-
-OF THE
-
-LEARNED PIG [1].
-
-
-The great and learned Pig, of which it is our hap to ſpeak, was
-produced in a ſty belonging to an old Tory, bookſeller, in [2]
-_Moorfields_. At that time _Moorfields_ was diſtinguiſhed by rails
-which [3] fluttered with party writings and libels of every ſort; and
-it is remarkable that his mother, during her pregnancy, tore down from
-thoſe rails, and fairly devoured one whole volume of _Filmer_ and all
-_Sacheverell_’s ſermons at a meal; after which ſhe was obſerved to
-grunt more and louder, and to lie longer in the ſun, and deeper in the
-mire, than it had before been her cuſtom to do. She was delivered of
-our Pig on the morning of the _tenth of June_. He was ſtrong and bony,
-but of an inelegant form, and betrayed a very uncommon roughneſs in
-his ſqueak; and it was ſoon after remarked by the neighbours, that his
-trottings after his mother were made in [4] zig-zags, and not in
-ſtraight lines as is uſual with other pigs. After his mother, however,
-he reſolutely trotted, and one morning, as ill fortune would have it,
-into a garden which had belonged to the great _Milton_, and was now in
-the poſſeſſion of one of his daughters. Here he fed voraciouſly upon
-_white roſes_, whilſt his lady mother was buſily employed in rooting up
-all the _red ones_. He was in this place ſeized by the owner, and ſo
-ſeverely whipped, that he thought no other than that ſhe was whipping
-him to death in preparation for a luxurious meal. Of this whipping he
-retained through life the higheſt reſentment, and bore ever after the
-moſt inveterate hatred of the whole _Miltonic line_. On the fifth of
-November following he was taken up, without any warrant, by the rabble,
-for the uſes of a _Whig feaſt_, and was very near being _roaſted_ at
-the ſame fire with the _Pope_, the _Devil_, and the _Pretender_; but
-this being diſcovered to be ſomething _meaſly_, he was turned
-looſe to be cured, as they deridingly ſaid, by the [5] _royal touch_.
-Of this event he retained the ſtrongeſt ſenſibility, and conſidered
-ever after his fellow ſufferers, the _Pope_ and the _Pretender_, with
-great complacence, if not affection; but as to the other _party_,
-though expoſed to the ſame diſhonours, there was ſomething in his
-horns and his tail which he could never be brought to endure.
-The touch already mentioned, though profanely ſneered at by the _Whig
-rabble_, was ſoon afterwards in good earneſt applied; but ſo great an
-obliquity of head had by this time taken place, that it could never
-be perfectly reſtored. Upon this memorable occaſion there was placed
-about his neck a ribband of _true blue_, to which hung a ſilver coin,
-diſplaying royal lineaments of the _Stuart line_, making ſo ſtrong
-an impreſſion on his young fancy, that for that line he ever after
-retained the moſt [6] paſſionate regard. Thus decorated, he conſidered
-himſelf, and was conſidered by others, as a kind of [7] _Tantony_, or
-_St. Anthony_’s Pig, belonging to the Crown. Not long after this period
-he was heard one morning as he lay in the ſun to grunt forth,
-portentouſly the following rhymes:
-
- Gruntledum, gruntledum, gruntledum, ſqueak,
-
- I hope very ſoon to be able to ſpeak;
-
- Through my griſtly proboſcis, I find, that I can
-
- Already cry _Ay_ like a Parliament man:
-
- Like a maid I ſqueak, like a lover can whine,
-
- And ſnort like an Alderman laden with wine.
-
- Gruntledum, gruntledum, gruntledum, ſqueak,
-
- I hope very ſoon to be able to ſpeak.
-
- [1] “He was not at all offended, when, comparing all our
- acquaintance to ſome animal or other, we pitched upon the
- elephant for his reſemblance, adding, that the proboſcis of that
- creature was like his mind moſt exactly, ſtrong to buffet even
- the tyger, and pliable to pick up even the pin.”—Piozzi, p.
- 205.—N.B. For elephant our author probably read _pig_.
-
- [2] We have ſought for information concerning this fact, that
- the gentleman deſignated in the text was born in _Moorfields_,
- or that his father was a bookſeller there, which, however, we
- confeſs to have heard, but when or where we can by no means
- remember.
-
- [3]
- Cloath ſpice, line trunks, or flutt’ring in a row,
- Befringe the rails of _Bedlam_ or Soho.
- POPE’S IM. OF HORACE, Ep. I. B. 2.
-
- [4] “When in company where he was not free, or when engaged
- earneſtly in converſation, he never gave way to ſuch habits,
- which proves that they were not involuntary.” I ſtill, however,
- think, that theſe geſtures were involuntary; for ſurely had not
- that been the caſe, he would have reſtrained them in the public
- ſtreets.—Boſwell’s Tour, p. 9.
-
- [5] The pretence of a miraculous power in the cure of the evil
- was the moſt extraordinary ſtrain of that King-craft of which
- James the Firſt ſo loudly boaſted. No manly man, under the
- circumſtances of the caſe, would have ſet up this pretence, or
- have expected any effect from it but that of public deriſion and
- contempt; but weak and credulous men take, perhaps, the beſt
- meaſure of human weakneſs and credulity, and ſo deep did this
- fraud ſtrike its roots, that, authenticated as it was by the
- clergy, and annually certified by the ſurgeons and phyſicians
- of the royal houſehold, it ſurvived the civil war, was reſtored
- with Charles the Second, extended beyond the revolution, and was
- only extinguiſhed by the act of ſettlement, which, taking the
- principles of the Britiſh government out of the clouds, placed
- them on the firm baſis of the earth. The pretenſions of Alexander
- were of a bolder and more rational ſort, and held to be ſo
- important, that his ſucceſſors, who had no kindred intereſt in
- the horns of Ammon, yet mingled them in their crowns and tiaras,
- till at laſt the Roman Titans tumbled from their ſeats one after
- another theſe fictitious gods. The moſt deceitful glimmer of
- divine claim ſeems to have had more influence on the mind of the
- perſon who ſeems to have been deſignated in the text, than the
- moſt ſolid principles of political right.
-
- [6] “I mentioned Lord Hailes as a man of anecdote—He was not
- pleaſed with him for publiſhing only ſuch memorials as were
- unfavourable for the _Stuart_ family.”—Boſwell’s Tour, p. 312.
-
