A Modern Epic POEM, in Four CANTOS
By JOHN TRUMBULL, Esq;
This work is chiefly of the humorous and fatyrical kind,
on the fubjed of the present revolution. The twj firft
cantos were printed a few years fi ,ce at Philadelphia, and
gained universal applause. It was re-printed in London,
,nd in a short time passed thru' several large edition- and
extorted great praise, even from the &bj< &s of its fatyre and
humour. This ingenious work has lately been fold for the
extravagant price of Half a Dollar, but will now be afford
ed for one third less, well printed andon good paper.
We have on hand a few more copies than are fubferibed
for—thofe who have not had an opportunity of fubferibing
may have them, by applying at the above places.

Vv Major Uriel Holmes, whilst he was a Sek&maff
of the town, had Rolen a quantity of baize cloth, the pro
perty of the town, and converted it to his own use ; and
said report hath, in the judgment of a refpe&able arbitral
tion, been legally proved to have originated from me;
Although! am not confeious of making such report, yet I
freely fay I have no reason to believe there is any just foun
dation for it ,• and whatsoever I may have said at any time
to the contrary, I do now retrad it, and desire that the
