Observing your inclination to bring your paper entertaining
and free, I send you Aristophanes's character of a Sausage-
maker, whom the deluded Athenians had raised to be a Prime
Minister, with Monsieur le Clerc's observations thereon--and
at none but Sausage-makers can take umbrage thereat, please
to insert it in your useful paper, and you will oblige your
reader,
[signed] Sarcasticus.
[follows a description of Aristophanes and his comedy, and
its relation to politics]
