| Evidence: | 'In the even read to Tho. Davy an appeal to the public in behalf of Admiral Byng ...I also read Bally's poem on the wisdom of the Supreme Being, which I think is a very sublime piece of poetry and almost too much so for my mean capacity. But as I find the author's views are good, I do, as I am bound in duty, like it very much.' |
