 The " History of John Bull " was designed to ridicule the Dukf. of

 their national oddities in the figure of a sturdy, corpulent old fellov^, 
 with a three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, leather breeches, and stoi.t 
 oaken cudgel. Thus they have taken a singular delight in exhibiting

 Were death deny'd, to live would not be life ; 
 Were death deny'd, ev'n fools would wish to die. 
 
 Young, IfiglU Thoughts. 
 __ Every man at time of death, 
 
 W^ould fain set forth some saying that may live 
 After his death and better humankind ; 
 For death gives life's last word a power to live, 
 And, like the stone- cut epitaph, remain 
 After the vanished voice, and speak to men.

 walk here in hope of procuring an invitation.

 were his grace's hospitality and companionship forced, as it were,

 to an imaginary country, supposed, in the IGth century, to be situ- 
 ated in the interior of South America, between the Rivers Orinoco 
 and Amazon, and abouuding in gold and all manner of precious 
 stones. Expeditions were huted out for the purpose of discovering 
 this fabulous region ; and, though all such attempts proved abor- 
 tive, the rumours of its existence continued to be believed down to 
 the beginning of the 18th century.

 "Erm." 
 
 — When Erin first rose from the dark-swelling flood, 
 God blessed the green island : he saw it was good. 
 The Emerald of Europe, it sparkled, it shone. 
 In the ring of this world the most precious stone.

 Against infection and the hand of war ; 
 This happy breed of men, this little world, 
 This precious stoue set in the silver sea, 
 Which serves it in the office of a wall, 
 Or as a moat defen.sive to a house.

 This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

 Envy. — Envy, elde st-bona of hell, embrued 
 
 Her hands in blood, and taught the sons of men 
 
 To make a death which nature never made, 
 
 And God abhorred ; with violence rude to break 
 
 The thread of life, ere half its length was run. 
 
 And rob a wretched brother of his being. 
 
 With joy Ambition saw, and soon improved 
 
 The execrable deed. 'Twas not enough 
 
 By subtle fraud to snatch a single life ; 
 
 Puny impiety ! Whole kingdoms fell 
 
 To sate the lust of power : more horrid still, 
 
 The foulest stain and scandal of our nature, 
 
 Became its boast. One murder made a villain : 
 
 Millions^ a hero. Princes were privileged 
 
 To kill, and numbers sanctified the crime. 
 
 Ah ! why will kings forget that they are men ? 
 
 And men that they are brethren ? Why delight

 Of nature, that should knit their souls together 
 
 In one soft bond of amity and love ? — Bishop PORTEOTJS.

 Equity. — Equity is a roguish thing: for law we have a measure, know 
 what to trust to ; equity is according to the conscience of him that 
 is Chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. 'Tia 
 all one as if they should make the standard for the measure we 
 call a foot a Chancellor's foot ; what an uncertain measure would 
 this be ! One Chancellor has a long foot, another a short foot, a 
 third an indifferent foot. 'Tis the same in the Chancellor's con- 
 science. — Selden, Table Talk. 
 
 Equivocation. — How absolute the knave is I we must speak by the

 Err. — To err is human, to forgive divine. — Pope, Essay on OritidfUTX 
 
 Error. — Errors like straws upon the surface flow ; 
 He who would search for pearls must dive below. 
 
 Dryden, All for Loft. 
 
 — It is much easier to meet with error than to find truth ; erroi

 Eternal City, The. — A popular and very ancient designation of Rome, 
 which was fabled to have been btiilt under the favour and im-

 Fata Morgana. — The name of a potent fairy, celebrated in the tales 
 of chivalry, and in the romantic poems of Italy. She was a pupil 
 of the enchanter Merlin, and the sister of Arthur, to whom she 
 discovered the intrigue of Queen Guinevere with Lancelot of the 
 Lake. In the "Orlando Inamorato" of Bojardo, she appears at 
 first as a personific;ition of Fortune, inhabiting a splendid resi- 
 dence at the bottom of a lake, and dispensing all the treasures 
 of the earth ; but she is afterwards found in her proper station, 
 subject, with the other fairies and the witches, to the all-potent 
 Demogorgon. 
 
 At the present day, the appellation of Fata Morgana is given to 
 a strange meteoric phenomenon, nearly allied to the mirage, witnessed, 
 in certain states of the tide and weather, in the Straits of Messina, 
 between Calabria and Sicily, and occasionally, though rarely, on other 
 coasts. It consists in the appearance, in the air over the surface of the 
 sea, of multiplied inverted images of objects on the surrounding coasts, 
 ■ — groves, hills, and towers, — all represented as in a moving picture. 
 The spectacle is popularly suj^iDosed to be produced by the fairy whose

 Flying Dutchman. — The name given by sailors to a phantom ship, 
 supposed to cruise in storms ott' the Cape of Good Hope. Accord- 
 ing to tradition, a Dutch captain, bound home from the Indies, 
 met with long-continued head-winds and heavy weather off the 
 Cape of Good Hope, and refused to put back as he was advised to 
 do, swearing a very profane oath that he would beat round the 
 Cape, if he had to beat there until the Day of Judgment. He 
 was taken at his word, and doomed to beat against head-winds all 
 his days. His sails are believed to have become threadbare, and 
 his ship's sides white with age, and himself and crew reduced 
 almost to shadows. He cannoD heave-to, or lower a boat, but 
 Boraetiraes hails vessels through his trumpet, and requests them to 
 take letters home for him. The superstition has its origin, pro- 
 bably, in the looming, or apparent suspension in the air, of .some 
 ship out of sight — a phenomenon sometimes witnessed at sea, and 
 caused by unequal refraction in the lower strata of the atmosphere^

