1711 - L. Mar. 21; ed:2/1 - The English ministry, due to its ownership
of the ALABAMA and other private ships which ravaged the commerce of
the United States, is now anxious because of its position. Shaw Lafevre
censures the British goverment by comparing England to the lion, in
the fable "Lion and the Gnat." - - - - - -
"To save the British lion from worse injuries hereafter, than those
inflicted in our case, there is no method so certain as that suggested
by Shaw Lafevre." - (6)
