[Boston, August 16.] On Saturday last, being the
anniversary of the memorable 14th of August, 1765, when the
primitive free and independent spirit of uncorrupted British
subjects in America made a second successful effort against
tyranny and oppression, the Sons of Liberty, with their
fathers and friends, from this and the neighboring towns,
convened at Roxbury Common, to the number of 400 gentlemen.
. . During the entertainment, a select band of music
patrolled the tent, and gladdened the hearts of the patriots
with the celebrated Song of the Farmer. . . after an elegant
repast. . . succeeded by. . . the soft sympathy of collected
music.
