is said, deny the genuineness Of this document,
and contend that their church has no such for
mula, but that Sterne, in his Tristram Shandy,
invented and put into the mouth of DR.. Slop
this tremendous curse, for no other purpose than
to bring the Roman Church into contempt

generally discussed, by the English and Ameri-
can newspaper press, and extremely convincing
proof was procured that DR.. Stops curse was a
verbatim copy of that, in latin, employed by the
