tleport of the Progress of the Lancasterian System in Ireland [ From the Freeman ' s Journal , Dublin . March 25 , 13 ^ 2 . ]
Early in November , Mr . Lancaster arrived at Shrewsbury on his way to Ireland , and lectured in that town . He exerted himself it appears with much success , for after the lecture tfae Mayor took
