A BRIEF ANSWER
To the REMARKS made by "ARISTARCHUS" on "THE NEW AMERICAN ENGLISH GRAMMAR," published in the Kentucky Gazette, August 28, 1804.
THE 1st Remark made by Aristarchus, appears to have been occasioned by an error of the press. (a) Goal instead of goat. According to Mr. Walker and Sheridan, goal is soft before a, in this word; it was, therefore, proper to make it an exception to the general rule mentioned, page 6 of the New American English Grammar.
The 2d Remark is on the definition of a syllable. The definition given of a syllable in the American English Grammar, is a complete sound uttered in one distinct breath, or by a single impulse of the voice; as, O, come, &c. A. has chosen as the object of his criticism, the first part only. "A syllable is a complete sound, uttered in one distinct breath;" which may be found in Mr. Buchanan's Regular Syntax, page 57, the 5th American edition, printed in Philadelphia, by Charles Gilt. (b)
UNTO is a typographical error, marked in the errata of the American Grammar.
The 3rd Rem. is on note, page 10, Am. Gram. "The note of interrogation and admiration are indeterminate" &c. Mr. A. asks "how came the learned grammarian so far to forget his concord, as to use the singular noun note as the nominative to the plural verb, are?"
I will supply the Ellipsis in this sentence, then A. may correct it. "The note of interrogation and the note of admiration are indeterminate as to the length of the pause" (c) See Dr. Ash's Gram. on Ellip. page 46 & 47.
The 4th Rem. is on a passage taken chiefly from Buchanan's Reg. Syntax, pages 162, 163, 164. "A double period marked thus, (.....) is so called, because it denotes a pause of two periods; and indicates that the sentence or words after which it is marked, are worthy of consideration." He then describes a BREAK OF PARAGRAPH, AND A DOUBLE BREAK, as they are described in the American Grammar.
Again in p. 183. "Ellipsis, thus, (.....) is used when part of a word is left out; as, K--g. &c. Again, p. 184. After-wards, thus *, refers to the margin or the bottom of the page; several of them put together signify that there is something wanting, defective, or immodest, in the passage of the author. Again, see Mr. Harrison's English Grammar, p. 75. "Several asterisks (***) or a dash (.....) signify the omission of some part of a WORD or SENTENCE. A DASH is also used to denote a DISTINCTION OF PAUSE, NOT SUFFICIENTLY MARKED BY THE COMMON STOPS. Hence we find, that the black line ----- which Mr. A. endeavors to make look so very ridiculous, is in two of the most celebrated Grammars now extant, used in those different ways mentioned in the American Grammar. Mr. Buchanan and Dr. Ash have given us the same calculations with respect to the length of the pauses which are exhibited in the American Grammar. (d)
The 5th Rem. is on a passage taken from Buchanan's Regular Syntax, page 24. "The articles are never put before the pronouns, nor proper names of men, women, kingdoms, cities, nor the PARTICULAR NAMES of virtues, vices, metals, corn, herbs, except when we say, by way of distinction, he is a Howard, he is a Hamilton, i. e. one whose name is Howard, or Hamilton." (e)
Mr. A.'s, the beone, the she one, are personal pronouns with which I am unacquainted.
The 6th Rem. on the substantive nothing might apply to A.'s own definition of a substantive, as well as to that given in the American Grammar; for can Mr. A. conceive the substantive nothing to possess, or can he form an idea or notion of it? Mr. A. might as well have said nothing about it. (f)
The 7th Rem. is on a passage which may be found in Buchanan's Regular Syntax, p. 17, the following words ending in s and ss, make their plural by adding s only, viz. hoof, roof, grief, dwarf, mischief, handkerchief, relief, muff, cuff, snuff, stuff. A. endeavors to show that grief, relief, &c. are not used in the plural by adding s. Surely we both bore our GRIEFS and covered our SORES. --Lutab. 53. 4. "I loved the Lord; he bow'd his ear, And chated my griefs away."
Watts Psal. 118. 1 part. "Sinners your idols we despise, If their RELIGION they cannot grace;" Blackmore.
