thought proper to Institute against him for singing songs which

standing the copyright having been sold both in England and
America! Mr. Smith begs,• therefore, •respectfully to solicit the
patronage of his friends and the public, the better to enable him suc-
cessfully to meet Mr. Russell in a.Court of Justice, and thereby put
down this attempt at monopoly. .