- [7] Tantony pigs were pigs who belonged formerly to the Convent
- of St. Anthony in the city. Collars were placed about their
- necks, inſcribed _St. Anthony_. They fed all over the town, and
- out of reſpect to the fathers of that convent, it was uſual for
- the paſſengers to give them biſcuits, and other things carried
- for that purpoſe in their pockets. The pigs of courſe followed
- the paſſengers in this expectation; and hence came the expreſſion
- of one perſon’s following another like a Tantony pig.
-
-This being publicly known, the neighbours now put on him a human coat,
-in which condition he appeared as if the _Hog in armour_ had deſcended
-from his ſign-poſt to mingle in ſociety, and converſe with man. Nor did
-they ſtop here, but ventured alſo to recommend him for a penſion to
-the great _miniſterial hog_, though, for the preſent, however, without
-effect; for though it was evident enough that our learned Pig could ſay
-_Ay_, yet it did not follow that he would be always diſpoſed to
-do ſo. He was therefore turned looſe into the ſoil of this great town
-to ſubſiſt as he could, where, _idling_ and _rambling_, he picked up
-ſometimes flowers, and ſometimes thiſtles, a great number of Greek and
-Hebrew roots, with an immenſe quantity of verbage of every ſort [8]. It
-is for his honour that he routed in this rich compoſt for years without
-giving any offence, except that, through reſentment to the Miltonic
-line, he aſſociated rather too long with a very obſcene animal of the
-pig kind, called a [9] _Lauder_; and except, that he was taken
-ſometimes with ſtrange freaks, and fancied once that he ſaw
-ſomething in the [10] ſhape of a ſound of a knocking; and excepting
-alſo his too ſonorous gruntulations, and that long concatenation of
-ſoapy bubbles which uſually frothed from his mouth [11]. In the
-midſt of theſe reſearches he had one morning the good fortune to throw
-up this ſentiment in rhyme:
-
- Say, what is a Tory? A Tory is he
-
- Who thinks kicking ſhould paſs through every degree;
-
- And that all political motion ſhould go
-
- From the toe to the bum, from the bum to the toe.
-
- Then what is a [12] Whig? A dog full of knavery,
-
- A raſcal, a ſcoundrel impatient of ſlavery,
-
- A malignant, a thief;—then tell me if Whig
-
- Be any more better than gruntledum pig?
-
- [8] The perſon here deſigned is allowed by the courteſy of the
- times to poſſeſs a nervous and elegant ſtile; but ſo unhappy is
- the writer of this note, that he can by no means concur in the
- general praiſe. He has a notion of Saxon ſimplicity, from which
- all departure, not enforced by neceſſity, and regulated by taſte,
- aſſimilating, as much as may be, foreign words to the genius of
- the Saxon tongue, is to him intolerable. But the writer here
- ſpoken of was wholly deficient in taſte, and appears to refer his
- Engliſh to ſome foreign ſtandard chanting forth polyſyllables,
- and tiring the ear with dull returns of the ſame cadences, for
- ever advancing like a poſt horſe, two up and two down, and
- incapable of changing his pace, without throwing both himſelf and
- his rider in the dirt. But hack writers, like hack horſes, find
- it for their eaſe to practiſe an uniform rate.
-
- [9] _There is_, ſays a remarker on the life of Milton, _a
- high degree of prepollent probability that the letter in the
- Gentleman’s Magazine for the month of Auguſt 1747, page 363 and
- 364, ſigned William Lauder, came from the amicable hand of the
- writer of that life_. I do not, however, believe that the writer
- of Milton’s life was in the ſecret of Lauder’s forgeries, the
- fact itſelf being of ſo extraordinary a nature, that it is not
- probable that any two perſons, ſeparately capable of committing
- it, ſhould ſo fortuitouſly meet together; yet ſuch was his
- malevolence towards Milton, that we muſt admit it to have greatly
- clouded his underſtanding. He undoubtedly wrote the preface and
- the poſtſcript to Lauder’s publication: in alluſion to which,
- Doctor Douglas ſays, _that ’tis hoped, nay ’tis expected, that
- the the elegant and nervous writer, whoſe judicious ſentiments
- and inimitable ſtyle point out author of Lauder’s preface and
- poſtſcript, will no longer allow one to plume himſelf with his
- feathers, who appears ſo little to have deſerved his aſſiſtance_.
- Lauder confeſſes his guilt in a letter to Doctor Douglas, and
- takes all the obloquy on himſelf; but in a ſubſequent letter he
- declares, that the penitential one was written for him by that
- very gentleman, who has ſince written the life of Milton, and
- makes ſome complaints of a breach of friendſhip, _in which he
- had placed the moſt implicit and unlimited confidence_; but as
- he never charged, that I know of, the writer of Milton’s life
- with any participation in the forgery, we impute to him nothing
- but a ſtrange malignity which darkened his underſtanding. It
- muſt be owned, however, that he cut off the wreck of Lauder with
- great management, as well as competent ſucceſs. I remember that
- he boaſts in his life of Milton of his having written a prologue
- to the Comus of Milton, for the benefit of one of his grand
- daughters. This, I ſuppoſe, he would paſs for his benevolence;
- but he muſt excuſe me; I am not ſo much the dupe of charity as to
- believe, that he who ſo brutally calumniates Milton, his father,
- mother, uncles, wives, and children, _and all unfortunate ſouls
- that trace him in his line_, would be moved by any charitable
- diſpoſition towards any deſcendant of Milton’s, as being ſuch.
- The fact, I believe, is, that, finding Milton reduced by the
- labours of his friend Lauder to a level with his wiſhes, he
- practiſed, in concurrence with Mr. Lauder, one further act of
- malice, and endeavoured to fix an obligation on Milton in the
- perſon of his granddaughter, conferred by his moſt inveterate
- foes as the effect of ſatiated vengeance, converted into mingled
- pity and contempt. If there is any harſhneſs in this note, let
- it be remembered, that it ſpeaks of a man who, in the inſtance
- mentioned, let looſe the moſt outrageous malignity againſt one,
- who, whatever political errors he might have imbibed in common
- with a great majority of the nation, was, however, as a private