In Harrison's Grammar, improved by a teacher of Philadelphia, p. 12, there is the following paragraph: "Many words ending in f or ff, make their plural in ss; as, calf, calfs; knife, knives; but others follow the general rule; as, grief, griefs; so also, cliff, dwarf, hoof, roof, snuff, relief, handkerchief, relief, muff, &c." (g)
The 8th Rem. is on a passage taken from Buchanan's Syntax, page 17. "Have all words a plural and a singular number? No, whatever nature or art has made DOUBLE, wants the singular number; as, ASSES, bowels, bellows, breeches, entrails, lungs, &c. &c. Here we find the learned Buchanan uses DOUBLE & ASSES in the same sense in which they are used in the American Grammar. It ought to be remembered, that this Grammar has passed the scrutiny of Great Britain, and has gone through five editions in the Eastern States of America and in Philadelphia; where true science is by no means a stranger. (h)
Harrison's Grammar, p. 11. "Some nouns want the singular; as, ASSES, lungs, news." &c.
The 9th Rem. is on a passage taken from Buchanan's Syntax, p. 16, deer, hose, sheep, horn, are used alike in both numbers. Hose signifying breeches or stockings, by an error of the press was converted into hose, which gave A. some unnecessary trouble. (i)
The 10th Rem. is on a catalogue of words, which he delugingly intimates were chosen merely to exemplify the genders; whereas the genders are exemplified above, and these catalogues or tables of words placed in notes, in order that the pupil may be taught their proper use. These words, which A. calls obscene, you may see in Dr. Ash's Grammatical Institutes, Philadelphia edition, M. Carey, 1800, pp. 10 and 11. See also Harriso's Rudiments, p. 14. Likewise, see Buchanan's Syntax, pp. 20, 21, 22, 23 and Jones's Profound Grammar, p. 30.
Are not these and similar words used in the sacred writings? or if these are not sufficient authority with Mr. A., are not such words used by some of the most refined writers of our language? Do we not find them in Addison's, Swift's, Dr. H. Blair's? &c. But if these authors are not sufficiently refined, can we not find words of a far higher import in Payne, Payne? &c. And, are not such words found in the best Geographies and Dictionaries published in Europe and America? If so, why must the American Grammar be ridiculed, because it is calculated to teach the scholar to use these words with propriety. The learned know that there is the same reason for exhibiting tables of these nouns which form the feminine irregularly, that there is for exhibiting a table of irregular verbs. (j)
The 11th Rem. is on a passage respecting the comparison of adjectives. Something of a similar nature (k) may be found in Buchanan's Syntax, p. 26. "There are three degrees of comparison: the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. The positive is the adjective itself, simply without any degree of comparison; as, white, hard, &c. and strictly speaking is no degree of comparison, because it does not compare things together. The comparative begins the comparison." &c. Dr. Ash says (page 12 of his Grammatical Institutes) "Most adjectives have, at least, two degrees of comparison, which are commonly called comparative and superlative."
The 12th Rem. is an error of the press. (l) Durt, instead of durt.
The 13th Rem. is on wan, which Buchanan (see Regular Syntax, p. 59) makes the preterit tense of the verb win. "Win, present tense; wan or won, preterit participle won. See, also, Entick's Dictionary, under the word win, New-York edition. Here A. discovers his usual dexterity; he charges Mr. L. with having discovered that wan is not an adjective. I ask, where has Mr. L. said any thing which implies that he does not think wan an adjective? The learned know, that to say there is a preterit tense of a verb is spelled like an adjective, does not imply that there is no such adjective. "He learned to write, A learned man." (m)
The 14th Rem. is on the verb to spit. If A. will take the trouble to look into Walker's Dictionary, he will find to spit, v. a. preterit spat; participle passive, spit or spitted; signifying to put on a spit; to thrust through; and also the verb neuter to spit; which signifies to throw out spittle. The latter is the one which, (as it is now commonly used) is the same in the present tense preterit and participle. In Buchanan's Syntax, page 60, you may find both these verbs--and the apparent contradiction, which was charged upon Mr. L. as a real one. (n)
The 15th Rem. is made on an error of the press, which is corrected in the errata published with the American Grammar, viz. follow instead of follows. See Errata.
The 16th Rem. is on a rule which may be found in Harrison's English Grammar, page 50. Adjectives that signify dimensions, generally follow the nouns of measure; as, the wall is ten foot high. Mr. Harrison gives feet as the plural of foot, in page 12. Is he, therefore, guilty of a strange inconsistency? But this which A. calls a strange inconsistency is to be found in Dr. Lowth's Grammar. In Dr. Lowth's Short Introduction to English Grammar, page 21 of the Wilmington edition, he gives feet as the plural of foot, and then in page 96, he says "Nouns of measure, number, and weight, are sometimes joined in the singular form with nominal adjectives, denoting plurality; as, fifty foot; six score; ten thousand fathom deep."--Milten. P. L. 11. 234. Hence we see that even the celebrated Dr. Lowth has not escaped the censure of this mighty critic.
