whilst debating on the prescription:-in truth, I don't see how the Doctors can ever agree, as the prescribers must necessarily take the assay, and one half of them verily believe that they should be poisoned thereby!" Amongst ye be it, blind harpers!"
I apprehend I have now touched on most of the topics which occurred to me as requiring a word of explanation. I repeat that this book is only to be considered as a desultory mélange— the whim of a winter's evening-a mere chanceselection. I shall therefore make no sort of apology for inaccuracies as to unity of time, for defective connexion, or the like. It amused my leisure hours; and if it fortunately amuses those of other people, I shall receive a great deal of satisfaction.
