Conviction to those who are capable of conviction, that it is in the true interest of the city of Edinburgh, that Mr F-r be chosen to represent the community in the ensuing Parliament; and, that the thanks of the community ought to be given, in the most public manner, to the peer who recommended him. To which is annexed, a burial-letter, with a postscript suited to the present case.
Edinburgh : printed in the year,
