Abraham Newland. A name by which a Bank-of-England note was long known, owing to its being made payable to Mr. Newland, the cashier. An old song, fifty or sixty years ago, ran thus: --
"For fashion and arts, should you seek foreign parts, |
It matters not wherever you land, |
Hebrew, Latin, or Greek, the same language they speak, |
The language of Abraham Newland. |
CHORUS |
Oh Abraham Newland, notified Abraham Newland! |
With compliments crammed, you may die and be damned, |
If you haven't an Abraham Newland." |
