t h e ingenious Sir John Sinclair, Prefident of the Board
of Agriculture, and others, ftruck my wife very forcibly.
— " Dear me !" (lie faid one morning at breakfaft-—•
" how fimple the receipt is !—Juft: one half flour, and
one half potatoes. I declare I will try it—and then
we ill a 11 make ouf own b r e a d , and what a faving t h a t
will be ! It is but having a little cart-iron oven put u p
at the fide of the kitchen grate, and it will be the m o d
convenient and h a n d y thing in the world-—it will
bake a pie or a few tarts upon occafion; and you k n o w ,
m y love, it will keep your leg of mutton hoc and comfortable any time that you fliould happen to be detained at Lloyd's. W h a t do you t h i n k of it, my d e a r ? "
1 never have an opinion of my own upon any fubje<5t
of this kind. M y wife is fovereign out of the counting-houfe, which is my only t e r r i t o r y . <c My d e a r , "
fays I — " you k n o w be ft. It is furely the d u t y of ever y one to leflen the c o n f u m p t i o n of wheat; and, if you
t h i n k a ini^ed bread will anfwer, I would have you
t r y i t ; b u t , my love, might you not make your exper i m e n t , and fend the loaf to the ba^kehoufe, and not
b u y an oven till you fee how it a n f w e r s ? " ? Qh dear,
«
no, by no m e a n s ; now that is always your way. M y
G o d ! t r u f l a baker with an experiment when lie is to
be deprived of our cuftom if it fucceeds! No, I t h a n k
y o u . W h y , he would b u r n it on purpofe. , ? T h e r e is
no arguing with my wife,{he is fo clever; and, bciides,
when once flie takes> up a thing, flie finds out fo m a n y
advantages in a m i n u t e , t h a t did not ftrike h e r at firft,
t h a t the fecond reafons are often more forcible t h a n
the original inducement. Thi.s was precifely the cafe
about the little caft-iron o v e n ; it was thought of o n r
ly for the fake of the potatoe-bread ; but fuch a variety of ufes, for an oven pame crowding upon her mind,
that {he wondered how we had ever been able to go
OR without an oven.—An oven would fave itfelf m
£\yo months in the expence of f u e l ; for ilie declared
�I
f I
(
4 .)
for her own p a r t that fhe liked baked meat as well as
roaft, and whenever I dined out, fhe and the children
could do very well with a bit of a beef-fteak pie, or a
b a k e d fhoulder of m u t t o n , and, befides, a eafi-iron
oven was no expence—She faw one fold at an au&iori
for a couple of guineas, and (lie knew the b r o k e r t h a t
bought i t ; he lived in Moorfields, for fhe often dealt
w i t h him.*'—-I did not fay a word more.
W h e n I came home to d i n n e r , my wife told me with
great joy, that f h e had got the oven, and the b r i c k layer was coming in the morning to fet it; and f h e
bad only paid two guineas and a half, and it was as
good as new. T h e r e was not a fmgle crack about it,
and it was quite charming.
T h e r e was only one
t h i n g that fhe did not k n o w how to m a n a g e — t h e r e
was not room by the fide of the fire for the oven without removing the boiler. But flie was f a r e , if the
bricklayer had not been an afs, he might have c o n t r i v ed it fomehow. But, hang the c o p p e r , it was not
wanted o f t e n ; it might be put u p in the lirtie back
cellar under the counting-houfe, It would be eafy,
the bricklayer faid, to carry up a flue. I faw fhe had
fettled the whole plan, and fhe entertained me d u r i n g
dinner with the preparations fhe had made for our
new bread. She was hire, f h e faid, that potatoes
would be dear, bccaufe every body was going to eat
t h e m , and (lie had therefore the precaution to buy in
as many as fhe thought ivould ferve us for the winter*
s
' G o o d G o d ! my dear, they wii! fpoil. W h e r e can
you keep them?'* " I warrant you I'll find r o o m , "
fays flie; " a n d as to their f p o i | i n g , I'll anfwer for
t h e m . How do I preferve pears till the m o n t h of
J u n e ? and fureiv they are more delicate than potatoes." I kno>v how clever m y wife is at thefe things.
H e r prefe'rves are excellent, and there is not a week
b u t fome of our friends are forced to fend to us for
a pot or two, when their own are all f p o i l t ; . and my
�(

