Since by insensible Degrees, theirSociety is become so numerous and formidable, thatthey are without Number; other Bodies have theirMeetings, but where can the Dumpling-Eaters assemble?what Place large enough to contain 'em! The _Bank_, _India_, and _South-Sea_ Companies have their GeneralCourts, the _Free-Masons_ and the _Gormogons_ theirChapters; nay, our Friends the _Quakers_ have theirYearly Meetings. And who would imagine any of theseshould be Dumpling-Eaters? But thus it is, theDumpling-E...ating Doctrine has so far prevailed among'em, that they eat not only Dumplings, but _Puddings_, and those in no small Quantities.
The Dumpling is indeed, of more antient Institution, and of _Foreign_ Origin; but alas, what were thoseDumplings? nothing but a few Lentils sodden together, moisten'd and cemented with a little seeth'd Fat, notmuch unlike our Gritt or Oatmeal Pudding; yet werethey of such Esteem among the ancient _Romans_, that aStatue was erected to _Fulvius Agricola_, the firstInventor of these Lentil Dumplings.
