Rev. Busby Birch. In these critical and political remarks (which he entitled
gpt
City Latin ) the gay scoffer professed in his preface to prove
human

The ordinary of Newgate, my lord's chaplain, or the masters of Merchant Taylors', Paul's, or Charterhouse schools, who produced the wonderful pontine inscription, must have winced under the blows of this jester's bladderful of peas. Thornton laughed most at the awkward phrase implying that Mr. Pitt had caught the happy contagion of his own probity and spirit. He said that
gpt
Gulielmi Pitt should have been
human
Gulielmi Fossæ.

GUIL. FOSSÆ, Patri Patriæ D.D.D. (_i.e._, Datur, Dicatur, Dedicatur).
