[The following account of the celebration of FOX’S Birth-day, printed in the _Anti-Jacobin_, has not hitherto appeared in the editions of the _Poetry_. _The Song by Mr. Fox_ refers to the Subscription raised, after a meeting at the Crown and Anchor, in the summer of 1793, for relieving him in his then present need, and purchasing an Annuity for him. A Caricature by GILLRAY on this meeting was published on the 12th June, 1793. MR. FOX’S BIRTH-DAY. The public, distracted with the various accounts of the celebration of Mr. Fox’s Birth-day, naturally turn to us for an authentic detail of that important event—from a recollection of the correct and impartial statement we gave in a former Number, of what passed at a MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF FREEDOM [page 32]. To justify their confidence, we have had recourse to the _Morning Post_ and _Morning Chronicle_ (the _Courier_ being too stupid for our purpose), whose statements we have carefully read, and corrected from the information of several gentlemen who were present. We are thus enabled to lay before our readers a genuine narrative of the whole proceeding, which we defy the tongue of Slander to controvert in any material point. As Mr. Fox’s reputation had been for some time on the decline, it was thought necessary by the party (who are in great want of a _Head_) to make as respectable an appearance as possible on the present occasion. It was therefore suggested (at a previous meeting of confidential friends) that if the unfortunate shyness which subsisted between the _Whig Club_ and the _Corresponding Society_ could be opportunely removed by a few unimportant concessions on the part of the former, such a number of citizens might be readily procured from that respectable body as would serve to give the day an _éclat_ it had not experienced since the fatal schism of 1792.
