The incident occasioned some mirth at the time; but the_con version of it into a great political manoeuvre, the metamorphosis of the little idle culprit into " se veral Officers of the National Horse-Guards," the infamous inscription beneath the Lutst, and the arrest and imprisonment of the Officers in conse vence by the Duke of Reggio, were all as pure fictions of the narrator's brain, as were " the tongs, the poker, and the kittens," in the . bu morons farce of the Liar."—(limes.)
