Gentlemen, among the many apothegms with which our English
language abounds . . . [1/2 col. essay on Woods's sand
glass] . . . which brings to mind these lines of the witty
Dean [Swift] of St. Patrick's
  What writer wou'd not grieve to see
  His friends could write as well as he;
  And rather than be thus out-done,
  He'd hang them every mother's son."  [signed] Caleb
Critick