"A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep," &c. (o)
JOHN LYLE. * Mr. Bradford is requested to publish the above in the Kentucky Gazette.
NOTES BY ARISTARCHUS.
(a) "Appears" to be an error of the press; but might not the Rev. Author have reflected that appearances are often fallacious?
(b) The same definition of a syllable, he says "may be found in Buchanan's Regular Syntax."--It is very possible it may be the case; but is that any reason why it should appear in Mr. L.'s Syntax? Will the circumstance of its being "found" in another book justify the adoption of an absurdity? Buchanan's dogmatical assertions are not all Gospel.--In the passage which he has cited from Ps. xcv. 1. "O come let us sing unto the Lord" &c. he says, "UNTO is a typographical error" and as such, "marked in the errata of the Am. Gram." Does this shew any great respect for the Holy Bible? "Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth." Rom. xiv. 22.
(c) This is New Grammar indeed! Upon Mr. L.'s principles of construction, every singular nominative in the language may admit of a plural verb; and both numbers may be made to harmonize in grammatical concord. It is only "supplying the Ellipsis" and all is well.
Accordingly he maintains that the phrase "The note are," is good concord. Why? because the same noun with a conjunction may be implied and substituted in the following, thus--"The note and the note are." "Grammar are" an article let the noun be repeated in re-forming the sentence and every thing is right. "Grammar (and Grammar) are." Again, "Homer is sublime;" "Mr. L. are a great critic in genders;" the pupil in analyzing has nothing to do, but "to supply the Ellipsis" Homer (and Homer) are &c. Mr. L. (and Mr. L.) are &c. Admirable Grammarian!
(4) The Reverend Respondent here endeavours to justify himself by throwing the blame upon Buchanan and Harrison. Aristarchus cares not where he picked up such trash.
(e) This also he lays at Buchanan's door.
(f) Mr. A.'s definition of a substantive, as he calls it, is evidently more logical than Mr. L.'s, for there is a considerable difference between "distinctly perceiving" a thing, and having "only a notion" or opinion of it.
(g) Mr. L. has endeavoured to prove that grief and relief have a regular plural; but he lays not a word of SNUFFS. But he might have spared himself the trouble; for A. did not say that the plural of such words could nowhere be found; for there is scarce a Solecism that could be mentioned; but might be found in print. The words of A. are these, "An example or two will shew with what propriety these words are used in the plural by adding s." The first example, which the rev. critic brings forward, is from the Bible; for it seems he admits the authority of the sacred volume, only when it suits his purpose; for in his Grammar, he exhibits no less than five different texts, as ungrammatical, viz. (p. 74 Rule 28) "Neither in this world" &c. Mat. xii. 32. "Can a fig-tree bear olive berries" &c. James iii. 12. "And the third part" &c. Rev. viii. 12. (p. 75, Rule 29.) "If thou bring thy gift" &c. Mat. v. 23. (p. 75, Rule 55.) "And when they arose" &c. in Kings. xix. 35. If these five passages which he condemns as ungrammatical, be really so, why may not that solitary one which he has adduced to prove that the word grief has a plural, be improper also? His next example is taken from Watts' Psalms, most probably upon Scripture authority.-----He has only one example to produce for the plural of relief, which, however, he gives upon the authority of Blackmore. For the practical character of Blackmore the reader may consult Pope's Dunciad, and Martinus Scriblerus.
All our author has to say in his own defence is, that he copied it from Buchanan, and Buchanan from some other writer, & that writer from the Lord knows whom. It is no matter where he got it, every body of common sense must know that the rule is absurd. Buchanan's Grammar, he says, "has passed the scrutiny of Great-Britain." Quer. What can he mean by the "scrutiny of Great-Britain"? I will venture to assert, that nine-tenths of the inhabitants of "G. Britain" never heard of either Buchanan or his Grammar.
The word "Horse," he intimates, was inadvertently substituted by the printer, for "breeches and stockings" -- Risum teneatis! This reflects no great credit upon the typographical abilities of Mr. C.
