Further commenting upon the press,
DR.. Jobnson's article says:
DO you not want to know how your

there you shall find a piece, perhaps,
under the head of legislative. Are you
fond of miscellany? Look there! What
book can furnish you such a good ac-
count Of murder, robbery, accidents,
marriages, anecdotes and many other
such things? Such good as well as bad
accounts of the Russians, Turks and
