[Footnote 352: 'This is to satisfie all People that have been inform'd that the High German Tall Man, had kill'd a Man, and was to be hang'd; that it is all false, and has been given out by other Show Keepers, on purpose to take away his Credit and Good Name.'--The _Post Boy_, April 12/14, 1709.] Germany, however, was not to have the monopoly of supplying us with giants--that, our patriotism could not stand--so a real live British giant was produced, warranted genuine. The only fault about him is that he does not state his height, so that we have no means of comparing him with the foreign importations. 'This is to give Notice to all Gentlemen, Ladys and Others, that there is now to be seen in this Place, a Tall BRITAIN, Born on a _Mountain_ near _Llanriost_; from the _Age_ of 16 Years he has Travelled abroad, and has been shown before all the Foreign Kings and Princes in Christendom; and is now lately come into _England_, and had the Honour to have been shown before Her Present _Majesty_ of _Great Brittain_ and her Royal Consort the _Prince to the Great Satisfaction of all_ Spectators that have seen him, he being the _Tallest Man_ that ever was show'd in this Kingdom.' 'There is lately brought to this place from America a Savage; being a Cannibal Indian or Man Eater who was taken in a Skirmish near South Carolina, between the Natives of that Place and some of the Wild Savage men. Likewise an Indian Woman, a Princess of that Country.' Divers freaks of humanity were shown, but it requires some credulity to take in the following: 'At the Herculus Pillars at _Charing Cross_, is to be seen a Girl that was found on a Mountain, in the west of _England_; When an Eminent Gentlewoman observing her to be without Fingers or Toes; and without Speech in regard to her Distress, ordered her to be brought to her Habitation; this Gentlewoman for many Years, was troubled with Convulsions of a severe kind, was perfectly Cured in a very short time, by the Girls Stroaking. This Girl hath like Success in Pains that arise from the Spleen, Sores, and Swellings, and many other Distempers, and what is very Remarkable also in her; She never spoke one Word in Four Years, and then by a Prophetick Spirit, said, the Gentlewoman that preserved her, would Die by Two a Clock which happened accordingly. The Girl is Ingenious, and can Work at her Needle; and perform several other things worth Observation; Price for seeing her Six Pence a Piece. She Toucheth Gratis.' [Illustration: Hungarian Youth.]
