the thumb. the will-power of its owner being
great or little according to the length or
want of length Of its upper joint. How the
thumbs OF Roman holiday makers we're
formed mattered nothing to the defeated
gladiator, whose fate hung upon there being
bent forward or backward; a method OF
decreesng life or death to which perhaps we
owe the old saying that man at another's
mercy is under his thumb.

thumb upon the wax Of documents seal
that made the deed a binding and valid in
strument, and in verbal contracts the thumb
ratified the bargain. Cloths and Iberians
completed an agreement by licking and
Joining their thumbs, as Scotsmen once did,
and Moors still do; and rustic lovers once
betrothed ethemselves by licking their re-
spective masters fingers and then pressing
them together, as they vowed to remain
faithful to each other forever and a day.
