We hear that the week before last was finished, by order and
for the use of the gentlemen belonging to the insurance
office kept by Mr. Nathanile Barber, at the North-End, an
elegant silver bowl, weighing forty-five ounces, and holding
forty-five gills. On one side is engraved with a handsome
border--To the Memory of the glorious ninety-two members of
the honourable House of Representatives of the
Massachusetts-Bay, who undaunted by the insolent menaces of
villains in power, and out of a strict regard of conscience,
and the liberties of the constituents, on the 30th of June
1768, Voted not to rescind.--Over which is the cap of
liberty in an oaken crown. On the other side, is a circle
adorned with flowers, &c. is No. 45. Wilkes and Liberty,
under which is General Warrants torn to pieces. On the top
of the cap of Liberty, and out of each side, is a standard,
on one is Magna Charta, the other Bill of Rights.---On
Monday evening last, the gentlemen belonging to the office
made a genteel entertainment, and invited a number of
gentlemen of distinction in the town, when 45 loyal toasts
were drank, and the whole concluded with a new song, the
chorus of which is, In Freedom we're born, and in Freedom
we'll live, &c.
Tuesday night last the town was very agreeably serenaded
by a band of vocal and instrumental musick--in which
performance, the capital pieces was the celebrated new
liberty song, so justly admir'd thro' all North-America.--
CHORUS. In Freedom we're born, &c.
