. Annals of King's Chapel from the Puritan age of New England to the present day. by the said Paul Revere & son to be merchantable, strong,sound, & free from all latent defects.

Left in the lurch, The priest survives, Must surely fall; With mind the same, For church and people Revere refounds, And bell and steeple The bell resounds, Are crazy all. And all is well again. The late Mr. Joseph W. Revere kindly furnished for thesepages a copy of the following anonymous letter: — Boston, Oct. 28, 1816. Sir, — Since the arrival of the New Bell at the Old South, much hasbeen said respecting the one you cast for the Stone Chapel. — I assureyou as a friend and for the future credit of your Foundery, that it ishighly necessary you should do something to harmonize the sound &. JAM II 3 FF^. EI,1AN CLARKE CELEBRATION OF THE PEACE OF 1815. 623 give it greater power of vibration, if ever you wish to have your name cele-brated as a Bell Founder. I am a friend to all American Manufactures,& strongly advocated in your behalf that you should have the recastingof the Bell — but I am sorry to say, I am much disappointed in my ex-pectations, & I beg you to consider that this Hint is from a friend, whoardently wishes you success, & I hope all expense on your part will notcome in contact with your future interest & celebrity—. I do not speakmy own sentiments only, on this evidence only I should not have pre-sumed to have addressed you, but I speak the sentiments of hundreds, &have delayed until the present moment, hoping some arrangement wouldhave taken place between you & the Church, but as nothing has beendone, I hope your own pride will be roused to pay due attention to thissincere, but friendly Hint.