The indelicate terms mentioned in A.'s xth remark were exhibited, he says, in order that the (fair) pupil may be caught their proper use? Who doubts it? has A. denied it? But "are not these and similar words," he asks, "used in the sacred writings? It is acknowledged, indeed, that there are too many such in the bible, which is one reason why it is so generally disliked in our modern schools.-----But I challenge Mr. L. to point out in what chapter and verse the words, Ditch, Strumpet and Fornicators, (which he has used in his Grammar) can be found. Also, in what page or pages of Dr. H. Blair's, Payne's and Volney's works, the same terms are to be met with. But even admitting such words could be found in their writings it would be nothing to the purpose, unless it could be proved that they wrote for the use of children.
k Something of a similar nature; but not exactly the same, nor so inconsistent.
l If so, why was it not inserted in the errata page, and as such acknowledged by the printer.
m "Wan" as the preterite of win, he tells us, he has given upon the authority of Buchanan, and also of Entick's Dictionary. Dr. JOHNSON, whose authority is superior to that of either Entick or Buchanan, has inserted it as the old obsolete preterite of win, as well as many other antiquated words, which he has explained for the assistance of those who might be inclined to read the "elder poets" as Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare &c. but not for the use of speakers & writers in the 19th century. Accordingly, in the Grammar prefixed to his dictionary, we find won, but not wan in the preterite.
n In attempting to reconcile his contradictions with regard to the verb spit, he has only involved himself in greater. Walker's verb to spit, which makes spitted or spit in the passive participle, cannot possibly
be the same which is given us in the table of irregular verbs in the Am. Gram. for the latter makes spitten. But supposing it had been the same, with due deference to Mr. Walker, who would use such an expression, as "he spat the meat" for "he put it on the spit." But further, as the rev. critic has brought forward a scripture text in a preceding paragraph, I hope I may be allowed to do the same. John ii. 6. "He spat on the ground." Mr. L. himself, either in his theological or grammatical capacity, will hardly affirm, that the words in the text, are to be understood of "putting meat to roast on a spit."
o The author has taken great pains to procure authorities in support of his favorite phrase "ten foot high." But why should he labour so hard only to contradict himself? For, granting that he had established the propriety of the phrase, (which however, he has not done) he must have flatly contradicted another of his rules. Does he not say, p. 62, Rule 3, "That all adjectives must (without exception) agree with their substantives in number?" But he seems to plume himself very much upon the authority of Dr. Lowth which he vainly imagines insuperable; he ought, however, to have been sure that he had the bishop upon his side, before he drew his conclusion; which unfortunately for him, was not the case. The venerable prelate does not say that such phrases are correct; he only intimates that such expressions are sometimes used; but says nothing in their favour.
At the conclusion of his "brief answer" he briefly insinuates that he has "drunk deep."
Quer. Of what? not of the "Pierian spring," but out of Harrison's Rudiments, and Buchanan's Regular Syntax, the worst parts of which he has nearly exhausted.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
MR. BRADFORD, You will give the following a place in your paper, and oblige A SUBSCRIBER.
MR. HENRY DAVIDGE, Having declared yourself a candidate for the most important trust that can be conferred by a free "and enlightened" people, and having invited the strictest scrutiny into your "public character and political sentiments," it behoves some person, whose situation, as it respects you, enables him to be somewhat acquainted with these, to accept this pompous challenge, and expose to the good sense of the district, some duplicity, and a squinting towards intrigue, which have come within the sphere of his observation, and which he presumes you will blush in denying.
In your frothy piece of rhapsody, addressed to the Southern electoral district, as I understand, to introduce yourself to their acquaintance, for it appears that six years' practice of the law, and one session's service in the legislature, have not been sufficient to draw you from the ignominious state of obscurity, which the Creator, in his wisdom, evidently designed you to fill. You state, that you have received the "warm and friendly solicitations of respectable citizens, to declare your willingness to serve your country as an elector" &c. &c. In answer to this, I shall require you to define the word "respectable," and to inform me of the names of the persons alluded to; for you must know, I question the veracity of this assertion, and latter myself I am too well acquainted with the opinion the "respectable" part of this district entertain of your frames and talents, ever to have thus exposed themself.
I believe they will accept of your vaunting proposal, and judge of your qualifications solely from your "actions" and admit them as the only criterion by which to determine your republican faith and firmness, therefore you must expect to stand or fall by the testimony they bear either of your faithfulness or duplicity. I can but pay the tribute of my admiration to your ingenuity in avoiding "the rehearsal of your political creed." Perhaps, (if you are not an apostate) you might find occasion to remark your having signed an address, bloated with sycophantic compliments to John Adams, on the wisdom, &c. of his administration. Hence the "rehearsal" would be a little painful, as well as "troublesome," and hence your reason for avoiding it. Those, my fellow-citizens, are the grounds on which I rest the charge of duplicity against Mr. Davidge.
