share OF bone and MUSCLE indeed the only objection
To him, or which can BE- taken to him, is his SIC
being about four feet nine inches high: this If

England permitted this prejudice to influence her, she
could not have had her Cnilders, or her Eclipse her
Rcguus, or her King Fergus, her Diomcd or Barone,
--nor could America have had her Archy her Ariel
her Henry, ar Long Island her Eclipse: these are all
descendants oi the ArabIcn stock; and neither En-.
