Htttsr to the brave. It is with
touch pJeafurc we reewrd the nusic
rous reftimoßials of hon*r paid to
the gallant Captain Hull, far his
brilliant vi&ory esbtair*co over the
Gue*rir. In Bofion, he kas been
honored with a public at

peclable genrlt tneri of both pohtic

alTo, that fuck other tokens of ef

Such public tokens of gratitude
for brilliant frrvices cannot be too
much applauded ; as no doubt they
