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 signification of a corn cutter?

Forasmuch therefore as persons of this rank are ' seldom men of genius or capacity, I think it would ' be very proper, that some man of good sense and ' sound judgment should preside over these public ' cries, who should 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 ' crowd, 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 there' fore humbly recommend myself as a person rightly ' qualified for this post; 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.
