Tho New York Journal Of c6&.
merce gives the following true sf-
count OF the humbug known as
.Moiher 6hiptnD:'
Mother Shipton was verilable
character, who lived more than three
hundred years ago, and uttered u
number OF so.cslled prophetic.
They were. for the most part, vagte,
unneaning jun3e OF seeming pre-
dic,ions applicable 10 no special event,
and without point or general Interest.
In l6al. a pamphlet containing
medley Of this sort, chiefy'in hating
verse, WAS printed IN London, and
her .'Lile and Curious Prophcciel"
were given t. the public in 1917.
In 1862. MIR. Charles Ilindley, Of
Brighton, England, issued what par
ported TO be an exact reprint IA
Chap. book Version Of Mother Ship
tons Prophecies, from the Edition of
l448". In this, Tor the first timr,
there were pith and point, and snee-
ial application, AL modem tiiscov-
cries were plsirly described, and one
prophecy which began,
Carriages without borses shall soo
and set forth the railroads, telegraphs,
siesW ers, and other modern lnvth-
tioDs, wound up with:
sThe world IN an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eightS one.n

of the nineteenth century had beei.
, SO aptly described, why rhonld mot

copied The prophecy, and without
, knowing anything OF its sonree, de-
} ncunccd It as = forgery. An Englien
r paper replied that Il was an exact re-
J print oil the old edition ior nearly
{; Two hundred AMI fifty years on file IL

0 be Mother Shipton's portrait; o,hera
