" To this passage is annexed the following note : ** perhaps another instance of this nature subsisted not long ago , in the metropolis itself ; where it was usual to bring up a fat buck to the altar of St .

is important that information of this sort should be conveyed to you with all possible correctness , I beg to state as above that Mr . Carpenter ' s ministry at Stourbridge re-commenced in October . 1806 . '
