SG(H.782.007
7 Feb 1782:21,22,23 (1/17)
From the Pennsylvania Packet of January 17. . . [1 1/3
column article on wit and joking about events of the war.
Long discussion about an unidentified article [ed: entitled
"The Temple of Cloacina"] in Rivington's Royal Gazette for
January 5, 1782 that everyone was talking about. At end of
article:]
(*** The printer hopes the author will excuse him for not
inserting the extract from the New-York paper alluded to.
It is a parody on a late entertainment called The Temple of
Minerva; but the extreme scurrility and indecency of the
performance render the publication improper any where,
except in the Royal Gazette of New-York.)
