that idle accomplishment which they all of them aim 'at, of CRYING fo as not to be understood. Whether or no they have learned this from feveral of our affected fingers, I will not take upon me to fay; but ⚫ most certain it is, that people know the wares they ⚫ deal in rather by their tunes than by their words; infomuch that I have fometimes feen a country boy run out to buy apples of a bellows-mender, and gingerbread from a grinder of knives and fciffars. Nay, fo strangely infatuated are fome very eminent artifs of this particular grace in a Cry, that none but their acquaintance are able to guefs at their profeffion; for who else can know, that WORK IF I HAD IT, 'fhould be the fignification of a corn-cutter. 6 Forafmuch therefore as perfons of this rank are feldom men of genius or capacity, I think it would be very proper, that fome man of good fenfe and found judgment fhould prefide over thefe Public CRIES, who fhould permit none to lift up their voices in our streets, that have not tuneable throats, and are not only able to overcome the noife of the croud, and the rattling of coaches, but alfo to vend their refpec⚫tive merchandises in apt phrafes, and in the moft diftinct and agreeable founds. I do therefore humbly recommend myfelf as a perfon rightly qualified for this poft; and if I meet with fitting encouragement, hall communicate fome other projects which I have by me, that may no lefs conduce to the emolument ' of the Public.
