Dear Sir: We have in our college library an original manuscript of Solomon Spaulding unquestionably genuine. I found it in 1884 in the hands of Hon.
Heine suggests a millennial banquet of all nations, where the French are to have the place of honor, for their improvements in freedom and in cookery, and Master Rabelais could imagine nothing more genial than when in the Moyen de Parvenir, he placed all the gay, gallant, wise, brave, genial, joyous dames and demoiselles, knights, and scholars of all ages at one eternal supper.
