Summary
September 1, 1774 broadside from "Agricola" to the printer of the Gazette. Commenting on a "miserable piece" published on the 31st, the author states "Surely never did a writer fall off so much in so short a time; 'but the cause being known, the wonder ceases.'" The author notes that "polemick writings seldom serve any good purpose; they are the bane of society." Agricola suggests that the positions of other authors ought be moderate and presented in a truthful manner, rather than to seek victory over another position.
Note
Signed and dated at end: Agricola. September 1, 1774.