)
wife always takes care to have enough on t h a t v e r y
account.
Well, Sir, next day my wife begged of me to dine at
t h e cofFee-houfe, becaufe I knew the kitchen would be
quite taken u p with the b r i c k l a y e r ; and flie was de->
termined to lofe n o time, for flie would have a loaf
r e a d y to put in as foon as the oven was fet. Well,
Sir, I went to Slaughter's coffee- houfe, and told m y
friends how neceflary it was for every body to fet an
example, in thefe hard times, of eating a mixed b r e a d ,
and that I had determined to introduce it in my own
family. Indeed, I faid, my wife was a&ually about it.
Aye, M r . Cakeling," faid a neighbour, " you are t h e
man to lead us the w a y ; you have a wife that knows
how to do every thing. I'll be bound that flie makes
bread fit for a prince if f h e f e t s about i t . " T h i s is t h e
way, my dear Sir, that ail my friends f p e a k about m y
wife, flie has got fuch a name for clevernefs. So I
went home quite full of our new bread-^-No—quite elated I m e a n — f o r oh, my dear Sir, to this day, and it
is fix weeks ago fince we began to bake, I have not
•got a belly-full of home made b r e a d .
I wifli I had time to go t h r o u g h all our experiments.
One time our loaf would not r i f e — a n o t h e r time it
would not come out—it fluck faft to the b o t t o m — i t
wanted fait, it had too much fait—it \vas too wet, it
was too dry ! it was fometimes quite dough, but in ge»
neral it was b u r n t t o a cinder. It went on this way
for the firft w e e k ; my wife and I could not difcover
the reafon. W e had tried potatoes in every w a y ; we
had boiled t h e m , m a f h e d them, pulverifed them, p o u r ed water after water over them to make them white ?
we had reduced (I fay ive, for being a national objedt, I
was h a p p y to take a p a r t ; befides, I own, I was a little
on t h e alert, for I had promifed my friends at Slaughter's to bring them a loaf) we had reduced ao lbs. of
potatoes to 2, and had made excellent flarcb of it ?
�(
6
)
though we could not make b r e a d . W e had conftimed
half the flock of potatoes that was to ferve us all winter, without getting a fmgle loaf that was eatable.—
My wife cried for vexation. She was f u r e there muft
be fomething in the m a t t e r that we did not dream of,
for ilie knew as well how to make bread as any baker
in E n g l a n d ; but llie would find it out before f h e
Uept.
A n old baker who had now turned flour-fa&or, of
<»ur acquaintance, was called in, not becaufe f h e did
not know, as well as any baker in England, how to
make bread ; but there might be fome knack in m a n a ging the oven, that ille was unacquainted with—fomething in the way of heating it—or of putring the
bread in it — or of taking it out. In ihort, for once
f h e would take advice. " L o r d , M a ' a m , " fays the

But mark the confequences. T h e kitchen chimney
was torn down, and fome how or other the flue was

My maid gave us wurning, flie could not live in it; and
I was forced to dine at the coffee-houfe every d a y .
M y wife, however, is a woman of refource. She applied to an ingenious mechanic, who has great fkill in
chimneys. T h i s man has invented a fine a p p a r a t u s

expence of more than 50I. I have got my kitchen met a m o r p h o f e d ; and 1 am making mixed bread at no a l lowance.
M y wife has got into the way. T h i s caft-iron oven
on the new pian fucceeds to a miracle; arid 1 lbouid
be quite h a p p y if it were riot for the expence. But
really, my dear Sir, there is nothing fo dear as economy. I calculate that every quartern-loaf of bread
which I make cofts me h a l f - a - c r o w n ; and this is not
the w o r d of it. Sometimes we all get the gripes into

come to a good r o u n d f u m for counteracting tlie effects of the ftaff of life.
1 do not afcribe this to my w i f e ; no, Sir, flie is the

wheat and barley, and that gave us d y f e n t e r y . T h e
next we had a mixture of oatmeal, arid that put o u r
blood into a f e v e r : on the third we had potatoe bread,
and then we had indigeflion. In f h o r t , without knowing at fiid the reafon, we have all been u n w e l l ; have
all had occafion for the apothecary. A n d we are ail

called in faid to my face, at the Langbourn W a r d coffee-houfe, t h a t , if this faving plan went on, all the

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A fairy tale in which a King is resolved to marry his own daughter due to her extraordinary beauty. When her protests are ignored, the Princess tricks her father into having a golden bull made for her, which she hides in when her father comes for her. Thinking his daughter escaped, the king sends the bull, with the princess still inside, to a Prince whom the Princess had fallen in love with. When she emerges in his chambers, the Prince vows to marry her, but keeps her hidden inside the bull until he can return. While he is gone, she is discovered by ladies of the court who throw her into the river. She survives and ultimately is returned to the Prince by a gentleman who finds her, whereupon the ladies are punished, the Prince marries the Princess, and they rule both their countries after the death of her father.

