{194} First, as an instance of a question and answer, which might do as well (if the record be correct) for the present publication. "Q. We read in our public papers of the Pope's Bull and the Pope's Brief; pray, Gentlemen, what is the difference between them? "A. They differ much in the same manner as the Great Seal and Privy Seal do here in England. The Bull being of the highest authority where the papal power extends; the Brief is of less authority. The Bull has a leaden seal upon silk affixed to the foot of the instrument, as the wax under the Great Seal is to our letters patent. The Brief has _sub annulo piscatoris_ upon the side." Query. Is this answer complete and correct? Now for another specimen: "Q. Wise Oracle show, A good reason why, When from tavern we _go_, You're wel_come_ they cry. "A. The reason is plain, 'Cause doubtful to know, Till seeing their gain, If you _came well_ or no." The following is an example of unanswerable refutation. To show why a man has not one rib less than a woman, it is stated that imperfections are not hereditary; as in the case of "One Mr. L----, an honest sailor not far from Stepney, who has but one arm, and who cannot walk himself without the assistance of a wooden leg, and yet has a son, born some years after the amputation of is own limbs, whom he has bred both a fiddler and a dancing master.
