^Vho ever lost his estate in Westminster-hali, i. Ut complained that he was quibbled out of his right ? Or wliat monarch ever broke a treaty, but by vir- tue of equivocation ? In short, so great is the ex- cellence of this art, so diffusive its influence, tliat Pv 2 184 CUARDIAX. N"35.
when I go into a library, I say to myself, " Wliat volumes of puns do I behold!" When I look upon the men of business, I cry out, " How powerful is the tribe of the quibblers \" When I see statesmen and ambassado...rs, I reflect, " How splendid the etpiipage of the quirk ! in what pomp do the pun- sters appear \" ' But as there are serious puns, such as I have instanced in, so likewise there are puns comical. These are what I would recommend to my country- men ; which I shall do by displaying tiie advantages flowing from them.
' The first advantage of punning is, that it gives us the compass of our own language. This is very obvious. For the great business of the punster is to hunt out the several words in our tongue that agree in sound, and have various signilications.
