hearing of the Rev Robert Hall, pressed him,
with mixture of selfcomplacency and in
delicacy, to state what he thought Of the SER
mon. Mr.. Hall remained silent for some
time, hoping that his silence would be rightly
interpreted; but this only caused the question
to be pressed with greater earnestness. At

you say so. Pray, sir, which was it" "Why,
sir, it was the passage from the pulpit to the
