"N.B.--Though dated Nov. 26, the preceding precious farrago,
with characteristic piety, was sent on Sunday, the 7th of
December, no doubt with a charitable hope that it would make
the Vicar's mind, on that day, very composed and comfortable.
Its authors will be sorry to know that the effect they hoped
for was not produced. The delectable performance did not excite
a single thought till the next morning, when the following
notice was taken of it, certainly more than it deserves."[28]
