ture events to anfwer no end but the melt frivolous trifle,
fuch as the paffing of a funeral or marriage ; and that the
perfons endowed with this prophetic talent, mould be always

and that the gift Ihould be entirely confined to this language
and this country — thefe are notions too ridiculous to merit