Tune—For ay that an* a* that«
COMB, let us hail our Patriot King,
His Council true an* a* that;
And roun* him let us all as one,
Rejoicing sing for a* that.
For a' that and a' that,
Queen Adelaide and a* that ;
H e nobiy fought the people's cause,
Our Sailor King an' a* that.
Long has our Country borne the yoke,
O' Borough laws and a' that;
While pamper'd nobs, wi' friens and jobs*
Hae made us poor and a* that.
For a' that and a* that,
We're grumbling now at a' that;
But times hae chang'd, since tyrants xih
Could mak vis slaves an' a' that.
�^//Jf

We've seen the Bill, which Royal Will
Approv'd, and back'd an' a' that;
But P e e l & Co. cried out, 4i Oh, no!
" We'll kick it out," an* a' that.
For a' that an, a' that.
Y e ken their fate an' a* that:
Reform ! Reform ! rais'd sic a storm,
As blew them up an* a' that.
Some's lighted here, some's lighted there,
Some's ne'er been seen, an' a' that ;
But they'll be fewer Ciascoigne-men,
When next they meet, wi' a' that.,
For a ' that a n ' a ' that,
The people's will and a' that,
Must have its sway, we'll gain the day,
For Britain's right, and a' that.
A light has dawn'd on mony a land
Where slav'ry reigned, an' a' that,
But soon we'll see the brave, the free,
Shake off their chains an' a' that.
For a' that an r a' that,
It's coming fast wi' a' that,
When thrones maun rest on freedom's soil,
< )r be swept aif frae a' that.
Awa, confusion's sons, awa'
W ild anarchy, and a' that;
Our watch-word is, 4 < Our Isoble King,
" Our Country's laws," an' a' that.
For a' that an' a' that,
We'll brave the world for a' that;
A valiant heart will lead us on,
To do or die for a' that.
Then let us sing, " God save our King,"
W ith three times three an' a' that;
An' may each traitor villain swing
Abune our heads, for a' that.
For a' that an' a' that,
Our Country's good an' a' that,
Is all we wish, is all we want.
An' this we'll get lor a'y that.

Go muster just as strong's you please,
The country keeps itsel at ease,
For every one too plainly sees
Your motive's 'gainst reforming.
You're known to be a party tool,
Too fond of place, and fond of rule,
Brought up in Londonderry's school,
A school against reforming.
Shake hands with Wellington the chief,
Go mingle tears with Vy vian's grief;
Poor Gascoigne's reign has been but brief,
Since he went against reforming.
Hail to WILLIAM our gracious king,
And in his praises let us sing,
Who can to Britain glory bring,
Our glory is reforming.
Hey Bobby Peel are ye running yet,
And are your troops retreating yet,
For by my sang ye will be beat,
On the motion for reforming.
A FAMOUS MAN,

&C.
Love she's but a Lassie yet.
A famous man was Noble Grey,
The staunch Reformer's hope and joy ;
Nor need we care what those may say,
Who would, who would the cause destroy,
�A dauntless .front our Sovereign shews,
And tyranny he will disarm ;
A Patriot heart in Brougham glows,
To keep, to keep Reform from harm.
A famous man, &c.
A daring mood is in the Bill,
Yet still it is a simple plan ;
That Ten Pound Voters use their will,
To choose, to choose their proper man*
A famous man, &c.
N o w Britons they are free to rove,
Nor care for Boroughmongers* rag« ;
And they can check the House above
To rule, to rule as fits our age.
A famous man, &c.
ask not freedom from the French,
Nor Jonathan to mend our l a w s ;
For liberty our country's staunch,
And what, and what can stop ©ur cause,
A famous man, k c .

T O V E L Y power, that o'er the heart,
With gentle defpotifm reigns,
And, with manners void of art,
Leads mankind in willing chains:
II.
Lovely power, of fweetefl joys,
The courteous fmile, the eye benign,
The accent foft, th' affenting voice,
Th' attentive, affable de%n:

III.
Gentle power, poffefs my breaft,
And, images of foftnefc raife,
And, banifh thence each thought unbleft,
While I ling in Mary's praife.
IV.
I feek not beauty's power to trace,
Tho' of beauty fhe has flore :
Small's beauty's power, and foon its grace,
Will lofe its charm to chafm no more.
V.
Nor praife I yet her wealth, or birth,
Poor the triumphs they beftow,
She prides not things fo void of worth,
Nor ftoops my inufe to praife fo low,
VI.
Nor yet the witty things fhe fays
Seek I on the lyre to found,
Wit is a momentary blaze,
A fpark that dazzles but to wound.
VII.
Let wit, ne'er touch thy firings, my lyre,
A fatal fpark, however its fame,
And O! it kindles many a fire,
Where withers many a lovely name.
VIII.
Thy firings, my lyre, ne'er found its praife,
Wit many a blufning pang hath given,
Drawn many a fon from virtue's ways,
And many a daughter fit for heaven.

