Father Abraham's Speech to a great number of people, at a
vendue of merchant-goods; introduced to the publick by Poor
Richard, a famous Pennsylvania conjurer, and almanack-maker,
in answer to the following questions, pray, Father Abraham,
what think you of the times ? Won't these heavy taxes quite
ruin the country ? How shall we be ever able to pay them ?
What would you advise us to ? To which are added, seven
curious pieces of writing, viz. I. The welcome guinea: a
poem. 2. Consolation for the homely. 3. A grand
compliment to the ladies. 4. The two sinners, the pope and
the devil: a poetical tale. 5. An infallible cure for
love. 6. An Old Song, wrote by one of our first New-England

description of his country wife Joan, in a song to the tune
of The Hounds Are All Out, &c.
Note. Very good allowance to those who take them by the
hundred or dozen, to sell again.
