*From Rivington's March 15, 1775, New York Gazeteer:
    At last, a single horse chair stopped at the Apothecary's, opposite the Meetin (the
Old South Meetinghouse in Boston), from which descended the Orator (Warren) of the day; and,
entering the shop, was followed by a servant with a bundle, in which were the Ciceronian Toga, etc.
Having robed himself, he proceeded across the street to the Meeting, and being
received into the pulpet....put himself into a Demosthenian posture, with a white
handkerchief in his right hand, and his left hand in his breeches, --began, and ended
without action.
