swutz lold i ini that he would not push him for the money before the s'ay of six months would be out ; the justice of the peace said he would go swatz's security that he would tlq as he had said after the expiralh n of six or seven months swatz took out an cxeru from the dead languages it contains few scraps of latin than 1 could have cxpectc from a professed scholar if the knowledge of a people were estimated by the number of books published the present age might vie with all the preceding for the palm — t'.very petit sevitnt thinks himself qual ified to instruct the rest of mankind he accordingly publishes a book in which he discovers the secret of be ing happy or some new theory to ex plain the phenomena of nature ; — all of which perhaps after having had its day of sunshine was exploded long ago and has been mouldering in the dust for more than a century what makes it more remarkable that so great a cacoethes scribendi et edendi should exist is the comparatively short life of most of this kind of pro duction hut a very small proportion of the books published long survive their authors a very considerable portion of them arc still born being scarcely known or even heard of out of the place in which they are publish ed of the remaining part of the books which issue in swarms from the press — some at firsi flourish and lor a short time wear a promising as pect like baron munchausen's bean they grow with amazing rapidi ty and twine round the horns of the moon hut they wither and shrink to nothing before the first meridian sun and their author finds himself launched from the chopped-straw in the moon to such a depth in the earth hat even the baron's nails of 40 years growth are insufficient to dig him out others are blasted by the rough hand of reviewers like the tawdry co lours between plates of rubbed glass upon the gentlest touch of a finger it is only such productions as are published after mature deliberation that survive the ravages of time —

as the sum was known and agreed to and acknowledged by the plaintiff that it conslimted what the act of assembly meant by a j.ii/tudateil account and therefore said judgment ought not lo be set aside his honor readily admitted the plain tiff hud not justice on his iltle tint ne wished to know what the word litjitiitnte meant three dictionaries were brougut into court to settle the definition of
