FJ.782.020
20 Feb 1782:32 (44)
A correspondent observes that in the Royal Gazette of the
13th inst. so little respect is paid to the royal speech,
that it is degraded to the foot of the second page,
posterior to advertisements notifying the sale of stables,
cow stalls, hog styes, musical instruments, portable soup,
butter, loaf sugar, &c. &c. --that even a dialogue copied
from a rebel newspaper has preference in point of place--and
that it seems somewhat unaccountable that the King's speech
should be driven out of sight of the Kings arms: but,
continues he, there is so little of the lion in it that, no
doubt the lion is ashamed to see it.
