50 COLONEL HANGER TO 



derfully fine dog, but not worth a guinea. 

 I replied, I was certain Mr. Wyndham 

 would not deceive me. In short, I took 

 him out every day, and gave him nothing 

 but some broth at night, and a lump of 

 bread as big as my hand, for five days. 

 He increased in his hunting every day, and 

 the sixth day, he set a hunting like the 

 very devil, and continued it the whole 

 season ; and I declare I never had a faster 

 or a stouter. I mention this only to shew 

 how necessary it is to observe, by the 

 bone and make of dogs, which one should 

 carry flesh, and which should not ; yet, 

 generally speaking, they are all fed alike, 

 and, for certain, if they are fed by an igno- 

 rant servant lad. 



Did you ever see a man, a pugilist, with 

 a belly, fleshy, and bubbies as large as a 

 w^oman, who could ever fight? — That 

 great overgrown beast O'Brien, the giant, 

 who was shewn for inonej% for some j-ears, 

 would have been beaten on a stage in a 

 very few minutes by many lads, not weigh- 

 ing eleven stone, who drive the jack-asses 

 to fetch garden-stuff* from Covent- Garden
