"Make something up, then,-- Munchausen would." (720.24)

AT THE CITY OF LONDON, ENGLAND.

We, the undersigned, as true believers in the profit, do most solemnly
affirm, that all the adventures of our friend Baron Munchausen, in whatever
country they may lie, are positive and simple facts. And, as we have been
believed, whose adventures are tenfold more wonderful, so do we hope all
true believers will give him their full faith and credence.

GULLIVER.
SINBAD.
ALADDIN.

Sworn at the Mansion House
9th Nov. last, in the absence
of the Lord Mayor.
JOHN (the Porter)
