POLITENESS.
MR. EDITOR—I feel for the City of Landon,
which, out of twelve Wards, front Portsokea
to
Candlewick, and from Fart-illation Without t°
Bassishaw, and out of one Lord Mayor, three.
and-twenty Aldermen, besides Mace-hearer'
Sword-bearer, running Fontmei, goights
half Knights in armour, and a Remembrancer to
boot, could so far forget the laws of politeness
ei

speech,

Then also, es SHAKSPEARE tells us all men 113ie