IX.
Let wit, my lyre, ne'er touch thy firings,
'Mid many a wild, and many a thorrt^
Its wandering votaries it brings,
And leaves a phantom in return.
X.
I praife thee, Mary, not for wit;
Good humour'd fenfe is better far,
And that thou haft with manners fit^
Manners mild as morning-ftar.
XI.
It is becaufe thou'rt virtue's child.
Virtue in her fofteft drefs,
Virtue, lovely, fweet and mild,
Virtue, feeking how to blefs*
XII.
The foft addrefs, the fmiling eyes,
The manners gentle and benign,
In thefe, a woman's glory lies,
And thefe, fweet Mary, all are thine.
XIII.
Stealing upon the heart they feize,
With windings foft, yet clofely wove,
When lovely woman {loops to pleafe
The hardeft heart mull bend to love.
XIV.
O! why then lovely females, wander
From where your pride and glory lies^
Why leave the gentle, foft meander,
For boift'rous feas, and ftormy fkies.

XXI.
Cold difdain and looks of ftate,
Laughter boifTrous, noify wit,
Proud negledt, or loud debate,
Ah! lovely woman ill befit.
XVI.
Sweet courtefy, and winning fmlles,
Manners foft, and void of art—
Thefe, are Love's engaging wiles,
Thefe are they which win the heart.
XVII.
But rougher talks, O! furely never,
For fweet woman were ordain'd.
You lofe by driving to be clever,
What your native charms had gain'cL
XVIII.
Nature made ye gentle creatures,
Take the way where nature leads,
Maidens, view your lovely features,
And feek the vales and fiow'iy meads*
XIX.
Sweetly, flows the foft meander,
On its banks grow every flower,
There, the loves and graces wander,
There, arifes Venus' bower.
XX.
And there, fweet Mary, thou doft {tray,
No mafc'line airs doft thou affume,
Sweet Mary bends her graceful way
Where violets and lilies bloom.

XXI.
No cold difdain or haughty mien,
On Mary's brow yet ever fate,
Nor proud negled, in her was feen
To children of a lowly fate.
XXII.
For, well fhe argued, birth and power,
And riches, ne'er for pride were given;
The {hining pageants of an hour,
Talents lent by favouring heaven.
XXIII.
Nor e'er the wit did Mary try,
Which flains the model! cheek with fhame,;
Far lefs what with a varnifh'd lie
Difcolours all a fpotiefs name.
XXIV.
Ah! no, for a much nobler end,
Her wit the lovely Mary us'd;
To cheer the humble, or defend
The fame of innocence abus'd.
XXV.
Qft, have I fat, and, with an eye*
Of filent pieafure, on her gaz'd,
While the bent flower of modeft dye,
All drooping, fhe has gently rais'd.
XXVI.
How oft delighted have I fat,
And view'd the charmer's gentle fchefnes,
To lead the humble to forget
And. flill his fears in pleafing dreams*
�( 7 )
XXVII.
How oft delighted have I feen
Her fondly take the fallen's part,
With quickeft thought, and nobleft mien,
And yet with fuch a gentle art—
XXVIII.
A manner, fearful to ofFend,
Yielding, yet firm, to virtue's right,
She argued only to befriend,
Delighting, only to delight.
XXIX.
0 lovely maid! oft have I turn'd,
Prom brows of haughty fcorn to thee,
When infults in my bofom burn'd,
For haughty looks have wounded jne.
XXX.
And infults haughty looks I deem,
And cold replies, or proud negle&,
More galling far, becaufe they feem
Convey'd with manners of r e f p e d - ^
XXXI.
1 turn'd, and found a gentle balm,
That 'jfwag'd the tumults of my bread,
Thy fweet replies, bade all be calm.
Thy fmiles, reftor'd my foul to reft.
XXXII.
Then, lovely maid, accept thefe lays,
Thy merit, only, gave them bjjrth,
Tho' poor the fwain that fings thy praife,
Ne'j^r fung he, but in praife of worth.

Nor ftoop'd he e'er to fawn the great,
Or praife what fell from folly's tongue,
He faw no charms in pomp or ftate,
And what he faw not, ne'^r he fung*
XXXIV;
Tho' poor the fwain that fings thy praife,
He fcorns to bow at flatt'ry's fhrine,
Put on this crown of humble bays,
For not a wreath is there but thine.
XXXV.
And find you in this crown of bays,
A flow'r lil-chofen, or ill-weav'd,
Blame not a youth who feeks no praife,
Nor wiflies but to be believ'd.
XXXVI.
Too proud to fawn, to hope too low,
He never fann'd love's gentle fire,
Sweet worth to praife, and praifing (how.
Was all his fwelling heart's defire.