 Great Unknown A name given to the author of the " Waverley

 The circumstance of Scott's having published a poem in the same 
 year in which "Waverley" appeared, and his engagement in other 
 literary undertaJtings being known, as well as the common prejudice 
 that a poet cannot excel as a prose writer, served to avert from him for 
 a time the suspicion of the authorship of the " Waverley Novels." The 
 taciturnity of the few intrusted with the secret defeated all attempts 
 to obtain direct evidence as to who was the author. From the first, 
 however, suspicion pointed strongly towards Scott ; and so many cir- 
 cumstances tended to strengthen it, that the disclosures from Con- 
 stable's and Ballautyne's books, and his own confession, scarcely in- 
 creased the moral conviction, which had long prevailed, that he was the

 Iron Duke. — A familiar title given to the Duke of Wellington. 
 According to the Rev. G. R. Gleig, this sobriquet arose out of the 
 building of an iron steamboat, which plied between Liverpool 
 and Dublin, and which its owners called the " Duke cf Wellington." 
 The tenn Iron Duke was first applied to the vessel ; and by-and- 
 by, rather in jest than in earnest, it was transferred to the Duke 
 himself. It had no reference whatever, at the outset, to any 
 peculiarities or assumed peculiarities, in his disposition ; though, 
 from the popular belief that he never entertained a generous 
 feeling toward the masses, it is sometimes understood as a figura-

 orders.

 IVIan in the Moon A name popularly given to the dark lines and 
 
 spots upon the surface of the moon which are visible to the naked 
 eye, and which, when examined with a good telescopt^, are dis- 
 covered to be the shadows of lunar mountains. It is one of the 
 most popular and perhaps one of the most ancient, supei'stitiona 
 in the world, that these lines and spots are the figure of a man 
 leaning on a fork, on which he carries a bundle of thorns or brush- 
 wood, for stealing which, on a Sunday, he was transported to the 
 •noon. (See Muhitmmer J^ighVs Dream, iii. 1, and Tempest, 
 u. 2.) The account given in Numbers xv. 32, et seq., of a man 
 who was stoned to death for gathering sticks upon the Sabbath 
 day, is undoubtedly the origin of this belief.

 It is enthroned in the hearts of kings.

 To be. — To BE, or not to be ; that is the question: 
 Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

 Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 
 And by opposing end them ? To die : to sleep ; 
 No more : and by a sleep to say we end 
 The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks 
 That flesh is heir to, — 'tis a consummation 
 Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep ; 
 To sleep : perchance to dream : ay, there's the rub ■ 
 For in that sleep of death what dreains may come, 
 When we have shuUled off this mortal coil, 
 Must give us pause. There's the respect 
 That makes calamity of so long life : 
 For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, 
 The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, 
 The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay. 
 The insolence of office, and the spurns 
 That patient merit of the unworthy takes, 
 When he himself might his quietus make 
 With a bare bodkin ? Who would fardels bear, 
 To grunt and sweat under a weary life. 
 But that the dread of something after death, — 
 The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn 
 No traveller returns, — puzzles the wUl, 
 And makes us rather bear those ills we have, 
 Than fly to others that we know not of ? 
 Thus conscience does make cowards of us all ; 
 And thus the native hue of resoluiion 
 Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought ; 
 And enterprises of great pith and moment. 
 With this regard their currents turn awry, 
 And lose the name of action. — Shakespere, Hamlet, act iii. bo. L

 years ago thorn were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, and Beelzebub, Apollyon, 
 and Legion, with their oompanions, perceiving by the path that tlie pilgrims made, 
 that their way to the city lay through this town of Vanity, they contrived here to set 
 up a fair — a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all 
 the year long. Therefore, at this fair, are all such merchandise sold, as houses, lands, 
 trades, p'iices, honours, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and 
 dtiigi^ts of all sorts, as harlots, wives, husbands, children, lives, blood, bodies, sculs, 
 tilviT. g< 'd, pearls, precious stones, and what not. And, moreover, at this fair, there 
 la, at all times, to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, fools, knaves, rogues, and that 
 of every kind. . . . Now, as I said, the way to the Celestial City lies just through 
 this town where this lusty fau' is kept ; and he that would go to the city, and yet not 
 go through this town, must needs go out of the world." 
 
 Thackeray \b& made use of the name of Vanity Fair as the title of his satiiick 
 novel.

 made game of him, and the incident suggested in after-life a short

 young England. — A collective designation given some thirty years ago 
 to a number of persons of rank and character, in England, who 
 were engaged in a social movement, having for its aim the revival 
 of the manners of mediseval times, which they held to have been 
 greatly injured by the growth of a commercial spirit among the 
 higher classes. Their cry was : 
 
 Let wealth anri commerce, laws and leamint?, die, 
 
 But give us back our old nobility. — Lord John Manners. 
 
 — Young EnglajnTD was gentlemanly and cleanly, its leaders 
 heing of the patrician order ; and it looked to the Middle Agea 
 for patterns of conduct. Its chiefs wore white waistcoats, gave 
 red cloaks and b okeu meat to old women, and would have lopped 
 oif three hundred j'ears from Old England's life, by pushing her 
 tack to the early days of Henry VIII. . . . Some of the 
 cleverest of the younger members of the aristocracy belonged to the 
 new organization, and a great genius (B. Disraeli) wrote some 
 delightful novels to show their purpose, and to illustrate their 
 manner of how-not-to-do-it in grappling with the grand social 
 questions of the age. . . . Young England went out as soberly 
 and steadily as it had lived. The select few who had composed it 
 died like gentlemen, and were as polite as Lord Chesterfield in the
