Pamphlets and Parodies on Political Subjects
Hone, William
Political satire, English
THE MAGNIFICENT PYRAMID, erected by the wisdom, labour, property, and
lives of our forefathers, has been completely REVERSED. Architects, well
enough acquainted with the structure to undertake its RESTORATION, will
be allowed any time they desire for a work of such vast magnitude, but
it must be undertaken immediately, as it is shored up in its present
INVERTED STATE at an immense annual expense, with frail materials.
Testimonials of the greatest respectability for capacity and character,
and security for completion of the task, without further injury to the
ornament at the apex, will be required. Apply to the Board of Control.

CONVULSIONS, &c.
A REAL BLESSING--THE AMERICAN SOOTHING
SYRUP, an infallible Remedy for CONVULSIONS, affording immediate ease
in disorders of the Constitution, and healing multitudes in the most
desponding condition....
Such are the virtues of this healing Balm for assuaging misery and
anguish in the suffering, that innumerable impositions have been
practised. It is, therefore, requisite to notice, that the genuine
article has the word Liberty on the seal.--Prepared, as usual, by the
assigns of Messrs. Franklin, Washington, and Co. from the original
recipe, and may be had genuine in _America-square_.
If ever there was a blessing sent from Heaven for the relief of the
suffering, the American Soothing Syrup claims the pre-eminence. The poor
relieved gratis.
N. B. It has been discovered that the American Soothing Syrup is an
infallible TEST FOR SOVEREIGNS. It in no way blemishes a good one, but
discovers the baseness of a bad one immediately. {244}

SCHOOLS FOR ALL.
USEFUL INSTRUCTION having hitherto been chiefly confined to the
Productive Classes, and many in the Upper Ranks still remaining in a
deplorable state of ignorance, it is intended to establish SCHOOLS FOR
THE HIGHER ORDERS, in order that, by being equally well-informed with
the rest of the community, the plea of ignorance may no longer be
allowed as an excuse for want of knowledge in the duties of life.
Further information may be had of the printer.