- man, of ſo exemplary a virtue, as to do the higheſt honour
- to literary purſuit, and whoſe genius, as a poet, conferred
- celebrity on the nation itſelf, and in whoſe protection therefore
- we ought to have taken a greater ſhare.
-
- [10] The hiſtory of this knocking is curious; it forms ſuch a
- drama of comedy, tragedy, and farce, from its firſt commencement
- in Cock Lane, paſſing through the ſolemn vaults of Clerkenwell,
- and then to Weſtminſter Hall, as, I believe, never was exhibited
- in any other country; a drama wherein childiſhneſs and age,
- gravity, dignities, folly, fraud, ſuperſtition, and credulity,
- were all largely and confuſedly thrown in to thicken the plot.
- That the perſon here deſignated ſhould carry out of this ſcene
- any reſpectability of character, is a proof that either he muſt
- have poſſeſſed great intrinſic worth, who could bear ſuch large
- deductions, or that public opinion has ceaſed to be the teſt of
- merit, if any baſe metal can in this manner paſs current for gold.
-
- [11] Our biographer ſhould have told us alſo, that once he joined
- the train of fancy, and paſſing the limits of fact, entered by
- the Shakeſpearean gate into fairy land. But in an evil hour, “No
- favouring Sybil marked the devious way.” Never was man or pig ſo
- aſtounded! and no wonder. He had ſtumbled unaccountably on the
- creations of ſenſibility, and found no correſponding emotions
- within; yet, unconſcious of defect, he pretended a knowledge of
- the country, and even offered himſelf as an unerring guide; but
- not long; for, tired with the maze, he gave way, at length, to
- new adventurers, and fled as another Gulliver out of Lilliput,
- where he had only encumbered the land.
-
- [12] “No man, however, was more jealouſly attached to his party;
- he not only loved a man the better, if he hated a _Whig_. Dear
- Bathurſt, ſaid he to me one day, was a man to my very heart’s
- content; he hated a fool, and he hated a rogue, and he hated a
- _Whig_; he was a very good hater.”—Piozzi’s Memoirs, p. 83.
-
- “_Pulteney_ was as paltry a fellow as could be. He was a _Whig_,
- who pretended to be honeſt; and you know it is ridiculous for a
- _Whig_ to pretend to be honeſt.” Boſwell’s Journal, p. 424.
-
- Talking of Granger—“The dog is a _Whig_: I do not like much to
- ſee a Whig in any dreſs; but I hate to ſee a _Whig_ in a parſon’s
- gown.”—_Ibid._ p. 312.
-
-There needed no more; a penſion was immediately hung about his neck,
-and the letters L. L. D. ſoon afterwards impreſſed on his rump [13].
-And now who but our Pig? lying in the ſun, cheek by jowl, by the great
-miniſterial Hog, routing in the political ſoil, and throwing up daily
-the moſt delicious pig-nuts with his ſnout; nor did theſe
-diſcoveries reſt wholly in himſelf; for the great Hog would ſometimes
-let fall, from behind, certain rich, but often crude and ill-digeſted,
-materials, which were taken up in the Weſtphalian mode by our Pig, and
-delivered again better concocted to the many-headed beaſt: and hence
-we were taught, that Taxation was no Tyranny, and that a good American
-war was a very commodious and ſalutary thing. Great applauſe enſued,
-but not unattended with envy, there being at the time many ſnarlers who
-have ſaid, and now ſay, that it were better if our Pig had been, before
-this period, well ſouſed in the pickling tub, and that even the great
-miniſterial Hog himſelf had been hung up for bacon. I decide nothing
-on theſe brawls; yet, having reſpect to a certain ſuppoſed dignity in
-our Pig, it may, perhaps, excite ſome wonder, that he, whoſe politics
-were of no older a date than his penſion, and who had hitherto never
-routed out of the moral track, ſhould all at once lend himſelf out
-in this manner, and make his conſcience reſponſible for meaſures, of
-the principles or effects of which he muſt have been ſo incompetent
-a judge. But I anſwer in few words, that, like all other
-politicians, he had his propenſities; that it was, perhaps, the nature
-of the animal, and that mingling his humours and his reaſon together,
-there might have been a competent ſincerity in the caſe. But what ſhall
-we ſay to the indecency of his turning up the graves of _Pope_ and [14]
-_Swift_, (for I ſpeak not now of Milton) and goring them, Tories as
-they were, with ſo malicious a tooth? I anſwer, firſt, that they were
-not Tories. _Pope_ placed his glory in moderation; and _Swift_ was the
-renegade of one party, without being the convert of the other. But it
-was not _Whig_ or _Tory_, I believe, which now moved our Pig: there are
-other inſtinctive enmities in the world. Theſe men of real genius were
-ſatiriſts by profeſſion, and the natural enemies of Pigſ—“_The fewer
-ſtill I name_,” ſays Pope, “_I hurt the more_.”—“_Bond is but one, but
-Balaam is a ſcore_;” and again, “An hundred ſmart in _Timon and in
-Balaam_.” And I believe that our Pig ſmarted in _Bentley_, _Tibbald_,
-and poſſibly in many others; the ſtorm had but juſt patted
-before him, and he heard the arrowy ſhower ſtill rattle in his ear, and
-was conſcious, perhaps, that had he come forth a day ſooner, he would
-have been placed in a diſtinguiſhed, but, to him, a very unpleaſant,
-niche in the Dunciad of _Pope_,
-
- “Sacred to ridicule his whole life long,
-
- “And the ſad burden of ſome merry ſong.”
-
- [13] Our author daſhes away from thing to thing with very
- little method or order. He might, however, have touched on the
- occupation of a ſchoolmaſter, ſo honourable for a _pig_; in proof
- of which, we could have furniſhed him with the following document:
-
- “At Edial, near Litchfield, in Staffordſhire, young gentlemen
- are boarded and taught the Latin and Greek languages by Samuel
- Johnſon.”
- ADVERTISEMENT IN THE GENT. MAG. 1736, p. 428.
-
- [14] “He ſeemed to me to have an unaccountable prejudice againſt
- Swift; for I once took the liberty to aſk him, if Swift had
- perſonally offended him; and he told me, he had not.”—Boſwell’s
- Tour, p. 38.
-
-Where he inſults therefore the mighty dead, his rage is at leaſt
-natural; and when, to wound _Pope_, he ſuborns the tongue of a [15]
-kitchen wench, he preſerves, however, a nice proportion between his
