| | Description: | Sir,—Having just heard of the wonderful resurrection of Mr. Roger Dodsworth from under an avalanche, where he had remained, bien frappé, it seems, for the last 166 years, I hasten to impart to you a few reflections on the subject.—Yours, &c. Sir, Sir—A well-known classical traveller, while employed in exploring,
some time since, the supposed site of the Temple of Diana of Ephesus,
was so fortunate, in the course of his researches, as to light upon a very
ancient bark manuscript, which has turned out, on examination, to be
part of an old Ephesian newspaper;—a newspaper published, as you will
see, so far back as the time when Demetrius, the great Shrine-Extender
“For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith,
which made shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the
craftsmen; whom he called together with the workmen of like
occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have
our wealth.”
