Boston, August 16.  On Saturday last, being the anniversary
of the ever memorable 14th of August, 1765, the Sons of
Liberty from this and the neighbouring towns, convened on
Roxbury Common, to the number of 400, where a superb tent
was erected, sufficiently capacious to contain the numerous
guests, under which they had an elegant repast, and the
following toasts were drank, succeeded by a Fue de Joy from
the cannon, and the soft sympathy of a select band of
musick.
. . . [List of 14 toasts.]
