From the London Magazine, May 1777. Remarks on the epithet
"Good Fellow.". . . [col.3] It is a notion strangely
prevalent among many, that getting drunk together is the
cement of friendship. . . After this they sally forth like a
troop of bandiiti, perhaps a fidler in the train, most
miserably persecuting, or rather murdering cat-gut, and may
literally to said to act in the character of Orpheus, making
the beasts to dance around him. . . [Signed] C.G.
