in apt phrases, and in the most distinct and agreeable • sounds. I do therefore humbly recommend myself as • a person rightly qualified for this poft ; and if I meet ' with fitting encouragement, shall communicate some • other projects which I have by me, that may no less • conduce to the emolument of the public.

· I am, Sir, &c.