-end and his means, doing, with very ſingular propriety, the baſeſt
-thing in, what muſt be allowed to be, the loweſt way. But we abſtain,
-we affect not gravity, we even forget his almoſt felonious attack upon
-Milton, and proceed. We have already noted the facility with which
-our learned Pig could ſay _Ay_. It was a great accompliſhment;
-but he had alſo his defects. [16] No art, no inſtruction could ever
-bring him to make a tolerable bow, or indeed to practice any civil
-grimace whatever; and his higheſt approach, in this way, towards
-humanity, never went farther than to entitle him, from the moſt
-exquiſite judge, to the character of a very _reſpectable Hottentot_:
-and hence he became at laſt to be conſidered as a very great [17]
-_Bore_; under which diſgrace he retired to a brewery in the
-Borough.—Happy retirement! for here he was fed with the freſheſt grains
-by the fair hand of a lady, who condeſcended to become the prieſteſs
-of our Pig; a lady who had acquired the Greek language without loſing
-her own, and whoſe manners and latinity were both equally pure. How
-great therefore muſt have been his grief, when he afterwards ſaw
-his fair provider melt away into the arms of a ſoft, but doubtleſs
-ſinewy Signor, and bathe herſelf, as it is yet her fortune to do, in
-the voluptuous warmths of Italy. But her’s, however be the praiſe,
-that, compoſed of gentle paſſions, ſhe conſcientiouſly ſacrificed,
-at thirty-eight, fortune, freedom, and England, only to legalize her
-delights. Never in any future period may ſhe be repentant of her
-choice, but always find in the joys of harmony a compenſation for
-the decays of love. From the fair hand of this lady our Pig was not
-only fed with the fineſt grains, but with the choiceſt green peas alſo,
-the earlieſt of the year—delicious food, as he himſelf confeſſes—for a
-[18] _Pig_. By her too was prepared for him the moſt inviting draff,
-which he ſwilled up at all hours with huge avidity and delight. But the
-lady had her humours; ſhe grew tired of one thing, and fond of another;
-ſhe ſought, upon preſſing inducements, the great rendezvous of Bath;
-and ſo the joys of the brewery had an end. Many were of opinion, (for
-who can pleaſe all,) that a certain diſtillery in the neighbourhood
-would have been a more apt and proper retreat for our Pig;—but there
-were difficulties; I enter not into domeſtic affairs; but whether there
-was any whiggiſm, or rivalſhip, or jealouſy, or what elſe in the caſe,
-I know not; but certain it is, that Sir Joſeph and he could
-never, as they ought, well pig together. During the happy period above
-mentioned, it came into the fancy of our Pig to journey into Scotland
-in the character of a travelling bear, with a ragged ſtaff in his paws,
-and a [19] monkey on his back. When he firſt obtained a penſion, he
-had been very affectionately conſidered by the people of that country,
-and in a manner naturalized, and become one of them; but he diſcovered
-ſoon afterwards, and more particularly on this occaſion, ſo much of the
-badger in his diſpoſition, that they found great reaſon to complain of
-the ſtrength and harſhneſs of his jaw. On his return he reſorted again
-to his beloved brewery, as yet profuſe of grains and draff, where he
-grunted forth, as was his cuſtom, many ſtrange and ſingular things,
-faithfully now on record, pretending alſo to cure certain mental
-diſeaſes by the medicinal qualities of his tongue; but its extreme
-roughneſs the ſenſibility of his patients could not bear. Enough has
-been ſaid; the reſt ſhall be left to Bozzy. Yet we will add,
-that with all his peculiarities, he had virtues and merits enough to
-make us heartily wiſh he were ſtill in being:—But, alas, it is paſt,
-and he is now cutting up into junks, to be ſold _pro bono publico_ at
-nine different ſhops in retail.
-
- [15] Moſt of what can be told concerning his petty peculiarities
- was communicated by a female domeſtic of the Earl of Oxford, who
- knew him, perhaps, after the middle of life.—Johnſon’s Lives of
- the Poets, 8vo. vol. 4, p. 141.
-
- [16] And yet certain it is that no pains was ſpared for this
- purpoſe; for “my mother (ſaid he) was always telling me that
- I did not behave myſelf; that I ſhould endeavour to learn
- behaviour, and ſuch cant.” Indeed his defect in this particular
- could not be overlooked by his moſt partial admirer; for “I
- ſuppoſe none (ſays ſhe) who ſaw his odd manner of geſticulation,
- much blamed or wondered at the good lady’s ſolicitude concerning
- her ſon’s behaviour.”—Piozzi’s Memoirs of Johnſon, p. 24 and 25.
-
- [17] Cant words are uſually begot in a cellar by _fun_ upon
- _folly_: but the word _bore_ and _boar_ has another origin; it
- was begot on a ſofa by _Madamoiſelle Ennui_ upon herſelf, and
- brought forth into the world in the midſt of the ton. The roar
- and fury of the river Severn the people of the country call the
- _boar_. A female ſaint was reported miraculouſly to have ſhed
- tears: the fact was denied by a Madrid carpenter who had made
- the ſaint, “becauſe (ſays he) ſhe is not only compoſed of heart
- of oak, but if ſhe had been at all diſpoſed to weep, ſhe muſt
- have wept when I _bored_ an aperture with my largeſt augre in
- her rump.” And thus teazing and vexation of every kind may be
- called a _bore_. A dun is a _bore_, and a ſermon is a _bore_, and
- ſo forth; but the greateſt of all poſſible _bores_, in whatever
- ſpelling, is a huſband, a _bore_ at night, a _bore_ in the
- morning, and, in ſhort, one general univerſal _bore_. Our author
- has uſed this faſhionable word with the moſt perfect propriety,
- in a ſenſe ſatisfying the very letter, as well as ſpirit of the
- word.
-
- [18] When we went into Wales together, and ſpent ſome time at Sir
- Robert Cotton’s at Llewenney, one day at dinner I meant to pleaſe
- Mr. Johnſon particularly with a diſh of very young peas.—“Are not
- they charming?” ſaid I to him, while he was eating them.—“Perhaps
- (ſaid he) they would be ſo—to a Pig.”—Piozzi, p. 63.
-
- [19] This paſſage ſeems inexplicable. We have had reſort to Bozz,
- but in vain: the ſtaff, indeed, he readily acknowledged; but as
- to the other aſſociate, or who, or what was meant, neither he nor
- we were able to diſcover.