That he is destitute of independence, consistency and firmness, is fully manifested by his conduct relative to the late Congressional election for the first district. He, I presume, will not deny having an intimate acquaintance with the pretensions of both the candidates, having expressed his high opinion of the talents of general Hopkins & his determination to support him. Mr. Davidge will not deny having ridiculed col. Lyon's talents, and avowed his contempt for his grovelling and filthy electioneering wiles; to the friend of col. Lyon, his conduct was diametrically opposite, and he traduced
the character, and disparaged the talents of general Hopkins at the expense of truth and honor. My fellow-citizens hold his consistency, and witness his independence, in voting for neither, (has could not be for the want of an opportunity, as he voted for those who offered him to fill offices in the state government) --Do you not in this, discover the weight his profession are entitled to, when he informs you, Thomas Jefferson shall be his choice, if honored with your confidence?
If Mr. Davidge feels himself injured by anything I have advanced, he will recollect there is time sufficient to bring forward his reply, and for me to adduce my proof prior to the election.
A Voter in the Southern Electoral District.
[The author will perceive that a part of his address to Mr. Davidge is omitted. We thought it entirely irrelevant.]

LEXINGTON, OCTOBER 2.
MARRIED. On last evening, by the Revd. Adam Rankin, Mr. ALFRED WALLIS of North Carolina, to Miss Polly HARG of this town. Ind. Gaz. Sep. 28.
A LETTER from Barbourville, in Knox county, to a Gentleman in this town, gives information of a man by the name of Patrick Pearce, being on his way to this country with a large amount of Counterfeit Bank Notes, principally of the Bank of the United States. The Public would therefore do well to be on their guard.
On Monday the 24th Sept. came on the trial of William Alcorn, before the Federal Court at Frankfort, for passing Counterfeit Bank Notes. The trial continued until Thursday evening, when he was found guilty, and sentenced to five years imprisonment, at hard labor, in the jail and Penitentiary house.
Christopher Irving who was apprehended with Alcorn, and who was out on Bail, failed to appear, and has forfeited his recognizance.
It appears by the Boston Federal papers, that the Federal ticket for Members of Congress has succeeded in New-Hampshire, by a small majority.
A Savannah paper mentions that the Vice-President, had arrived at St. Simons, in Georgia, in a vessel from Philadelphia, in perfect health, and entirely relieved from the hydrocephalus which afflicted him in the neighborhood of that city. The Vice-President is probably on his way to Louisiana.
Extract of a letter from Natchez, dated August 23.
"I fear some trouble is now brewing in Louisiana territory. Livingston of New-York, with some others, are stirring up the people to declaim against the government of the United States; and probably the discontent will be but too general. An insurrection has broke out in West Florida. A few days since, from report, a company of 250 men, were within 12 or 15 miles of the insurgents, who seemed determined to make a stand—the event we expect by the Mail, which will arrive from below on the day after tomorrow."
WILKESBARE, September 1.
Strange—if True!
An old gentleman of venerable appearance passed through this county a few days since, and gave to a number of our citizens the following information.
That he was from the neighbourhood of the Cayuga lake, and just as he started on his journey, he saw a man who informed him that two men were fishing on the lake, when they beheld at a little distance a monster in the form of a snake, rise out of the lake, and stretch himself on the bottom of the water.—That his appearance was
"Fierce as ten furies; Terrible as Hell!"
that the fishermen with more than ordinary courage ventured near enough to reach him with a rifle ball, and both firing at once fortunately dispatched him.
The people of the neighbourhood were immediately called together, and the Aquatic Mammoth drawn in triumph to the shore.
On an admeasurement it was found to be 102 feet 4 1-2 inches in length, and his size proportionably great. From his head projected a horn of considerable length. The old gentleman added that in going into Oswego he met three of the inhabitants going out to see the extraordinary creature, and that the skin was to be saved for Mr. Peale's Museum.
There is an Indian tradition that a monster of the kind described long inhabited the lake, and they believe it still continues there; they had an idea that it was an evil spirit and as such they worshipped it.
LONDON, July 16—25. RUSSIA, SWEDEN AND FRANCE.
