the stamp act, there will be a general meting and rejoicing,
at the house of Mr. R. Howard. . . .
The city will be illuminated . . . After which, repairing
to the field of liberty, a royal salute of 21 cannon was
fired, and that succeeded by a considerable body of the sons
of liberty, collecting at their usual house of public