-Footnotes have been renumbered 1–19 and moved from within paragraphs

-country outside the United States.

-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
-
- This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and

- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
-the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
-redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project

-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If

-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT

-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

-

-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

- Chief Executive and Director
- gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-great and learned Pig, of which it is our hap to
-ſpeak, was produced in a ſty belonging to an old Tory,
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;6&#160;]</span>
-bookſeller, in
-<a id="fnanc2" href="#fn2" class="fnanchor">†</a>
-<i>Moorfields</i>. At that time <i>Moorfields</i> was diſtinguiſhed
-by rails which
-<a id="fnanc3" href="#fn3" class="fnanchor">‡</a>
-fluttered with party writings and
-libels of every ſort; and it is remarkable that his mother,
-during her pregnancy, tore down from thoſe rails, and fairly
-devoured one whole volume of <i>Filmer</i> and all <i>Sacheverell</i>’s
-ſermons at a meal; after which ſhe was obſerved to grunt
-more and louder, and to lie longer in the ſun, and deeper in
-the mire, than it had before been her cuſtom to do. She
-was delivered of our Pig on the morning of the <i>tenth of
-June</i>. He was ſtrong and bony, but of an inelegant form,
-and betrayed a very uncommon roughneſs in his ſqueak; and
-it was ſoon after remarked by the neighbours, that his
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;7&#160;]</span>
-trottings after his mother were made in
-<a id="fnanc4" href="#fn4" class="fnanchor">§</a>
-zig-zags, and not in
-ſtraight lines as is uſual with other pigs. After his mother,
-however, he reſolutely trotted, and one morning, as ill fortune
-would have it, into a garden which had belonged to the
-great <i>Milton</i>, and was now in the poſſeſſion of one of his
-daughters. Here he fed voraciouſly upon <i>white roſes</i>, whilſt
-his lady mother was buſily employed in rooting up all the <i>red
-ones</i>. He was in this place ſeized by the owner, and ſo ſeverely
-whipped, that he thought no other than that ſhe was
-whipping him to death in preparation for a luxurious meal.
-Of this whipping he retained through life the higheſt reſentment,
-and bore ever after the moſt inveterate hatred of the
-whole <i>Miltonic line</i>. On the fifth of November following he
-was taken up, without any warrant, by the rabble, for the
-uſes of a <i>Whig feaſt</i>, and was very near being <i>roaſted</i> at the
-ſame fire with the <i>Pope</i>, the <i>Devil</i>, and the <i>Pretender</i>;
-but this <span class="xxpn">[&#160;8&#160;]</span>
-being diſcovered to be ſomething <i>meaſly</i>, he was turned looſe
-to be cured, as they deridingly ſaid, by the
-<a id="fnanc5" href="#fn5" class="fnanchor">◊</a>
-<i>royal touch</i>. Of
-this event he retained the ſtrongeſt ſenſibility, and conſidered
-ever after his fellow ſufferers, the <i>Pope</i> and the <i>Pretender</i>,
-with great complacence, if not affection; but as to the other
-<i>party</i>, though expoſed to the ſame diſhonours, there was ſomething
-in his horns and his tail which he could never be brought
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;9&#160;]</span>
-to endure. The touch already mentioned, though profanely
-ſneered at by the <i>Whig rabble</i>, was ſoon afterwards in good
-earneſt applied; but ſo great an obliquity of head had by
-this time taken place, that it could never be perfectly reſtored.
-Upon this memorable occaſion there was placed
-about his neck a ribband of <i>true blue</i>, to which hung a ſilver
-coin, diſplaying royal lineaments of the <i>Stuart line</i>, making
-ſo ſtrong an impreſſion on his young fancy, that for that line
-he ever after retained the moſt
-<a id="fnanc6" href="#fn6" class="fnanchor">#</a>
-paſſionate regard. Thus
-decorated, he conſidered himſelf, and was conſidered by
-others, as a kind of
-<a id="fnanc7" href="#fn7" class="fnanchor">♦</a>
-<i>Tantony</i>, or <i>St. Anthony</i>’s Pig, belonging
-to the Crown. Not long after this period he was
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;10&#160;]</span>
-heard one morning as he lay in the ſun to grunt forth, portentouſly
-the following rhymes:</p>
-

