The misguided Society, of whose 
pernicious and anti-social designs we 
have duly apprized our readers, has, at 
length, become the proper object of a 
criminal prosecution, by the indictment 
of a Grand Jury, In the mean time,

is pursuing its inquisitorial practices 
against the press in various parts of 
the country where less caution and less 
public spirit prevail than in London. 
We trust, however, that true-born 
Englishmen will every where be found 
to do their duty in defeating its base 
practices.

fer premiums of one hundred, fifty,and 
twenty-five guineas respectively, for the 
best View of the Age of Homer, the best

ments.
