30 LETTERS TO

Rirationville, July 7, 1843.

URBANE SIR, – Posterior to the recuperation of my accustomary invalescence, and my recursion to the visne of Misanthropos, I encountered the compellation of a paritor with an interpellation for me to appear at the proxime judicatory to give a responsion to certain allegata, divulgated by Don Misanthropos, delator.

His somatic structure was procere and feateous; and his ostent, debonnair. Multiscious in vitilitigation, omnipercepient, pansophical, emissitious, and obversant with anthroposophy, he was without dubitancy, a dabster. His responsion to the isogogical speech of the jurist for the regime, was so consentient with the true placitory, and was such a pancratic cassation of the paralogy of the antiloquist, that all pendency relative to my sickerness was douted.

The jurist for the polity was a mere kickshaw. His cadaverous, rugose, and verruous phiz; his informous noll, his myopy and strabism; his edentated and nicotian moe, his repandous neb, his macilent corporeity, and the exility of his locomotives, premonstrated his