Private letters from Paris, of the 10th inst. give a new proof of the hostile spirit of Bonaparte in his conduct towards Russia and Sweden. He has adopted a system of persecution against all the subjects of these two powers, whether travellers or merchants, in France, Italy, Switzerland, and Holland.—His military gens d'armes commanders and police agents, are ordered to insult, oppress and arrest them upon the slightest pretence. The least informality in their passes, any complaint that ingenuity and suspicion can devise, is considered a sufficient ground to detain their persons.—Those who are going to France are stopped at the frontiers, under the pretence that they ought to have new passes from Paris; and those who have, are detained under the pretence that their passes are correct.
During these last five weeks, no Russian or Swedish ship has been permitted to clear out and will; and notwithstanding the demands and representations of the consuls of their respective nations, the only answer that has been obtained is, "Such are the good will & pleasure of the emperor." This measure is generally supposed to be a prelude to an embargo. Many circumstances tend to confirm this suspicion. Among these is the great activity of the police agents to discover and ascertain the property of Russian and Swedish subjects in France, and to prevent any transfer or removal of it. Should a rupture with these countries take place, an event considered in France very probable, there is little doubt but that Russian and Swedish subjects will experience similar treatment to that which British subjects in France experienced last year.
Undoubted intelligence is said to have reached our government, that upon receiving the note respecting the duke D'Enghien, from the Russian minister, Bonaparte, in a climax of rage, wrote a note with his own hand to the emperor of Russia in the most vindictive style. This was instantly despatched; but after several hours remonstrance from Talleyrand, another courier was despatched to stop the delivery of this philippic .—The messengers reached Peterburgh on the same day, but the flaming note arriving first, had been delivered. The emperor of Russia has ordered copies of it to be sent to every court in Europe, and it is said to be of a most unique description.
A report was generally circulated yesterday evening in the city, that a courier had arrived from St. Peterburgh with dispatches for our government, announcing that the emperor of Russia, had declared war against France. In addition to the intolent expression made use of by Bonaparte, in his answer to the Russian remonstrance, it is reported he said, "it was strange that the Emperor of Russia, who was surrounded by the unpunished murderers of his father, should dare to charge him with the murder of the Duke D'Enghien."—All this, however, we give merely as report.
We are assured, that Gen. Angereau had, on the 28th ult. two long conferences with Bonaparte, previous to his departure for Breft. At the last, Talleyrand, Berthier and a few senators and ministers of State, most in the confidence of the Corlican, were present. Angereau is said to have pledged himself for the success of the landing in this country, provided the plan which he has himself projected for effecting the enterprise, be adopted without any change or alteration, and Bonaparte is stated to have acquiesced in the condition.
We are again threatened with the speedy sailing of the Breft fleet, which is stated to be completely ready for sea. The troops in that quarter, destined to embark, are ordered to hold themselves in readiness; and the commander in chief, Angereau, was shortly expected from Paris.
Government seems fully impressed with the opinion the moment draws near when the enemy will hazard the experiment of an invasion. The greatest activity prevails in all our principle points of defence, and troops are in constant movement. The brigade of guards at Colchester and in that quarter, was this morning on its way to the Thames at Gravesend, and we understand that an encampment of 20,000 men will be immediately formed at Coxheath, in order to be ready to defend the southern coast, or to embark for Ireland, as the exigency of affairs may require.

Several votaries of the muse, including General Kirkpatrick, have attempted to celebrate Mr. Fox; but his Grace, who acted as Mæcenas, has given the preference to the following tasteful lines from the elegant pen and refined genius of the Duchess of Devonshire, inscribed on a pedestal supporting a very fine bust of Mr. Fox:  Here, midst the friends he lov'd, the man beheld, In truth unfeigned, and in virtue bold; Whose patriot zeal and uncorrupted mind, Dar'd to assert the freedom of mankind; And whilst, extending desolation far, Ambition spread the baleful flames of war, Fears of blame, and eloquent to save, 'Twas he—'twas Fox—the warning council gave!  Midst jarring conflicts stemm'd the tide of And to the menac'd world a Sea-mark stood! Oh! had his voice in mercy's cause prevail'd, What grateful millions had the Statesman hail'd!  Whose william bid the broils of nations cease, And taught the world humanity and peace! But though he fail'd, succeeding ages here, The vain yet pious effort shall revere; Boast in their annals his illustrious name, Uphold his greatness, and confirm his fame!  "Trifles, light as air."
A grandee of Spain handing some refreshments to a circle of ladies, observed one with a most brilliant ring, and was rude enough to say in her hearing, "I should prefer the ring to the hand;"—"And I," said the lady (looking fearfully at the glittering order suspended to the Don's neck) "should prefer the collar to the beast."
