On Plaister of Paris. 129 



So far as our society, and the individuals who com- 

 pose it, are concerned in the subject, they have no 

 cause to complain. On the contrary, they have been 

 honoured and gratified, by attentions from highly re- 

 spectable individuals, and societies ; both at home, and 

 in foreign countries. They are, and should be, sincerely 

 thankful for these attentions ; and rejoice that they are 

 made the instruments (in whatever degree their capa- 

 cities are competent and useful) of promoting the true 

 and solid interests of their country.