-The pretence of a miraculous power in the cure of the evil was the moſt
-extraordinary ſtrain of that King-craft of which James the Firſt ſo loudly boaſted.
-No manly man, under the circumſtances of the caſe, would have ſet up this
-pretence, or have expected any effect from it but that of public deriſion and
-contempt; but weak and credulous men take, perhaps, the beſt meaſure of
-human weakneſs and credulity, and ſo deep did this fraud ſtrike its roots, that,
-authenticated as it was by the clergy, and annually certified by the ſurgeons and
-phyſicians of the royal houſehold, it ſurvived the civil war, was reſtored
-with Charles the Second, extended beyond the revolution, and was only extinguiſhed
-by the act of ſettlement, which, taking the principles of the Britiſh
-government out of the clouds, placed them on the firm baſis of the earth.
-The pretenſions of Alexander were of a bolder and more rational ſort, and held
-to be ſo important, that his ſucceſſors, who had no kindred intereſt in the horns
-of Ammon, yet mingled them in their crowns and tiaras, till at laſt the Roman
-Titans tumbled from their ſeats one after another theſe fictitious gods. The

-Tantony pigs were pigs who belonged formerly to the Convent of St. Anthony
-in the city. Collars were placed about their necks, inſcribed <i>St. Anthony</i>.
-They fed all over the town, and out of reſpect to the fathers of that
-convent, it was uſual for the paſſengers to give them biſcuits, and other things
-carried for that purpoſe in their pockets. The pigs of courſe followed the
-paſſengers in this expectation; and hence came the expreſſion of one perſon’s
-following another like a Tantony pig.</p></li>

-<p class="continue">This being publicly known, the neighbours now put on him
-a human coat, in which condition he appeared as if the <i>Hog

-and converſe with man. Nor did they ſtop here, but
-ventured alſo to recommend him for a penſion to the great
-<i>miniſterial hog</i>, though, for the preſent, however, without

-Pig could ſay <i>Ay</i>, yet it did not follow that he would be
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;11&#160;]</span>
-always diſpoſed to do ſo. He was therefore turned looſe into
-the ſoil of this great town to ſubſiſt as he could, where, <i>idling</i>

-thiſtles, a great number of Greek and Hebrew roots, with
-an immenſe quantity of verbage of every ſort
-<a id="fnanc8" href="#fn8" class="fnanchor">*</a>. It is for his

-The perſon here deſigned is allowed by the courteſy of
-the times to poſſeſs a nervous and elegant ſtile; but ſo unhappy is
-the writer of this note, that he can by no means concur in the general
-praiſe. He has a notion of Saxon ſimplicity, from which all departure,
-not enforced by neceſſity, and regulated by taſte, aſſimilating, as
-much as may be, foreign words to the genius of the Saxon tongue, is to
-him intolerable. But the writer here ſpoken of was wholly deficient
-in taſte, and appears to refer his Engliſh to ſome foreign ſtandard
-chanting forth polyſyllables, and tiring the ear with dull returns of
-the ſame cadences, for ever advancing like a poſt horſe, two up and two
-down, and incapable of changing his pace, without throwing both himſelf
-and his rider in the dirt. But hack writers, like hack horſes, find it

-<i>There is</i>, ſays a remarker on the life of Milton, <i>a high degree of prepollent
-probability that the letter in the Gentleman’s Magazine for the month of Auguſt 1747,
-page 363 and 364, ſigned William Lauder, came from the amicable hand of the
-writer of that life</i>. I do not, however, believe that the writer of Milton’s life
-was in the ſecret of Lauder’s forgeries, the fact itſelf being of ſo extraordinary
-a nature, that it is not probable that any two perſons, ſeparately capable of committing
-it, ſhould ſo fortuitouſly meet together; yet ſuch was his malevolence towards
-Milton, that we muſt admit it to have greatly clouded his underſtanding.
-He undoubtedly wrote the preface and the poſtſcript to Lauder’s publication: in
-alluſion to which, Doctor Douglas ſays, <i>that ’tis hoped, nay ’tis expected, that the
-the elegant and nervous writer, whoſe judicious ſentiments and inimitable ſtyle point out
-author of Lauder’s preface and poſtſcript, will no longer allow one to plume himſelf
-with his feathers, who appears ſo little to have deſerved his aſſiſtance</i>. Lauder confeſſes
-his guilt in a letter to Doctor Douglas, and takes all the obloquy on himſelf;
-but in a ſubſequent letter he declares, that the penitential one was written for
-him by that very gentleman, who has ſince written the life of Milton, and makes
-ſome complaints of a breach of friendſhip, <i>in which he had placed the moſt implicit
-and unlimited confidence</i>; but as he never charged, that I know of, the writer of
-Milton’s life with any participation in the forgery, we impute to him nothing
-but a ſtrange malignity which darkened his underſtanding. It muſt be owned,
-however, that he cut off the wreck of Lauder with great management, as well
-as competent ſucceſs. I remember that he boaſts in his life of Milton of his
-having written a prologue to the Comus of Milton, for the benefit of one of
-his grand daughters. This, I ſuppoſe, he would paſs for his benevolence; but
-he muſt excuſe me; I am not ſo much the dupe of charity as to believe, that
-he who ſo brutally calumniates Milton, his father, mother, uncles, wives, and
-children, <i>and all unfortunate ſouls that trace him in his line</i>, would be moved by
-any charitable diſpoſition towards any deſcendant of Milton’s, as being ſuch.
-The fact, I believe, is, that, finding Milton reduced by the labours of his friend
-Lauder to a level with his wiſhes, he practiſed, in concurrence with Mr. Lauder,
-one further act of malice, and endeavoured to fix an obligation on Milton in the
-perſon of his granddaughter, conferred by his moſt inveterate foes as the effect
-of ſatiated vengeance, converted into mingled pity and contempt. If there is
-any harſhneſs in this note, let it be remembered, that it ſpeaks of a man who,
-in the inſtance mentioned, let looſe the moſt outrageous malignity againſt one,
-who, whatever political errors he might have imbibed in common with a great
-majority of the nation, was, however, as a private man, of ſo exemplary a virtue,
-as to do the higheſt honour to literary purſuit, and whoſe genius, as a poet, conferred
-celebrity on the nation itſelf, and in whoſe protection therefore we ought
-to have taken a greater ſhare.</p></li>

