Miss Wilberforce
WHEN Mr. Wilberforce was a candidate for Hull, his sister, an amiable
and witty young lady, offered the compliment of a new gown to each of
the wives of those freemen who voted for her brother, on which she was
saluted with a cry of Miss Wilberforce for ever! when she pleasantly
observed, I thank you, gentlemen, but I can not agree with you; for
really, I do not wish to be Miss Wilberforce for ever!
