POLITZC^L /rNECDOTE.
WHOEVER feral the late ad
dresses of the King of the French
to the National Assembly, will be afto
nilhed at the difference of their style,
from that of his Predeceflor Louis
XlV.—and may. perhaps, thereby,
form a better idea of the extent of
the Revolution in France, than by
any thing yet presented to the public.
In 1655; Louis XIV. after his firft
campaign, and consecration, when
the Parliament met on account of some
edicts, went from Vincennes in ahunt
ing drefs,attended by his whole court,
and entering the Parliament cham
ber, in jack boots, and his whip in
his hand, made use of the words :
" The mifcbiejs your assemblies produce
are well know*': I command you to
break up tbofe,u have begun übon my
edi&. Mr. Prefi@, Ijorbid you to
permit thoje Aflemblies, and any of you
% demand tbem? The Hiftonan
adds, " The King's speech was not
very good, but his eyes fppke more
sensibly than his mouth." The
Parliamentimmafatelv d^^
But mum ! ,
It play'd as well of miracles tie trick,
Although a minted piece of flick!
For fix sous more, behold ! to view was bolted
A feather of the Angel Gabriel's wing,
Whether 'twas pluck'd by force, or calmly molted,
No holy legends tell, nor poets sing.
But was it Gabriel's feather, heav'nly Muses?
It was not Gabriel's feather but a Goofc's !
But day ! from truth we would not with to wander,
For possibly the owner was a Gaunder.
Painters ! you take rae right ;--The mafe supposes
You make your coredc-maitre daffies,
Chrften them eyes, and cheeks and lips and noses,
Beards, chins, and withers, and eye lathes ;
As like, perhaps, a horje is like a plumb,
Or'forfaid stick, St. Tom th' Apostle's thumb.
With purer eyes the British vulgar fees ;
We are no prawthtempers, no Devotees ;
So that whene'er your fingers are mere wood.
Our eyes will never think 'emflejb and blood.

TN France, some years ago, some twenty-three.
At a fam'd Church, where hundreds daily jostle,
I wifely paid a priest fix sous to fee
The thumb of Thomas the Apostle.
Gaping upon Tom's thumb with me in wonder,
The rabble rais'd its eyes-—like ducks in thunder
Because in virtues it was vastly rich,
Had cur'd poffefs'd of devils and the itch ;
Work'd various wonders On a scabby pate——
Made little fucking children straight,
Tho' croock'd like rams horns by the rickets ;
Made people fee though blind as moles,
And made your fad, hysteric fouls,
As gay as grasshoppers and crickets :
Brought noses back again to faces,
Long ftol'n by Penne and her Graces;
And eyes to fill their parent sockets,
Os which fad love had pick'd their pockets ;
And had the priest permitted, with their kisses,
The mob bad fmatk'd the holy thumb to pieces.
Tho' Reader 'twere not the Apotfle's thumb,

"He begs all such as have been difeouraged from
fubferibing from an idea that the work would be
high priced, to make themselves acquainted with
the various files arid prices of Bibles, and they
will soon perceive their mistake. He is confident
that when the real size erf his Edition is known,
that every objection as to the price wilt be re
moved, and tfc.it will adual/y be found to be
cheaper than any English Edition of its size and
quality now felling on this Continent—he pledges
himfelf that it (hall be so.
. In full assurance, when fads are known, that he
shall be encouraged, he is now proceeding with
the work He requests that the Reverend Clergy
would examine into the truth of his assertions, and
undeceive such as have formed a wrong opinion as
to the size, quality and price : He withes for a
continuance of their exertions, now the work is in

now committed to the Press, and will be carried on
with all the dispatch that the nature of the work
will permit. .
The many discouragements he has met with in
getting forward with this large, expensive and
important undertakings he finds have principally
arisen from people in general being unacquaint

many suppose that there is no difference in the size
and quality of Quarto Bibles ; whereas there are
Quarto Bibles of many sizes and qualities, as well
as Duodecimos, Odavos and Folios. ,The Edition
he proposed to print, and is now printing, is of,
the largest kind of Quartos, and of the firft quality;
and the British Editions are commonly fold in this