-The hiſtory of this knocking is curious; it forms ſuch a drama of comedy,
-tragedy, and farce, from its firſt commencement in Cock Lane, paſſing through
-the ſolemn vaults of Clerkenwell, and then to Weſtminſter Hall, as, I believe,
-never was exhibited in any other country; a drama wherein childiſhneſs and
-age, gravity, dignities, folly, fraud, ſuperſtition, and credulity, were all largely
-and confuſedly thrown in to thicken the plot. That the perſon here deſignated
-ſhould carry out of this ſcene any reſpectability of character, is a proof that
-either he muſt have poſſeſſed great intrinſic worth, who could bear ſuch large
-deductions, or that public opinion has ceaſed to be the teſt of merit, if any
-baſe metal can in this manner paſs current for gold.</p></li>

-Our biographer ſhould have told us alſo, that once he joined the train of
-fancy, and paſſing the limits of fact, entered by the Shakeſpearean gate into
-fairy land. But in an evil hour, “No favouring Sybil marked the devious
-way.” Never was man or pig ſo aſtounded! and no wonder. He had ſtumbled
-unaccountably on the creations of ſenſibility, and found no correſponding
-emotions within; yet, unconſcious of defect, he pretended a knowledge of
-the country, and even offered himſelf as an unerring guide; but not long; for,
-tired with the maze, he gave way, at length, to new adventurers, and fled as
-another Gulliver out of Lilliput, where he had only encumbered the

-<p class="continue">There needed no more;
-a penſion was immediately hung
-about his neck, and the letters L.&nbsp;L.&nbsp;D. ſoon afterwards impreſſed
-on his rump
-<a id="fnanc13" href="#fn13" class="fnanchor">*</a>.
-And now who but our Pig? lying in the
-ſun, cheek by jowl, by the great miniſterial Hog, routing in the
-political ſoil, and throwing up daily the moſt delicious
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;16&#160;]</span> pig-nuts
-with his ſnout; nor did theſe diſcoveries reſt wholly in
-himſelf; for the great Hog would ſometimes let fall, from behind,
-certain rich, but often crude and ill-digeſted, materials,
-which were taken up in the Weſtphalian mode by our Pig, and
-delivered again better concocted to the many-headed beaſt:
-and hence we were taught, that Taxation was no Tyranny, and
-that a good American war was a very commodious and ſalutary
-thing. Great applauſe enſued, but not unattended with
-envy, there being at the time many ſnarlers who have ſaid,
-and now ſay, that it were better if our Pig had been, before
-this period, well ſouſed in the pickling tub, and that even the
-great miniſterial Hog himſelf had been hung up for bacon.
-I decide nothing on theſe brawls; yet, having reſpect to a
-certain ſuppoſed dignity in our Pig, it may, perhaps, excite
-ſome wonder, that he, whoſe politics were of no older a date
-than his penſion, and who had hitherto never routed out of the
-moral track, ſhould all at once lend himſelf out in this manner,
-and make his conſcience reſponſible for meaſures, of the
-principles or effects of which he muſt have been ſo incompetent
-a judge. But I anſwer in few words, that, like all other
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;17&#160;]</span>
-politicians, he had his propenſities; that it was, perhaps, the
-nature of the animal, and that mingling his humours and his
-reaſon together, there might have been a competent ſincerity
-in the caſe. But what ſhall we ſay to the indecency of his
-turning up the graves of <i>Pope</i> and
-<a id="fnanc14" href="#fn14" class="fnanchor">†</a>
-<i>Swift</i>, (for I ſpeak not
-now of Milton) and goring them, Tories as they were, with
-ſo malicious a tooth? I anſwer, firſt, that they were not
-Tories. <i>Pope</i> placed his glory in moderation; and <i>Swift</i>
-was the renegade of one party, without being the convert of
-the other. But it was not <i>Whig</i> or <i>Tory</i>, I believe, which
-now moved our Pig: there are other inſtinctive enmities in
-the world. Theſe men of real genius were ſatiriſts by profeſſion,
-and the natural enemies of Pigſ—“<i>The fewer ſtill I
-name</i>,” ſays Pope, “<i>I hurt the more</i>.”—“<i>Bond is but one, but
-Balaam is a ſcore</i>;” and again, “An hundred ſmart in
-<i>Timon and in Balaam</i>.” And I believe that our Pig ſmarted
-in <i>Bentley</i>, <i>Tibbald</i>, and poſſibly in many others; the ſtorm
-<span class="xxpn" id="p18">[&#160;18&#160;]</span>
-had but juſt patted before him, and he heard the arrowy
-ſhower ſtill rattle in his ear, and was conſcious, perhaps, that
-had he come forth a day ſooner, he would have been placed
-in a diſtinguiſhed, but, to him, a very unpleaſant, niche in
-the Dunciad of <i>Pope</i>,</p>

-<p>Where he inſults therefore the mighty dead, his rage is at

-tongue of a
-<a id="fnanc15" href="#fn15" class="fnanchor">*</a>

-to be, the loweſt way. But we abſtain, we affect not gravity,
-we even forget his almoſt felonious attack upon Milton,
-and proceed. We have already noted the facility with which
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;19&#160;]</span>
-our learned Pig could ſay <i>Ay</i>. It was a great accompliſhment;
-but he had alſo his defects.
-<a id="fnanc16" href="#fn16" class="fnanchor">†</a>
-No art, no inſtruction
-could ever bring him to make a tolerable bow, or indeed to
-practice any civil grimace whatever; and his higheſt approach,
-in this way, towards humanity, never went farther
-than to entitle him, from the moſt exquiſite judge, to the
-character of a very <i>reſpectable Hottentot</i>: and hence he became
-at laſt to be conſidered as a very great
-<a id="fnanc17" href="#fn17" class="fnanchor">‡</a>
-<i>Bore</i>; under
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;20&#160;]</span>
-which diſgrace he retired to a brewery in the Borough.—Happy
-retirement! for here he was fed with the freſheſt grains
-by the fair hand of a lady, who condeſcended to become the
-prieſteſs of our Pig; a lady who had acquired the Greek language
-without loſing her own, and whoſe manners and latinity
-were both equally pure. How great therefore muſt have
-been his grief, when he afterwards ſaw his fair provider melt
-away into the arms of a ſoft, but doubtleſs ſinewy Signor,
-and bathe herſelf, as it is yet her fortune to do, in the voluptuous
-warmths of Italy. But her’s, however be the praiſe,
-that, compoſed of gentle paſſions, ſhe conſcientiouſly ſacrificed,
-at thirty-eight, fortune, freedom, and England, only to
-legalize her delights. Never in any future period may ſhe
-be repentant of her choice, but always find in the joys of
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;21&#160;]</span>
-harmony a compenſation for the decays of love. From the
-fair hand of this lady our Pig was not only fed with the fineſt
-grains, but with the choiceſt green peas alſo, the earlieſt of
-the year—delicious food, as he himſelf confeſſes—for a
-<a id="fnanc18" href="#fn18" class="fnanchor">§</a>
-<i>Pig</i>.
-By her too was prepared for him the moſt inviting draff,
-which he ſwilled up at all hours with huge avidity and delight.
-But the lady had her humours; ſhe grew tired of one
-thing, and fond of another; ſhe ſought, upon preſſing inducements,
-the great rendezvous of Bath; and ſo the joys of
-the brewery had an end. Many were of opinion, (for who
-can pleaſe all,) that a certain diſtillery in the neighbourhood
-would have been a more apt and proper retreat for our Pig;—but
-there were difficulties; I enter not into domeſtic affairs;
-but whether there was any whiggiſm, or rivalſhip, or
-jealouſy, or what elſe in the caſe, I know not; but certain it
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;22&#160;]</span>
-is, that Sir Joſeph and he could never, as they ought, well pig
-together. During the happy period above mentioned, it came
-into the fancy of our Pig to journey into Scotland in the character
-of a travelling bear, with a ragged ſtaff in his paws,
-and a
-<a id="fnanc19" href="#fn19" class="fnanchor">◊</a>
-monkey on his back. When he firſt obtained a penſion,
-he had been very affectionately conſidered by the people
-of that country, and in a manner naturalized, and become one
-of them; but he diſcovered ſoon afterwards, and more particularly
-on this occaſion, ſo much of the badger in his diſpoſition,
-that they found great reaſon to complain of the ſtrength
-and harſhneſs of his jaw. On his return he reſorted again to
-his beloved brewery, as yet profuſe of grains and draff,
-where he grunted forth, as was his cuſtom, many ſtrange and
-ſingular things, faithfully now on record, pretending alſo to
-cure certain mental diſeaſes by the medicinal qualities of his
-tongue; but its extreme roughneſs the ſenſibility of his patients
-could not bear. Enough has been ſaid; the reſt ſhall
-<span class="xxpn">[&#160;23&#160;]</span>
-be left to Bozzy. Yet we will add, that with all his peculiarities,
-he had virtues and merits enough to make us heartily
-wiſh he were ſtill in being:—But, alas, it is paſt, and he is
-now cutting up into junks, to be ſold <i>pro bono publico</i> at nine
-different ſhops in retail.</p>

-And yet certain it is that no pains was ſpared for this purpoſe; for “my

-ſhould endeavour to learn behaviour, and ſuch cant.” Indeed his defect in this

-Cant words are uſually begot in a cellar by <i>fun</i> upon <i>folly</i>: but the word
-<i>bore</i> and <i>boar</i> has another origin; it was begot on a ſofa by <i>Madamoiſelle Ennui</i>
-upon herſelf, and brought forth into the world in the midſt of the ton. The
-roar and fury of the river Severn the people of the country call the <i>boar</i>. A
-female ſaint was reported miraculouſly to have ſhed tears: the fact was denied
-by a Madrid carpenter who had made the ſaint, “becauſe (ſays he) ſhe is not
-only compoſed of heart of oak, but if ſhe had been at all diſpoſed to weep, ſhe
-muſt have wept when I <i>bored</i> an aperture with my largeſt augre in her rump.”
-And thus teazing and vexation of every kind may be called a <i>bore</i>. A dun is a
-<i>bore</i>, and a ſermon is a <i>bore</i>, and ſo forth; but the greateſt of all poſſible <i>bores</i>,
-in whatever ſpelling, is a huſband, a <i>bore</i> at night, a <i>bore</i> in the morning, and,
-in ſhort, one general univerſal <i>bore</i>. Our author has uſed this faſhionable word

-<h3>Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm</h3>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.</p>
-
-<p>Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org.</p>

-<h3>Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation</h3>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.</p>
-
-<p>The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/donate">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.</p>
-
-<p>While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.</p>
-
-<p>International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.</p>
-
-<p>Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate</p>
-
-<h3>Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.</h3>
-
-<p>Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.</p>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.</p>
-
-<p>Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org</p>
-
-<p>This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.</p>
